My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 75

Mr. Riddle Sr., who was sitting in the head seat, frowned when he saw Karen's behavior. He said coldly, "Karen, sit down."

Dillion knew Mr. Riddle Sr. hated people arguing during mealtime the most, so he quickly pulled the unwilling Karen to sit down.

Nicole sat down next to Norah, and both Samuel and Spencer looked past Norah to greet Nicole.

When Norah saw her brothers being so affectionate to Nicole, she intentionally said in a low voice to Nicole,' Honestly, you are a little late. Didn't we finish class hours ago?"

Though her voice was not loud, it was not soft either. So everyone at the table could hear her condemning Nicole.

Nicole arched her eyebrows as she was already used to Norah setting her up.

She then smiled menacingly, "I bumped into Jared after school, and he treated me to a meal."

Though she had paid for her food, Jared did not accept a cent from her as if he was waiting for her to show a guilty depression. But she did not see anything wrong with how she had rejected eating with him, so she just accepted his treat and left.

She thought back about Jared's expression and found him rather interesting.

Nicole smiled playfully, unaware that everyone was already stunned after listening to what she had said.

"What? Jared...treated you to a meal?" Karen was extremely surprised.

Though they were all aware that Mr. Riddle Sr. told Nicole about the engagement with Jared, they did not expect Jared to be interested in a country bumpkin like her!

Snow, who was sitting across from her, said bitterly," Nicole, no one is blaming you for being late. You don't have to say such a far-fetched excuse."

Snow seemed soft and gentle, but she was actually insulting Nicole, saying that she was lying.

Nicole smiled and took a sip of her juice. "You can ask Jared if you don't believe me."

At that moment, everyone's face went pale. Where could they get the courage to ask Jared?

It was said that Mr. Johnston Sr.'s dear grandson was making high demands as soon as he returned from overseas. Everyone in the Johnston Group followed his orders, and his position in San Joto was untouchable.

Although Mr. Johnston Sr. and Mr. Riddle Sr. were friends, the Riddle family was not close to Jared. How could they have the right to ask him about his

personal matters?

Mr. Riddle Sr. was ecstatic at that moment. He already knew that Nicole was a truthful person, so he smiled warmly at her. "It seems like Jared is really into you. You've got to get along well with him, okay?"

Mr. Riddle Sr. still had no idea about Nicole wanting to break off the engagement, but Nicole did not want to mention it either.

When Nicole saw the complicated expressions on their faces, as well as the proud expression on her parents' and her brothers' faces, she smiled playfully and kept quiet.

"Alright, let's start eating. Though you've already eaten, Nicole, please stay back and eat some food with us," Mr. Riddle Sr. welcomed Nicole happily.
