My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 88

Seeing Jared's beaming smile, Max could not help but look at him questionably.

Jared did not even bother to look at Max and walked straight toward Nicole. He said, "You're here."

Nicole nodded and asked directly, "The new coffee, where's it?"

Jared was not taken aback by her straightforwardness at all. He stood up and pulled his sleeves, "I was waiting for you to come so I could make a fresh batch for you."

Max saw him walking to the coffee bar unbelievably.

He pushed his spectacles up his nose. Then, he turned toward Nicole while trying to act cool, "Ms. Riddle, is... Mr. Johnston going to make you a cup of coffee with his own hands?"

His reaction was a little weird. Nicole glanced at him and replied, "Yeah, it isn't the first time. Why?"

Max turned to look at Jared indifferently and thought,' It isn't the first time.

'Oh, man.'

When Jared walked out to serve the coffee, he noticed Max standing beside Nicole and staring at him mindlessly. He frowned, "Max, what are you still doing here? Have you finished your work?"

Max came back to his senses and stopped staring at both of them. He bid them goodbye and left.

Nicole was not bothered by the weird interactions between them. She only stared at the coffee from Jared. All her focus was on it.

As soon as Jared noticed the way Nicole was staring at that cup of coffee, he could not help but laugh.

Sure enough, she is still a child at heart. As long as it involved something she likes, she would be easily attracted.

While smirking, he took the coffee out of the tray and placed it in front of Nicole, "Here, try some."

Nicole immediately took a sip after hearing it. Then, her face was shining with a satisfied look.

Looking at his bright eyes, Nicole thought he was waiting for her feedback. She slowly opened her mouth, "This caramel macchiato is pretty good. Especially the barista, that's some good coffee-making skills."

After hearing such comments, Jared's eyes gleamed with joy.

He did not realize when he had started to care about this little brat's comments.

Seeing that Jared was still staring at her, Nicole raised her brows, "That's all for my feedback. Do you have anything else to say?"

Hearing this, Jared's smile dropped.

What did she mean? Chasing him away after drinking the coffee he made?

Jared frowned and started to question if his charm was not working on her anymore.

Why is it that this girl was never moved by him? Last time, she did not want to eat with him. This time around, she wanted to chase him away after drinking the coffee.

Could it be...that she really was here for the coffee only?

Does that mean that in her heart, Jared was not as important as a cup of coffee?

His arrogance and self-esteem did not stop him from trying. He only snapped his fingers and asked for a cup of coffee, "I'm also having one cup. I'll head back to work after this."

Nicole nodded. So, that was the plan. The whole place was indeed crowded and full, so she could only accept to share a table with him reluctantly.
