My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 1543

And yet, Jared refused to let go of Nicole.

Meanwhile, Spencer and Samuel attempted to chase after her, but Sean stood in the way, blocking them. "Chill. Let

her go. She must be tired. Let her go and get some rest."

There were one too many guests at the banquet, and as of now, Jared was the only one who could protect Nicole

from being harassed. Therefore, Sean had allowed her go with him. There were only a few of them who were

hesitant to let them go, and because of this, they could only agree.

Reluctant, Chloe watched as Jared dragged Nicole away. 'I can't be as stubborn as I've been before. This time

around, I will bide my time and wait for an opportunity!"

The evening breeze was gentle, as Jared drove Nicole along the bridge over the river, passing the night-time

scenery. The crisp air began to sober Nicole up, for she was slightly drunk before this.

"The air outside is certainly better and I really hate socializing." Nicole said, as she felt suffocated when she was at

the banquet earlier.

"So, I've done my part and helped you in every way I could." Jared flashed her a smile as he drove.

"What did you do?" Nicole raised her eyebrows.

Nicole was really occupied with the banquet earlier; she was so focused on putting up a bold front that she did not

have the time to think about anything else.

"Most of the people who came today are those who do follow the teachings passed down by their ancestors and will

obey the orders of the Fire Crest bearer. I've asked Max to register them all and their names

should've been sent to your email by now. As for those families who didn't attend, I've also asked him to make a

mental note of them," Jared said.

'Wow, I really did not expect Jared to gather all of the information after the banquet,' she thought.

Nicole, with a playful smile on her face, then flicked her watch on and checked her email.

"You're amazingly helpful," Nicole said to him with a beaming smile in her eyes.

"It's my honor." Jared pursed his lips.

Nicole then happily browsed through the list of families that was given to her. She was familiar with some of the

families, while there were also many that she did not know about. Everything was clear to her as she kept on

scrolling.

"Max's managing abilities are excellent. These are all very helpful."

Though Nicole knew that she could have also collected these materials herself, the speed at which Max had done so

was commendable.

"Whenever you need him, he is at your disposal," he said.

'Wow, even Max can be given as a gift." Nicole raised her eyebrows and smiled, thinking that Jared had become

more pleasing to the eyes as of recent.

Linder the influence of alcohol, Nicole leaned forward and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Your reward."

However, just as she was about to back off, Jared switched the autopilot on, grabbed the back of her head, and

said, "That's not enough."

Then, he planted a deep kiss on her lips. Nicole was taken aback for a moment, after which she returned the kiss.

As Jared made out with her, the buzz from the alcohol earlier made Nicole's head spin, and slowly but surely, the

world around them engulfed them.

In the distance, a cruise ship with fireworks sailed forth, crossing the bridge from down under. The skies then lit up

in a bright display of colors as Nicole smooched on, becoming addicted to the kiss that kept getting deeper.

The next day, at Jared's villa, Nicole was starving. Just as she was about to leave, a hand suddenly reached out and

a pair of eyes centered its gaze on her.

"Where are you going?" Jared asked, his smile wicked and charming.

Her heart proceeded to race as she beheld his handsome visage.

'I'm neither a slut, nor have I ever seen such a good-looking man before. His eyes are just all too seductive, I’ve got

to admit,' she thought.

"Let me go, I'm hungry..." Nicole relented.

"I'm hungry too," Jared said, looking up at her.

"Well, let's get up and have breakfast together," Nicole quickly suggested, wanting to leave.

However, Jared did not let go of her hand, "I want to stay a little longer."

As Nicole had gone abroad for a period of time, the two of them were finally spending some quality time together.

"How long has it been since you've been discharged? Your body needs to recover, and you need to have your

breakfast on time." Nicole nagged.

"Thanks to the Beacon, my body is getting better every day," he said.

Nicole was left speechless, 'It's a therapeutic device meant for saving lives. How could he use it for such a

purpose?'

Indeed, Nicole was unhappy toward how Jared was misusing The Beacon for such purposes.

Though Jared had stated that he did not wish to get up, he was worried that Nicole might be really famished, so he

got out of bed and made his way downstairs.

At the dining area, the housekeeper had already prepared breakfast for them. Nicole had also changed into a fresh

pair of clothes, completely disregarding the notion that the housekeeper was judging her from her looks.

'I've embarrassed myself countless times before, so it doesn't matter what they think of me,' she thought.

Jared sat directly across from Nicole, who was eating. Seeing that she was angry, he gave her a playful look. Then,

he poured her a glass of milk, before wiping her mouth gently.

"Okay, stop looking at me like that," she said.

'Jared seems to have some sort of supernatural ability. His stare alone can overwhelm you. I can't stand him when

he looks at me with those eyes. I feel as though I'm going to melt!' she thought.
