Semua Bab My Wife is a Hacker: Bab 1321 - Bab 1330

Gloria, who was sitting in the living room, heard Nicole's voice. Then, she stood up to welcome her daughter. "Nicole, you're here?""Oh, Jared is here too?" An expression of shock appeared on Gloria's face when she saw Nicole and Jared together."Mrs. Riddle, it has been a while. You're looking much better from the last time I met you." Jared greeted Gloria warmly."Really? I've been feeling better too. I guess it wasn't just a feeling. Come on in." Gloria led them into the living room."Where's dad?" Nicole asked as she noticed that Daniel was missing as soon as she entered the living room."He's in the study. I'll text him." Gloria flashed Nicole a grin."It's fine. I'll go and surprise him myself." Nicole got up with a smile on her face and went upstairs."That little girl of ours is really close to her dad. He'd be delighted when he finds out that she's back," Gloria explained to Jared."Here, have some fruits, Jared." Gloria served Jared the plate of fruits affectionately

"Yes.""Alright, I'll be there tonight." Sean said, giving an affirmative reply."Okay then, don't forget to inform Steve. We'll be waiting for you at home." Daniel hung up as soon as he was done speaking."Will do," Sean said."Dad, what did Sean say?" Nicole immediately asked as soon as Daniel hung up."The second I told him that you’re back, he said that he'll be coming back tonight." Daniel replied to her with a smile."That's great! The house will be a lot livelier tonight." Gloria exclaimed."Let me give Stanley, Spencer, and Samuel a call and see what time they will be home." Daniel immediately started dialing on his phone as soon as he had uttered the last word."Where are you guys at? Why is it so noisy there?" Daniel asked as he heard the sound of loud music coming from the other side."Dad, why are you calling?" Samuel said after he shifted to a much quieter spot."Nicole and Jared are back. All of you better be home earlier tonight. Is that clear?" Daniel ordered.

"Are you serious about that? You won't go back on your word, will you?" Nicole squinted her eyes and questioned him."I won't. I always stay true to my words." A devilish look formed on Jared's pretty face.Nicole took a deep breath and scanned her surroundings. Seeing that no one was around them, Nicole gave him a light peck on the cheek.Then, she looked at him and said, "Remember to send the photos to me!""Don't worry." Jared smiled.He never expected that he would actually get a kiss in exchange for a few photos. 'It's such a good bargain. Had I known this, I'd have brought her out on holidays more often.'"Nicole, would you like to continue with the travel plans we've discussed about?" Jared asked her."Travel? I would love to, but what about the chip?" Nicole gave Jared a helpless glance."Well, it's still in the early stages of development. Why not put the project on hold and continue working on it after we're back from our trip?" Jared asked."I'll leave that up to yo

Sean looked at Nicole with doting eyes, "Now, can you tell us the real reason as to why you came back so suddenly?""Actually, I'm working on an experiment now, but the equipment and materials back there were insufficient. Therefore, I gave it some thought and decided to come back. I could gain the support I need from you guys, so I just came back. That's all." Nicole explained to them with a blank stare on her face.She did not make mentions of her chip project to them. In the end of the day, it was a corporate secret which involved Jared's company. Because of this, she had to keep it private from them for the time being.Sean grinned and said, "I knew it. It's impossible that you can't fit in there. In the end, it was because of their inability to accommodate your plans. Since you're back, you should just focus on your experiment. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll make sure to get you whatever you need.""Well, I guess I'll have to thank you in advance." Nicole smiled

"Perhaps this fire was a big one, so they'll need more time to investigate it. I'm not very sure either." Nicole briefly explained."Yeah.""Oh right, I'm sure you guys have heard that the McCarthy family are going to visit the graves of their forefathers tomorrow, right?" Sean looked at everyone in the living room and asked."I've heard about it. The McCarthy family isn't a big one, and yet they have made a huge deal out of paying respects to their ancestors. It's as if they're afraid that no one will notice them. It's a bit extra if you ask me," Nicole commented with contempt."It is! I find it hard to believe that a fallen family would hold such a grand ceremony to pay respects to their forefathers," Steve commented in annoyance."Perhaps you guys are unaware of this, but the McCarthy family has established connections with a family of high social status abroad. They even became in-laws, and are doing well abroad. That's the main reason as to why they're going the whole nine ya
