My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2947

Lawrence's eyes held a touch of genuine sorrow as he said," I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, but I had things I needed to do.”

Nicole's response was steady and calm, "It's okay, that's all behind us now."

Their relationship had changed; it couldn't return to what it used to be.

He knew what Nicole's words implied - their friendship was over. He might not have another chance to see Nolan and Lana, so he hoped to see them one last time.

Nicole considered this for a moment before answering, "You can see them at their school gate after school. But don't bother them. And remember, this is the last time."

Lawrence felt a wave of sadness, realizing Nicole was setting a final boundary.

After a brief pause, he accepted, "Okay."

Knowing there was nothing more to discuss, Lawrence stood up, "I guess I should get going."
