My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 3034

Ellar's tired and downcast appearance immediately caught Dexter and Emma's attention, deepening their concern.

"Mom, Dad, why are you just getting back?" Ellar asked with a hint of confusion.

"We were visiting your Uncle Daniel," Dexter responded. He then turned the conversation towards Ellar's late arrival, "Why are you out so late again? What's keeping you?"

Ellar gave a half-hearted response, "Just had to work some overtime."

Dexter frowned, not convinced. "That's not true. You weren't at the office when it closed, and there wasn't any overtime scheduled."

Ellar looked taken aback. "How did you know?" He had left the office early, using overtime as an excuse to avoid questions from his parents, not knowing how else to explain his actions.

Emma gently explained their concern to Ellar, "We've noticed you're not yourself these days, and it's worrying US. That's why your dad went to check at your office. We just want to know if everything's alright."
