My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2157

Nicole was well aware that she and Lawrence had and would always just be friends. Lawrence, on the other hand, was becoming more reserved and had started to hide things from her, so she did not feel the need to ask about his affairs. Although she was curious as to why he had lied about his whereabouts, she did not want to clarify anything with him. She did not feel the need to anyway.

Lawrence squinted as she sensed that something was off with Nicole. He had only been away for a few days, yet it felt as if Nicole had changed, becoming somewhat of a stranger that he could not read.

Thinking about what he had just witnessed earlier, Lawrence felt a knot forming in his heart. 'Is it because of Jared?'

"Leo?" Nicole called out to Lawrence, snapping him out of his stupor.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Nothing. You must be busy since you've just come back, so I just wanted to ask if you need anything else." Nicole asked with a frown. 'Why was he staring into space just now?'

It was rather obvious that Nicole was indirectly asking him to leave, which caused Lawrence's expression to stiffen.

"Nah, I just came to see you." Lawrence could only continue saying, "All good now, so I'll be making a move."
