My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2228

The night was inching closer. Jared had just returned home and noticed light was coming from Nicole's study. 'I think she left it on for me.'

Jared glanced at Nicole sleeping on her bed, a flash of softness filled his eyes. He quietly slipped out of the room and took a shower before changing into a pair of fresh pajamas.

Jared slipped into bed and was about to sleep when Nicole suddenly turned over and laid in his arms. It was as if she had felt his presence. Unconsciously, she patted her hand on his chest.

Jared looked down at Nicole, his eyes softened as he saw Nicole was fast asleep. He could not help but to feel powerless when Nicole did this to him. He pulled the sheets over them both, pulling her tighter into his embrace before falling asleep.

Jared's exhaustion and worries were immediately swept away the moment he saw Nicole laying in his arms.

The next day, Nicole's eyes fluttered open and immediately, the first thing she saw was Jared's cheek. Jared was still fast asleep, Nicole was confused as to when and what time Jared had reached home last night. 'I guess he got home quite late last night.'

Nicole gently attempted to pry away from Jared's grasp, not wanting to wake him up. Unfortunately, Nicole failed. The moment she moved his arm away, Jared woke up and opened his eyes.
