Chapter 2519

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2519-As expected, Mr. Riddle Sr. turned to look at Nicole, “Do you have things on your mind?”

“No, I’m just too bogged down with work to think about a wedding at this point,” Nicole replied as she forced a smile.

“Work is never ending. You have your brothers, Sean, and Steve to help you out,” Mr. Riddle Sr.

retorted.

‘If work is an excuse for her to delay her wedding, then the wedding might not even happen,’ Mr. Riddle Sr. retorted.

“I know, Grandpa.” Nicole smiled, nodding along in fear of spoiling Mr. Riddle Sr. ‘s mood.

Mr. Riddle Sr. was left with mixed feelings when he saw that Nicole was being compliant, not knowing how to continue urging her to host her wedding.

“I suppose we’re all grownups now,” Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed in defeat.

Nicole knew that she had promised Mr. Riddle Sr. about the wedding, yet her heart was still fickle, and she was hesitant to share her perspective with anyone else.

Ellar, who had witnessed everything, blinked slowly, and looked upto Nicole with admiration. “Nicole, where did you learn that from? I want to know how to do that too!”

Nicole turned to Ellar with a dumbfounded look, “What?”

Then, Ellar lowered his head and said, “Next time, I’m going to use this same trick you used to get out of all these discussions about marriage.”

“You’re still being encouraged to get married?” Nicole asked, feeling a little shocked as her eyes widened.

“Yeah, there’s no other way. They kept pushing me after they failed to do so for my brother. Ever since Spencer and Samuel announced that they are getting married, my parents got more anxious. I’m using Stanley as an example. I mean, he’s still not married and I’m still young.” Ellar sighed.

It was one of the reasons why Ellar refused to go home for dinner. He knew that his parents would urge him to get wed as soon as possible each time they saw him.

Nicole gave Ellar a sympathetic look and offered him a weak smile in return. “You might as well find a girlfriend first then worry about getting married later. Maybe then, they’ll be less anxious.”

“Forget about it. I have to figure out how to manage the company first,” Ellar stated.

For him, getting himself a partner was the least of his worries; he simply did not have the time nor energy to deal with one. As such, he had decided to leave it to fate.

Nicole shrugged and kept quiet. ‘Afterall, things like emotions vary between people and their pursuit toward it.’

After dinner was over, everyone bid their goodbyes to Mr. Riddle Sr., hopped into their respective cars, and left. Nicole looked out the rearview mirror as they drove out of the courtyard.

She then glanced at Ellar’s car and smirked. “Ellar has grown so much.”

‘In the past five years, it seems that many things have remained unchanged. And yet, at the same time, everything had changed,’ Nicole pondered.

She then looked up at Jared and gave him a soft smile.’ Fortunately, he hasn’t changed one bit.*

Seeing this, Jared brought Nicole into a hug. “What are you smiling at?”

“I just feel that everyone has changed in many ways, but you haven’t changed a bit. Five years is quite a long time…,” Nicole whispered as she laid her head on Jared’s shoulder.

‘It was long enough for the world to change in its entirety,’ Nicole thought.

“You coming back made everything worth it.” Jared tightened his embrace.

Five years was indeed a long period, but Nicole’s return had given meaning to Jared for his years of perseverance.

Nicole bit her lip, turned to look at Jared with longing in her eyes, and said, “Let’s get married after this fiasco is over.”

Jared paused for a moment before raising his eyebrows,” What made you make this decision so suddenly?”

“I’m not sure. Suddenly, I feel that there are a lot of things that don’t seem as important anymore. We should make the best of it while we can and do something meaningful,” said Nicole.

‘Such as getting married, living happily together as a family, and sharing our future together,’ Nicole thought to herself.

“To do something meaningful. Yes, we should really make the best of it while we can,” Jared smiled, the look on his face becoming one of joy.
