My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 88

Seeing Jared's beaming smile, Max could not help but look at him questionably.

Jared did not even bother to look at Max and walked straight toward Nicole.

He said, "You're here."

Nicole nodded and asked directly, "The new coffee, where's it?" Jared was not taken aback by her straightforwardness at all.

He stood up and pulled his sleeves, "I was waiting for you to come so I could make a fresh batch for you." Max saw him walking to the coffee bar unbelievably. He pushed his spectacles up his nose.

Then, he turned toward Nicole while trying to act cool," Ms.

Riddle, is... Mr.

Johnston going to make you a cup of coffee with his own hands?"

His reaction was a little weird.

Nicole glanced at him and replied, "Yeah, it isn't the first time.

Why?"

Max turned to look at Jared indifferently and thought, 'It isn't the first time.

'Oh, man.'

When Jared walked out to serve the coffee, he noticed Max standing beside Nicole and staring at him mindlessly.

He frowned, "Max, what are you still doing here? Have you finished your work?"

Max came back to his-senses and stopped staring at both of them.

He bid them goodbye and

left.

Nicole was not bothered by the weird interactions between them.

She only stared at the coffee from Jared.

All her focus was on it.

As soon as Jared noticed the way Nicole was staring at that cup of coffee, he could not help but laugh.

Sure enough, she is still a child at heart.

As long as it involved something she likes, she would be easily attracted.

While smirking, he took the coffee out of the tray and placed it in front of Nicole, "Here, try some."

Nicole immediately took a sip after hearing it.

Then, her face was shining with a satisfied look.

Looking at his bright eyes, Nicole thought he was waiting for her feedback.

She slowly opened her mouth, "This caramel macchiato is pretty good.

Especially the barista, that's some good coffee-making skills." After hearing such comments, Jared's eyes gleamed with joy.

He did not realize when he had started to care about this little brat's comments.

Seeing that Jared was still staring at her, Nicole raised her brows, "That's all for my feedback Do you have anything else to say?"

Hearing this, Jared's smile dropped.

What did she mean? Chasing him away after drinking the coffee he made? Jared frowned and started to question if his charm was not working on her anymore. Why is it that this girl was never moved by him? Last time, she did not want to eat with him.

This time around, she wanted to chase him away after drinking the coffee.

Could it be...that she really was here for the coffee only?

Does that mean that in her heart, Jared was not as important as a cup of coffee?

His arrogance and self-esteem did not stop him from trying.

He only snapped his fingers and asked for a cup of coffee, "I'm also having one cup.

I'll head back to work after this." Nicole nodded.

So, that was the plan.

The whole place was indeed crowded and full, so she could only accept to share a table with him reluctantly.

Seeing that she did not have anything else to do, Nicole put down her cup and took out a Mathematics exercise book from her bag.

Well, since she was already there, she could use the time to revise a few questions.

Jared's face turned even darker after seeing this.

Do not even mind the coffee.

Jared was the kind of person where girls were screaming over him everywhere he went.

But at this moment, in her eyes, he was not even comparable to a book of Mathematics questions? The sadness he felt was indescribable.

Jared only gave a death stare to Nicole.

However, Nicole could not sense anything.

She was focused on the questions, spinning her pen without writing a word.

No matter how long she sat there, Jared would be sitting in front of her for the same amount of time.

Nicole kept her books as the sky turned dark.

She only realized that the man sitting opposite her had not left yet after she had finished packing her bags.

She was stunned, "Why are you still here?"

Her reaction carried a sense of annoyance, and it hurt Jared once more.

Jared could not withstand it and replied, "No matter what, I'm still your fiancée by name, Don't you think you're acting a little too distant to me?" Nicole was taken aback by what he said. She raised her brows and said, "As you've said, it's just by name.

We were never close."

Jared was very speechless.

"I'm leaving now." Nicole took her bag and turned around to leave.

Her expression was so cold that it really seemed like she did not have any feelings for Jared.

Squinting slightly, Jared said, "You and Norah are sisters, yet your personality is so different." Nicole's eyes widened.

She did not know why he would suddenly mention Norah.

Jared looked at her playfully, "I'm not sure how that sister of yours got my number.

But she's been texting me every day.

As her sister, aren't you worried about it?" Jared stared into her eyes.

It was as if he was trying to sense the slightest hint of jealousy in her eyes or any change in emotions.

But... there was none.

Nicole's eyes were as clear as day.

She tilted her head slightly and asked, "Why should I be worried?"

She asked innocently as if she really did not know what was there for him to be worried about.

However, this added more salt to Jared's existing wound! As his fiancée by name, she was not worried about other girls hitting on him.

"Norah is Norah.

I am Nicole.

Whatever she likes doesn't mean I'll like it as well." Nicole said coldly and looked at him from head to toe.

Then, she turned around to leave.

Jared, who was left alone, mockingly said, "This brat... how dare she say that she doesn't like

me?"

Her eyes were filled with disdain just now.

No one dared to look at him with those eyes.

That girl was really touching all the wrong spots that angered him! He must really do a background check on her! He needs to know what kind of person Nicole was so that she could be this daring. Since she does not like him, what kind of guy would she like then?
