My Wife is a Hacker by Summer

Chapter 1307
"By the way, when will the equipment and materials arrive?" Nicole looked at Jared and asked.
"When will you be needing it?” he replied. "I'll send them to you whenever you need it."
Asmile appeared on the corner of Nicole's mouth, "Wow, that’s really nice of you. Can I have it the day after? I must plan the
office arrangement tomorrow."
"Okay. Do you need me to send someone over to help you with the planning?" Jared looked at Nicole and asked with concern.
‘There's no need for that," she said. “I can do it myself."
‘By yourself?" he asked. "But it's such a huge venue. How can you do it alone?’
‘Don't you worry about it. I'll send some men over tomorrow, and then, you can tell them what you've got in mind," Jared said
bluntly, rendering Nicole unable to refuse his offer.
‘How's Mr. Johnston Sr.'s recovery?" Nicole asked, suddenly remembering that Mr. Johnston Sr. was still in the hospital, and that
she was in such a hurry that she had not made time to visit him yet.
‘He's recovering just fine. He has been sneaking out of bed behind the doctor's back as of recent. I caught him once when I paid
him a visit," Jared said, updating her about Mr. Johnston Sr.'s situation.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Johnston Sr. would be acting like a kid at his age. He hasn't completed his recovery and he's already out
of bed... The doctors must be having a hard time." Nicole said, knowing how helpless yet hilarious the situation was.
"You guessed it,” he said. "The doctors were really flabbergasted and there was nothing they could do about it.”
‘However, they have said that he should be discharged in about two to three weeks from now." Jared looked at Nicole and said,
his eyes filled with hope.
"Really? That's great! We can buy a big bouquet of flowers to congratulate him the day he gets discharged," Nicole said with a
smile as she looked at him.
Jared brought her in for a hug and said, “Thank you.”

‘Hey! Why are you thanking me again? There's no need for US to be so courteous to each other.” Nicole said, thinking it was a
little strange.
‘Okay, ever since you came back, we haven't had time for each other. Don't you miss me?” Jared asked Nicole with a glint of
coquettishness in his eyes.
In response, Nicole looked at him shyly.
‘How am I supposed to answer him?' she thought. ‘I should come up with an excuse.’
"It's just that too many things have been happening as of recent,” she muttered. "Perhaps I have really been ignoring your
feelings, but I hope you don't mind."
Nicole got off Jared's lap and said, "It's getting late. I'll head upstairs to get some sleep first.”
After she was done speaking, she quickly made her way upstairs and vanished from Jared's line of sight.
I’ll be having another sleepless night if I don’t get away soon,’ Nicole thought.
The corner of Jared's mouth curled slightly when she caught her eye. He had read her expression and ascertained her
intentions, surmising that she was not holding back.
Even if she had not said anything, Jared would still have taken her upstairs. However it seemed to him that Nicole had made
things easier.
"Right. Time to get some sleep." Jared agreed and followed her upstairs.
Nicole, who had taken multiple steps ahead then spun around and asked,” You're going to sleep too? Do you not have anything
to deal with?"
"No," Jared replied and strode into the room.
Nicole stared at Jared's back as he walked up the stairs and suddenly, she halted in her tracks and thought, ‘Should I not go
upstairs to get some sleep? If I don't do so, I can still bed down in the living room. But if I go up now, I may not even have a
minute worth of rest to myself.’
