My Wife is a Hacker by Summer

Chapter 1600
Nicole suddenly felt that she was in constant danger and had brought harm to them all by extension.
"Nicole, please promise me this. If there's anything that you need, we will help you. We are a family. All of us will help you,”
Daniel said as he eyed Nicole's look of embarrassment, trying to comfort her.
‘‘I wasn't aware of her situation before, but now that I know, how could I let her live by herself?’’ he thought.
"Yes, bring Mrs. Wallace Sr. over and keep her protected as well,” Gloria said.
Nicole was not only an agent, but she was also the bearer of the Fire Crest. Thus, it was inevitable that she would become the
target of many others. Because of this, being at the Riddle residence would somewhat be the safer option. Still, Nicole could not
believe that her parents had thought of Mrs. Wallace Sr.
"Okay, thanks Mom and Dad," she said.
It was not until today that Nicole felt that she had an actual spot in the family.
"Don't be silly. You don't have to thank us." Daniel frowned, pretending to be offended.
"Now that we have gotten it all settled, we will protect you no matter what from now on. To us, you're still that little girl of ours,
and we will not allow you to face anything perilous on your own in the future. Do you understand?" Gloria said while wiping her
tears away.
"Understood...," Nicole nodded as she looked at Gloria, feeling unspeakably moved in her heart.
But upon beholding her mother’s complexion, she could not help but whisper, "Mom, I'm sorry. I must've scared you when I fired
the shot...”
Gloria shook her head quickly, "You didn't scare me. Your mother isn't that weak. It was Norah...I was afraid she would take a
shot at your father. Fortunately, you...” Gloria choked up and her eyes became red as she attempted to speak.
"Let's not talk about it anymore...I'm going to go upstairs and calm down for a bit. You guys can get Albert to prepare dinner."
‘It seems that she no longer has any strength to make dinner tonight,’ Nicole thought.

"Okay." Nicole nodded her head.
Daniel helped Gloria up the stairs as he noticed that she was still terrified.
As they were going up the stairs, Gloria began complaining," You idiot... You almost died!"
The Riddle children watched as their parents went up the stairs while bickering. They all looked at each other and smiled. Nicole
had also joined along, which was a rare sight to see.
As night approached, Nicole laid down with a sigh of relief after taking a shower.
It was then that Jared called her, his voice a little lower than usual. "Did Norah shoot you today?"
As it was totally unexpected for Jared to have heard of this news so soon, Nicole issued another sigh. "No, but it would've be
much worse if she had pointed the gun at me, or else, I wouldn't have opened fire.”
Though Nicole did not mention who was in the right and wrong, Jared had already guessed that something significant must have
transpired. Otherwise, she would not have shot Norah in front of her whole family.
"Don't worry, I won't be going easy on her. Until the murder charges are set, I will let her rot in prison and let her feel what it's like
to be living in a hellhole," Jared said, his voice stern.
Jared was the sort of person who would not let anyone get away with hurting those around him. He was definitely determined to
make Norah's life a living hell. Nicole had not expected that Jared would be so determined to prove Norah's crime in a single
day, so much so that she was impressed that he had done this.
"Thank you." Nicole thanked him in a low voice, knowing that Jared must have spent a lot of time and effort.
However, Jared was frustrated by her word of thanks.” Boyfriends are not for thanking, but for kissing. You owe me three kisses."
"Since when do I owe?"
‘What kind of nonsense is this guy talking about?’ she wondered.
"Didn't you say you wanted to thank me? I don't take verbal thanks. Tangible actions are required. Three kisses, no less than
that," Jared demanded.

This left Nicole dumbfounded. ‘For a kiss this guy really went all out.’
A helpless smile crossed her face as she agreed. "Okay, I'll give you five the next time we meet."
