My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 1913
"Go ahead. Thank you for your hard work," said Zane. He noticed that Nicole did not look fine, so he just let them go.
As Jared supported Nicole to turn around, he suddenly remembered something. "Zane. If you have time, let's talk at night."
Nicole was pregnant, and there were some things that Jared had to be clear about with Zane.
Zane looked at Jared's serious expression and sensed that he wanted to talk about things he did not want to hear. Yet he still
nodded at his request. "Sure, I'll invite you out once I finish up."
"Alright." Jared nodded. He then took Nicole to a car driven by Janus.
After getting in the car, Nicole asked Jared, "What are you going to talk about with Zane?"
Jared raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
Nicole sighed. "Is it about retiring?"
Jared had talked about this before, but Nicole planned to tell Zane after the mission was completed. However, now that she was
pregnant before the mission was completed, she knew they needed to talk to Zane about it.
Jared replied, "Of course. Do you think you and your child could wait?"
Jared could never allow his wife to bring his kid on missions to capture criminals.
"But the mission isn't complete." Nicole sighed.
Jared replied, "It's halfway done. Plus, I'll help Zane."
Jared's only wish was for Nicole to rest. He would not just ignore Zane.
Seeing Jared's sincerity, Nicole could only compromise." Alright, we'll talk when we meet up with Zane later."
Nicole believed Zane would have his own considerations, so they could discuss it tonight.
"Yes." Jared nodded in agreement. His only thought now was to bring Nicole back to the hotel and let her rest properly.

Soon, they reached the hotel. Jared got out of the car first and went to Nicole's side. As Nicole was about to get out of the car,
Jared bent down and picked her up in his arms.
This sudden embrace left Nicole in an awkward position. Many guests in the lobby were looking at her. Nicole said in
embarrassment, "Let me go... This is too humiliating."
Jared said, "I don't feel ashamed at all." Jared continued to carry Nicole in his embrace until they got in the elevator. Only then
did Nicole's blush lessen.
Jared laughed at the sight. "You'll have to get used to it." Jared was thinking of carrying her out whenever they went out.
"I'm not going to allow this weird habit. I'm pregnant, not disabled." Nicole rolled her eyes, thinking Jared was being too dramatic.
"If you dare to come out for a risky adventure in the future, be prepared to be carried around by me. Otherwise, I won't let you
take the risk ever again."
Nicole was dumbfounded. "Why you! You're being a scoundrel."
Jared teased. "So what, if I was a scoundrel? Are you going to bite me?"
Nicole ignored him until Jared got her back in the hotel room, laying her gently on the bed. He then poured her a glass of water.
"You must be tired. Have some water."
Nicole felt a little better and took a break while drinking some water. Meanwhile, Janus called Jared to report on the situation.
"Lawrence's people had already left. Zane searched the entire base, taking away all the pieces of information, and looking for
clues."
