My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 122

The two strolled one behind the other.

When Harvey and Snow came out, all they saw were Jared and Nicole’s distant back. Under the

illumination of the street lights, two slender shadows gradually overlapped in one place and stretched out

endlessly in the night. Harvey’s smile slowly dwindled as he locked his gaze on them. His eyes, which

were usually gentle, became icy.

It was not until the girls behind him said their goodbyes that he turned around with a smile and told them

to be careful on the way home. After seeing those girls being picked up by cars one after the other,

Harvey took off his suit jacket and put it on his arm. He spoke to Snow on the side, “Snow, go back.”

He was telling her to stop following him. The smile on Snow’s face froze. She had noticed Harvey’s grim

expression when he was looking at Nicole’s back. Snow pursed her lips and murmured, “Harvey, you’ve

been acting strange lately. What’s wrong with you?” Snow’s words had startled Harvey. ‘Even Snow is

aware of my unusual behavior. How could I not notice? It’s all because of Nicole.

There were subtle, mixed feelings in Harvey’s eyes.

Could it be… love at first sight? Or Is it because Grandpa thinks so highly of her that I am so concerned

about her?’ Gradually, Harvey couldn’t tell what was on his mind at that moment.

Little did he know that Snow, who was behind him, had already put all the blames on Nicole. Snow

cursed silently, ‘It’s all because of her!

(Ever since Nicole enrolled in the Royal Creek Institute, everyone’s attention has been drawn to her

unknowingly.

“When Raine kept telling me that Nicole had stolen Gary from her, I wasn’t bothered because I thought

Harvey would be different. Who would have expected him to directly ask Nicole to be his girlfriend?’

Snow bought into the rumor that Harvey had done it for a game. However, she noticed that his behavior

had become more unusual recently. Apart from that, she was also well aware of Harvey’s increasing

attention on Nicole. She could tell by the look in Harvey’s eyes. Nonetheless, Snow knew it was not her

place to question Harvey because he had never agreed to let her be his girlfriend. All this while, it was

just her alone who had longed to be his girl. Now that I come to think of it, I’m just Harvey’s sidekick, a

position that merely satisfied a part of my vanity. But the fact is, I’ve gotten nothing from it! When Snow

thought of this, the gentleness in her eyes were replaced by resentment. She could not help but asked,

“Harvey, do you really want to choose Nicole? Can’t it be me instead?” She thought, ‘Nicole has only met

Harvey for a few times. Why can she easily get what I’ve been chasing after? And because of her, I was

abandoned like a pawn! ; . Snow had given Harvey implicit and explicit hints about her feelings. But this

was the first

time she had spoken so bluntly. Harvey gave her a glance. “Snow, know your place. Stop being

delusional.” His tone was indifferent. Snow, who was staring at Harvey’s seemingly gentle smile, was

startled by Harvey’s cold words. ‘I am so close to him but why do I feel so far away from him?’ she

thought. Before she could react, Harvey turned and walked in the direction where Jared and Nicole had

gone.

Snow watched him leave. But the hesitation in her eyes disappeared instantly. ‘I will never let go of

Harvey! No matter how distant he is, I will find a way to enter his heart and become someone special to

him!

‘As for Nicole, she already has Jared as her fiancé! There’s no way I will let her steal Harvey from me!’

Snow gritted his teeth at the thought of this and followed.

Harvey’s current mind was full of thoughts about Nicole to the point that he was unaware that Snow was

behind him.

‘Is Jared Johnston really her boyfriend?’ Harvey was thinking that he should back out immediately if

Jared liked Nicole. However, the thought that Jared and Nicole would become a couple made Harvey

clenched his right fist tightly under his suit. Harvey had always been a calm and rational strategist,

otherwise Mr. Ellison would not have chosen him to be the heir among the young generation of the

Ellison family. But now, he was in struggle between his feelings and rational thinking. He did not want to

give up his endeavor, nor did he want to stop pursuing Nicole. Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared said

goodbye downstairs in the dormitory. It was almost ten o’clock, the time her roommate June would go to

bed. Nicole saved the pleasantries. She thanked him and went upstairs directly.

Jared was standing under the street lamp. With his eyelashes drooping, his gaze was fixated at Nicole,

who walked away with no slightest hesitation. At that time, no one knew what was going through his

head. A chuckling voice suddenly came from behind. “Hi Mr. Johnston, we meet again.” Jared didn’t

bother to look back. He knew it was Harvey.” Have you got anything to say?” Jared sounded nonchalant.

Harvey’s eyes gradually became frosty upon seeing Jared’s reaction. “I heard that the Rogers family will

hold a birthday party soon. I wonder if you would attend it?”

Only then did Jared turn around and looked at Harvey with a half-smile. “Whether I attend it or not —

what does it have to do with you?” His voice was cold. Harvey smiled. He did not seem to be bothered by

Jared’s discourteous response. “Because if you are not attending the party, the daughter of the Rogers

family will probably look for you at the Johnston residence.” ,

Jared looked at Harvey. Although his eyes remained indifferent, there was an irrepressible disdain in

them. “It is not your place to ask me questions about my private life.”
