My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 73

Five minutes had passed in the blink of an eye, and the look on Jared’s face got worse. When she Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

came to the café last time, she had also ignored him. Now, she was actually ignoring him for some

math questions? This was a feeling that Jared was experiencing for the first time in his life. At that

moment, the food he ordered for Nicole was served, and that was when Nicole finally put down her

book as she got ready to eat.

Then she noticed Jared was not looking too good. “What’s up with you?” Nicole wondered why Jared

who looked fine back then became so upset now. “I’m still waiting for your opinion,” said Jared. In his

mind, he muttered, ‘I don’t mind that you ignored me, but did you actually forget what I’m waiting for?’

“Haven’t I told you already? It was the best coffee I’ve had.” She looked serious.

Jared frowned. “That’s all?”

Last time, she would guess the type of coffee or the way the coffee was processed after she tasted the

coffee. But now she did not even bother to elaborate her comment when it came to him.

“What else?” She had an innocent look on her face.

Jared was immediately at a loss for words. “Okay, nice.” He was completely defeated at that moment,

so he just lowered his head and got ready to eat with her as he picked up his fork.

However, Nicole suddenly furrowed her brows. “What are you doing?”

Jared paused whatever he was doing. “Eat.” He thought, ‘Do I have to inform you about this too?’

“Why are you eating with me?” Nicole’s brows knitted further. Jared and Nicole had only met a few

times, so they were not close at all. She wondered why did he have to have meal with her.

Jared was so exasperated that he almost burst out laughing when Nicole rejected him with her distant

expression. Countless women in local and abroad were heartlessly rejected by him when they asked

him out for dinner. But now that he took the initiative to dine in with Nicole, yet she gave her a disdainful

look.

“I was the one who ordered these for you, yet I couldn’t eat them?” Jared fought back his anger to keep

himself rational. But Nicole responded, “Though you’re the one who ordered it, I’m the one who’s going

to pay, and I am not planning to treat anyone.”

She had never dined in a stranger before.

“You…” Jared was completely baffled, and he could not help but clap his hands. “Okay… Very

well, Miss Riddle. You are a very interesting person. I’ll get the bill this time, alright?” But Nicole arched

her brows. “It’s okay. I don’t want to be indebted to you, so let’s have own meals.” She then looked

down and started eating, not forgetting to pull her salad bowl closer to her. It was obvious that she

wanted to draw a clear line between the both of them.

It was the first time Jared was embarrassed like that, and some people were starting to look over at

them. He had no choice but to say through gritted teeth, “Is this how you treat your fiancé?”

“Ptui!” Nicole had almost spat out her coffee as she immediately took some tissue paper to wipe her

mouth.

She then shot him a glare. “Stop joking around, okay? We’ve already settled on breaking off the

engagement.”

The moment when Jared saw her disdainful expression, he started to regret… “Do you want to break it

off so badly?” He wondered, ‘Do you really not miss me, your charming fiancé, the heir to the Johnston

Group, one bit?’ “Yeah. Isn’t it the same for you?” After all, he was the one who had personally visited

her house for it. Her question immediately made Jared choke.
