My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1549

Chapter 1549

Zeke was already there waiting for her. Once he saw Nicole coming down from the elevator, he immediately got up from the sofa and welcomed her.

Sighting that Zeke had a look of joy on his face, Nicole asked, "Is your dad awake?”

’Yes!" Zeke nodded vigorously. "It was my dad who wanted me to text you. He wanted to thank you personally."

If it were not for that, Zeke would have really forgotten to contact Nicole during his time back here. Every day, for the past week, he was hoping that his father would wake up soon.

"I see," she said.

If Nicole had known earlier that Zeke had purposely called her over just so that his dad could thank her, she would not have come over.

But as she was there already, she could not just leave like that. She had no choice but to follow Zeke into the room.

As Zeke opened the door, Nicole saw Karlo leaning on the headboard in that wide bedroom. It seemed to Nicole that Karlo had indeed been waiting for her. On the other end, Mr. Guzman Sr. was sitting there with a cane in hand while waiting for Nicole.

When Zeke entered, he introduced them to each other, "Grandpa, this is Nicole Riddle. Dad, you've met her before."

Karlo nodded and smiled at Nicole, "It has been a while, Miss Riddle."

The last time they met, he could already tell that she was not an average Jane.

Previously, Mr. Johnston Sr. had invited Karlo over to the Rogers family where they were on a mission to rescue the Riddles. Although he had not seen Nicole there, he knew that Nicole and Mr. Johnston Sr. had a conflict. It was only when Nicole and Jared were engaged that he found out that they were a couple. Such was why Mr. Johnston Sr. had no interest in Zeke.

What he did not know was that, Nicole was the one who had rescued them. It was Nicole who had saved Karlo and his son, Zeke, back at Lanningbourg. In fact, she was the one who had performed the surgery on him.

'Who on earth is this lady, Nicole Riddle?' he thought.

He heard from two of his servants that the person who had taken Karlo and Zeke away was someone from the Turmann family. They even went to the Curley Corporation's base of productions. If the word was to spread, all of these big names would intimidate and deter anyone who would seek to harm them.

However, Nicole was able to walk among them. Therefore, Karlo had not dared to underestimate Nicole. Instead, he had caller her over in an effort to thank her in person.

Seeing him in his ripe, old age, Nicole became a lot more serious. "Sir, please go ahead."

Mr. Guzman Sr. slowly got up, approached Nicole, and said, "Outside my manor, there are quite a few people who are not from the military. It seems to me that they are protecting me secretly. Was it you who sent them?"

Upon hearing those words, Karlo and Zeke fell silent. Although Zeke was privy to what was going on, Karlo did not.

At the same time, he would also like to clarify why there were so many people out there who were trying to protect them.

Facing the old man's question, Nicole chose not to lie.

Instead, she calmly replied, "Yes."

Mr. Guzman Sr.'s pupil narrowed.

For an eighteen-year-old girl to send an entire battalion's worth of men was really shocking. However, as she was the one who had done so, it was easier for them to understand why that was.
