My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 123

Chapter 123

When Jared's ride had arrived, he retracted his eyes from Harvey's face.

His expression remained indifferent as he opened the car door, got in, and left the scene.

Harvey, who was still on the spot, covered his face while laughing.

'Ithought I could at least provoke him and make him say something nasty.

But sure enough, Jared Johnston is someone who will never allow himself to be manipulated."

The next day, Nicole got up early for her morning routine.

After a morning jog, she carried several weapons and went to the back mountain for training as usual. However, someone was already sitting there in the place she frequented.

It was Harvey.

Propping his head up on his elbow, he was taking a nap before an open book.

Nicole didn't startle Harvey.

Instead, she turned and left without a second thought.

When she was leaving, Harvey's closed eyes suddenly opened.

He looked at Nicole's back, and the glimmer in his eyes flickered.

'Another terrible morning for me,' thought Harvey who let out a gentle smile.

After putting her stuffs in the dormitory, Nicole went to her classroom directly.

she was thinking about changing her training place.

Her fingers were tapping on her desk lightly while she was thinking about changing her training place.

Nicole gently propped her head, looking out the window with her absentminded eyes.

Gary, who was sitting behind her, frowned as he saw her idled away time despite the fact that the Math Olympiad competition was approaching.

When he looked at the exercises in front of him, he felt a slight irritability in his heart.

Nicole remained nonchalant even though there were only two weeks left.

It was unacceptable to him.

Although he had convinced himself to help her win the bet, he could not help to feel disappointed at her attitude.

Jack noticed the look in Gary's eyes.

He followed Gary's gaze and found that Gary was looking at Nicole again.

He frowned, 'It feels like he has been paying too much attention to Nicole lately.'

But ever since Gary taught him a lesson last time, he did not dare to pry into Gary's mind.

Jack rubbed his nose and decided to let them be.

When he stopped thinking about it, he lay on the table, wanting to take a nap for a while. "Gary, wake me up when the teacher arrives," said Jack.

They had always watch out for each other.

But Gary had been focused on his studies recently, so Jack had nothing to do for a while. Unexpectedly, Gary did not respond as usual.

He looked at Nicole, who was idled away, then retracted his eyes to Jack.

"No nap for you.

Get up and study!" Gary snarled.

Jack looked at him dumbfounded.

He did not expect Gary to say that.

But Gary did not seem like joking, so he asked cautiously, "Gary, are you serious?"

The moment Gary shot him a glare, Jack quickly sat up straight, took out a book, and started to read it.

'Gary's temper has been a little strange recently.' Jack peeked at Gary and saw that Gary still immersed himself in solving the math problems.

Jack poked Wayne and asked, "Don't you think Gary has been acting weird lately?"

Wayne, who was playing game, was caught off guard by Jack's words.

He put away the game console and said, "You noticed it too?" When he saw Jack nodding, his expression turned serious as he said, "Actually, I have long suspected that Gary is in his menopause!" He thought 'Otherwise, there is no way to explain his moodiness during this time.',

"Pfft." Bradley sitting in the front row could not help laughing.

Nicole also glanced at Wayne with an inscrutable look in her eyes.

Wayne forgot what he had wanted to say, staring blankly ahead.

After all, it was rare to see Nicole held no hostility towards him in her gaze.

Jack, on the other hand, looked at the stupefied Wayne in puzzlement.

Just when Jack was about to say something, the clicking sound of high heels came from the door.

The owner of the heels was either furious or she was of great weight.

Several students could tell that it was certainly not Ms.

Emerson.

Sure enough, a middle-aged woman dressed in black like a nun came in view the next second after the door of Class B was pushed open vigorously.

She was of medium build, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looked very stern.

Behind the woman was Jessy, who looked docile.

After taking a glance around the classroom, the woman asked in a cold voice, "Whose name is Nicole in this class?"

As soon as everyone heard her, their eyes focused on Nicole, Many of them filled with glee for none other reason than that woman was their high school department head - Ms. Thompson, the old witch!

'All student she comes for won't be spared.

Nicole has been so arrogant since no one in the school can do anything to her.

Someone should teach her a lesson!' everyone thought.

Ms.

Thompson followed their eyes and saw a good-looking girl staring at her with her arms folded.

There was no trace of panic in her eyes.

Ms.

Thompson gave her a cold stare for a while and said, "You are Nicole?"

Nicole looked at Ms.

Thompson and remained silent.

Ms.

Thompson took Nicole's silence as "yes." She sneered at Nicole, "I heard you had refused to apologize after beating Jessy from Class A, and you ignored mr. Kennedy who came to mediate between you two.

Did that happen?"

"As expected,' Nicole thought with a poker face.

These people just won't let me have a peaceful day in class.'

On the other hand, Lulu retorted, "Jessy was the one who came to provoke Nicole first, so Nicole just taught her a lesson.

Yesterday, mr. Kennedy indiscriminately blamed Nicole, asking her to apologize.

Since Nicole did nothing wrong, of course she would not apologize to Jessy!"

Ms.

Thompson looked at Lulu coldly and suddenly shouted, "Shut up! You don't have the right to speak here! Nicole, your behavior is unruly, and you assaulted Jessy willfully.

I think it's necessary to report your behavior to the school so you will be handed a heavy penalty, otherwise you will continue to be insolent and become a scourge in society!"
