My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 224

But Nicole did not plan to fight back.

Instead, she flipped backward, her legs running into Karlo's left kick.

Leveraging on the force of the collision, Nicole bounced almost ten feet back and away.

The earlier two men watched in amazement.

Nicole did not only dodge beautifully but also forced Karlo three steps back.

Karlo had a wary look in his eyes.

Nicole's feet had just lightly touched his, yet her muscle reflex could produce such a high level of force.

He could not imagine the consequence if she really wanted to harm him.

Karlo stopped attacking momentarily.

He was not a miscreant who would take a mile when others gave an inch.

Nicole never actively attacked him; she was defensive.

Besides, he knew very well that all his earlier moves had failed.

He had used all his strength, but he had not even touched the corner of Nicole's clothes.

This clearly told him something.

Karlo looked at Nicole with deep appreciation in his eyes.

"Are you interested in joining my special forces?"

Everyone looked at Karlo with disbelief in their eyes as soon as Karlo gave his powerful invitation.

Jared was the only one who was unperturbed.

He squinted thoughtfully, as just now, he had seen something from Nicole's moves, which were simple and seemingly used to hide her strength. Yet her attacks and defense were neat.

Jared felt she was hiding something.

Meanwhile, Karlo looked at Nicole with an expectant look in his eyes.

'Special forces?' Nicole's gaze was devoid of emotion, and she looked at Karlo and said, "I'm sorry."

'She rejected the commander's invitation!' The earlier two men looked at Nicole, not believing that someone would reject their commander. One of them was exasperated.

"Hey, girl, you should be grateful for the offer.

He is the chief commander of our First Army of Hustuaburg."

The other chimed in and said, "Exactly.

Do you know what his invitation means?"

It meant that a bright future was awaiting her in the military.

Nicole understood the two men's overtones.

But she would not change her decision but just looked at Karlo and said, "Be nice to Zeke." She then gave way and returned to Jared's side, Jared smiled at her and asked, "How is it?"

Nicole looked at him and nodded slightly.

"Not bad."

The captain was taking all that in and was surprised by Nicole's ability.

He at first thought that Nicole was just another woman with good looks, not expecting that she was so badass.

He

would have been even more surprised if he knew that Nicole's evaluation of Karlo was "not bad."

Karlo stepped forward with a smile, patted Zeke on the shoulder, and said to him with a pleasant face, "Come with me.

Your mother misses you."

Zeke pulled a face.

"Aren't you two already divorced? How do you know my mom misses me?"

There was a fleeting sense of awkwardness on Karlo's face, but thinking of Nicole's request, he resisted the urge to wallop his son and acted as kindly as possible. "That was just said during a time of anger.

We aren't divorced.

Why would we want a divorce?"

Pleased, Zeke climbed into the car and looked at Karlo, who was trying hard not to whack Zeke and said triumphantly, "I already knew that you wouldn't divorce my mother. If you dare, grandpa will break your leg."
