My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 284

Chapter 284

Nicole trudged toward the learning and teaching building. It was still early, so she was not in a rush.

When she arrived, she saw someone who was not supposed to be there.

"What're you doing here?" Zeke had been waiting for her downstairs for a long time. His eyes were filled with resentment when he saw her approaching him. "Didn't you tell me to wait for you at Royal Creek Institute every day at 4am once you get back?

His words reminded Nicole of her promise to Zeke previously. She had promised to help him improve his physique, but it slipped her mind because Mr. Riddle Sr. had been sick for the past few days. Nicole had an apologetic look in her eyes when she thought of this. "I'm sorry. Something came up recently." Zeke knew she was not the type to stand someone up for no reason, so he did not pursue the matter after hearing her response. He stared at Nicole's sincere expression and pouted, "I figured something must've come up for you. Whatever. I forgive you."

Nicole watched as Zeke pretended to act mature with his baby face. She thought he looked funny, but she did not say it aloud. She then said indifferently, "We still have time today. Let's

go."

Zeke's eyes lit up. He knew what she was implying.

"Where to?"

Nicole had already walked away without even sparing him a single glance. She answered flatly, "The sports field." 'What?' he thought.

Zeke hurriedly caught up with her. He followed behind Nicole and kept on asking questions like an inquisitive child, "Why are we going to the sports field? Aren't you going to teach me martial arts? Don't they say in novels that martial arts must be taught in some sort of hidden realm? How could we go to the sports field where people come and go?" Nicole glanced at Zeke and thought to herself. 'Like Lulu, he's probably watched too many martial arts movies.'

Zeke noticed Nicole ignoring him but did not mind. He continued talking Nicole's ear off while they walked to the sports field. When they arrived at their destination, Zeke finally realized that something was off. 'Nicole is being so patient with me today. She didn't ask me to shut up!' he thought.

Nicole seemed to have noticed his terrified expression. She reached out to pat Zeke on the

shoulder and spoke in her usual tone, "You see this track over here?" Zeke followed Nicole's gaze. She chose the outermost track, which was almost 10 meters longer compared to the innermost track. His brows immediately furrowed downwards, "Nicole, you aren't..." Nicole nodded happily. She then looked at Zeke and smiled slightly. Zeke instantly paled at the sight of Nicole's smile. He was on the brink of tears, "Aren't we learning martial arts? Why do I have to run?" Nicole's expression remained unchanged. Zeke kept on backing away, so she kicked him on his butt, thrusting him right onto the running tracks. "Today's your first day, so you'll only be running ten laps." 'Ten laps! ONLY run ten laps?' he thought.

Zeke felt completely helpless. He turned to look at Nicole, silently questioning her if it was too late for him to quit. However, Nicole looked at him with a smile that did not reach her eyes. That look... With a dejected expression, Zeke turned around and started running again.

'That is the look of her telling me to dream on!' he thought.

Nicole stood at Zeke's starting point with an unreadable expression. She only started frowning when she saw Zeke panting on the second half of his lap.
