My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 49

Carl knew that Nicole must've been lonely these days. She must've missed him a lot.

"I know... That's why I fought to stay alive. The thing I'm most afraid of is you being sad."

His voice was filled with adoration and longing.

After the near-death experience this time, Carl finally understood how important Nicole was to him.

Nicole's nose started to burn, and she took some time to calm herself time.

"Now that you're fine, I don't have to worry anymore. Zane will arrange for us to meet when we are safe. There are people after me now, so I can't really contact you all the time."

Carl sulked for a second as Nicole did not respond to him, but he knew that Nicole was naive. She did not know that his feelings were different from before. He thought about this and lifted his spirits as he said. "I know I shouldn't call you now as I will endanger you. But I..." He really missed her; he missed her so bad it hurts.

So did Nicole. She had been longing to hear Carl's voice.

"It's alright. I'll meet you the first thing when everything is stable." Nicole's voice made Carl fall silent. He knew that Nicole would not simply make promises. Once she did, she would always keep her words. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The both of them knew that their call could not be too long, so they just reminded each other to take care before hanging up. Nicole felt extremely relieved when she laid back on her bed. She was always worried about the outcome of this issue, so she could finally have a night of good sleep now.

The next morning, Nicole came back from her morning exercises and went to class with Lulu.

When they walked back to class, she realized that the hardworking students were all whispering among themselves. "Did you hear? Harvey, the hottest boy in school, finally completed the two-weeks long international Physics Olympiad Competition. He's coming back after a few days!"

"Are you for real?! No wonder I haven't seen him these days. It's just because he joined that famous Physics Olympiad Competition." "Harvey is coming back. My dry school life is coming to an end!" These students were all discussing excitedly, but when they saw Nicole coming in, they strangely went silent.

Nicole just ignored them and walked past them before sitting down at her table, and that was when the noises started to rise again. "Harvey is coming back. If he sees Nicole bullying Snow like this, he will definitely make her

pay!"

"Yeah! Everyone knows that Harvey takes care of Nicole, and she still dares to bully Snow. She's just asking for it at this point." Everyone looked at Nicole excitedly, like they were gloating over Nicole getting in trouble. Nicole had been acting so arrogant these days, enjoying the limelight as much as she can. It was about time she learned her lesson!

Who was Harvey? He was Mr. Ellison's grandson, the notable heir of the Ellison family. He was the real wealthy prince!

The Finley family is the only family in school that was somewhat in the same league as the Ellison family, the rest of them would never mess with the Ellison family.

Nicole did not even bother to listen to what they were saying, but she just felt that Harvey was a very familiar name. It sounded like the name of the grandson that Mr. Ellison mentioned.

Mr. Ellison even wanted to introduce Harvey to Nicole, but she rejected him straight.

However, Harvey was on the same side as Snow.

Bradley heard what they were talking about in the front row, and he could not help but turn back to look at Nicole worriedly. Everyone in Royal Creek Institute knew that Harvey and Snow were a couple. Though the both of them did not go public with their relationship, Harvey only allowed Snow to be next to him, and it was the best proof of their relationship. "Nicole, everyone is spreading that you're bullying Snow on the school forum. When Harvey comes back and knows about this, he will never tolerate it. Why don't you take a break from school and hide for a while? You can come back when the school forum is less heated,"

Nicole knew that Bradley was genuinely worried about her, but it was unnecessary.

Harvey did not deserve her taking a break from school.

Nicole shot Bradley a calm gaze and pulled out an Esperian book to read. Sitting behind Nicole was Jack. He noticed Nicole was reading a different book than the books she used to read, so he turned around and said to Gary, "Gary, Nicole is being pretentious again. How could a country bumpkin understand Esperian?" Gary was initially leaning his back against the chair lazily, staring at Nicole, who was the topic of everyone's conversation. He furrowed his brows when he heard Jack's remark, but he did not say anything. His vision was good, so he could immediately see the anatomy chart that was marked with Esperian words on the cover page. It was a medical book. People should know that medical books in a foreign language were basically gibberish.

Even Gary needed to use a lot of effort to read it, so he naturally assumed that it was impossible for Nicole to understand that book

However, he thought about how Nicole said that the Maths Olympiad questions were too easy with a straight face, and he changed his mind.

Could Nicole really understand that book?

At that moment, a loud cheer exploded outside the door. It did not take long before a girl with a seductive face walked in, followed by five or six girls, who were all fairly pretty. But their outrageous pura overpowered their appearance, making them look despicable.

The first seductive girl swept her eyes across the class and knocked on the podium, asking," Which one of you is Nicole?"

The whole class immediately looked at Nicole.
