My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1220

Alright, when the time comes, this old lady will be your witness." Mrs. Wallace Sr. could tell that Nicole's eyes were brimming with tears, and that made her feel a little uncomfortable.

As Jared watched them embrace one another, he felt both a mix of happiness and sadness. 'Grandma is indeed getting old.'

"Now, go upstairs and get some rest." Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole affectionately.

"Okay, I'll accompany you back to your room first," Nicole said as she helped Mrs. Wallace Sr. up.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Jared who was sitting on the couch at the side and said, "Jared, it's already late. If you don't have other important things to take care of, you can stay here for the night."

"Oh, alright," he uttered.

Initially, Jared was planning to head back home in a while, and as such, it surprised him when Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked him to stay.

"I'm off to bed now," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said, after which she made her way to her room with Nicole's help.

After Nicole had brought Mrs. Wallace Sr. back to her room, she came back to the living room to find Jared waiting for her on the couch.

"What are you still doing here?" Nicole looked at Jared with her brows furrowed.

'Didn't he say that he'll just be sending me home? In that case, he should be heading back to his home now, not sitting down here.'

"Didn't you hear what grandma had just said?" Jared proudly said and looked at Nicole.

Now that he had the support of Mrs. Wallace Sr., no one could chase him out of the house, as long as he wished to stay.

"You actually took her words seriously?" Nicole laughed and looked at him in disbelief.

Jared did not respond to her question and continued making his way up. Unable to sit still anymore, Nicole quickly got up and walked to her room.

By the time she had reached the upper floor, Jared was taking his shirt off, and just as Nicole entered the room, she saw his shirtless figure and asked, "Why didn't you close the door if you're going to change?"

"I did close it. You're the one who pushed it open and came in, alright?" Jared casually placed his jacket on the chair.

Nicole rolled her eyes and walked in. Then, she stared at him and said, "This is my room. The guest room is situated directly across."

Jared shot her a frown. He moved forward, approaching Nicole, and pinned her to the wall. "Are you expecting me to stay in the guest room?"

"Yeah, you're our guest. If you're not going to sleep in that room, don't even think of spending the night in this one." She stared right into his eyes as she made the remark, unfazed by what he was doing.

"You know, I wonder, who was the one talking about our marriage with grandma back in the living room? And yet here you are, referring to me as a guest. Were you just trying to put on a show in front of grandma?" Jared looked into her eyes and questioned.
