My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2648

Nolan's remark left Lana feeling even more puzzled. "How am I stupid?"

"Next time, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Nolan, looking like a little adult, reprimanded Lana. "Come on."

After that, Nolan pulled Lana along and walked off.

However, Lana was still grumbling, "What did I say wrong?"

Nicole pursed her lips as she watched her kids, and she then proceeded to warn Jared through gritted teeth, "You're not allowed to kiss me out of the blue anymore, especially when Nolan and Lana might see us."

After a moment of thought, Jared said, "As a matter of fact, I actually think it's because we are not intimate enough. That's why you're always so shy. So, from now on, I'll kiss you once every day, and you'll gradually stop blushing."

"Why, you..." Nicole glared at Jared. 'So it's my fault now?'

Gnashing her teeth, Nicole sighed. "You wish."

After saying that, Nicole left Jared to stand there on his own and went downstairs for breakfast.

Jared chuckled softly, after which he gave her a loving look and followed her from behind.

After breakfast, everyone went their separate ways and got busy.

Nicole was scheduled to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the joint electronic component factory with Harvey today. So, she had deliberately dressed herself in a business suit, which made her look mature and professional.

When she arrived at the venue with Patricia, they noticed that a swarm of journalists had already arrived.

"Ms. Riddle, this is quite a scene," Patricia said sarcastically.

It seemed to her that Harvey had invited quite the crowd, probably wanting to make the entirety of San Joto aware of the ribbon-cutting event.

"Well, he did put in a lot of effort, so it's only necessary to show everyone," Nicole said nonchalantly, glancing off at Harvey who was greeting guests.

Nicole looked at these people indifferently, merely nodding politely whilst not giving them a direct response.

She was well aware that the people Harvey had invited were folks who had a history of working with the Ellison family. Those attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony today were all there at Harvey's behest. As such, there was little reason as to why they could genuinely desire to collaborate with her.

However, it was also an opportunity that she could seize and exploit. Otherwise, it would be a waste of Harvey's goodwill.

With that in mind, Nicole held off on giving them any direct answers. She merely showed them a hint of interest, but not too much to lead them into believing she wanted anything to do with them right off the bat. She even went as far as to let them in on her thoughts.

"Ms. Riddle? Please, the stage is yours." Harvey stepped in when he saw that everyone had started to shower Nicole with compliments.

"Okay." Nicole smiled faintly and followed Harvey onto the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day when the joint venture electronic components factory of the Riddle Corporation and Ellison Group, the Ellison-Riddle Electronics Factory, is officially established. With that said, our CEO, Mr. Ellison, and Ms. Riddle cordially invite all of you to witness this auspicious occasion," the host announced passionately, prompting a gale of applause, cheers, and camera flashes.
