My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 41

"Could she be a heroine from a hidden world like in those action movies?"

"Nicole is so much more skillful than those heroines."

Once the conversation was heated, their voice became louder and louder that others in the class were looking at them.

Nicole frowned a little. "Fighting isn’t something to be proud of. Let’s keep it low."

Bradley and Lulu realized that they were a little too loud. Just as Nicole said, fighting was not a thing to be proud of. If a teacher overheard it, they would be in trouble.

The both of them nodded and pretended to zip their mouths, signaling that they would not talk about it anymore.

When Nicole saw that the two were so sensible, her expression relaxed a little. Just as she was about to speak, a loud voice came from outside. Then, Austin suddenly stormed into the class.

The whole class was terrified of his ferocious look.

Once Austin saw Nicole, he walked over while yelling.

"Boss! I heard that the hooligans from next door, Cain disturbed you yesterday after school. Why didn't you tell us? We could’ve settled him for you!"

All the students surrounding them heard Austin wanted to beat up Cain for Nicole. Their eyes widened as they stared at both of them in disbelief.

They did not expect Austin to be serious about recognizing Nicole as his boss. Someone had disturbed Nicole, and he actually wanted to do something about it.

Everyone thought Nicole would agree since no one would deny Austin's request.

Unexpectedly, Nicole replied coldly, "It's fine. I can settle this on my own.”

Austin nodded in satisfaction and led his lackeys out of the class aggressively.

The others let out a sigh of relief as soon as Austin left.

However, Nicole did not bother to care about Austin. Her head was looking down while reading the book she had not finished the day before.

She did not notice Gary was staring at her the whole time.

The bell rang, and Ms. Emerson entered the class. She looked through the whole class to see if anyone was absent. Then, she nodded happily and started the class.Ten minutes before recess, she glanced at her watch and tapped the podium.

"There's going to be a Maths Olympiad soon. This time around, the district highly regards this competition. The principal made it an obligation for each class to send two representatives. Gary is one of them. There's one slot left. Any takers?"

Gary leaned back on his chair lazily. Although he hated studying, he was famous for being a maths genius. He had been winning competitions both nationally and internationally since he was young.
