My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 3034

Chapter 3034

Ellar's tired and downcast appearance immediately caught Dexter and Emma's attention, deepening their concern.

"Mom, Dad, why are you just getting back?" Ellar asked with a hint of confusion.

"We were visiting your Uncle Daniel," Dexter responded. He then turned the conversation towards Ellar's late arrival, "Why are you out so late again? What's keeping you?"

Ellar gave a half-hearted response, "Just had to work some overtime."

Dexter frowned, not convinced. "That's not true. You weren't at the office when it closed, and there wasn't any overtime scheduled."

Ellar looked taken aback. "How did you know?" He had left the office early, using overtime as an excuse to avoid questions from his parents, not knowing how else to explain his actions.

Emma gently explained their concern to Ellar, "We've noticed you're not yourself these days, and it's worrying US. That's why your dad went to check at your office. We just want to know if everything's alright." Ellar scrambled for an excuse, "It's just some business dinners."

Dexter let out a sigh, "Look, we understand if there are things you can't share with US. But if you're struggling, maybe talking to Nicole would help. She might be able to assist you."

Emma chimed in with understanding, "We're not trying to pry, but we're genuinely concerned about you."

Ellar felt a pang of guilt, "Mom, Dad, please don't worry about me. I'm really fine, and so is the business. If something comes up that I can't handle, I'll speak to Nicole." "That's reassuring to hear," Emma said. "Maybe you should consider dropping by the headquarters tomorrow." She knew they couldn't push Ellar for more, so she offered a gentle suggestion instead.

Ellar nodded. "Alright, I'll do that."

Dexter and Emma felt somewhat relieved. Knowing that Ellar was open to discussing his issues, even if not with them directly, lifted a weight off their hearts. The idea of him not having to shoulder his troubles alone was comforting.

Although Ellar assured his parents to ease their worries, he knew there wasn't much he could actually discuss or disclose.

Nonetheless, he considered paying a visit to Riddle Corporation, thinking,' Patricia has returned to work. I wonder how she's coping, especially given that her face hasn't completely healed yet.'

The next day, Ellar surprised everyone by not leaving early. After getting dressed, he joined Dexter and Emma for breakfast before heading to work.

Dexter and Emma exchanged a glance.

"Does this mean everything's okay?" Emma asked.

"Don't stress, he's got Nicole. He trusts her the most. Everything will work out," Dexter reassured her.

"True, let's just wait for updates," Emma replied, her eyes wandering to the window.

After Ellar left home and reached Riddle Corporation, he soon stood before the impressive building. As he gazed at it, his eyes showed a touch of mixed feelings.

"Ellar! You're here! Why aren't you heading in?" Lulu's voice came from behind.

"Just got here, was about to head in," Ellar explained, trailing Lulu into the company.

Getting off the elevator, Lulu directed Ellar, "Go wait in Nicole's office.

She'll be here soon." "Alright." Ellar went into Nicole's office and settled on the sofa, anticipating her arrival.

After some time, the door swung open.

"Nicole." Ellar stood upto welcome her, but to his surprise, Patricia walked in.

Patricia seemed a bit confused spotting Ellar. "What brings you here?" Thinking Nicole had arrived due to the sounds, she came to drop off some documents, not expecting to find Ellar instead.
