My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 3035

"I just wanted to check on Nicole," Ellar explained, trying to appear composed.

Internally, his world wasn't calm at all. Observing Patricia from a distance in the past few days brought him comfort, and seeing her well added to that. Now, being so close and talking to her, he couldn't contain his emotions.

"Ms. Riddle should be here soon," Patricia said, quickly regaining her composure.

After putting the papers on the desk, she turned and walked away. Ellar's sudden appearance had surprised her, stirring up different feelings. Right now, all she wanted was to get away.

Coincidentally, Nicole arrived and encountered Patricia at the door.

"The documents are on the desk, Ms. Riddle. I'll handle other matters," Patricia reported.

"Sure." Nicole noticed Patricia leaving in a bit of a hurry but didn't pay it much mind and walked into the room.

As soon as Nicole saw Ellar, a realization struck her. 'Oh, it's because he's here." "What brings you here?" Nicole asked Ellar.

"Good morning, Nicole." Ellar immediately stood up and approached her.

"Hey, spill it." Nicole calmly looked at him.

"Don't you know why they're worried?" Nicole asked with a meaningful tone.

Trying to downplay it, Ellar responded, "Not much, just been busy with work lately." "Busy?" Nicole asked again, her tone carrying more weight.

Startled, Ellar hesitated. "Nicole, do you already know everything?"

He figured Nicole was already aware; otherwise, she wouldn't be asking in this way.

With a glance, Nicole remarked, "To keep something unknown, best not to do it at all."

Ellar understood what Nicole was implying. His voice softened. "I'm just concerned about Patricia." "If you're worried about her, why hesitate to see her?" Nicole questioned, a bemused expression on her face. Ellar lowered his head. "I don't want to complicate things for her or bring trouble. I just want to be sure she's happy."

After all, Ellar had presumed Charlie was Patricia's boyfriend, and he restrained himself from getting too close, fearing it might cause her distress.

Nicole arched an eyebrow slightly. "If that's truly how you feel, shouldn't you concentrate on rebuilding your own life? Rather than investing all your free time and energy in Patricia?"

Eliar's face paled slightly, but he offered no response to Nicole's words.

He understood Nicole was right, yet the longing to know how Patricia was doing lingered. Even if he could only watch her from a distance and make sure she was happy, it felt like enough.

Despite returning home with a bitter mood each time, a peculiar sense of happiness persisted within him.

Ellar feared his future life would be grim if he stop watching Patricia.

"Ah." Nicole gently patted Ellar's shoulder, understanding his thoughts. She felt a twinge of sympathy for this straightforward guy.

Nicole pondered, 'How did he assume that Charlie and Patricia were a couple? Just because they're a bit closer doesn't necessarily mean they're a couple.' "For now, I can't stop watching her. But in the future, when she gets married, I'll hold back," Ellar decided after considerable thought.

Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly, sensing movement outside the door.

"Come in," Nicole beckoned, but there was no immediate response. After a while, the secretary entered, saying, "Ms. Riddle, I brought some water."
