Chapter 377 No Courage
With Nicole speaking so confidently, Whitney relaxed considerably as she lowered her gaze and nodded.
“Okay. In that case, you can leave first, Miss Nicole.”
Whitney waited until Nicole left before fishing out her phone and staring at it for a long while.
After some time, she shakily tapped out a string of numbers. Even though the number wasn’t saved on her phone, she had memorized it skilfully.
Whitney stared intently at the string of numbers, lacking the courage to tap on the dial button.
She looked at it for a long while before giving up in the end. Nicole said she had a plan, so she must have meant it. There was no need for Whitney to be worried.
The woman gripped her phone tightly. She was still cowardly as she retreated, for she couldn’t work up the courage to talk to that person.
She had betrayed him, so how could she talk to him like nothing had ever happened?
Whitney felt that she was selfish as she stared at the string of numbers. It had been three years. Would he forgive her?
After thinking for a while, Whitney finally gathered her thoughts. She shook her head and decided not to think about those things anymore.
She would cross the bridge when she got there. If Nicole couldn’t handle it on her own, Whitney would go to him.
…
When Nicole arrived home, Hayden was still surfing the net. She was on the brink of suspecting that her own son had gotten addicted to the internet, for she always came home to him at the computer.
Nicole felt warmth in her heart upon hearing her son say such considerate words. She reached out and supported her son’s hips, then she remembered the computer screen she saw when she came in. She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What were you doing just now, Hayden?”
Hayden’s body froze in an obvious manner. He thought for a long while before saying, “Miss Whitney taught me that. I tried it a bit just now, but it’s not much fun.”
Nicole understood now; it turned out that Whitney had taught him that. She was quite skilled at hacking, and when Nicole wasn’t around, she would let Whitney babysit Hayden.
Perhaps he picked it up after all the time he spent with Whitney.
Nicole didn’t doubt it at all. “Let’s not fiddle with such complex things next time, or you’ll get a headache in addition to your confusion.”
Hayden didn’t protest, nor did he confess that these things were actually simple for him. He simply leaned quietly in Nicole’s embrace and nodded.
