My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 2889

Chapter 2889

After a series of rapid-fire questions from Ellar, Patricia maintained her glare at him, refusing to answer any of it.

Instead, she countered, "Why are you here? Weren't you at BayCorp?"

"I came over because I was worried about you. I noticed you were missing early in the morning, so I came over to ask Nicole. As it turned out, you were gone before we even knew it," Ellar explained, his head voice still tinged with fear and concern.

A wide-eyed Patricia then turned to Nicole, who nodded and smiled. "Indeed, he was the first to notice your absence. Otherwise, we might not have known as soon as we did."

It was then that an important realization dawned upon her.1 So that was why Ms. Riddle arrived earlier than expected.'

"That's right. Moreover, he was genuinely worried about you. If it weren't for me holding him back, he would have rushed over to where you were. He was super antsy even when he was here too." Lulu looked at Patricia with a meaningful smile etched on her face.

Just like that, Patricia's glare vanished, replaced by an awkward frown which she attempted to conceal by looking away. Ellar, however, remained oblivious as he continued to bombard her with a million questions.

"Ms. Riddle, if there's nothing else here for me to do, I'll

leave now," Patricia excused herself and turned around, feeling that the awkwardness was too much for her to bear.

"Hey, wait up." Ellar immediately chased after her.

With her eyes still trained on the two receding figures, Lulu smiled, turned to Nicole and Jared, and announced, "I'm leaving too."

After Lulu was gone, Nicole issued a sigh of relief and looked up at Jared with a beaming smile.

In turn, he grabbed her hand and said, 'Do take a nap for a while if you're feeling tired."

"I'm fine." Nicole linked arms with Jared and lowered her voice into a whisper. "I just think the Eastern Falcon is enshrouded in a veil of mystery and secrecy. It's been such a long time, but there's still no substantial evidence to prove that they are back in the scene. We've found no core information about them either."

Gently stroking her hair, Jared assured, "Perhaps we'll find the information we've been looking for this time." "Are there any updates?" Nicole asked with her brows raised.

"We're waiting for Max's report." Jared, with his hand still wrapped around hers, led her to the sitting area.

Nodding in understanding, Nicole sighed in relief. "I hope everything goes smoothly."

Max had been away with his team for several days now, and it was about time they got some results. Moreover, Zane had been conducting an investigation of his own for a few weeks, and by now, they should have found some clues.

Straining her eyes, Nicole recalled the conversation she had overheard between Damien and his associate. 'What else are they trying to do, given their capabilities...?'

Meanwhile, the air was nowhere near as calm in Patricia's office.

With a stern look on his face, Ellar warned. "This is the last time! Don't you dare do something as risky as this ever again."

Patricia raised an eyebrow, opting not to give him a direct answer. "This is my business. It's not something you need to concern yourself with."

"But I will be worried about you!" Ellar shouted, his voice breaking in helplessness.

"If you have nothing important to say, you may leave. I still have work to do." Patricia picked a document up, trying to appear indifferent to Ellar.

"Why are you doing this?" Ellar anxiously stepped forward and snatched Patricia's file away.

He then looked at her seriously and declared, "Listen carefully. I won't give up. Ever! Even if your heart is a block of ice, I'll melt it."

No matter how much time it took, no matter how much effort was needed, he would never give up.

Patricia, seemingly unaffected by his outburst of emotion, glanced over at Ellar and said, "You really don't need to do

this. Things will never work out between the two of us."

"Why not? As long as I like you, and you like me, everything is possible!" Ellar insisted.

"But I don't like you," Patricia replied through gritted teeth.

Ellar was momentarily stunned but less than a second later, he shook his head. "I don't believe it for a second. I know you care about me."

Though her words were cold and mean, her actions, as subtle as they were, indicated otherwise. He knew Patricia had rejected him for a myriad of other reasons, and that was why he was determined to wait it out. What he would never do, however, was give up.
