My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2892

"Take care of everyone and make sure they're safe." Jared sped off, leaving the words hanging in the air.

Lulu bit her lip as she looked out the window with worry written all over her face. She had to force herself to calm down, as acting out in a panic would do her no good.

She figured that Jared had ordered her to stay behind because there was nothing she could do to help, and since that was the case, she decided that it would be in everyone's best interest for her to stay put and ensure that the rest of the family were safe. In all likelihood, there was grave danger involved, or else Jared would not have dashed off while telling her to take care of everyone without further elaboration. "Lulu? Do you know what's going on?" Gloria asked, her forehead creased in concern.

The sudden escalation had made everyone realize that something was amiss, giving them an oppressive and lingering feeling of anxiety.

"Oh, since the package was delivered by an unknown sender, Nicole was worried that there might be something harmful in there. Look, I don't know what's going on, so let's ask her when she comes back." Lulu replied in an attempt to calm everyone, as she had no idea what just happened.

"Why would someone send something harmful to our home?

" June asked, sensing that something was wrong.

In response, Lulu shot June a look of disapproval and shook her head. 'Now is not the time to show everyone how smart you are.'

Noticing how grim Lulu's expression was, June finally realized her mistake. "I mean, why do you think it's something that'll hurt us?"

"I'm just saying. It could also be a surprise gift from someone," Lulu hypothesized, praying that they were overthinking it.

Above anything, she hoped that Nicole would walk out of this unscathed.

Meanwhile, Nicole was still sprinting away from the courtyard with the package in hand.

"Where are you going?" Jared asked, catching up to her.

"Let's find a large, open space. I don't know how powerful this thing is." Nicole swept her glance across the area, hoping to find an open field about at least an acre wide. Jared narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"

Powerful, open space, so this box has a...'

"It could be a homemade bomb," Nicole replied as she locked her eyes on a patch of empty grassland about a hundred yards down the road.

If the blast radius of this object was just as what she had estimated, it would not reach the Riddle residence or any of the neighboring houses.

Jared nodded, knowing what was going on at an instant. Then, he snatched the package from her and hurried off to the field, panting and huffing. "Hey..." she stared at her empty hands and ran after him.

"Don't come over!" Jared flashed his palm at Nicole, not wanting her to follow him.

However, Nicole was adamant on not letting him run off on his own, so she hurried after him, "Let me see the thing first."

When they finally reached the center of the field, Jared laid the package down and looked at Nicole. "I'll handle it. Go over there and wait for me."

"Let's do it together." She grabbed his hand, intent on staying with him.

At this juncture, nobody would leave.

Jared issued a sigh of defeat and looked at her. "If it's a dangerous object, please remember to get out of here right away."

"Maybe there won't be any danger," Nicole said, reaching out to open the package.

As they unwrapped the package, the ticking became even louder and more pronounced, causing her eyes to widen. She had every reason to believe that there was something wrong with the package, chief among them the ticking, which would never be heard in a regular gift.

And after opening the package and getting a peek of its contents, her suspicions were confirmed. It was indeed a homemade bomb.

"We don't have much time left." Nicole narrowed her eyes as she watched the countdown.

They had less than three minutes to defuse it.

"Are you going to dismantle it?" Jared asked.

Nodding, Nicole bit her lip. "I'd certainly like to try. If I can dismantle it silently, it will spare everyone from worrying."
