Chapter 377 No Courage
With Nicole speaking so confidently, Whitney rxed 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,cking 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 n, 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. She was on the brink of suspecting that
her own son had gotten addicted to the inte, for she always came home to him at theputer.
Nicole silently walked closer and realized that there was a huge string of code on Hayden’sputer
screen, and she couldn’t understand them at all.
She frowned slightly and asked in a small voice, “Hayden, what are you working on?”
Hayden was so absorbed in his data that he didn’t notice Nicoleing up to him from the back.
Startled, he turned around to see that his mother was home. He quickly tapped twice on his keyboard,
switching out the screen.
He switched back to his innocent face as he said to Nicole, “It’s nothing. Why are you home so early
today, Mom?”
Seeing that Hayden was trying to change the subject, Nicole couldn’t help but smile. She sat on the
couch and took theptop from his hands, then pulled him into her arms as she said smilingly, “I got
fired, so I have all the time in the world to apany you at home.”
pursed his lips and asked in a puzzled tone, “Mom, you’re excellent at work. Have they gone blind? Is
that why they fired you?”
Seeing how defensive her child was of her, Nicole couldn’t help but feel happy as she reached out and
caressed his head. “It’s good timing. I’ve been busy ever since I came back, and I don’t even have time
for you anymore. I’ll treat it as a holiday. Are there any ces you want to go, Hayden? I’ll take you
there.”N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
When Hayden saw his mother’s smiling face, he stoppedining as he leaned into Nicole’s
embrace. His small hands held her waist as he said in an adorable tone, “We don’t have to go
anywhere. I’m happy as long as you’re with me, Mom.”
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 theputer 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 suchplex 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.
