Chapter 239 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• At the end of her name, Nicole would habitually carve her signature, as if she were writing an S. Alongside Nicole’s rigid handwriting, it was strangely beautiful. Gary, who had just walked out, too, saw that scene. When he saw the person left behind at each signature, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. After completing the signing, Nicole returned to Jared’s side. As the two were about to leave, one of the fans whispered a question. “Will you be coming back here to race again?” Nicole did not turn back; her voice was faint and quickly faded with the wind. “No.” Gary heard the answer from afar and inexplicably felt lost for a moment. ‘She won’t be coming back?’

She appeared to have lost her usual caution and alertness in his presence. Nicole then looked up as she met the man’s deep, black eyes. When Jared saw her wake up, the light in his eyes slowly gleamed like a star in the night, bright yet warm. “You’re awake.” Nicole nodded as she handed him his coat; her voice was still hoarse from waking up. “What’s the time now?” Jared casually glanced at the watch and spoke faintly. “It’s still early, not past closing time yet.”
