My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 40

That morning was the day when Samuel understood Nicole’s ability. Even a basketball player who had

been going for daily morning runs like him could not catch up with her. He exclaimed at the level of her

running speed. Spencer continued to sneer, “I don’t mind trying. I’m definitely better than you!” Seeing

that the two brothers are about to get into a fight, Stanley said, “Enough! Nicole is still waiting for us to

begin the meal. Aren’t we sending her off to school today? We’ll have to leave earlier.”

As soon as Samuel and Spencer heard this, they stopped arguing and sat down to eat. Norah felt

jealous that Nicole received so much attention for just staying in school.

In Norah’s eyes, Nicole did not pester to go to school for her grades but to spend more time with the

brothers and take away all the love and attention from Norah.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Norah could not help but say, “Mom, all of them are

staying on campus. I’m left alone at home. I want to stay on campus too.”

At this, everyone was stunned. Samuel asked naively, “Norah, didn’t you say that the environment in

school wasn’t great, so you didn’t want to go with us?”

They had asked her before while they were staying in school. That time, Norah was strongly against it.

He wondered what had happened to her.

Norah sobbed. “Last time, I was scared of my classmates bullying me. But now I’ve already gotten to

know them, and I want to get closer to all of you. Furthermore… If I stay at school, I can take care of

Nicole. After all, I’ve been at the Royal Creek Institute longer, so I’m more familiar with the place.”

Hearing this, Daniel agreed. “I think you’re right.” Then, he looked at Gloria immediately, “Why not let

Norah stay in school too?” Gloria hesitated for a moment. She felt that Daniel had a hidden agenda, but

she nodded, ” Alright, I’ll ask the family butler to pack her things.” As she was speaking, Gloria walked NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

up the stairs. Norah was a little stunned by what had just happened, ‘What’s going on?’

Previously, when Nicole wanted to stay in school, the Riddles were reluctant.

Now that it was her turn, they did not give it a second thought. It was as if they were waiting for this day

to come!

At that moment, Norah slightly regretted her request to stay on campus. ‘Could it be that I will never

have the chance to move back in after leaving?’

But word was already out. Norah could only take a bet.

At least now, Samuel still treated her sincerely.

Her parents did not love her the same as before, so she should at least retain her brother’s love and

attention.

As these thoughts were going through her head, she had a firmer look in her eyes. She went upstairs

to pack her things after taking a few bites. When Nicole and the rest finished breakfast, they saw Norah

bring down a few pieces of luggage. Spencer was shocked upon seeing her luggage. “Norah, why are

you bringing so many bags? Are you planning to have a vacation at school?” he asked. The moment

Stanley looked at Norah’s belongings as high as a mountain, he could not help but laugh.

Compared to Nicole, who had only brought one duffle bag, Norah’s luggage was way too much. Norah

felt awkward by their reactions and blushed. “I’m not. It’s just that I saw Nicole bringing so little things.

I’m worried she might need some stuff, so I packed many things!” Deep down, she knew that all of it

was her favorite clothing. There were quite a lot more which she had not put in yet! After she said that,

everyone looked at her in shock. It was unexpected that Norah could be this thoughtful.

Nicole noticed that Norah was using her as an excuse. She looked at Norah with a smile.” Norah, thank

you for being so thoughtful. But I’m not used to using other people’s belongings. You can put it back.”

This reply stunned Norah. She could feel her face raging in flames. But everyone was staring at her.

She could only reply awkwardly, “Alright then… Alfred, bring these two bags back upstairs.”

She could only leave her two bags behind reluctantly.

“We’re almost running late. Let’s go. I don’t want to be late to school for such a trivial matter.” Nicole

glanced at Norah and turned around.

“Nicole, wait for me!” Spencer followed her while Stanley quietly put on his school uniform and left with

them. Samuel was the only one who stayed and helped Norah with her luggage.

Gloria walked them out.

Nicole took the passenger’s seat while the three boys took the back seat.

Norah was awkwardly left behind. “Spencer, Samuel, where should I sit?”

Gloria saw this and quickly said, “Norah, you have a lot of bags. I’ll let Joe drive another car and send

you to the dormitory instead.”

“Huh?” Norah almost broke down.

But Samuel and Spencer did not notice that. “Norah, we’re leaving now!” “Sam—”Norah tried to speak,

but the car had already driven off. She could only sit in that unglamorous and old car alone to school.

“Norah, if anything happens in school, don’t forget to call me,” said Gloria with a warm smile. “Alright.”

Norah forced a smile. But deep down, her hatred against Nicole deeper.

“Just wait and see. I will take back the love and attention from my brothers.’

Soon, Nicole and the boy’s car arrived at school first. Because of what happened the day before,

Samuel and Spencer were worried that someone would bully Nicole again. Throughout the journey,

they had been asking Nicole to let them accompany her to school.

The boys did not leave until she had chosen her room and settled in. Nicole only went to the classroom

when it was almost time for class. In class, Bradley was excitedly describing Nicole’s heroic act to Lulu.

When he reached the part where Nicole could defeat more than ten men alone, he was practically

dancing. He even stood up and mimicked all her moves which made his story interesting. Lulu was

very entertained by his story too. As Nicole walked in, she saw Bradley standing on the bench and

acting in front of Lulu. So, he must have recovered already. Bradley and Lulu quickly rushed to her side

the moment they saw her. Lulu broke the silence,” Nicole, I’ve heard about what happened yesterday

from Bradley. How did you do it? I’ve only seen one fighting dozens of people in movies!” Bradley

added, “I wasn’t lying! Nicole really did defeat all of them alone! Especially Cain, he got beaten so hard

that he could not even stand. Don’t even mention the embarrassment!”
