My Wife is a Hacker

Jared held Nicole close and looked at her. "After we get married, we'll move to the estate," he said.

Their future home would be just theirs.

He thought it was good for Nicole to spend more time with her family since she hadn't been with them for five years. But they knew they would move to the estate later.

"Okay," Nicole said, nodding. She was happy Jared made the estate close to her family, so she was okay with moving.

Jared gently touched her hair and kissed her...

Time flew, and soon it was Nicole and Jared's wedding day.

From the morning, San Joto was alive with excitement. Everyone was talking about Jared and Nicole’s wedding.

Politicians, business leaders, close friends, and business partners all came to wish the couple well.

The Riddles were busy welcoming the guests, making everything look amazing.

"Patricia, hurry up, Charlie's here," Ellar called out as he spotted Charlie. He quickly got Patricia to come and greet him. Max, hearing the fuss, came over too.

Charlie arrived with Doretta, Zane, and Carl.

"Charlie!" Patricia said, thrilled, "you're back." "Yes, it's a happy day. We had to come and join in," Charlie replied, giving Patricia a relieved look.

It looked like Ellar had been taking great care of Patricia, so Charlie, her brother, didn't need to worry anymore.

"Speaking of happy days, when's yours?" Ellar teased, looking at Charlie.

Charlie hesitated, stealing a glance at Doretta.

Doretta blushed and quickly said, "Ellar, I'm off to see Aunt Emma.’

Then, she went over to Emma, who was busy with the guests.

"Charlie, you need to try a bit harder," Ellar said, smiling playfully.

Charlie looked at Eliar with a bit of annoyance and said, "Worry about your own problems first."

He and Doretta didn't plan to get married soon. But they liked being together, helping and caring for each other. They'd think about marriage when it felt right.

"You young ones," Zane laughed, watching them joke around.

"And you, being a bit older, should..." Carl nudged Zane and added, "You should also think about your love life." "Why don't you mind your own business?" Zane replied, hinting that Carl, who was also single, shouldn't talk. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"What's the fun here? What are you talking about?" Preston, Ryder, and Gary came over to the group.

Preston didn't want to welcome guests. Since Ryder and Gary were guests too, he acted like he was hosting them.

"We were talking about why so many people are single," Ellar said jokingly, looking at the three who were also single.

"Cut it out, I just haven't wanted to find anyone," Gary retorted, not ready to give in.

Ellar leaned in closer to Gary, whispering like he was sharing a secret. "You should know one thing... you never really had a chance from the start, so you might as well not bother." "Are you asking for trouble?" Gary glared at Ellar, surprised by his directness.

"I'm just speaking the truth," Ell ar stood his ground, looking Gary in the eye.

Preston intervened, pulling Gary back. "If you've got the ability, end your single status. Everything else is just talk."
