My Wife is a Hacker by Summer - Chapter 3256
Chapter 3256
Doretta nodded, understanding that Patricia and Charlie had also been through tough times.
Fortunately, through their own efforts, they had supported each other and made it to this point.
Emma glanced at the time and suggested, “It’s about time; let’s talk over dinner.” “Sure,” everyone
agreed, standing up and heading to the dining room.
After a lively dinner, Patricia and Doretta said their goodbyes and left.
Ellar was a bit sad as he watched Patricia and Doretta walk away together, refusing his offer to escort
them. He had been happy when Patricia agreed to come with him, but now he wondered if she only
came because of Doretta, which made him feel more alone.
After they left, Patricia and Doretta didn’t go their separate ways. They found a quiet spot.
“Is there something else?” Doretta checked their surroundings before she spoke.
“It’s about Ms. Riddle…” Patricia then briefly explained the situation that had unfolded earlier in the day
and cautioned, “I know you’re investigating Lawrence, but please hurry. I have a feeling he might harm
Nicole.”
Doretta’s expression turned grave. “Okay, I understand.”
It seemed Lawrence was indeed becoming impatient, and they should indeed be more vigilant.
“The safety of Nicole is in my hands; I will do everything I can. The rest is up to you and Charlie,”
Patricia said with a serious tone.
Doretta nodded. “Don’t worry, we will do our best too.”
After a nod, Patricia looked around before quickly leaving. They had to be cautious now, as there might
be people watching them, especially Doretta. Her identity couldn’t be exposed yet, so it was better to
be careful.
Doretta waited a moment to ensure no one was watching her before she left.

At the Riddle residence, the family had already finished their dinner. They were now in the living room,
keeping Nolan and Lana company while watching TV.
“Nicole, why do you seem so preoccupied? Has something happened?” Gloria, noticing Nicole seemed
troubled, couldn’t help but express her concern.
“It’s nothing, just some work-related matters/ Nicole responded with a reassuring smile, trying to
comfort Gloria.

Gloria’s brow furrowed slightly. “Is it that work has been too exhausting?
You look a bit pale. Maybe you should take a few days off.” “Really, it’s nothing. It might just be the
workload recently, but I can handle it.” Nicole didn’t want to worry Gloria, so she kept the issues with
Lawrence to herself.
Gloria remained somewhat concerned, her expression growing more serious.
“Mom, I’m managing a conglomerate now, so it’s normal to have a lot on my plate. Plus, some past
events have settled down, so I just need to straighten things out. It’ll be fine soon,” Nicole reassured
her, linking arms with Gloria.
“Sean is there too, and in a few days, Sally will be discharged, and Steve can return to the company. I
believe they can handle it,” Daniel chimed in, offering comfort as well.
The mention of Sally and the baby being discharged brought a nod from Gloria, “Right, with Sally’s
discharge, Steve will also return to his duties at the company.”
Gloria pondered aloud, “I’m planning to visit the hospital tomorrow to check if the caregiver and nanny
have been arranged properly. Sally and Lucian will need someone to look after them.” “Steve said he
has everything arranged, but it would be good for you to double-check. We need to make sure
everything is perfectly in place,” Nicole agreed.
