“As you wish!”
Immediately afterward, the two of them went into the study to choose their “battle weapons”. After a while, Nicole held a laptop and walked into one of the guest rooms.
After that, she immediately texted Juan so that he could control the laptop remotely.
In the study, Kyle took his time to build the firewall, but it was cracked within a few minutes.
This lady is really something!
He raised the level of difficulty.
Similarly, it was cracked within minutes.
In a fit of anger, he raised the degree of difficulty to the highest, which was a feat taught to him by the world’s top hacker. He didn’t believe that it could be cracked.
Just when he was confident that he would win, a firewall alert popped up.
Kyle widened his eyes in surprise as he began to work on resolving it with intense concentration.
Looking at the screen, Nicole frowned slightly and suddenly halted Juan’s remote access to her laptop.
That’s enough. If Juan can really defeat Kyle, it will definitely deal a blow to Kyle.
On the other end, Juan thumped the table after his remote access was cut off. What is mommy doing?
I was still figuring out how to crack this rare firewall system.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Thus, he took his phone and called his mother.
Nicole glanced at the door before answering the phone with her voice lowered, “Juan, that’s enough help.”
“Mommy, the system Kyle builds is so complicated. I was still looking into it. Why did you-“
“Can you crack it?”
“I’m not sure. It is quite advance, and I’ve never encountered one before.”
It seemed that Kyle was still more skillful than Juan was.
“Alright, Juan, you’ve already done a great job. It’s inconvenient for me to talk now. Talk to you later.”
After she hung up the phone, she started to click around cluelessly.
Earlier, Kyle had asked her to practice with him for two hours a day. But since she had decided not to take it too far, she could just spend two hours dilly-dallying on the screen. Surely, Kyle would not come up with other tactics after this?
It was not until two hours had passed that Nicole walked out of the room.
“You’re amazing, Kyle. I can’t crack it. I surrender.”
Saying nothing, Kyle looked up at Nicole, feeling angry.
He was no fool and knew very well that this woman was obviously holding back.
Judging from the time it took her to crack the first two firewalls, such a long period of time could have allowed her to at least do something to the last firewall even though it was of the advanced level.
He gave Nicole a cold look, walked into his bedroom, and then slammed the door shut.
What’s going on?
Confused, Nicole did not understand why he acted that way.
Blake, the butler, walked over and looked at her, saying, “Dr. Tussaud, maybe Kyle is too tired. You should go back first.”
Nicole thought for a while and nodded her head. Before coming over this morning, she had promised her three kids that she would take them to the kindergarten.
“Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow.”
When Evan returned from his office at noon, Nicole had already left.
He nodded in satisfaction after learning from Blake that Kyle had slammed the door in Nicole’s face.
Nicole must have made Kyle angry. That’s great!
I’m glad that this woman is good at being annoying. By the time Kyle’s illness is cured, he will probably never want to see her again.
After Nicole sent her three kids to the kindergarten early the next morning, she rushed to get some desserts and brought them to the Hillside Villa.
When she brought Maya to get some desserts yesterday, she remembered that she had previously run into Evan, who was buying desserts for Kyle. That meant Kyle liked the desserts too.
Therefore, she purposely went to get some desserts and brought them over today.
Looking at the pastries she brought, Kyle knitted his brows.
This woman held back while practicing with me yesterday, and today, she brought pastries over. She must be up to something.
“This is for you, Kyle.”
Nicole happily handed a piece of cake to Kyle.
Kyle looked at her warily and uttered a “No” before he turned his head away.
Nicole’s hand stopped in the air for a brief moment, and she retracted it embarrassingly.
Evan looked on while thinking to himself, Serves you right, Nicole. You’re simply biting off more than you can chew. Hmph! To think you’re trying to get Kyle to like you using some cakes.
“Dr. Tussaud, just do your job as a doctor! You don’t need to worry about the other stuff concerning my son.”
Nicole turned around and looked at the gloating Evan as her blood boiled.
This man really wants Kyle to hate me, doesn’t he?
Damn it!
She feigned a bitter smile. “You’re right, Mr. Seet. I’ll focus on treating Kyle.”
“That’s good then.”
Smirking slightly, Evan shot Nicole a meaningful glance before he walked out with his coat.
“Let’s start.”
Kyle’s voice pulled her back to reality. She sighed and followed him into his bedroom.
He silently endured the pain during the whole treatment like he did yesterday.
After the acupuncture session, Kyle wanted Nicole to hack with him again.
Nicole hesitated. It was because Juan was at the kindergarten today, so he couldn’t help her.
“What now? You’re scared?”
“Yes, Kyle, your skills are too good. You beat me.”
Yet Kyle wasn’t happy, albeit being praised. Instead, he glanced at her with a displeased look. “You’re faking it!”
Well, yes… but, I’m more like an impostor since I know nothing about hacking.
Either way, she did not mind what Kyle said to her.
“Kyle, since I’ve already bought the cakes, why don’t you have a bite?”
Kyle, however, only glanced at her and did not answer.
Nicole suddenly remembered Maya, her little glutton. If I were to eat in front of Kyle, would it make him crave for it too?
With this in mind, Nicole immediately put it into action.
Unboxing one of the cheesecake, she took one slice, sat down, and ate it with relish.
But it backfired – Kyle just went upstairs after shooting her a glance.
Nevertheless, Nicole did not give up and followed him up the stairs. Since it was something Kyle liked to eat, she hoped that he could have a little, even if it was just one bite.
However, Kyle chided at her as soon as she walked upstairs, “Stay away from me.”
“I know you like this cake, Kyle. Why don’t you-“
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Kyle calling Evan and telling him, “She’s got ulterior motives. Don’t have her over anymore.”
“Kyle, you-“
