My Wife is a Hacker by Summer

"Are you sure about that?" Patricia remained somewhat skeptical.
"Of course," Ellar reaffirmed, sensing that Patricia was just speculating, and he doubled down with more certainty.
Patricia eyed Ellar critically.
Despite his convincing tone, she couldn't shake off a lingering sense of doubt.
Seeing Patricia's hesitancy, Ellar quickly changed the subject, "Do you have any other concerns?" "No, that's all," Patricia
replied.
"Great, my mom has asked me to invite you over for dinner," Ellar offered.
"If you're free, why don't you come along?" Patricia felt a bit uneasy.
"I'd better not, considering our history..." Although they had clarified their situation to their families, she still felt somewhat guilty
toward Emma and was apprehensive about facing her.
"It's okay, my mom knows that our relationship was just a temporary arrangement.
And now that everything with Doretta has been cleared up, she doesn't see you as my girlfriend anymore.
But she mentioned she likes you a lot and hopes you'll visit often," Ellar reassured her, then added, "By the way, Doretta will also
be there tonight." "She will?" Patricia's pupils contracted slightly at the mention.
"Yes, she mentioned she's free tonight and will come to visit my mom," Ellar replied.
After amoment of contemplation, Patricia agreed, "Alright then." Meeting Doretta would be a good opportunity to discuss the
day's events and to strategize their next moves against Lawrence.
Unaware of Patricia's internal concerns about Lawrence, Ellar was pleased with her acceptance and said, "Let's go, then." In the
car with Ellar, Patricia made her way to his home.
Upon arrival, they found Doretta already there, engaged in conversation with Emma in the living room.
The truth about Doretta's real identity had been clarified earlier.
Emma expressed her relief, "I always knew you were a good person.

I was saddened for so long over your supposed wrong path, but thankfully it was all a facade." "I'm sorry for causing you
distress," Doretta apologized.
"It's alright.
I understand you were committed to your duty, and you were the one who was wronged," Emma empathized, acknowledging
that Doretta must have felt isolated and misunderstood by everyone at the time.
"Not at all, as long as I could complete my mission, everything was worth it," Doretta replied with a smile.
As Ellar and Patricia entered, Emma warmly invited, "Patricia, come in, have a seat." After settling down on the couch, Patricia
greeted Emma.
"Don't be formal; I'm happy you're here.
Feel free to visit anytime, " Emma said with a tender smile.
"TI will," Patricia responded, then turned to Doretta and said, " Thank you for saving my brother before." "It was the right thing to
do.
I couldn't just watch him be killed by Aquila, and it wasn't just because he's your brother.
I'd have done the same for anyone," Doretta responded earnestly.
"T still owe you my thanks.
After all, he is my brother," Patricia expressed sincerely.
Had Doretta saved someone else, Patricia would have simply admired her actions.
But since it was Charlie, her gratitude was personal and heartfelt.
"It's evident that you and your brother share a deep bond," Doretta observed with a smile.
"Yes, our situation is something you might be familiar with," Patricia replied openly, presuming Doretta was well-informed about
her and Charlie's circumstances.
