Chapter 2145

“It’s nothing. It’s regarding your Uncle Damien and Dillon. Both Dad and I just went over to have dinner with Grandpa,” Nicole explained to her whole family, to reassure them.

Nicole felt that it would be better to leave out the important parts, just so everyone could have a peace of mind and save herself from all the complicated explanations.

“Oh, that’s a relief.”

“Thank goodness it was nothing serious.”

A few of them let out a sigh of relief, all thinking the same thing. ‘As long as Nicole is okay, nothing else matters.’

“It’s late now. Let’s all go to bed,” announced Daniel as he looked at Gloria, ushering her to go with him. “Let’s go.”

“Okay.” Gloria followed her husband upstairs.

Once their parents had left, Stanley turned to look at Nicole to confirm that there was nothing seriously wrong with Nicole before speaking up, “Okay, let’s go too.”

Soon everyone had made their way up the stairs and into their respective rooms. Nicole went over to Nolan’s room and saw that he was busy on his computer while Jared was playing with Lana with her Barbie dolls.

Being such a cold guy himself and seeing him like this, helping Lana choose a hairpin for her Barbie doll that were no bigger than his fingertips,’ Nicole thought to herself as she watched the Barbie dolls being placed in her palm which gave her a sentimental feeling.

“Daddy, I want the pink one,” Lana said in a cute voice.

Jared obediently handed a pink hairpin over to Lana, not withdrawing his caring look away from Lana dressing up her Barbie doll.

It was an unusual sight. A smile flashed before Nicole’s eyes.

“Mommy.” Nolan called out, being the first to notice Nicole’s presence, before reaching out to turn off his computer and walked toward Nicole.

Nicole rubbed Nolan’s head before smiling. “Are you doing your missions?”

“No, I was just browsing.” Nolan looked up and said proudly, “My rank has improved a lot.”

Nicole looked at Nolan adoringly. “Okay, I know. I believe you’ll soon surpass me.”

“I’ll work harder!” Nolan vigorously nodded his head, looking determined.

“Mommy, I also want to be like Nolan. I want to catch up to Mommy too,” said Lana as she walked over.

“Alright, both of you can work hard and make both Mommy and Daddy proud.” Nicole smiled happily while thinking,’ These two are one of the greatest gifts life has ever given me.’

Jared soon came over to see Nicole with their two children, he also could not help but feel blessed to have all of them gathered, safe and sound.

“Mommy, I’m tired,” said Lana in a tired voice as she rubbed her eyes.

“Let’s get you in bed.” Jared picked up Lana in his arms and brought her to her room.

Nicole looked down at Nolan and Nolan understood immediately. “I’m going to sleep too. Good night, Mommy.”

Nicole helped to tuck Nolan into bed, waiting for him to fall asleep. Once Nolan was asleep, Nicole turned off the lights before she left the room.

Coincidentally, Lana had also fallen asleep at the same time. Both Jared and Nicole came out of their rooms at the same time. They looked at each other. Nicole smiled unconsciously.

Jared walked over and held Nicole’s hand. “Let’s get some rest. The kids have a parent-child sports day tomorrow. You promised you’d go.”

“Yeah, I know.” Nicole did not forget her promise with the twins. She did not want to disappoint them.

Soon, they arrived at the door of their bedroom, and Nicole suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Jared turned to look at her and smirked. Without hesitation, he pulled her into the room. Nicole was still nervous about the incident yesterday. Jared, on the other hand, did not expect for the scene to go out of control, making a mental note to keep things in control the next time.

‘I keep forgetting that she has no recollection of what we were before. I can’t be too hasty and scare her,’ thought Jared.

After entering the room, Jared reassured Nicole.

“Don’t worry. I will try my best to control myself this time,” said Jared with a hint of tease in his voice.
