Chapter 2162

Nicole turned her gaze to June. ‘She must have a similar reason.’

Before they knew it, dinner was almost over, and the time was getting late.

Sean left with Jane, and Steve with Sally. Gloria and Daniel went to put Nolan and Lana to sleep.

Stanley watched the couples and did not want to be the odd one out, so he left too.

In the living room, Nicole had some fruits while she chatted with Lulu and June.

Without the older relatives around, Lulu and June seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

“So you don’t remember us, Nicole? No wonder I’ve always had a weird feeling. It felt like you seemed a little different when you returned, but I couldn’t figure out why.” Lulu observed Nicole carefully. ‘She could handle everything well, even without her memory. There’s really nothing Nicole can’t do.’

Nicole replied apologetically, “I didn’t let you know initially because I had to keep this a secret. Also, I never found the right time to talk about it.”

The right time presented itself that day, so Nicole decided to clarify things to her friends.

“It’s fine. We understand,” said June. Then, she exclaimed,” But the fact that you have your own kids was a huge surprise!”

That news was even more shocking to them, compared to the news of Nicole’s memory loss.

“Yeah,” Lulu replied. “So, when you were seen together with Jared at the preschool’s Family Day, it was for the twins?”

“Yes. But it was for a special reason, so we didn’t announce anything about Nolan and Lana,” Nicole explained. She could only announce it to everyone once everything was settled.

“Yeah, it’s better to be careful. After all, they’re very young. If anything were to happen, it’d traumatize them.”

“That’s right. Protecting them was the right move.”

Looking at the two girls supporting her decision, Nicole smiled warmly. Although she had no memory of the past, she could still feel the genuine friendship between them.

With a smile on her face, Nicole turned to June and said,” Are you having any concerns about you and Samuel?”

“Huh?” June was stunned. She did not expect Nicole to ask such a question abruptly.

Looking at June’s reaction, Nicole knew that she had guessed right. “Don’t tell me you have the same reason as Lulu.”

“No!” June shook her head. Her cheeks were flushed as she added, “I just feel that Samuel is at the peak of his career. I don’t want to hold him back.”

June felt that she could wait for a few more years. After all, she had faith in Samuel.

Nicole could not help but tease, “You’re setting up Samuel to be single. I don’t think he needs that, right?”

“I don’t need it,” Samuel replied sternly.

“But no matter what, he would be distracted when he has his own family,” June explained. It was not really about social status. She simply felt that without the burden of building a family, Samuel would not have as many worries.

Nicole laughed and replied with a question, “Don’t you think that he’d have less worries if he has both a career and a family?”

“Well…” June hesitated. Her friend was not wrong, but that opinion varied from person to person.

Knowing June and Lulu’s thoughts, Nicole smiled and shook her head. ‘These two girls truly care for Spencer and Samuel. They’re actually putting their men first.’
