Chapter 2242

Jared’s approach felt dangerous to Nicole, so she stopped allowing him to get in close proximity to her.

Just as this thought flashed through, Nicole wrapped herself in her bathrobe and ran for the wardrobe.

Then, she quickly got dressed and left the room.

Watching her series of actions, a smile crossed his face. He shook her head and made for the wardrobe as well.

Outside the room, Nicole bumped into Nolan and Lana.

“Mommy,” the children sweetly greeted.

“You’re up,” Nicole’s gaze softened and she pulled them towards her. “Let’s head down.”

“Where’s daddy?” Lana asked with a look of doubt when she could not spot Jared’s figure.

With an odd look on her face, Nicole stiffly said, “He’ll be out soon. Let’s go down first.”

“Oh, alright.” Lana followed Nicole downstairs.

Downstairs, the family was already in the dining room.

“Grandpa, Grandma, and uncles,” Nolan and Lana greeted.

“Come over and take a seat,” Gloria affectionately said.

After Nicole and the kids had gotten themselves seated, Daniel asked, “How is Samuel doing?”

Nicole smiled and comforted her parents, “Well, he’s doing great. You don’t need to worry about him.”

“That’s good,” Daniel stated.

“Oh, is that so?” Gloria asked, seeming a little hesitant.

Curious, Nicole asked, “Yes Mom? Something on your mind?”

“We wanted to pay Samuel a visit,” Gloria replied.

Gloria was worried that they might disturb June and Samuel if they were to pay them a visit.

Nicole smirked. “If you have the time to visit Samuel, why don’t you start thinking about their wedding preparations?”

“They’re getting married?!” everyone in the room asked in surprise.

Even Spencer was shocked, as he did not know this prior.

“They haven’t announced it yet, but my gut feeling informs me that it’s not too far ahead,” Nicole smirked. “So I think you guys might as well start preparing. That way, when they do decide to get married, all they need to do is pick a date and arrange everything.”

By doing that, they could save a lot of time. Gloria was always anxious about their relationship too, so it was likely that she would be more than willing to prepare for these matters.

And sure enough, Gloria went along with Nicole’s suggestion. “Alright then, I’ll stay back to prepare for their wedding.”

“Fine by me. Let’s prepare like Nicole said,” Daniel followed.

Spencer shook his head. “Well, this is a blessing in disguise for Samuel. If so, I reckon Samuel will be able to hold the wedding once he recovers. Good things come in pairs perhaps.

“Pretty much,” Spencer finished, with everyone acknowledging his analysis, thinking it made perfect sense.

“In that case, can we ask to be the flower girl and boy in advance?” Lana tilted her head with a look of yearning.

Hearing that, Nolan frowned in disapproval. “Do you have some kind of obsession with being a flower girl?”

Once those words had been uttered, the family burst out laughing and agreed, “Sure, as long as Lana likes it.”

“Can I, Mommy?” Lana asked for Nicole’s permission with utmost seriousness.

Nicole then patted Lana’s head, saying, “Of course you can. Your Uncle Samuel would probably be begging for it.”

“Yay, then I’ll be the flower girl,” Lana nodded fervently, feeling very determined to follow through.

Everyone watching her then burst out into another fit of laughter.

Jared, who was making his way downstairs, heard their conversation.

With that, he looked at Lana, saying, “It’s fine as long as you like it.”
