Chapter 2327

Looking at the ring wrapped around the finger of her left hand, Spencer gently embraced Lulu in his arms and whispered, “Thank you, Lulu”

“I should be the one thanking you. You’re so outstanding, and yet, you chose me in the end.” Lulu blushed as she bit her lip.

Spencer lowered his voice as he brushed her hair and said,” You’re exceptional too, and you’re the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with.”

Her heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank as she looked Spencer in the eye.

Then, Spencer lowered his head and lightly kissed Lulu in the lips.

As the clock ticked, the sky became darker, with Nicole and Jared returning to their own room after tucking their children in.

“Did everything go smoothly at the family manor?” Jared asked in a hushed voice.

“We’re fine, but some of them didn’t have it easy,” Nicole said with a smirk playing on her lips.

Jared raised an eyebrow. Though he did not know what had happened, it was evident that Nicole was in a good mood. On the contrary, it seemed that someone else was having a stroke of bad luck.

After ruffling her hair, he softly said, “Go freshen up and get ready for bed.”

“Okay.” Nicole entered the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water emanated from within.

After changing into his casual attire, Jared sat by the bedside and turned his computer on.

When Nicole emerged from the shower, her curiosity got the were going to sleep just now, but what are you doing now?”

Her gaze landed on Jared’s screen, the sight of which surprised her. “Why are you logging into the Hunter?”

“Accepting a mission,” Jared calmly said, his hands rhythmically tapping on the keyboard.

Nicole furrowed her brows when she saw him accepting the mission she had assigned to others in search of the five crests. “You can just let me know if you have any information. Accepting a mission…

Wait a minute.”

It was then that something dawned on her, prompting her to turn her gaze to Jared and ask, “Do you have a lead?”

“Yeah, kind of, but the person is quite cunning. I haven’t been able to trace them.” Jared’s gaze darkened.

“So you’re trying to create some false leads to confuse them. ” Nicole said, having understood Jared’s intention.

“Whether this person is genuine or fake, we’ll know soon enough,” Jared said, typing the last letter in before closing the laptop.

Then, Nicole sat down and suggested, “You should also put some information out there. I believe they won’t be as relaxed once they see it.”

Agitating their adversaries would indeed increase the likelihood of them slipping up. The reasoning behind it was that the slightest inconsistency might make them suspicious, thus revealing their identity.

In addition, Nicole wanted to see who this person really was and whether they truly knew the whereabouts of the five crests.

“No rush. The fish will eventually take the bait,” Jared said before grabbing a towel and drying Nicole’s hair with it.

“I know. I’m just curious about the person’s identity. What if they’re from one of the historical families? If they’re not, what’s their intention for accepting the task?” Nicole pondered.

Having wiped her hair dry, Jared ruffled it gently and said,” Let’s get some sleep.”

“Sure.” Nicole turned and laid down, pulling the blanket over herself.

Jared shot her a glance. Then, he got up and headed to the bathroom. After a quick, hot shower, he came out soon after.

He pulled the covers and laid down, and after extending his arm, he pulled Nicole into his embrace.

The scent of her hair overwhelmed his senses as he buried his nose in it, and his eyes darkened as he fixed his gaze on her.

Nicole shifted slightly, trying to find a more comfortable position as she felt uneasy in the one prior.

However, her movement seemed to have an unexpected effect on Jared, causing his eyes to darken even further.
