Chapter 2345

Seeing this, Daniel did not question further. He knew that Nicole must have her own reasons for her actions, so he did not want to bug her about it.

Lawrence was casually chatting with everyone. He quickly got along with Nolan and Lana. He was happily playing with the wooden blocks with them. The whole scene seemed as if Lawrence had done this countless times.

“We have a visitor.” All of a sudden, a cold voice sounded, and the atmosphere in the living room became heavy.

“Dad!” Lana happily ran toward Jared, opening her arms wide and falling into Jared’s embrace.

Jared lifted Lana into his arms and walked to the sofa. He glanced coldly at Lawrence.

“Mr. Jared here seems to be a busy man,” Lawrence said, acting casual.

“I’m not as free as you,” Jared responded in an unfriendly tone.

‘This guy had already brought Nicole out for dinner. And now, he has the guts to come into the house.

Isn’t he a little too free?’

“I’m no match for you, but life like this ain’t that bad. I get to hang out with friends and play with the kids. Seems like a pretty good life to me.” Lawrence’s tone sounded calm, but he was secretly trying to provoke Jared.

“As long as you’re happy with your life.” Jared, who was carrying Lana, sat down beside Nicole as he shot Lawrence a cold look.

Seeing that the two men were about to start another argument, Nicole rolled her eyes and said, “Both of you are like friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time.

There’s so much to talk about.”

It was obvious that they were going head-to-head with each other, but they still pretended to be chatting pleasantly. It was really annoying to watch.

Lana looked up and innocently pointed out, “Mom, Dad and Godpa aren’t chatting with each other.

They’re pretending to be polite.”

The corner of Nicole’s mouth twitched. She tried to suppress her laugh. ‘Even a little kid could tell.

Aren’t they embarrassed?’

Jared looked at Lana and smiled with a doting look. He seemed to be proud that his daughter could read his mind.

Nicole could not help but smirk. ‘This angel is really different. I Jared’s calm reaction naturally caused Lawrence to not feel embarrassed. In fact, Lawrence turned to Lana and smiled.” Lana, you’ve become smarter now.”

Lana giggled and smiled happily.

Daniel and Gloria glanced at each other. They found the scene to be funny. This little one was extremely adorable, so they just took Lana’s words as a child’s blabber.

“Daniel, Gloria, it’s getting late. I should get going.” Lawrence got up, readying to leave.

Daniel immediately called out to the house butler. “Alfred, please see him out.”

Lawrence patted Nolan’s head and said, “I’m going now. I’ll come and play with both of you next time.”

“Alright. Bye, Godpa.” Although Nolan was reluctant to let Lawrence go, he knew there was no way he could make Lawrence stay.

Lana echoed, “Bye, Godpa!”

“Goodbye. Remember to obey your mom, you hear?” Lawrence advised.

“Got it!” Lana and Nolan responded in unison.

After watching the butler send Lawrence off, Nicole turned to her parents. “Mom, Dad, it’s getting late.

You guys should head upstairs and get some rest.”

“Alright, you all should head to bed soon too,” Gloria said. Then, she walked up the stairs with Daniel.

Nicole turned to Nolan and Lana. “You guys should get ready for bed.”

“Okay!” While speaking, Nolan and Lana pulled Jared and Nicole to the stairs, urging them to go to bed too.

After tucking Nolan and Lana in bed, Jared and Nicole went back to their room.
