Chapter 2492

Gloria saw Nicole walk into the house. With hopeful eyes, she asked, “How’s Lulu doing?”

“How did you guys find out?” Nicole glanced at Gloria’s worried expression and sighed deeply. ‘The news must’ve spread like wildfire.’

“Is she okay? How could such a thing happen to that poor child…” There was a hint of distress in Gloria’s voice.

“Don’t worry, she’ll be fine,” Nicole reassured.

“That’s a relief to hear.” Gloria let out a breath in relief.

Nicole briefly chatted to Gloria about the incident that happened earlier in the day and how the police were looking into the matter.

“I hope they can solve this as soon as possible, what with the weddings approaching. I don’t want this to affect Lulu’s big day.” Gloria sighed again.

‘A wedding happens once in a lifetime. It’s only right to have a happy bride,’ she thought to herself.

Nicole nodded. “Yeah, don’t worry about it too much.”

After dinner was over, Jared and Nicole brought the twins upstairs to Nolan’s room. Nolan dragged Nicole to his desktop.

“Mommy, what’s going on with Uncle Preston?” he asked, batting his big eyes.

“I’m not sure. Why do you ask?” asked Nicole cautiously.

Nolan climbed into his seat and turned the desktop on. He turned around to look at his mother. “It’s been really quiet recently. There hasn’t been any progress. I think this might be related to Uncle Preston…”

Nicole lowered her eyes to glance at the screen before pausing for a moment. “That’s probably why.

Let’s wait for a while longer. If there’s really any update, then Uncle Preston would tell Mommy.”

“Okay.” Nolan nodded and he started clicking away on his computer.

“Godpa is very quiet too. He hasn’t talked to me in ages.”

“You haven’t heard from Lawrence recently?” Nicole’s eyes narrowed. ‘That’s impossible. Lawrence always used to leave messages for Nolan.’

“Yeah, maybe Godpa is busy,” Nolan shrugged. He knew he shouldn’t disturb his godfather if he hadn’t received a response to his message.

Nicole ruffled Nolan’s hair. “He said he’ll come visit you two when he’s free.”

“Godpa misses us?” Nolan perked up.

Nicole nodded. “Yes, he wants to see you both.”

Nicole saw how bright Nolan’s face was when she mentioned Lawrence’s name. ‘He must miss him a lot.’

Nicole thought of arranging the twins to meet up with Lawrence over the period of the next few days.

She did not notice Nolan excitedly sending messages to Lawrence about the good news.

“Mommy, is Godpa very busy? Nolan told me that Godpa hasn’t sent him a text in a very long time,”

Lana said curiously, as she walked over and tugged on Nicole’s shirt.

“Yeah, apparently he’s been a little busy recently,” replied Nicole, ruffling Lana’s hair too.

Lana frowned. “If he’s so busy, he won’t have the time to come visit us!”

Nicole was stunned by Lana’s response. ‘Is she casually questioning this, or does she not want to visit Lawrence?’

Nicole bent down to meet her daughter’s eyes. “So do you want him to visit, or do you not want him to visit?”

“No, I just feel like he’s too busy and we’d be bothering him.” Lana smiled sheepishly.

Nicole was left speechless. ‘This girl is simply astonishing! She clearly doesn’t want to visit Lawrence, and she can convey her message so impressively.’

“I want him to visit, whether he’s busy or not. We have to arrange a time,” said Nolan. He scrunched up his face at Lana in dissatisfaction.

‘How can she refuse? We spent so much time away from our Godpa,’ Nolan thought.

Lana stuck her tongue out at Nolan. She did not want to visit Lawrence, regardless that he was kind to them before. She felt that the kindness Lawrence had given them before had changed ever since they returned home.
