Chapter 2662

Nicole shook her head while chuckling. “So that’s why Mom was so eager to introduce girls to Stanley. I never knew he left such an impression on her. Well, Mom should be happy now. Not only does Stanley have Tia, but he also has Cherry as his potential girlfriend.’

Nicole frowned slightly and thought, ‘Oh right, there’s Martin too. Things are getting ugly.’

After dinner, Nicole and Jared took the kids back to their room.

“Mommy, does Grandma like Cherry more?” Lana asked while peeking her head out of her blanket.

“Why the sudden question?” Nicole chuckled.

Lana frowned and said, “It’s just a feeling I got.”

She could not explain it, but she just felt that Gloria preferred Cherry more.

“If that were true, what do you think about it, Lana?” Nicole asked softly.

“Wouldn’t it be troublesome if Uncle Stanley only likes Tia, but Grandma likes Cherry?” Lana said, feeling conflicted.

Nicole burst into laughter. “Don’t worry. That wouldn’t be a problem.”

“Huh? Why not?”

“Because there’s no conflict between them. No matter who turns out to be Stanley’s wife, your Grandma will love her. Most importantly, it depends on who Uncle Stanley likes,” Nicole explained.

“Oh,” Lana said, sounding relieved.

Nolan shot another question at Nicole. “Mommy, is Martin your friend?”

“Yup, what’s the matter?” Nicole responded. She looked at Nolan in surprise, wondering why he was paying attention to Martin.

Nolan then turned his gaze to Jared. “And you know about it? IV “Yes,” Jared answered blandly. He knew Nolan’s intention and found it amusing.

‘Is the kid reminding me that I have a rival in love?’

“Alright then, that’s good,” said Nolan, trying to play it cool. It seemed that he might have overthought it.

It was a relief that this situation meant nothing to Jared.

Since they had found their father and Nolan was the eldest child among the next generation of the Johnston family, he ought to consider his own family’s interests. Besides that, Nicole was madly in love with Jared, so Nolan had no choice but to accept him.

Jared smirked. ‘Is this the feeling of acknowledgment?

Finally, this kid is seeing me as his dad, an irreplaceable father.’

After watching the kids fall asleep, the couple went back to their room.

“Why would Nolan ask such a question?” Nicole looked at Jared, waiting for an answer. She was indeed friends with Martin, but she understood that Nolan did not refer to Martin as her usual friend.

Nicole thought, ‘Did Martin even act unusually today? We had always had a regular friendship. But then there’s something different between Martin and Tia today. Although it was nothing special, Martin hardly ever showed concern for anyone.’

Jared ruffled Nicole’s hair and teased, “Perhaps it was because of your irresistible charm?”

“Huh?” Nicole did not understand Jared’s meaning.

Jared chuckled and, without giving her an explanation, he lifted Nicole into his arms. Although Martin was trying hard to act normally, it was hard to hide one’s love for someone. It was noticeable with just one glance.

However, Jared would never tell Nicole about it. It was best that Nicole treated Martin as a friend since that was what they were.

“Hey, I’m not done yet,” Nicole complained as she snuggled against Jared’s neck.
