Chapter 2742

After a while, the car stopped, indicating that they had already arrived at the entrance of the preschool.

“You’re here.” Lawrence’s voice greeted, surprising both Nicole and the rest of her family.

“Godpa!” Nolan and Lana exclaimed in surprise, though they did not run up to him as they had done before.

“Why are you here?” Nicole asked, finding it weird that Lawrence had shown up.

Lawrence shrugged. “I really wanted to participate in the kids 1 events, so I wanted to give it a try, even though I didn’t receive any invitation cards from the school.”

“There are no invitation cards for this activity, as it’s only for the parents of the students here,” Nicole explained, as a sense of awkwardness loomed over her.

She had not sent him an invitation, for there never was one to begin with.

“I know, so I came here to ask you about this. A godfather should qualify, right?”

Lawrence confidently asked.

To Lawrence, being a godfather was pretty much the closest thing to being a parent, and so, there was no reason for them to deny him entry.

This dismayed Nicole, whose lips twitched as she thought,1 Lawrence is playing word games.’ “Let’s go ask them.” Lawrence turned to the kindergarten teacher upon noticing that Nicole was not saying anything.

The teacher watched as they approached. She felt awkward after she had gotten to learn what Lawrence’s intentions were. However, upon considering Lawrence and Nicole’s reputation and the seemingly amicable relationship between Lawrence and the children, she had to agree.

After flashing Nicole a smile, Lawrence happily took Nolan inside.

“Dad, carry me.” Lana raised her arms, waiting for Jared to pick her up.

After Jared had lifted Lana up, she hooked her arms around his neck and said, “I only have one Dad.

Even though our godfather is here, it doesn’t count.”

Jared could not help but smile as he affectionately stroked Lana’s forehead.

Lana then let out a loud cackle, drawing the attention of everyone around her.

Their eyes were all brimming with admiration as they looked at Jared and Lana.

Nicole smiled and gently pinched Lana’s chubby cheeks.” Come on, we’re going in.”

“Daddy, let’s go.” Lana waved her tiny hand.

Jared carried Lana with one arm while holding Nicole’s hand in the other, after which the three of them entered the school, attracting everyone’s attention.

Even those who were admiring Lawrence and Nolan earlier could not help but be captivated by them.

“Alright, first of all, I’d like to welcome all parents to our parent-child event.

Please get a seat for yourselves. Our activities are about to begin,” the host teacher’s voice echoed.

Then, everyone scrambled to find themselves a chair.

“Dad, let’s sit over there.” Lana pointed, wanting to head over to where Lawrence and Nolan were.

Nicole’s family and Lawrence were side by side once they were all seated.

Interestingly, Lana’s voice seemed louder than usual, where she would constantly yell with deliberate emphasis on words like, “Dad” and “Godpa.” And as expected, such behavior left everyone around them bemused.

Defeated, Lawrence shot Lana a glance. “Lana, I’m just here to participate in your activities, not replace your Dad.”

Unexpectedly, not only was Lana not embarrassed, but she was also nodding vigorously to what Lawrence just said.” Well, no one can replace Dad.”

This amused Lawrence, who chuckled in response.

As the performances began, the children flocked to the stage one after another.

Nolan and Lana were also set to participate in several activities, so they left their seats pretty early on.

Following three consecutive performances was a stage play involving all of the children.

After changing into costumes, the children quickly gathered on the stage to play their parts. The fairy tale stage play was excellent, and the children performed exceptionally well, drawing thunderous applause and continuous praise from the crowd.

Once the play had concluded, the host teacher proceeded to announce, “Thank you, everyone. Next is our flower dedication segment. Kids, please present the flowers in your hands to your dearest parents.
