Chapter 1996
Nicole was on the verge of losing herself in the face of Jared's captivating smile. Her final sliver of sanity was reminding her that
she should be reacting with anger, but when she looked at Jared, she just could not shake the idea of letting her guard down.
Feeling shameful and frustrated within, she gritted her teeth and yelled, "You're moving back to the estate from today onwards!"
She could not allow him to linger here anymore because he was simply too dangerous for her. Before she could regain her
memories, she had to keep a distance from him.
"Freshen up." Jared dragged her to the bathroom, having changed the subject smoothly.
This left Nicole confused. 'What does this mean? Did he agree to it or not?'
She got freshened up and changed her clothes in a daze before leaving the room with Jared.
"Daddy." Lana's adorable voice echoed across the hallway as her tiny legs carried on a sprint toward Jared.
"Hey, Lana." Jared held Lana up with a doting look on his face, loving this thoughtful angel to the bone.
The edge of Nicole's mouth twitched. 'When did this little one like Jared more than she likes me? She greeted him and
did not even bother to acknowledge my existence.'
Nolan too felt very frustrated after he saw how Lana had switched sides completely. 'What's so good about Jared? How did Lana
accept him so quickly?'
"Let's go eat," Nicole suggested, not about to get mad at Lana.
Then, she grabbed Nolan's hand and went downstairs.
The two siblings never had a father, and they had always wished to have one. That was why Nolan called Lawrence his
godfather. Still, Lana had never displayed any sort of affection toward Lawrence. Jared was the only person Lana would do all
these things to thus far.
"Mommy, I didn't get to ask you this yesterday. How did your date with Godpa? Did you have a good time?" Nolan intentionally
raised his voice, making it louder when he uttered the word, "date".
It had taken him much effort to give out the information to Lawrence, and Lawrence had cooperated with him and taken action
too. He really hoped that Nicole and Lawrence could be together as he wished.
"Don't spout nonsense. We just had some work-related matters to discuss." Nicole said. 'What date is he talking about? Nolan is
getting more and more outrageous.'
"Yeah. Mommy will only go on a date with Daddy." Lana unhappily said.
She could not understand why her brother had to act like this when it was clear that it was better for them to have their biological
father. Indeed, she had been longing to reunite with Jared.
"What do you know?" Nolan became a little frustrated as he thought to himself. 'Godfather is the best.'
"Hmph. I know everything." Lana scoffed haughtily and shifted her gaze to Jared. "Daddy, would you go on a date with Mommy
too?"
Lana thought that it would only be right for Jared and Nicole to date. That was something that she wanted to see too.
"Sure." Jared agreed and he was delighted to have a thoughtful daughter like Lana.
In response, Nicole glowered at Jared. 'Sure? How could he agree with her without even giving it any thought? Is he not going to
ask for my opinion at least?'
Having seen through her thoughts, Jared deliberately said," I'm sorry, Lana. I don't think your Mommy wants to do that."
"Mommy, please go on a date with Daddy." Lana pleaded, feeling so disappointed that she looked as if she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Nicole became so furious that she gritted her teeth. 'Jared is such a despicable man for pulling this trick on me.'
