Chapter 1975

Author: Summer
At this time, Lawrence acted unfamiliar to Jared. He walked over and stretched out his hand. "Mr. Johnston, it's been a while."

Jared's face hardened. He did not extend his hand.

Nicole was surprised when she noticed the tension. "You guys know each other?"

'For the past five years, Leo had been taking care of me, but did they know each other?'

Jared's expression was stone cold. He smiled cruelly. "We're not just acquainted. He once helped me transport some things back to San Joto before... and now that my wife had gone missing, it was him who found her back for me."

'Jared's wife?' Nicole looked at Lawrence suspiciously, thinking that he would be taken aback but Lawrence looked calm.

"I'm afraid that there's been some misunderstanding between us two. Why don't we have a talk about it?"

Everyone in the room was stunned to see Lawrence and hearing what Jared had said, everyone left their food untouched. The butler cleared up the table and everyone moved to the living room and sat

    Lawrence noticed Jared's pained expression, and continued speaking. "But don't you think that amnesia is a good thing? At least it is for Nicole. She can forget how incompetent you were in protecting her, and all the terrible things from before. Now, she can live her life peacefully with her kid leading a normal life. I don't think that there was a need to tell you all this as I worry that you would find someone who looks like her to be her substitute. I don't want to ruin this for her." Lawrence was sincere in his words.Nicole looked in his eyes and her heart felt inexplicably conflicted. 'Lawrence was a guy that helped me through thick and thin for the past five years. I have no right to not believe his words, but to have me separated from my family for five years... this is....'"Shut up. It's between Nicole and I. You have no right to interfere with this!" Jared's eyes instantly turned cold. Jared knew that although he failed to protect Nicole before, he knew that she was a stro

    'Bullshit, respect!'"Don't use this nonsense to corner me. She's someone I love. How can I let her go so easily?"'Nicole, I won't ever let go, not ever.'Lawrence was overjoyed to see Jared's emotions coming to the surface. He could not help but smile wider. "It's your choice to make. I won't mind it anyway, but you should know that the prettiest looking fruits won't end up being the sweetest."Jared's face darkened. The entire Riddle family were looking at the two of them. Daniel looked at Lawrence with discontent. Everyone in the room was aware that Lawrence wanted to separate Jared and Nicole, not wanting them to have any chance of reconciliation.With a cold face, Daniel spoke up. "Everyone in this family agreed with this marriage. Coming as an outsider, you have no right to talk about this. I'd like to know from this gentleman here, what right did you have to keep my daughter hostage abroad for so many years, and five years at that? Letting her be unable to be reunited with

    For the past five years, Jared had been hating himself for not protecting Nicole well enough, and to the extent of blaming himself for letting the jet crash. It was one of his deepest regrets that left him living in pain every day. Jared had a clear conscience when it came to everyone else he had to deal with. However, when it came to Nicole, the guilt ate him up entirely knowing that he owed her a lot.Jared did not speak for a while, his eyes were filled with sadness. Nicole could not bear to look at him.On the other hand, Lawrence continued to attack Jared with his words that were sharp as knives. "I gave her the power to decide for herself when she woke up. I asked her if she wanted to come back here, but because of her son, she had to survive. She hadn't come back here for the past five years and for all these years, I was the one protecting her, not letting her get hurt even slightly."The last sentence Lawrence uttered out seemed to be him showing off of how well of a job he

    Gloria and Daniel relaxed when they saw Nolan was taking the initiative to take Lawrence around for a house tour.Lawrence took a glance at Nicole before he left. "You don't mind if I accompany him for a while, do you?"Noticing Lawrence's modest and polite manner; Nicole nodded in agreement.For the past five years, Lawrence would ensure that he asked her for her permission and would never force things on her that would make her uncomfortable."Go ahead. Nolan has been missing you these past few days." Nicole smiled at Lawrence, as if the two of them had an unspoken understanding.Onlookers would misjudge them as husband and wife. Jared, who was looking at this scene, felt even worse and directly blocked Lawrence from his sight. Jared grabbed Nicole by her arm and said, "Let's go back to our room."Jared emphasized on going back to their room on purpose, ensuring that Lawrence had heard him loud and clear, before leaving with Nicole."Oh yeah... Leo, feel free to do what you li

    "Of course." Jared nodded his head, eyes full of confidence.Lana smiled brightly. "Then, birth father, do you have money?"This sudden question stunned Nicole. 'Nolan and Lana are twins. They're both smart.'Jared raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Yes.""Then... birth father, do you have a big house?" Lana asked innocently, staring at Jared with her big eyes.Jared grinned confidently and replied, "Of course!"Jared carried Lana over to the balcony, before pointing to the manor next door. "That's the house I bought for your mother.""Wow!" Lana had her mouth agape, trying to maintain her composure. "Then... do you know kung fu?"Jared nodded. "Of course. Your father is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs."Lana smiled. "That's amazing!!! All the kids at kindergarten will be jealous that I have such an amazing father!"When Jared heard Lana's explanation, he could not help but laugh. 'How can a kid this young know how to show off? Kids these days are really

    Nicole reached out and patted the back of his hand. "It's all in the past."Nicole did not care if anyone around her was concerned about the matter."It's not." Jared slowly let go of her, pulling her wrists away and checking her wrists to see the scar on the tendon of her arm."Before this, you were able to do anything. Even I couldn't lay a finger on you, but now... you're much weaker in strength..." Jared looked at Nicole with a troubled look, before reaching out and tucking her hair behind her ear. Jared's action was so natural which caused Nicole to blush, but she did not shy away from it.Nicole felt relief in her heart, knowing that she did not jerk away from his touch."It's okay. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm at the age where I don't have to bother using any strength. Plus, now that I'm home, I doubt there'd be anyone who'd dare bully me."Jared had a dead set expression. "Whoever dares to hurt you again, I'll let them suffer the consequences."The serious look on Jare

    Jared's actions were smooth like butter. Nicole had almost believed that they were an old married couple.Lawrence noticed Jared's actions and copied them. He poured a glass of warm water for Nicole. "You should eat less of the raw food. It's not good for your health."Jared and Lawrence both looked at each other. If they were in a comic, one would see the lasers zapping out from their eye contact. Nicole wished the earth would open up and swallow her to get her away from all the embarrassment."Thanks, guys," Nicole said before lowering her head in embarrassment.However, the battle between these two men was not over yet. Jared served Nicole a bowl of soup. "Here, have some soup. It's more nutritious than water."Lawrence ignored Jared and gave Nicole a smile before putting some vegetables onto her plate. "Don't drink too much soup. Here, have some veggies."The jealousy between the two men made Nicole extremely uncomfortable.Jared was unwilling to admit defeat. He noticed a g

    Jared stared at the arm Nicole had broken away from. At that moment, he felt like he was the third wheel.Jared faked a smile and said, "In that case, you treat your guest well. I shall leave." After the words fell, Jared turned around and left.Seeing this, Lana started screaming, "Dad! Are you leaving?"Lana's aggrieved look made Jared and her uncles feel distressed when they saw her. Even if Jared was upset, he could only say, "I'll be right next door. You can come visit me if you want to, Lana.""Okay..." Lana nodded and pursed her mouth in an angry manner.Though Jared by nature was soft-hearted, the situation had forced him to leave temporarily. He needed time to sort out his emotions.Nicole watched Jared leave, thinking that she would be feeling relieved, but her heart was inexplicably heavy. Nicole stared at Jared with some reluctance in her eyes while Lawrence's eyes were filled with glee.Smiling, he said, "I'm sorry I made you guys fight about me."Nicole shook her

    "Let's go, it's time to head down. The ceremony will start soon."The group laughed and talked as they left the bridal suite. Jared and his friends, Spencer and Preston, were also guided out by everyone.Now, only the family of four remained in the bridal suite, getting ready for their big entrance."Mommy, it's almost time.

    Nicole laughed off the debate between Lulu and June, saying, "Both are lovely. I'm happy with either."Both sets of jewelry were beautiful, and she felt that either would do."Exactly. Nicole will shine in anything," Cindy said, picking a set. "Let's go with this one."Lulu gave June a victorious look. "Told you this was the one."Cindy then suggested, "Why not wear this for the ceremony and switch for the reception? That way, we use both.""Great idea," June agreed, smiling at Cindy's suggestion.Nicole smiled. "Sounds perfect."With everyone agreeing, the stylist went ahead with preparing Nicole.Lulu watched Nicole, amazed by how calm she seemed. "Aren't you a bit nervous?" she asked.

    "Do you think I don't want to meet someone? I just haven't found the right person," Gary said somewhat resignedly. He had long regarded Nicole as just a friend."Why don't we just try the dates our families set up?" Ryder suggested, calm and collected. He figured since finding someone on his own wasn't working, maybe arranged dates could help. In their circles, it seemed like good matches were meant to be."Arranged dates don't sound great. You hardly know the person. Are we really okay with deciding to spend our lives together like that?" Preston wasn't too keen on the idea."Emery's doing pretty well with it, you know," Ryder said confidently. "I trust our families. They wouldn't set us up with someone terrible. They've probably made sure we'd be a good match."Gary thought it over. "You might be right. Our families aren't just trying to make deals; they want us to be happy."As Gary and Ryder seemed more into the idea, Preston was still unsure. "You guys are serious?""Why not

    Jared held Nicole close and looked at her. "After we get married, we'll move to the estate," he said.Their future home would be just theirs.He thought it was good for Nicole to spend more time with her family since she hadn't been with them for five years. But they knew they would move to the estate later."Okay," Nicole said, nodding. She was happy Jared made the estate close to her family, so she was okay with moving.Jared gently touched her hair and kissed her...****Time flew, and soon it was Nicole and Jared's wedding day.From the morning, San Joto was alive with excitement.

    "You really need to rest. You shouldn't work for the next few days. Stay home and rest. A bride has to look her best," Gloria said, looking at Nicole and making the decision for her."Bride!" Nicole was surprised because she hadn't talked about any wedding yet."Yes, now that everything is settled, it's time for your wedding with Jared," Gloria said, deciding firmly. She used to think it was best for the kids to decide for themselves, but after several delays, she felt waiting longer made no sense. The wedding should happen soon."I was thinking that too," Jared said. They had planned the wedding after solving the Everett problem, but then they found out Lawrence had hurt Nicole in the past, causing more delays. Now, with everything sorted out, they saw no reason to wait. The wedding was the next big step.Nicole looked at Jared and, with a smile, agreed, "Okay." Their wedding had been waiting for five years; it was time, with no need to wait any longer."That's so cool, I'm the f

    Patricia felt a mix of reluctance and happiness as she prepared to part ways with Charlie.Jared glanced at Charlie and said, "It's about time for us to board." He tenderly held Nicole's hand and led her toward the boarding gate."I need to go through the boarding procedures too," Patricia said, biting her lip. "You must find happiness as well.""I will," Charlie assured her with a gentle smile, giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "You've grown up, too. You don't need to cling to me anymore. I believe Ellar will take great care of you."Patricia nodded, then, leaning closer to Charlie, she whispered, 'When Mr. Johnston and Ms. Riddle get married, make sure you bring my future sister-in-law back with you.' Caught off guard, Charlie playfully scolded her, "You little rascal."Doretta, standing not too far away, overheard Patricia's whispered words. Her cheeks turned even redder."Let's go," Patricia announced, then turned to Doretta, adding, "We'll meet again.""Goodbye,

    Lying in bed with Nicole cradled in his arms, Jared whispered gently, "Sleep for a bit.""Mhm." Finally feeling at peace, Nicole smiled slightly, and she quickly fell asleep.As Jared listened to her soft breathing, his eyes softened with affection, and he too closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.The next morning, as the group got ready to head back to San Joto, Zane and Doretta came to say goodbye."I still have things to finish here, but I promise to be at your wedding," Zane said with a big smile."And I'll be there to wish you well, Nicole," Doretta added.Saying goodbye is always hard, but everyone knew they had their own journeys to continue."Great, we'll see you in San Joto," Nicole said with a bright smile."It's time to go," Zane said, knowing they couldn't wait any longer without risking missing their plane."I've got the paperwork," Patricia said, ready to help with the travel documents for Jared and Nicole. Then, looking at Charlie, she asked, "Need help with

    Nicole was quiet, thinking about everything. 'If I hadn't remembered everything, maybe Lawrence and I could have stayed friends. But after finding out about the airport, it's impossible...'Not only had she regained her memory, but she had also learned about the airport incident. Lawrence had gone to great lengths to prevent her from returning to San Joto."Thanks for saving me before, but you also hurt me. We're even now," Nicole said calmly, looking at Lawrence like he was someone she didn't know anymore.Jared squeezed Nicole's hand gently. "Let's go."They decided to leave the rest to Zane and head back."Wait." Lawrence's voice stopped Nicole. He sounded almost like he was begging. "Please, don't tell Nolan about this."Nicole paused, then said, "I won't tell him. Not for you, but because I don't want Nolan to see how bad people can be."With that, Nicole walked away with Jared.Lawrence sat down, watching her leave, with mixed feelings."Let's go too," Patricia said to C

    "Your robots don't work anymore," a voice said, sounding very pleased. Then, a person came out from behind the crowd, looking pretty proud of himself."Carl!" Nicole was shocked to see him. 'It's Carl!'"It's been a while." Carl smiled and waved at Nicole.Carl had come as soon as Zane told him about the problem. He couldn't just do nothing when Nicole needed help.He didn't expect them to act so soon, which is why he was a little late. But he was still in time to help. Carl was surprised by Lawrence's robots at first, but luckily, the weapons he brought, which he had been working on for years, stopped the robots. This was a big help to everyone."We really need to thank Carl; we would have been in big trouble without him," Zane said, feeling relieved.Zane had asked Carl for help, hoping it would make them more likely to win, but Carl ended up being very important."Thank you," Nicole said with a warm smile. It was nice to see an old friend again."No need to thank me. I'm jus
