Hearing this, Nicole seemed to have a thought. She asked Lulu, "If you really want to switch jobs, would you be willing to jump ship and work for our company?""Riddle Corporation?" Lulu was so stunned that her mouth gaped wide open. This was something she dared not even dream of."If you want, you can report to work at our office on Monday. But if you don't want to, I won't force you either. You can make this decision yourself." Nicole shrugged her shoulders and spoke calmly."Alright, I'll think about it carefully," Lulu answered solemnly.June rolled her eyes at Lulu in annoyance. "You're only thinking about it?"The Riddle Corporation was not a company where anyone could just join. Now that Nicole had given the invitation, Lulu should have just accepted it. She was actually going to think about it first?Lulu scratched her head awkwardly. "I just thought of going through some professional books later when I head back. If I see any potential in this, then I'll go for it. Other
It was still early. Nicole was a little reluctant when she was woken up by her daughter. "Lana, it's too early."This little one would stay in bed when she had to go to school, but she could wake up this early during the weekends."But I'm so excited that I can't sleep anymore!" Lana did not feel any sense of guilt. In fact, she was determined.Jared got up and carried Lana up. "Alright, I'll help you get ready. We'll let mommy sleep for a bit more. Is that okay?""Okay," Lana agreed happily. She was extremely satisfied.Nicole's lips twitched. 'This little one did not come here for me at all.'However, Nicole really did not have a good sleep, and it was too early in the morning. After Jared had carried Lana out of the room, Nicole pulled the blanket over herself and continued sleeping.When Nicole woke up once again, she found the two little ones staring at her while resting their chins in their palms.Nicole was instantly tickled with joy by that sight. She could not help it
"I did it with daddy too!" Lana was very happy to be praised. She hugged Jared's arm to emphasize that point. She seemed to be waiting for Nicole to praise Jared as well.Nicole was laughing while covering her face. She could only utter a word of gratitude. "Thank you."She really did not know what to praise Jared for. It seemed no matter what she said, it would seem weird."It's my job. You're welcome." Jared looked at Nicole and gave a devilish smile.Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared. 'Can't this guy speak normally?'Lana covered her mouth and giggled. She secretly sneaked a wink to Jared. It was as if she was saying, 'Go, daddy, go!'Jared looked at Lana lovingly. Then, he lifted his hand and patted Lana on the head.Nolan could not help but roll his eyes at Lana. He crossed his arms in front of his chest with an angry look on his face, as if he was a little adult.Unsatisfied, Lana looked at Nolan and raised her chin at him. After that, she proceeded to hug Jared's arm tight
"Go get the bag." Jared held Nicole's hand and took the bag they had prepared out of the car. He then walked toward the garden with Nicole."Since you want to spend time with the kids, I'm going to leave them in your hands." Jared walked past Lawrence and left him this remark before leaving with Nicole.Lawrence immediately turned into stone. 'So he became a nice guy because he wanted me to look after the kids?!'Nicole also realized this and could not help but look at Jared. "Jared, you're the father of Nolan and Lana," she whispered.'Is it really okay to leave the responsibility to Lawrence like this?'"He is also their Godpa," Jared said nonchalantly. Besides, Lawrence said that he would accompany the children as well.Jared casually left out Lawrence's mention of "them", which, most importantly, included Nicole."Jared, I never knew you were so petty," Nicole said. She was rather speechless as she shot him a disdainful look."Actually, I've always been petty, you just don'
"Mommy, I want to play with Godpa." Nolan saw that Nicole wanted Lawrence to leave, but he did not want Lawrence to go."Nolan." Nicole felt defeated as he pulled them together. 'Godpa also has his own things to do.""Daddy just said that Godpa is resting too," Lana said innocently.Nicole's lips twitched slightly. 'Does Lana want Lawrence to stay as well?'She could not help but shake her head when she happened to catch a glimpse of Lana smiling brightly at Jared. 'This little girl is too cheeky. Did she inherit Jared's deviousness?'"Go home, Lawrence. We'll take care of the kids." Nicole made a firm decision. Regardless of Nolan and Lana's intentions, she had to make Lawrence leave.This was the only way she could ensure that no one would have any ulterior motives.Looking at Nicole's gaze, Lawrence understood that he had no other choice but to agree. "Sure."'There's probably no point in staying here now. I'll just find another chance next time.'With a smile, he said, "I
Watching the two children eat happily, a trace of amusement flashed in Jared's eyes as he handed a fruit box to Nicole. "Have some."Nicole felt inexplicably guilty because of what happened earlier. Though she knew that there was nothing wrong with having a meal with a friend, she could not help but feel nervous in front of Jared."Daddy, why didn't you find us earlier? If you had found us earlier, we could've played on the island together," Lana said while eating, not forgetting to question Jared.'If Daddy had found us earlier, he could've taken us out to play and enjoy some delicious food. That would've been awesome.'Jared's mood was already gloomy because of Lawrence, but he had no reason to blame Nicole. After all, she did not remember him. However, Lana's words made his heart ache."I've been looking for you all this time." Jared's gaze dimmed and his voice became hoarse.He had never given up searching for them for the last five years, but Nicole seemed to have vanished f
"Daddy spent a long time doing this, but I helped too," Lana said proudly when she saw how much Nicole was enjoying it.Nicole patted Lana's head affectionately. "Thank you so much.""But Daddy did most of the work. Aren't you going to thank him too?" Lana asked with a smile.Nicole felt a little helpless as she thought inwardly. 'I should've never given Lana a chance to speak.'"It's fine. I enjoy cooking for Mommy very much." Jared handed the dessert without coffee powder to Nolan and Lana and said, "This is yours.""Thank you, Daddy," Lana said and lifted her chin toward Nicole as if to say, 'Mommy, this is how you do it.'"Thank you, Uncle Jared." Nolan was very irritated, so he deliberately said the word 'uncle' loudly.Everyone paused for a moment. Then, Nicole softly bit her lip, trying to suppress her laughter. 'I guess Jared is both happy and frustrated to have these two children.'"Why are you smiling?" Jared leaned closer to Nicole and said in an enchanting voice as
"Mr. Lawrence, are you heading to the Genesis Group?" Ian asked in a quiet voice."I'm going to Happiness Trading," Lawrence replied in a cold tone.Ian paused. "Happiness Trading? Aren't they in a conflict with the Johnston Group?"'Why does he want to go there now?'"Well, only the strong ones will prevail in business competitions." A hint of darkness flashed across Lawrence's eyes as he spoke. Since Jared loved to ruin his plans so much, he would take away Jared's ability to do that."Got it," Ian said. He drove toward the office of Happiness Trading.The setting sun cast a warm glow in the sky.After Jared, Nicole, Nolan, and Lana spent the entire day outside, they went back to the Riddle residence happily.As they entered the house, they found out that Daniel and Gloria were not there. Only Stanley, Samuel, and Spencer were present.Nicole could not help but ask curiously, "Where's Mom and Dad?""Grandpa suddenly wanted to see them," Stanley replied.Nicole widened her
