Nicole let out a sigh as she watched the twins walk into the kindergarten. "When we were still on Crescent Island, they always envied other kids who were dropped off and picked up by their parents. Who knew that when we returned home, they'd get to experience it too!""Of course, it's different. They have a mommy and a daddy now. They have no need to envy other children." Jared gently held Nicole in his arms as he comforted her.Nicole glanced at the kindergarten once more. The twins were holding their friends' hands and playing happily. Nicole unconsciously smiled. 'Yeah, it does feel a little different from Crescent Island.'The car's engine revved up and they made their way to Riddle Corporation. When they arrived, Nicole got out of the car and noticed Lulu running towards her.Nicole smiled as she walked closer to Lulu.Lulu bombarded her friend with questions. "How was it? Did you find out what Everett did?"Nicole smiled and shook her head. "Let's go inside and talk."'Thi
"Don't worry about them for now," said Nicole. "They'll most probably be in a mess for the next few days."It was obvious that Harvey was not helping Everett this time around. Nicole was a little curious as to whether the two of them would still collaborate in the future.From the looks of it, Everett seemed to be obeying Harvey's orders. However, Everett was not someone that easily manipulated. He had a mind of his own.Perhaps Harvey could tell that Everett was just flattering him. In fact, Everett was using Harvey's power. Therefore, Harvey purposely agreed to Everett's request but did not bother about the matter. Harvey wanted to use this incident as a warning to Everett.Nicole thought it would be weird if these two could succeed in collaborating. Nonetheless, this was good news to her.Her mind at ease, Lulu then responded, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my desk.""Alright, go ahead." Nicole nodded, and Lulu turned around to leave the office.Leaning on the chai
It was only then that Raine was satisfied. She looked up at James and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you. You're the best!"James lightly patted Raine's shoulder. "Everything's fine, as long as you're okay. Go ahead.""Okay." Raine nodded and left.James followed after her.What Raine had not realized was that the gentle side of James had disappeared a long time ago.That afternoon, the sun shone brightly.KNOCK, KNOCK.Hearing a knock on her door, Nicole frowned. "Come in."It was lunch break. Who could it be?The door opened and Ellar entered merrily. "Nicole, it's me!"Seeing him, Nicole smiled. "Oh, it's you! Have a seat.""Sure!" Ellar sat down on the sofa beside her."What were you trying to say when you were acting mysterious?" Ellar did not want to mention it the day before, so he purposely visited her at the company."Of course, I have good news!" Ellar smiled and said proudly, "I've secured an international project!"Nicole nodded. "That's great news! Congratula
Nicole had not figured things out, so she could not reveal it to Ellar yet.Ellar did not give it much thought and continued to ask, "Oh yeah, I heard Spencer had a junior who caused a lot of trouble. Is everything settled now?""As long as Spencer and Lulu are fine, that girl wouldn't be able to stir anything up." Nicole's eyes narrowed. As long as their relationship was stable, Icyln would not be able to do much even if she was still in love with Spencer."That girl doesn't seem to be as meek as she appears to be." Ellar smirked, pitying Spencer. "How did Spencer come across such a junior? Haa..."Nicole rolled her eyes at Ellar. "You should stop worrying about other people's love life. Put more effort into your own.""I'm not in a rush. After all, I still have my brother before me." Ellar shrugged his shoulders as if he did not care. Emery was still single, so why should he be worried? After all, his current focus was on the company.He wanted to build BayCorp on his own and s
"Spencer is lucky to have you." Ellar took a few steps away and waited at the side.Lulu was not in the mood to care about what Ellar was talking about either. She was only worried about Spencer and wished for him to be safe.And just like that, they were standing outside of the emergency room.10 minutes, half an hour, one hour later...Finally, the doors to the emergency room opened. The doctor stepped out, and Lulu quickly ran over."How is he, doctor?""The patient suffered minor injuries. His condition is better now, but he'll need to rest a bit more," the doctor explained."Thank God." Lulu heaved a huge sigh of relief. At this moment, she suddenly felt the exhaustion of her body.Seeing Lulu about to collapse, Ellar reached out his arms to support her. "Spencer's fine now, but you're not.""I'm fine. I was just too excited for a moment." Lulu regained her composure. Then, she peeked inside the emergency room and waited for Spencer to be brought out.After a while, the
"How could you get injured at work?" Gloria was confused, especially since Spencer was not at a high-risk job.Accidents can happen," Spencer justified.Lulu could tell that Spencer was not willing to talk more about it, so she tried to save the situation. "Aunt Gloria, why don't we let him rest in the room first?"Hearing this, Gloria stopped questioning and said, "Yes, we should let him rest first."Lulu helped Spencer upstairs, while Gloria followed behind.When they reached the first floor, Samuel, who had heard the commotion, came out from his room. As he saw Spencer, Samuel teased and said, "Are you trying to be like me?""My condition isn't as serious as yours." Spencer rolled his eyes at Samuel and entered his room.Gloria warned Samuel angrily, "You better stay away. He's already injured, and you still have the mood to joke around!""Mom, don't worry. His injuries don't look serious at all." Samuel shrugged his shoulders. What injury could Spencer suffer from playing t
At the time of the accident, Spencer had already managed to pull Icyln away. He was sure that neither of them suffered severe injuries. So why would Icyln's condition be this serious?Icyln's personal assistant choked for a second, paused for a moment and continued speaking. "Mr. Spencer, could you come over and visit Icyln now? I'm worried that if something happens, I won't be able to make any decisions.""Uh..." Spencer was hesitant, but what if Icyln was really in a serious situation?However, Lulu had already taken over his phone and spoke calmly. "First of all, you're going to find the doctor now. Then, follow whatever arrangement and decisions the doctor makes. Secondly, Spencer is also injured and requires rest. Even if he were to be there, there's not much he can do. Lastly, if you really must have someone there, I'll be there to represent Spencer.""In that case... it's fine. I'll get the doctor for now," the personal assistant replied, voice quavering before she hung up t
"Sure. Then we won't keep you any longer." Gloria then called the butler and instructed him, "Get the driver to take Lulu home, please.""Of course," he responded and left to make the arrangements.Lulu initially wanted to decline, but the butler had already left, so she expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Mrs. Riddle.""No need for formalities. We're going to be family!" Gloria smiled affectionately.With the car prepared, Lulu left the Riddle residence.The remaining people also went back to their rooms.After coaxing Nolan and Lana to sleep, Nicole and Jared returned to their own room."You look tired. Why don't you take a relaxing hot bath?" Jared suggested as he prepared the bathwater, inviting her to unwind.Nicole smiled tenderly when she saw everything was set up, including the bubble bath and scented candles. "Thank you."Jared ruffled her hair lovingly. "Take your time and relax."As Jared left, Nicole undressed and lowered herself into the bathtub.Lying comforta
