Chapter 2742

Author: Summer
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' 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 s

    "Mummy! Daddy!" All of the kids cheered, and gave the flowers they had to their parents.All of the other children had two flowers each, with the exception of Nolan and Lana, who had three flowers instead. After they had gifted the flowers to Jared and Nicole, they each gave Lawrence one, shocking him."Thank you, Godpa," Nolan and Lana said, and hugged him,Lawrence had a conflicted look on his face as he embraced the two little ones.He gently patted the kids on their backs and thanked them, "I'm the one who should be thanking you."As the performance continued, Lawrence sat there absentminded and lost in thought."Leo?" Nicole called out upon noticing how unusual he looked."I'll get going first. I've got a few things to settle. Do inform the kids about my departure," Lawrence requested, and hurried out of the venue.Safe to say, Lawrence's sudden departure left a strange feeling in Nicole's stomach. 'Lawrence seemed to have some kind of motive for coming here today. He wasn

    "Well, of course you can," Nicole promised.Hearing Nicole's promise, Nolan added, "What about some ice cream?""You can have that too," Nicole agreed.Then, she turned to Max and ordered, "Let's go to a hamburger restaurant.""Sure thing," Max replied, and drove them to the nearest highway. As soon as he spotted a hamburger joint, he pulled up in front of it.The family got out of the car, entered the restaurant, and ordered two sets of hamburger and ice cream, which the kids enjoyed. As for the couple, they had only bought some fresh fruit juice for themselves.While sipping on her glass of apple juice, Nicole caught sight of two peculiar figures near their car. 'Wait, what's up with that?'Nicole was perplexed at the sight of Cherry locking hands with a man, both of whom were smiling from ear to ear. As the news from this morning was still fresh in her mind, she could not help but wonder what was going on."What are you looking at?" Jared asked, noticing Nicole's fixation on

    With a plop, the pasta fell back onto the plate as Nicole snapped back to reality."Don't get nervous. You'll get to decide the time," Jared teased with a smile.Nicole blushed in embarrassment. "I'm not nervous. It's just that it felt so sudden."Jared had never mentioned the wedding preparations to Nicole, who thought it was still in the process. Thus, she was rather shocked to be informed that everything was ready."Everything has been ready for a while now," Jared said softly.Nicole lightly bit her lip, realizing that Jared had indeed waited on her for quite a while. Due to their current circumstances, it would not be wise for them to carry the wedding ceremony out. They had yet to neutralize Lawrence and Everett, and now, the sudden emergence of the Eastern Falcon had only added to their laundry list of threats to be dealt with.All of these groups and individuals had their eyes on the couple, so Nicole thought it was best for her to wait a little longer.Even then, she co

    "Oh, you're at home," Gloria was surprised when she saw Jared and Nicole walking down the flight of stairs with the kids.She waved to the kids and said, "Come to Grandma!""Grandma!" Nolan and Lana responded, and sprinted toward Gloria.Nicole and Jared soon caught up and sat down on the couch next to Gloria. "Dad? Mom? Did you guys visit Grandpa?""Yes, we just came back from his place. Your grandfather wanted to have dinner with us, but we've declined his invitation. We wanted to come back and have dinner with you," Daniel explained."Is Grandpa alright?" Nicole asked with concern."He's fine. But it's taking quite some time for him to let go of things," Daniel sighed.This was inevitable. Fortunately for them, Benjamin's current condition was relatively stable, which was a relief to them."It will get better with time," Nicole reassured, knowing her parents were worried for Benjamin.Fortunately, the old man had done his best to remain composed and rational. Although he wa

    "What's she up to?" Nicole frowned. 'Is Cherry using Stanley as a shield?'"It's just a deal between us. She's getting her visa. But there are some problems causing the delay," Stanley admitted, relieved after sharing his dirt with Nicole.Nodding, Nicole instantly understood Cherry's plan, as well as Stanley's. "You're using her to stop the inflow of dates Mom's setting up for you?""You can say that, but you're not entirely correct," Stanley replied."What do you mean by not entirely?" Nicole asked, becoming even more confused.It was obvious that Cherry was using Stanley as a smokescreen to lull her family into a false sense of security until her visa was approved. After that, she would leave the country with her real boyfriend.However, Nicole could still not figure out Stanley's motive in this deal. Once Cherry had left, his family would still pressure him into getting married. This much would be true."She's helping me," Stanley murmured. "It's between Tia and I.""You an

    Nicole then wondered, 'I guess only Stanley with his thick skull would think Tia has feelings for someone. How could he not notice that Tia has no men around her?'"What are you thinking about?" Jared's voice blared out from behind her.Looking up, Nicole asked, "Are the kids asleep?""Yeah," Jared replied, and sat down next to Nicole.He held her hand, and went on to ask, "You look like you've got something on your mind. What's going on?""Ugh." Nicole sighed, and she proceeded to tell Jared about Stanley and Cherry's situation.After hearing her out, he calmly replied, "They didn't look like a couple at all.""How did you notice?" Nicole frowned, puzzled that the situation had gone unnoticed by her."They look like friends, or even siblings. Compare them to Samuel and Spencer. You'll see what I'm talking about," Jared explained, shrugging his shoulders.And indeed, he knew full well how couples interacted in contrast with how siblings and friends did.After thinking about i

    If Harvey was not so obsessed with ruining Nicole's life and flexing, they would not have gotten a chance to make a move."But it's best for you to be more careful. Harvey is still capable of pulling tricks." Nicole advised."Don't worry. I got it." Lulu replied solemnly."Yeah." Nicole nodded.She would always have faith in Lulu, but she figured that she should still offer her some advice.After a slight pause, Lulu lowered her voice, "Oh right, there's another thing. Harvey seems to be in contact with Thomas recently. I'm not sure what he is up to now again.""Thomas?" Nicole frowned.Thomas had been undergoing treatment abroad, and he seemed to be doing well, so it was strange that Harvey would contact him out of the blue."That's right. Do you think he's planning something? I mean, he had never seemed to care about Thomas in the past." Lulu said."It's possible." Nicole agreed.Indeed, Harvey's sudden attention for Thomas had made it obvious that he had a motive.The onl

    Harvey was brimming with happiness as he whispered to Lewis, "You may start preparing...""Understood," Lewis whirled around and walked out of the office.Harvey then grinned as if he was anticipating something grand and sinister.On the other end, Thomas was staring at his phone with a heavy heart.He did turn down Harvey's suggestion, but for some reason, he was still riddled with feelings of unease. Based on his understanding of his grandson, Harvey was not the kind who would give up until he had gotten what he wanted. Therefore, Thomas was genuinely worried about him.Previously, he had gone toe-to-toe with Jared over Nicole, which ended up with Harvey losing.In a way, Nicole's disappearance was a blessing in disguise in that it had gotten Harvey to quit messing with the Riddles. Had that not been the case, there would be no telling if Ellison Group would still exist today. At this point, Thomas could not help but wonder what had given Harvey the balls and the confidence to

    "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. Let's get ready," Nolan said, pulling on Nicole's hand.Nicole gently patted Nolan and Lana's cheeks, whispering, "Okay."As she made to stand, Jared extended his hand toward her. Lifting her gaze, she caught Jared in a moment of elegance, his charm unmistakable. A smile bloomed on her face as she placed her hand in his.With a gentle tug, Jared drew her up, his touch tender against her palm.In a swift move, he pulled Nicole into his arms, his other hand circling her waist to pull her close.As Jared looked at Nicole, admiration shimmered in his eyes. "You look truly beautiful today," he remarked."Daddy, Mommy is beautiful every day," Lana chimed in, til

    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. Lulu remembered her own wedding jitters.Nicole bit her lip, a hint of nerves showing. "I'm more excited than anything," she admitted.She had been looking forward to this day, ready to face the future with Jared with hope and joy."Just finished," the stylist announced, stepping back to adm

    "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. Everyone was talking about Jared and Nicole's wedding.Politicians, business leaders, close friends, and business partners all came to wish the couple well.The Riddles were busy welcoming the guests, making everything look amazing."Patricia, hurry up, Charlie's here," Ellar called out as he spotted Charlie. He quickly got Patricia to come and greet him. Max, hearing the fuss, came over too.C

    "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
