Chapter 2798

"How much longer are you planning to take care of him?" Charlie frowned and asked unhappily.

"His injury hasn't healed yet," Patricia replied.

She did not wish to discuss something for which the outcome was uncertain, so she changed the subject at once. "What brought you here? Do you need anything?"

Even though Charlie was just passing by, Patricia knew he was not someone with too much free time to waste. If there was not something important, he would likely not even bother to turn up.

"I just came to check on you," Charlie said after glancing at Patricia. "The investigation is ongoing, and there are no concrete results yet."

"Since that's the case, you should carry on with your work. I'll be fine here. Besides, I'm not the one injured, so I don't need anyone to take care of me," Patricia reminded Charlie.

Charlie felt somewhat helpless in the face of her words, but it was true; he did not have a lot of time to spare. The only reason he came here was to tell Patricia that she wou

    Jared lifted Lana up and made his way to the couch, his eyes filled with tenderness."We're home," he greeted Daniel and Gloria as soon as he had sat down with Lana.After a while, Nicole came over with Nolan and joined them on the couch.After glancing around, she asked, "Mom, is Stanley not back yet?""No, he said there's a seminar tonight, so he won't be back for dinner," Gloria explained. "There's no need to wait for Stanley. Let's go ahead and eat.""Okay," they agreed, whereupon the group headed to the dining room, save for the twins, who tottered their way upstairs while the four adults had their dinner."I heard Ellar got injured. What happened?" Daniel asked Nicole.As expected, the sudden question from her father surprised Nicole. "Dad, how did you know?!"She had not told anyone except for those present on the day of the incident. Thus, she was surprised that Daniel had gotten wind of it."I overheard Samuel mentioning it, but when I asked for details, he refused to

    Moreover, if the truth was revealed now, it might affect Cherry's departure, and all of her efforts would be in vain as a result."You better not ask Nicole about this. She might not know as much as you think. It's better to wait for Stanley to come back and then have him invite Cherry over. We'll know the answers to everything we want to know," Daniel advised Gloria, as he noticed that Nicole seemed reluctant to discuss the topic of Stanley's relationship."Alright, let's get Stanley to bring Cherry over. She hasn't visited for a while," Gloria agreed.Once the father and daughter duo had spoken to Gloria, her attention had been successfully diverted, and she stopped pressuring Nicole any further into revealing the truth about Stanley and Cherry.Nicole then smiled at Daniel, appreciating that her father had helped her out. He did not want to put her in a difficult position, so he had come up with a diplomatic solution that satisfied both sides."Let's eat." Daniel nodded with a

    Upon hearing this, Nolan suddenly looked up at Nicole, his eyes wide and his face pale."Mommy..."And after a moment of hesitation, Nolan whispered, "Mommy, I'm tired. I want to go to sleep.""Okay," Nicole nodded and patted him on the back. "Go take a shower first."After Nolan had walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him, Nicole turned to Jared and said, "You should take Lana to her room and get her ready for bed too.""Mommy, why does Nolan look upset?" Lana asked with concern after sensing Nolan's sudden change in mood."It's nothing. He is just tired. A good night's sleep will help," Nicole explained.Jared then picked Lana up and said, "It's late. We should go to sleep too."After Jared had brought Lana out of the room, Nicole sighed softly.She had anticipated that Nolan would eventually figure it out, but she did not expect it to happen so soon."Mommy..."Nolan came out after taking a quick shower, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment as he ask

    "He's very intelligent, so it's not unnatural for him to be able to figure it out." Jared looked at Nicole with a smile.Nicole bit her lip and hesitated for a moment. "He suspects that it's Lawrence."Jared narrowed his eyes, not surprised to hear that Lawrence might be the one behind this again."But what does Lawrence want exactly?" Nicole muttered, unable to pinpoint the end game he had in mind this time.Even if he wanted to get Nolan to do something for him through a game, the question as to why he specifically enlisted Nolan still remained. The boy was ultimately still a five-year-old child, even though he was a genius for one.In the same vein, there were many other prolific hackers who were far more skilled and capable than Nolan, and with them around, Lawrence had no reason to seek Nolan out for help. Apart from his interest and aptitude in hacking, Nolan was not very different from other children.At this age where they were supposed to be playful and mischievous, they

    Just as Jared laid down, Nicole's arm reached over and landed on Jared's chest. She was leaning toward him as if she had sensed his presence.Smirking, Jared embraced Nicole affectionately and gently kissed her on the forehead before going to sleep.The next day, the sunlight was brilliant and warm. After breakfast, Tia came over to get the kids and send them to school.Jared and Nicole were ready to leave for work as well, but as Stanley was about to walk out the door, Gloria stopped him."Stanley, invite Cherry to have dinner at home tonight," Gloria ordered without stopping to ask for Stanley's opinion.She knew very well that Stanley would refuse if she had asked him."Mom, I don't think that's possible," Stanley frowned, feeling awkward and uncomfortable."Why not? Did the two of you really get into an argument? No wonder she hasn't been around lately," Gloria assumed, and her mind began coming up with all sorts of possibilities.Stanley was rendered speechless as he rubbe

    Stanley looked at Nicole, stunned, unsure of how to respond to her. The situation between him and Tia had become so confusing and convoluted that he could not understand it either. Since the night when they accidentally kissed, Tia had been avoiding him. He could also feel that Tia had been keeping her distance from him."If Tia genuinely doesn't like you, she wouldn't have felt uncomfortable just now. She's probably just uncertain about her feelings. You should try being more direct with her. It's the best course of action for the both of you," Nicole said meaningfully, and gave Stanley a pat on the back."I should be more direct?" Stanley asked, and gave Nicole a frown. "But it would be too sudden for Tia.""If you don't take the initiative in relationships, someone else will," Nicole pointed out. 'If Stanley does not make the first move, what else can he expect? Is he waiting for Tia to take the first step?'Tia had always felt that she was inferior to Stanley. This much was obv

    "I am the interim secretary assigned to help you out. I will be replacing Patricia until she returns," the secretary explained.Upon hearing this, Nicole understood that Jared must have assigned this secretary to help her out with the tasks that Patricia had always handled. The fact that she had shown up to sort through the documents was the reason as to why Nicole had thought for a second that Patricia was back.As it turned out, Jared had hired someone who mirrored her and Patricia's work habits and patterns. Everything was set up exactly like when Patricia was still here, which in turn made things easier for her.Feeling a sense of warmth and appreciation in her heart, Nicole smiled.She then instructed the secretary, "Alright. There's nothing here for now. You may leave.""Yes," the secretary said, and left the room thereafter.Nicole walked to her desk, grabbed the stack of files with a look of amusement, and began working in a good mood. With Jared's arrangements, Nicole fe

    "Yeah, they won't stay mad at you for long once they know that you're happy and doing well for yourself," June chimed in.After all, most parents had only one wish for their children – for them to be happy and successful."Yes, I will," Cherry nodded.She knew her parents wanted nothing but the best for her, and she was willing to make concessions with everything except for her relationship. Once she had set her mind to being committed to one particular, she would absolutely not settle with others. Unlike other people, this was a compromise she would never make."Alright, here's to your happiness," Lulu said, raising her glass first."Thank you," Cherry responded, and lifted her glass as well.Others then followed suit, toasting to Cherry and wishing her well for the years to come. But like every farewell toast, this one carried a tinge of sadness too, and the atmosphere soon became less festive.After putting their glasses down, Cherry motioned for everyone to start digging in.

    "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
