Chapter 2048
He watched as the trio walked further away, eventually disappearing at the entrance, well away from sight. The air
was cold around Lawrence, and he kept quiet, with nobody able to tell what was on his mind.
Concurrently, Jared got into the car with Nicole and Nolan outside of the restaurant.
Nolan quickly scooted over to the furthest end of the seat after Jared had released him, looking slightly awkward.
'It's such a weird feeling. I kind of hate this guy, but I felt something that I cannot explain when he was carrying me
just now.'
Nicole bit her lips when she saw Jared igniting the engine." Do you have someone or something to tend to? I can
take Nolan home myself, actually."
He had probably left Max behind because he needed Max to take his place in a meeting. At the same time, Nicole
became cognizant of why Jared had showed up at the restaurant. Mixed feelings arose within her when she realized

"Nolan had one too many cold drinks yesterday, so he ended up with an upset stomach when he was at school. He
contacted Lawrence. Well, he's probably just used to it because he would contact Lawrence whenever something
happened back then."
Nicole bit her lips again. She figured that she should offer Jared an explanation, but she carefully kept Nolan's plan a
secret.
Jared and Nolan did not have the best father and son relationship, so she did not want to create more conflicts
between the two of them.
"There won't be any cold drinks or food in the house from now on," Jared responded.
Since the kids should not be consuming them, there was no reason for cold food and drinks to exist in the house. It
would be impossible for the kids to resist the temptation.
Nicole's lips twitched as she did not expect Jared to do such a thing.
Nolan put on a pitiful look as well. 'It's not like I can't eat them at all, I just can't eat too much of it! There goes my
happiness.'
Jared looked really upset at that time, so all of them remained silent and kept to themselves.
Jared shot them a glance through the rear-view mirror, squinting his eyes. He believed that Nicole was speaking the
truth, although it was a far cry from the full story. However, he understood what Nicole was trying to do, so he
chose to let Nolan off the hook.
When they got home, Gloria and Daniel were shocked to see Nolan, who had returned all of a sudden. "Why is
Nolan back so early? Where's Lana? Why have you only taken Nolan
home?"
"He's not feeling well, so we took him home to get some rest. We'll pick Lana up from school when she's done with
her classes." Jared said, maintaining his composure.
Still, Gloria was worried. "Which part is hurting, Nolan?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCome and let Grandma have a look."
"Grandma, I'm fine now." Nolan bowed his head and comforted Gloria when he noticed how worried Gloria was.
He did not expect this to happen. He just wanted his godfather and his mother's date to be a success. He figured
that his godfather would emerge victorious if he could win Nicole over. However, he did not expect so many people
to be worried about him.
"We can't take this lightly. Let's get a doctor to check on him, " Gloria said, about to contact a doctor.
"Mom, we've already taken him to a doctor. The doctor said he will be fine if he gets some rest. It's time for his nap
now too, so let's just give him some time to rest," Nicole reassured.
Gloria then agreed, and replied, "Okay then, let him get some sleep."
"Sure, I'll take him upstairs." Nicole then left the living room with Nolan.
"Jared, if Nolan and Lana need help next time, just let us know. We know you're both extremely busy with work, so
just leave them to us," Daniel offered, feeling bad for both
Jared and Nicole.
They had to work and take care of their children at the same time, which was really taxing.
"Sure, we will ask for your help if we can't handle it." Jared agreed as he knew that they would feel worse if he did
not.
