Chapter 2596
As Nicole woke up and opened her eyes, she looked at the person sleeping beside her and smiled. Staring at Jared's
face, Nicole hesitantly leaned in to give a peck on his cheek. She then chuckled quietly and started to get out of
bed.
Unexpectedly, an arm caught her by the waist as she got up. With a gentle pull, Jared held Nicole back in his arms.
Before Nicole could react, Jared had flipped her over and pinned her down.
With a meaningful gaze, Jared said, "Aren't you going to do something about it after waking it up?"
"What thing? I'm getting out of bed." Nicole's face was flushed as she tried to push Jared away.
"Well, I'll show you." Jared lowered his head and started kissing Nicole.
The couple only went downstairs during breakfast. Deep down, Nicole blamed Jared for her sore back, but

At the dining table, the food was already prepared, and everyone had been seated.
When everyone had arrived, Daniel gestured to the meal." Let's eat,"
After breakfast, Tia came over to take the kids to their kindergarten.
"Tia, we're going to pick the kids up later at Mr. Johnston Sr.' s," Nicole informed.
"Oh, alright. Noted,” Tia replied.
"Aunty Tia, we should get going now," Nolan said, holding Lana's hand.
"Sure thing. Come on." Tia smiled and took the kids with her.
Stanley gazed at that retreating figure with a dark expression before moving his gaze away. Nicole coincidentally
noticed this and did not know what motives Stanley had to behave like this.
"Let's go," Jared said, holding Nicole's hand and pulling her back to reality.
Nicole nodded slightly and followed him.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to work," Stanley informed and started to leave as well.
"Hey, don't forget about the date tonight with-"
Before Gloria could finish, Stanley interrupted, "Mom, could you cancel it for me? I have a topic seminar today, and
it might end late."
"You should just skip that seminar since it always takes a while to finish," Gloria said. She figured it would not hurt to
miss once in a while. Besides that, her son still had to eat even though he was in a meeting.
"Mom, it's not convenient for me," Stanley said, quickly escaping to prevent his mother from trying to convince him
otherwise.
Watching Stanley escape from the conversation, Gloria sighed. "Why, this child..."
Gloria did not expect that the one she was most assured of was now the one she worried about the most.

"Those are excuses. He'll forever remain busy," Gloria said, frustrated.
"You should ask him first next time and schedule according to his timetable. That way, he could have no excuses,"
Daniel suggested.
Gloria sighed. "There's probably no other choice. It's the only way."
At Riddle Corporation, Jared left after watching Nicole enter the building.
Nicole saw Steve on her way out of the elevator and she frowned. "Why are you here?"
"I'm here for work," Steve replied, dumbfounded at the question.
"Shouldn't you be taking care of your pregnant wife?" Nicole complained.
Steve smiled smally., "Oh, I've hired a nanny to take care of her." Knowing Nicole was worried about Sally, he
continued, "Don't worry, everything was normal in yesterday's checkup.
The doctor only informed me of some pregnancy precautions. Her body is fine.”
