Chapter 2012
Though Jared was rejected by Nicole, he still felt really good about himself as he considered that Nicole's sullen look
was strangely cute.
"Haha." Jared let out a sarcastic laugh before letting out a low laugh.
Feeling a little hot, Nicole's cheeks became even redder, and her heartbeat quickened.
As the cool night breeze blew through her hair, Nicole did not dare to make eye contact with Jared. Nicole was
scared to meet his eyes, afraid that she would get lost in them.
"Tell me about your stay at Crescent Island," Jared requested as he gently combed Nicole's hair.
Jared felt regretful he was unable to be by Nicole's side, but he wanted to know how they lived.
"It's nothing special. I occasionally do my missions, while the rest of my time is spent taking care of Nolan and
Lana," Nicole said lightly.

children.
"In the future, it won't be as hard anymore." Jared gently hugged Nicole's shoulders, vowing to himself that he
would share the burden with Nicole and not let her go through it alone.
The weight of Jared's arms made it hard to breathe, but the warmth filled Nicole's heart. It was as if she magically
gained certainty from the hug.
Nicole turned to look at Jared, staring into his deep eyes that were once mysterious but now were filled with
reassurance, making her feel safe. Nicole curled her lips. She did not respond to Jared's words. Instead, she felt
more at peace by being next to him.
As the night rolled in, Jared and Nicole brought the twins back to the Riddle residence. They were already fast
asleep. After settling the twins down, Jared and Nicole slipped into bed.
"Those two rascals are very excited. They don't want to go home until they tire themselves out." Nicole felt
helpless, unable to control both Nolan and Lana's eagerness to play.
"Visiting the capital is quite something. It's quite refreshing to say, but since they like it so much, why don't we bring
them out more often?" Jared offered, wanting to try and make up for the time lost.
They'll be heading to kindergarten soon. Let them get their rest first," said Nicole as she remembered that her
children would be starting kindergarten over the next three days.
'I wonder if they'll be able to adapt,' Nicole wondered.
"Don't worry about it. I'll arrange for someone to take care of them." Jared comforted Nicole. He knew that Nicole
had signed up Nolan and Lana with ordinary identities to protect
them. However, Jared was still worried. 'I need to send someone out to keep an eye out for them, just in case
anything happens.'
"Okay." Nicole nodded, thinking Jared's arrangement to be very thoughtful.
"It's getting late. Let's head to bed," said Jared, as he pushed Nicole into the bathroom and handed her pajamas

Nicole stood there in shock, holding her pajamas in her hand. She could not help but feel a little dumbstruck before
shaking her head and sighing, turning on the faucet.
Jared turned to look out the window as he heard the sound of the water running in the bathroom. He stared out
looking at the distant night sky.
For the past five years, Jared had been staring at the night sky for countless nights as if staring hard enough would
bring Nicole back to his side.
'She finally came back to me and this time, I won't ever lose her again.'
Time came and went. After being occupied for so long, the day of celebrating Nicole's return had come. On this
day, political, businesspeople, celebrities, and merchants of the capital gathered to welcome Nicole's return which
had been talked about worldwide.
As soon as the lights were switched on, the crowd stood in front of the hotel and there was an endless stream of
people entering the venue.
