"Come and sit by grandma." Gloria waved the two children over, wanting to hold the both of them in her
arms.
Everyone else wanted to do the same but did not dare fight Gloria for it. After all, for the past five years
since Nicole's disappearance, their mother had not laughed at all. It was a rare scene for everyone to
see.
"Let's dig in!" Gloria did not mind her sons' wishful thinking of wanting to hold their niece and nephew.
Daniel gave their sons a look that said, 'Not a chance. Don't even think about it.'
"Okay," Spencer and Samuel agreed in unison, tacitly knowing what their father was referring to.
Nicole watched as she observed the actions of her parents and older brothers. The corners of her lips
curled into a slight smile. Her heart was warm, feeling content. Though she could not recall her
memory, seeing her family being together again was an irreplaceable feeling.
Nicole was just about to lower head to take a bite of her food when suddenly, a shadow appeared
behind her. novelebook.comShe raised her head, only to be engulfed by a slender figure.
"Daddy!" Lana's eyes lit up instantly when she saw Jared. She ran over with her short legs and threw
herself into Jared's arms.
Jared hugged Lana immediately and doted on her. "Did you miss me?"
"Yeah." Lana nodded vigorously. Then, sounding a little aggrieved, she said, "Daddy, please don't leave
me and my mommy in the future. Lana and Mommy will be sad."
The corner of Nicole's lips twitched subtly. 'What on earth is this girl going on about? What's she sad
about?'
Jared could not help being startled. He rubbed Lana's head while saying, "Daddy won't abandon you
guys."
"Okay." Lana instantly smiled brightly. Her small hands wrapped tightly around Jared's neck with no
intention of letting go.
"Jared, you haven't eaten, have you? Come sit down and join us," Daniel said to Jared.
"Yes." Jared carried Lana as he took a seat next to Nicole, as if nothing had happened the day before.
Jared took care of Lana's meal, giving her favorite dishes to her and refilling her plate from time to time.
Nicole stared at her plate, feeling uneasy as she faced Jared. A complicated emotion arose in her
heart.
'Why am I suddenly feeling depressed when he showed up? Is it because of his appearance?' Nicole
bit her lip, thinking of how ridiculous the situation was.
'But how can this be? It's probably because I didn't rest well last night. How could a person like him
affect me, right?'
The air in the dining room was awkward once more. The men from the Riddle family had all gone off to
work. Gloria had taken both Nolan and Lana away, with the excuse that they were going to visit Mrs.
Wallace Sr.
Only Jared and Nicole were left. They sat in the living room after breakfast was finished. Nicole
suddenly felt a little unnatural and panicked.
"You were sad?" Jared looked at Nicole with a playful look in his eye.
Cheeks flushed, Nicole gritted her teeth and said, "Kids speak without thinking. Don't mind what Lana
said."
"Really?" Jared approached Nicole suddenly.
Nicole's body froze subconsciously, failing to dodge him.
A hint of satisfaction glistened in Jared's eyes. 'At least now she's not hiding from me, right?'
Jared knew that the process to get Nicole to not flinch or dodge him was not easy. Thus he did not
force her and maintained the current distance.
Jared looked at Nicole with raised eyebrows and said, "The drug test results are out."
