"No, that's out of the question," Lawrence's voice held a firmness that emphasized the decisiveness of
his choice. Pursuing Nolan and Lana at this point would jeopardize any chance of reconciliation in the
future.
Ian simply nodded, concentrating on driving, thinking to himself, 'If Mr. Royce can't devise a plan,
there's little I can do to assist.'
Reclining in his seat, Lawrence stared out of the car window, lost in thought as the sun began to set.
After finishing work, Nicole exited the company and climbed into Jared's car.
"Max, let's head to the kindergarten," Nicole instructed.
"Got it,” Max responded, steering the car in the direction of the kindergarten.
Jared glanced at her, speaking softly, "Why the sudden decision to pick up Nolan and Lana?"
Nicole took a deep breath, biting her lip slightly as she recounted Lawrence's visit to Jared, expressing
her worry that Lawrence might try to see Nolan and Lana secretly after she had turned him down.
A shadow passed over Jared's eyes, his voice turning cold. "If he has any sense left, he won't dare."
Lawrence should know better than to do anything Nicole had explicitly refused, especially now. It would
only further damage their already strained relationship.
"Let's hope so," Nicole murmured, her concern evident in her expression, prompting the visit to ensure
the safety of Nolan and Lana.
"Lana, Nolan," Nicole called, waving and smiling as she approached them.novelbin"Mommy!" Nolan and Lana exclaimed happily, rushing over to her.
After giving their hair a playful ruffle, Nicole took their hands. "Let's go, today Daddy and I came to pick
you up."
"Is Auntie Tia busy today?" Nolan asked, curious.
"No, Daddy and Mommy just happened to have some free time today," Nicole replied with a smile.
Once in the car, Nolan and Lana settled in next to Jared. "Daddy."
"Let's put your backpacks down," Jared said, gently moving their small backpacks to the side.
As the car started moving, Lana looked up with excitement. "Daddy, I learned a new song at school
today."
"Why don't you sing it for US, Lana?" Jared encouraged, a smile in his eyes.
"Okay!" Lana happily began to sing the nursery rhyme, her soft, sweet voice filling the car with joy.
As they drove further away, Nicole felt relieved not to have seen Lawrence.
Unbeknownst to her, Lawrence emerged from a corner after they had left.
He couldn't resist the urge to check on the children but didn't want to attract Nicole's attention.
Dressed inconspicuously and avoiding driving there, he hid in the corner, ensuring Nicole wouldn't
notice him.
As Lawrence watched the car fade into the distance, the image of the close -knit family lingered in his
mind, his expression growing increasingly solemn.Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared arrived home with Nolan and Lana.
"Grandpa, Grandma," Nolan and Lana greeted Daniel and Gloria cheerfully as they approached.
