Chapter 1979
Gloria and Daniel relaxed when they saw Nolan was taking the initiative to take Lawrence around for a house tour.
Lawrence took a glance at Nicole before he left. "You don't mind if I accompany him for a while, do you?"
Noticing Lawrence's modest and polite manner; Nicole nodded in agreement.
For the past five years, Lawrence would ensure that he asked her for her permission and would never force things on her that would make her uncomfortable.
"Go ahead. Nolan has been missing you these past few days. " Nicole smiled at Lawrence, as if the two of them had an unspoken understanding.
Onlookers would misjudge them as husband and wife.
Jared, who was looking at this scene, felt even worse and directly blocked Lawrence from his sight. Jared grabbed Nicole by her arm and said, "Let's go back to our room."
Jared emphasized on going back to their room on purpose, ensuring that Lawrence had heard him loud and clear, before leaving with Nicole.
"Oh yeah... Leo, feel free to do what you like. I'll come find you after I've got Lana settled down," Nicole explained awkwardly to Lawrence, with Lana in her arms.
Lawrence watched as the family of three walked upstairs
before disappearing. 'Five years...*
Lawrence had always been an optimistic person, who had been inching toward Nicole slowly over time. 'In just a few days' time she had reconnected with Jared... To see them as a family of three is such an eye sore...'
Lawrence looked away and found that Steve had been staring at him. He quickly gave Steve a smile. "Steve, is there something you want to say?"
Steve slightly raised his eyebrows and replied, "No."
