Chapter 1986
"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. She 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.
