Chapter 2027
And as if Jared could read Nicole's mind, he held her hands and said in a gentle voice, 'Don't worry. The school you've chosen for Nolan and Lana is perfect forthem. I've already arranged everything. No one would be suspicious of their identities.”
Jared had done all the necessary preparations and precautions. Even if he made an appearance, no news about it would leak out. The kids would have to attend school, but it went without saying that they should not be put in any danger.
Hearing this, Nicole felt a sense of peace and replied, "Alright. As long as everything is in place."
It was appropriate for Jared to be ready. Even if there were no issues with the information, the two of them would have to come in contact with their kids, one way or another. If any unscrupulous individuals were to happen upon it, they would put the kids in danger. That was the last thing Jared wanted to witness and deal with.
By the time they arrived at the Riddle family manor, Samuel and Spencer had not returned, and the only ones at home were Daniel, Gloria and Stanley. They were all accompanying Nolan and Lana, helping them with the pile of presents on the coffee table.
'Mommy! You're back!" Nolan ran over happily.
Then, Lana followed closely from behind and hurried into Jared's arms. ’ Daddy!"
Carrying Lana up, Jared promptly asked, "What are you guys doing?'
"We're going to school tomorrow. These are the presents which grandpa, grandma and Uncle gave us," Lana said, waving her chubby hands while pointing at the coffee table.
A slight twitch crossed Nicole's lips as she heard that. "That's a little too much."
'It's not much. These are all things which the kids would need, or perhaps like." Gloria flashed a loving smile.
'These are not even enough for the kids,' the old woman thought.
"Mommy, Daddy, how about the both of you? Did you prepare any presents for us?" Lana blinked her eyes in anticipation.
'If there are presents, Mommy and Daddy would prepare some for us too, right?1 she wondered.
Nicole pinched Nolan's nose lovingly and said, "You greedy one! Are you not satisfied with this amount of gifts already?"
"I guess that means there are no presents." Lana pouted, looking as if she was really disappointed.
