My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2030

Chapter 2030

"Nicole, I'd like to invite you, Lana, and Nolan out for dinner today. Just take it as a celebration, for them having found a preschool that they like." Lawrence looked at Jared before asking Nicole out.

Feeling challenged, Jared's gaze became even frostier.

His tone was menacing as he said, "It's a father's responsibility to find a school that's the best for them. It's nothing worth celebrating."

"Don't stress it, Mr. Johnston. While you were not present in their lives, Nicole and I have been treating them well too," Lawrence calmly said, though every word uttered was extremely provocative.

Jared's expression darkened. Lawrence had hit the nail on the head, for this was indeed Jared's regret. Nevertheless, it was still not Lawrence's place to say something like that.

"Right. Since you're their godfather, it's only reasonable for you to look after them a little," Jared retorted.

At the end of the day, Lawrence was just their godfather. He had no blood relations with either of the children at all.

Lawrence clenched his jaw after Jared had put him in his place. Indeed, he was just their godfather, a position he was not happy with; he wanted to be their father.

And due to their argument, a headache was beginning to set in for Nicole. "The kids had dinner in their school already. Let's do it on the weekends. The kids can have some time to relax as well."

If they went out to eat today, Nicole might experience indigestion again. However, she could not reject Lawrence's invitation as he was their godfather. Besides, he genuinely cared forthem as well.

"Mommy," Nolan protested.

He truly missed Lawrence, as it had been some time since he last saw him.

"On the weekend it is. Daddy can join us too." Lana accepted the invitation and included Jared in the arrangement herself.

Jared looked at her, his eyes brimming with affection. 'She's just so thoughtful. What an angel.'

Nicole's lips twitched while she smiled. She did not want to invite Jared, as she was the only one who would be affected whenever Jared and Lawrence were in the same room together. She was already getting a headache just thinking about it.
