Chapter 2067
Watching the two children eat happily, a trace of amusement flashed in Jared's eyes as he handed a fruit box to Nicole. "Have some."
Nicole felt inexplicably guilty because of what happened earlier. Though she knew that there was nothing wrong with having a meal with a friend, she could not help but feel nervous in front of Jared.
"Daddy, why didn't you find us earlier? If you had found us earlier, we could've played on the island together," Lana said while eating, not forgetting to question Jared.
'If Daddy had found us earlier, he could've taken us out to play and enjoy some delicious food. That would've been awesome.'
Jared's mood was already gloomy because of Lawrence, but he had no reason to blame Nicole. After all, she did not remember him. However, Lana's words made his heart ache.
"I've been looking for you all this time." Jared's gaze dimmed and his voice became hoarse.
He had never given up searching for them for the last five years, but Nicole seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth without a single trace of her existence.
However, unbeknownst to him, someone had erased all traces of Nicole, which was why Jared was always unsuccessful in searching for Nicole. He knew that Nicole
had done it for the sake of the safety of their children, but Jared figured that Lawrence must have had a hand in it as well, and his intentions might not be as pure as Nicole's.
Lawrence's explanation seemed reasonable on the day Jared and he met, but Jared did not fully believe it.
Even if their country was dangerous, Lawrence could have told him, and he could have gone abroad to find Nicole.
Besides, Lawrence had even given Nicole a new identity. Perhaps from the beginning, Lawrence never wanted her to become Nicole again.
If Jared had known that seeking Lawrence's help would lead to five years of separation from Nicole, he would rather do things the hard way than seek Lawrence for help.
Suddenly, the air around Jared turned cold. Nicole looked at him and caught a glimpse of heartbreak and desolation in his eyes. It left her heart aching.
Even without her memories, Nicole knew from what her family had told her that Jared had put in a lot of effort in the last five years. But his attempts would always yield no results. 'It must be really difficult to bear such pain.'
