Chapter 2093
"Yeah, he also called to chat with me for a bit." Lawrence looked at Nicole with eyes beaming with hope as Nolan had given him some pep talk to work harder during the night prior.
Otherwise, someone else might just whisk her away.
Lawrence came to approach Nicole for that exact reason, as his masculine senses had informed him that it was a crisis. Before this, Nolan had contacted Lawrence to help him find occasions and circumstances in which he could set them both up. Nolan had been urging Lawrence to work hard to woo his mother, adding that he would not stand a chance if he did not.
Though Lawrence had attempted to gather some information from Nolan regarding his desperate desire to get him to pursue his mother, there was no success, as he could not discover anything. All he could tell was that something must have happened.
Nicole's pupils shrank slightly; she understood that Nolan must have said something to Lawrence, prompting him to come over for a visit today.
"Leo, the kids have a thing with playful banters. There are certain things we don't have to take seriously," she explained.
Nicole had made that clear to Lawrence once before and ever since returning to San Joto. It was evident that something within Lawrence had changed a little.
"Pretty sure I can tell a truth and a lie apart," he said.
'Regardless of whether it was Nolan’s childish words or my own, my objective and goal is clear, especially what my heart wants. For five years, I have been silently giving her everything she wanted and how she wanted them. I gave her space, and I did not push into doing things she did not want to do. Never have I imagined that I would be on the verge of losing her because of an accident, and now, we're drifting further and further away from one another,' he thought as he became uneasy with the knowledge that things were not heading the way he wanted them to be.
"Leo, I think you have to understand that, between the two of us, we're just friends." Nicole frowned, reminding him of their previous conversation.
Lawrence proceeded to interrupt her. "You also said that you weren't going to come back here."
"The world is evolving each day, and there are things that are beyond our control. Now that I've returned, I have to do what I should be doing," she replied.
Initially, Nicole did not want to return to San Joto at all because she wanted to elude her enemies and keep her children safe.
Perhaps it was fate that brought me back here. It's not something I can run from forever.'
