Chapter 2148
"Don't call me Mrs. Johnston." Nicole's cheeks flushed and burned as Jared addressed her as Mrs. Johnston.
"Mommy." The kids returned, as the event was about to begin.
With everyone seated, the sports day event was about to start. It was the first ever sports day event that Nolan and Lana had participated in with both of their parents in attendance. As such, they were more than eager to participate in all the games and events.
Meanwhile, Iris, who was standing outside the kindergarten, was spectating the sports day event. She was experiencing the shock of her lifetime when she noticed that Jared was participating in the occasion instead of coming into the office.
'I've been by his side for so long, yet I've never even once heard about Jared joining kindergarten events,' Iris thought to herself, and the harder into the rabbit hole she dove into, the weirder it felt.
The document she had brought with her was an excuse with which to sate her curiosity once and for all, as he had been feeling all giddy on the inside. However, what she did not expect was that Nicole would be here today.
'So, this is the woman Mr. Johnston has chosen to marry? Why did he choose a woman with children already? What's so good about this woman?' she wondered.
Iris continued standing outside the kindergarten, staring at Jared and Nicole with their two children, the resentment in her heart growing with each passing second. Never before had she ever witnessed the tenderness and look of affection on Jared's face.
The barrage of information was too much for Iris to stomach, and as a result, she became restless as though she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
"Miss Brown, weren't you in a hurry with the document earlier?" Max's voice blared out, shattering her train of thoughts.
Iris returned to her senses at once, the growing sense of panic in her eyes vanishing.
With a smile, she turned around and regained her composure. "I'm about to head back to the company. Do you have any arrangements?"
"No,’ Max replied calmly. "Anyway, here is a gentle reminder that Mr. Johnston would not have the time for matters like these in the future. Instead, you may approach me directly if there's ever a need for it."
Iris' smile vanished, before she boldly replied, "Okay, I’ll keep that in mind next time."
