Chapter 2160
"Nope." Jared gently held Nicole's soft hand.
Noticing that Jared seemed a little tired, Nicole tilted her head slightly and asked, "You seem a little exhausted. Is work piling up?"
"It's manageable."
Jared tightened his grip on her hand, after which he instructed Max, "Let's go."
"Yes, sir."
The engine roared to life, and together, they headed toward the Riddle residence.
Soon, they arrived at the Riddle family estate, where the courtyard was filled with parked cars.
"Looks like everyone's here." Nicole glanced around and commented.
"Yeah, let's go inside." Jared held onto Nicole's hand as they entered the mansion together.
Laughter and joy filled the living room, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Mommy!" Nolan and Lana noticed Nicole's return and happily ran toward her.
Nicole stroked their heads and smiled. ’ Did you listen to Aunt Tia today?"
"Yes," Lana responded sweetly as she nodded.
"Mommy, the family banquet today is so lively." Nolan grabbed Nicole's hand and looked around the room.
"Yes, and that's because all of your uncles and aunts have returned. Of course it's lively," Nicole explained with a smile.
Lana looked up with curiosity in her eyes and asked, "Are Aunt June and Aunt Lulu also our aunts?"
Her voice was neither loud nor soft. Naturally, everyone in the room heard her and that was when the living room instantly fell into awkward silence.
June and Lulu blushed, feeling embarrassed as the atmosphere had become somewhat tense.
For her kids to ask such a question was something that Nicole did not see coming, so she could only smile and reply, "Well, you might need to ask your uncles, Aunt June, or Aunt Lulu about that."
