Chapter 2570
Relieved, Samuel remarked, "That's good.
"It's getting late. Let's all head upstairs and get some sleep," Daniel advised everyone.
Gloria then looked at Nicole and said, "Nolan and Lana have already gone to their rooms. Why don't you go check on them?"
"Alright," Nicole agreed, after which she and Jared headed upstairs.
In Nolan's room, the two kids were in the middle of a discussion, but the instant they saw Nicole and Jared entering, they immediately fell silent and rushed toward them, exclaiming, "Mommy, Daddy, you're back!"
Holding Lana, Jared's gaze softened as he asked, "What were you two up to just now?"
Lana could not come up with a lie as she met her father's eyes, so she pouted and said, Daddy, it's a secret. Can you not ask?"
She could not tell Jared, but she did not want to lie to him either. Therefore, the best option, at least for her, was to request her father to not ask her about it.
Jared could not help but smile when he saw her being caught in such a dilemma. "Alright, I won't ask."
"Thank you, Daddy." Lana beamed as she wrapped her arms around Jared's neck. "Daddy, I want to go to sleep now."
"Okay, go to sleep," Jared said as he carried Lana out of Nolan's room.
Nicole, who was still around, shot a glance at Nolan.
She could already guess what the two kids had been up to earlier, but instead of exposing them, she just asked, "Did you not carry out any missions today?"
"Nope." Nolan shook his head. "Lately, it's been unusually quiet on the Hunters. It feels a bit strange."
