My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2600

Chapter 2600

Since Nolan was still not used to it, Jared did not want to force him and figured that all the child needed was some time.

When everyone was about to give up waiting, Nolan softly called out, "Dad."

The room instantly became quiet. Everyone was shocked.

Jared's gaze showed a touch of satisfaction. He ruffled Nolan's head. "Good job."

Nicole was also very pleased with Nolan and patted his shoulder. She knew her son was slowly accepting Jared.

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP.

A slow clap started, standing out in the quiet crowd. As the clapping sound became apparent, everyone looked upto find Lawrence approaching.

Nolan and Lana exchanged glances and called out, "Hi, Godpa."

Nolan did not pounce on Lawrence as usual, which had Lawrence taken aback. But he quickly regained his composure and smiled. "Of course, I'd definitely come to visit you on such an important occasion."

"Thank you, Godpa."

Lawrence arrived in front of the children and held out two

boxes to them. "This is a little something that I prepared for you."

"You're both grown up and no longer immature. I'm so glad for you and I hope you'll always be healthy, happy, and safe in the future," Lawrence said, chuckling. He then looked at Jared and added, "Congratulations."

"Thank you, Godpa. We'll live happily with Mommy and Daddy!" Lana smiled sweetly and tightened her arms around Jared's neck affectionately.

"Since you're here for dinner, please have a seat," Maximillian said calmly, with a hint of coldness.

Everyone present today was no ordinary person. They were all either in the political or business industry. After being in this environment for so long, no one was simple-minded. Maximillian could tell Lawrence's motives, and so could others.

Lawrence seemingly came to congratulate, but he was actually after Nicole and wanted to be the father of the kids. Maximillian would never let that dream happen. Letting Lawrence be the kid's godfather was as much as he could tolerate. Anything further would be crossing the line.

"Thank you, Mr. Johnston Sr." Lawrence knew where he needed to be careful with what he did. Any more outrageous words from him would only backfire on him.
