My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2601

Chapter 2601

Lawrence took a seat in a corner as he waited for the banquet to end. On the other side of the hall, Jared sat with Maximillian as they watched the bride and groom happily chatting with their guests.

Jared and Nicole led the twins to sit at their seats.

Lawrence stared at them, not touching his drink or food. He sat there solemnly.

Nicole could feel his gaze on them. She leaned over and whispered to Jared, "I'm gonna head over to the balcony for a breather."

"Need me to accompany you?" asked Jared in a low voice.

Nicole shook her head. "No need. If you come, he might not approach me."

Jared nodded in agreement, understanding what Nicole is trying to do. He glanced at Patricia.

The lady, who was sitting at another table, immediately locked eyes with Jared and understood. She stepped outside and stood where the balcony was in sight.

Expectedly, Lawrence walked to the balcony and handed Nicole a glass of red wine. "Were you waiting for me to join you?"

Nicole accepted the wine glass and held it without sipping. Instead, she looked Lawrence in the eye. "You've been

waiting for this opportunity, haven't you?"

"Smart girl," said Lawrence, sipping from his glass and smirking. 'She hasn't changed one bit. Nothing gets past her.'

"If I told you, it was an accident, would you buy it?' he said. Then, he shrugged. "But of course, the Fire Crest would naturally recognize its owner."
