My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2956

Chapter 2956

At this moment, it seemed right to let Nolan and Lana relax and get a good night's sleep.

After ensuring they were asleep, Nicole took Lana back to her room and then went downstairs. Lulu and Tia were still engaged in conversation with Gloria. Seeing Nicole arrive alone, they understood that Nolan and Lana had already retired for the night.

Nicole casually joined the group on the couch, but her mind was elsewhere. She was anticipating news from Jared's bodyguards, who had been protecting Nolan and Lana near the kindergarten and were now pursuing the kidnappers. Nicole was expecting an update on the situation soon.

Her phone rang shortly after. It was Max.

"Make it quick," Nicole answered.

"The operation went smoothly, but the outcome is still uncertain," Max reported concisely.

"Okay," Nicole acknowledged and hung up, pleased that Max was succinct in his communication. His brief update was clear to her but vague enough to not arouse Gloria's concern.

As expected, Gloria, thinking it was work-related, asked Nicole, "Do you need to go out?"

"No, they'll handle it," Nicole replied, dismissing the need for her direct involvement.

"Oh, if you're not going out, you should rest. It's rare for you to be home this early," Gloria suggested kindly.

Suddenly, Lulu, seizing an opportunity, interjected, "Nicole, I just remembered, there's an urgent document you need to deal with. Let's go to the study."

"Sure," Nicole agreed, appreciating Lulu's quick thinking.

The two of them headed upstairs.

Tia initially wanted to follow, but realizing it was work- related and not wanting to raise suspicions, she stayed back. Tia understood that Nicole and Lulu preferred not to discuss the incident in front of Gloria, so she continued the conversation with her to maintain the facade.
