Chapter 2972
"Yes, we miss you when we can't see you," Gloria affirmed with a smile, her love for Nolan and Lana shining in her eyes.
While the kids enjoyed their time with Daniel and Gloria, Nicole and Jared found themselves at a dining room for a late-night snack.
As they sat there, Nicole couldn't help but watch the four in the living room, her eyes brimming with warmth. She felt an overwhelming sense of contentment, thinking, 'This kind of family moment is so precious, it's hard not to cherish it.'
After a long day, the quiet of the night embraced the Riddle household. Nicole and Jared, having tucked Nolan and Lana into bed, retreated to their own room, the peacefulness of the home enveloping them.
Feeling the day's weariness in her muscles, Nicole stretched her neck, trying to ease the tension. Jared, ever attentive, noticed her fatigue and offered a gentle shoulder massage." If you're tired, you should go to bed early," he suggested with genuine concern in his voice.
"Mhm." Nicole nodded, her smile reflecting her appreciation, and then made her way to bed.
Once Nicole was resting, Jared stepped out onto the balcony for a private call with Max. "Any update?"
"Lawrence returned home. Nothing unusual," Max reported, then hesitated before adding, "But there's something about
Ian."
"Ian?" Jared's eyes narrowed. 'Lawrence's right-hand man?'
"After dropping Lawrence off, he left hastily. He seemed to be contacting someone, but he was very cautious, evading our tail," Max detailed.
"Did he know?" Jared's voice carried a hint of concern.
"It looks like he was just being careful, not that he knew he was being followed," Max concluded thoughtfully.
