Chapter 2976
"Nicole..." Tia looked at her, her eyes filled hesitation, as if to ask, 'Is this really okay?'
"I've still got things to handle, and I'm worried I won't make it in time, so I'm actually relieved to leave this in your hands, " Nicole explained. She then reassured Tia, "Don't worry, everything's been taken care of."
Tia nodded, now understanding the situation.
She was aware that lately, Nicole and Jared had been personally picking up Nolan and Lana for the kids' safety. Now that Nicole was entrusting her with this responsibility, and with Nicole's assurance that arrangements were in place, it likely meant someone would be there to ensure Nolan and Lana's safety. So, Tia felt a sense of relief.
"Okay, I'll make sure to be there early tomorrow morning," Tia said, smiling.
She really adored Nolan and Lana and was more than happy to pick them up.
Nicole had made these arrangements out of concern.
'If someone is actually after me, it's better I keep my distance from the kids,' Nicole thought to herself, 'to keep Nolan and Lana out of harm's way.'
Jared seemed to pick up on what Nicole was thinking, giving her a thoughtful look.
By limiting her time with the children, Nicole was protecting them, but it also meant she herself was in more danger.
Feeling Jared's gaze, Nicole smiled at him.
Jared's expression changed ever so slightly, then he gently took her hand in his.
Her smile grew as she moved a bit closer to Jared.
He didn't speak, but she understood his concern and his feelings.
"There won't be any problems, especially with you by my side," Nicole whispered, her voice just reaching Jared.
Jared's hold on her hand grew firmer, his actions speaking louder than words.
Nicole's smile turned even sweeter, her heart filled with warmth.
