Chapter 2981
Nicole gently kissed Nolan and Lana on their cheeks, reassuring them, "Okay, I will come back soon after finishing my work."
Jared affectionately patted Nolan's head. "Be sure to take good care of Lana while we're away."
Nolan nodded confidently. "I will."
"Daddy," Lana reached out her arms toward Jared, yearning for a hug.
Jared lifted her up, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Daddy, I'm going to miss you so much."
A look of deep love flashed in Jared’s eyes as he replied, "I'll be back before you know it."
"Nolan, Lana, it's almost time for kindergarten," Tia gently reminded them.
After bidding their parents a reluctant farewell, Nolan and Lana waved goodbye.
"Bye-bye, Daddy! Bye-bye, Mommy!" they called out, their little feet dragging and their heads turning back three times to look at their parents before following Tia to the car.
Nicole watched the car carrying Nolan and Lana until it disappeared from view. The sight left a bittersweet feeling in her heart.
Soon after, Nicole and Jared themselves got into their car, poised to embark on their journey.
"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, everything is set," Max confirmed, his voice steady as he started the car and steered it toward the airport.
Upon hearing Max's assurance, Nicole cast a quick glance at Jared. He responded by tenderly holding her hand. "Max will handle things here. Once we're on our way, our focus should be solely on our respective tasks."
Nicole nodded in agreement, her expression morphing into one of resolve and determination.
Their journey was about more than just the Apex Corp project; there were other unresolved issues that demanded their attention.
Upon arriving at the airport, Jared and Nicole swiftly boarded the plane, leaving the familiar landscapes of San Joto behind.
As their plane soared into the sky, Max departed the airport and made his way back to Charlie's apartment.
