Chapter 3033
Nicole’s expression showed her surprise as she asked, "Is this happening every day?" This was indeed unexpected to Nicole. Eliar assisting Patricia with her treatment shouldn't require such irregular hours. She thought to herself, 'What could he possibly be involved in?'
Emma's worry deepened at Nicole's response, "You don't know about it either?"
She felt that If Nicole was in the dark, it seemed unlikely anyone else knew. Ellar and Nicole had been close since childhood, and it was unusual for him to keep things from her..
"I'll have my people look into it." Nicole assured Dexter and Emma. She could see Dexter and Emma's growing concern. "If Ellar is in trouble, I'll find a way to help." "Well... okay." Emma sighed, saying, "Thank you for doing this." She understood the desire for privacy, recognizing that if the younger generation chose not to share, they likely had their reasons.
"Try not to worry. I doubt it's anything serious. If there were a real issue, Ellar wouldn't be able to keep it from me for long. He might just be going through a busy patch," Nicole reassured Emma, aiming to ease her concerns.
Emma managed a smile, nodding in agreement. "I trust you'll handle it well.
Gloria also offered words of comfort, "Don't stress too much. The kids are adults now; they can manage their affairs. And work issues are often out of our hands."
Dexter chimed in with a nod, "We understand we can't do much, but it's hard not to worry when you see your child struggling."
Nicole offered a reassuring smile to Dexter. "Just give it a little more time.
Things might improve in a few days," she suggested optimistically.
In her mind, Nicole suspected that this situation had less to do with work and more with Patricia. Perhaps Ellar found it difficult to stay away from
Patricia, choosing to distance himself while still keeping an eye on her from afar.
