Chapter 3132
Daniel had actually heard some things at the Riddle family manor and wanted to ask Nicole and Jared about them. But he forgot that it might cause Gloria unnecessary worry.
"Really?" Gloria asked, sounding doubtful.
"Yes, I'm actually just worried about our children being overworked. I thought I'd remind them not to exhaust themselves," Daniel continued.
Gloria nodded. 'I see."
Then, turning to Nicole, Gloria said, "But you do seem to have lost some weight recently. Is work too demanding?"
"Mom, it's been busy lately, but we can handle it. Don't worry," Nicole reassured with a smile, as if there really was nothing troubling her.
"Eat more," Gloria said, serving Nicole more food with a look of concern.
Nicole glanced at Daniel. "Dad, don't worry. Together, we’ll manage just fine."
She knew Daniel's concerns weren't limited to business matters; he probably also knew about the situation with Everett.
"That's good to hear," Daniel nodded, understanding that Nicole was telling him there were others who could help her, easing his worries.
Then, Daniel looked toward Jared. The two men exchanged a glance, and though nothing was said, their mutual understanding was clear.
Daniel hoped Jared would take good care of Nicole, and Jared, of course, intended to protect Nicole diligently.
After dinner, Stanley returned with Nolan and Lana.
"Mommy, Daddy," Nolan and Lana approached Nicole and Jared, diving into their embrace.
Nicole gently touched their heads. "Did you go to play with Great-grandma Wallace?"
"Yeah, Great-grandma Wallace even told US stories," Lana said, looking up with a smile.
