My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1997

"Mommy!" Lana's eyes turned red, indicating that she would cry at any second if Nicole said no.

The entire family would be heartbroken as soon as Lana cried, and knowing this, Nolan suddenly felt a headache.

Then, he immediately convinced Lana that, "Sis, Mommy is very busy with work. She doesn't have time for a date."

"That's why she needs a date to relax," Lana confidently said as if there was nothing wrong with what was stated. "Right, Mommy?"

A subtle smile appeared on Jared's face as his affection for Lana grew even deeper. He was not expecting that to happen at all.

'Lana must be an angel gifted to me,' he thought to himself.

Nicole did not know what to do. As far as her current relationship status with Jared was concerned, they were miles from reaching the stage in which they would consider dating each other. They were merely closer than strangers; they were not even friends with each other. However, her heart ached when she saw the disappointed and sullen look on Lana's face.

"Come on, Mommy. Just say yes." Lana grabbed Nicole's sleeve and said in a coquettish tone of voice.

"Yeah, Mommy. Please make Lana's wish come true," Nolan butted in.

This left Nicole in a state of surprise. 'Why did Nolan's attitude take such a big turn so suddenly?'

Jared shifted his gaze to Nolan too, cognizant that something was not right. 'This little brat was never on my side. I wonder why he is supporting me now.'

In reply, Jared put on a knowing look and said, "Don't worry. We'll go on a date once Mommy is done with her work."

"Yeah!" Lana became elated, her smile shining brighter than the sun.

On the other hand, Nolan was not cheering at all, signaling that he was secretly plotting something. Jared noticed it and knew that the little brat would not be on his side if he did not have an ulterior motive.

"Come on, let's go eat." Jared looked away and walked toward the restaurant while carrying Lana.
