My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 3094

Chapter 3094

"I'll accept the gifts on their behalf, but I still can't invite you to the birthday party. It's just not appropriate," Nicole stated calmly, without hesitation.

Lawrence, feeling a bit awkward, managed a helpless smile and said, "Even though I just threatened you, you didn't have to retaliate so quickly."

He knew she wouldn't invite him to the birthday party, but her blunt declaration still made it hard for him to accept.

"I'm just stating the facts," Nicole replied with a serene smile, appearing innocent.

Lawrence was momentarily lost in thought, just as Lulu came in.

"Mr. Royce, your coffee." Lulu said, placing the coffee on the table.

A flicker of discomfort crossed Lawrence's face. "No need, I was just leaving now that we've discussed everything."

Watching Lawrence leave abruptly, Lulu looked surprised. "He's gone just like that?"

"Nicole, was it something you said? He seemed a bit off," Lulu inquired.

"It's nothing, just that I didn't invite him to the birthday party," Nicole replied.

"So, he's angry?" Lulu murmured, frowning. "But he didn't seem like it."

Nicole couldn't help but give Lulu an amused look. "What are you muttering about?"

"Oh, nothing." Lulu glanced at the bags on Nicole's desk. "So, you accepted the gifts."

"Yes, it's simpler that way. Besides, they're for Nolan and Lana, so it's ultimately up to them," Nicole said.

But everything changed upon their return to San Joto, especially after she regained her memories.

The events that unfolded had only driven them further apart, to the point where they were almost enemies.

Feeling a tightness in his chest, Lawrence paled. His expression was solemn.

The next day, in the evening, everything was ready for the birthday party at the Riddle residence. The house was filled with lights and laughter, bustling with a large gathering. It wasn't just a few relatives; Benjamin, Dillon's family, Dexter's family, and even Maximillian were there to celebrate the kids' birthday.

"Lana, your family is huge, even bigger than mine!" Nona exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement.

"Yeah, that's my great-grandfather, and those are my grandparents..." Lana began introducing her family to Nona. 1

Nolan motioned to his friends. "Let's sit here. Grandma said this area is just for us kids."
