Chapter 3029Chapter 3029
Curiously, Patricia hadn't seen Ell ar in the past few days, and she found herself feeling a bit lost
without his presence.
Perhaps, she thought, returning to work at the company would improve her mood after being alone at
home for so long.
At the Riddle residence, after dropping Lulu off, Nicole returned home. There, she found Daniel and
Gloria in the living room with Nolan and Lana, but Jared was nowhere to be seen.
Guessing Jared was still busy with work, Nicole didn't inquire about his absence.
"Mommy," Nolan and Lana greeted her joyfully, opening their arms.
Nicole smiled and sat down on the couch, hugging Nolan and Lana close.
"Mommy, why isn't Daddy back yet?" Lana asked, looking up.
"Your father is still working," Nicole gently explained, stroking Lana's head.
"Why is Daddy always so busy?" Lana frowned.
"He'll be back once he's done with his work," Nicole assured her with a smile.
Just then, Jared's voice echoed from the entrance, "Who's missing me?"
Lana, bright-eyed, ran towards Jared, "Daddy!"
Jared picked up Lana, affectionately ruffling her hair. "Did you miss Daddy?" "Yes," Lana nodded
vigorously."Some work kept me, but I'm back now," Jared said as he carried Lana back to the couch.
Nicole looked up at Jared and smiled. “You're back."
Sitting beside her, Jared softly asked, "How did things go for you today?" "The results are quite good,"
Nicole replied cheerfully, "And I've promised Patricia that she'll return to the company tomorrow." "Hm,"
Jared, understanding the situation with Patricia, knew Nicole would make the best arrangements.
"Let's have dinner since everyone is back," Daniel suggested to the family.
"Okay,” Nicole and Jared agreed, and the family moved to the dining room.
After dinner, Nicole asked Nolan and Lana to play with Gloria and Daniel while she inquired Jared
about a pressing matter, "What happened with the project? Did you find out anything?"
She was concerned that Everett's interference might not be limited to the Riddle Corporation, but also
possibly against the Johnston Group in secret.
Jared gently stroked Nicole's hair to comfort her, "Don't worry, it was just a temporary emergency. It’s
been dealt with." "Oh," Nicole felt relieved and said, "As long as it's not Everett."
Jared reassured her further, holding her hand gently. "Don't worry, even if it's him, it doesn't matter."
They wouldn't let Everett succeed, no matter what.
Nicole nodded slightly. "I just think his ambition is too great, he'll stop at nothing." "We'll all be fine,"
Jared said with a smile, holding Nicole close.
Leaning against him, Nicole felt genuinely at peace. She snuggled into Jared's embrace, wrapping her
arms around his waist.Jared smiled indulgently, stroking Nicole's hair. "Let's prepare for the wedding." "The wedding!" Nicole
was surprised, looking at Jared. "But with Everett back, watching US..."
She had thought about delaying the wedding due to Everett's sudden return.
Jared kissed her forehead softly, reassuring her, "We shouldn't change our life's rhythm because of
someone else."
Their life should move at their own pace. As for other matters, they wouldn't waste energy worrying
about them unless necessary, and would find solutions if they arose.
Looking into Jared's determined eyes, Nicole smiled and agreed, "Okay."novelbin
