Chapter 2027


    And as if Jared could read Nicole''s mind, he held her hands and said in a gentle voice, "Don''t worry.


    The school you''ve chosen for Nn and Lana is perfect for them. I''ve already arranged everything. No


    one would be suspicious of their identities."


    Jared had done all the necessary preparations and precautions. Even if he made an appearance, no


    news about it would leak out. The kids would have to attend school, but it went without saying that they


    should not be put in any danger.


    Hearing this, Nicole felt a sense of peace and replied, "Alright. As long as everything is in ce."


    It was appropriate for Jared to be ready. Even if there were no issues with the information, the two of


    them would have toe in contact with their kids, one way or another. If any unscrupulous individuals


    were to happen upon it, they would put the kids in danger. That was thest thing Jared wanted to


    witness and deal with.


    By the time they arrived at the Riddle family manor, Samuel and Spencer had not returned, and the


    only ones at home were Daniel, Gloria and Stanley. They were all apanying Nn and Lana,


    helping them with the pile of presents on the coffee table.


    "Mommy! You''re back!" Nn ran over happily.


    Then, Lana followed closely from behind and hurried into Jared''s arms. "Daddy!"


    Carrying Lana up, Jared promptly asked, "What are you guys doing?"


    "We''re going to school tomorrow. These are the presents which grandpa, grandma and Uncle gave us,"


    Lana said, waving her chubby hands while pointing at the coffee table.


    A slight twitch crossed Nicole''s lips as she heard that. "That''s a little too much."


    "It''s not much. These are all things which the kids would need, or perhaps like." Gloria shed a loving


    smile.


    ''These are not even enough for the kids,'' the old woman thought.


    "Mommy, Daddy, how about the both of you? Did you prepare any presents for us?" Lana blinked her


    eyes in anticipation.


    ''If there are presents, Mommy and Daddy would prepare some for us too, right?'' she wondered.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Nicole pinched Nn''s nose lovingly and said, "You greedy one! Are you not satisfied with this amount


    of gifts already?"


    "I guess that means there are no presents." Lana pouted, looking as if she was really disappointed.


    "Lana, what present do you want?" Jared instantly felt guilty, evoking his desire to fulfill all of Lana''s


    requests.


    "I want..." Lana paused, feeling too perplexed to offer aplete response.


    What sort of present could she possibly desire? As things stood, it seemed that Lana did not need


    anything else. It was just that everyone else had given her a gift, so her parents should each give her


    one too.


    Nicole was trying hard not tough as she took Lana away from Jared.


    She ced the little one down on the couch, sat down together and smiled. "We do not have any


    presents, but we will send you both to the kindergarten ourselves. Is that okay?"


    "Didn''t you promise us that long ago? This does not count!" Lana protested, not wanting to give in.


    Nicole could not help but massage her forehead. ''This girl is such a cheeky one. Who did she take


    after?''


    A smile shed across Jared''s eyes, after which he said, "I will promise you one thing. The moment


    you''ve thought of the gift that you want, you will tell me then. Is that fine?"


    It was only then that Lana happily replied, "Sure. It''s a deal. Pinky promise!"


    After Jared had sealed the deal by hooking his pinky finger with Lana''s, she continued unboxing her


    presents joyfully.


    Nn watched the entire scene as it yed out before him and pursed his lips. Then, he quietly


    unboxed his presents. He had to control himself. At the end of the day, it was just a request. He could


    surely ask for it from his godfather.


    Keeping a close eye at Nn''s movements, Jared raised his eyebrows subtly. ''This pretentious little


    one.''


    In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Early in the morning, Nn and Lana had woken up feeling


    totally ecstatic of going to school. It was not just because they could go to school; most importantly,


    they finally had their parents to send them there. From now onwards, they would not be questioned or


    ridiculed by the other kids.


    When Nicole and Jared headed downstairs, the two cuties were already sitting at the couch, waiting


    with bags on their back.


    "Don''t tell me that the both of you are nning to skip breakfast and go to school right away," Nicole


    remarked, bing instantly crossed.


    "Even if we eat, we''ll have to carry these bags behind our back," Lana replied as she zipped her bag


    straps up.


    It was as if she was worried that others would take it away from her.
