Chapter 2030
"Nicole, I''d like to invite you, Lana, and Nn out for dinner today. Just take it as a celebration, for
them having found a preschool that they like." Lawrence looked at Jared before asking Nicole out.
Feeling challenged, Jared''s gaze became even frostier.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
His tone was menacing as he said, "It''s a father''s responsibility to find a school that''s the best for them.
It''s nothing worth celebrating."
"Don''t stress it, Mr. Johnston. While you were not present in their lives, Nicole and I have been treating
them well too," Lawrence calmly said, though every word uttered was extremely provocative.
Jared''s expression darkened. Lawrence had hit the nail on the head, for this was indeed Jared''s regret.
Nevertheless, it was still not Lawrence''s ce to say something like that.
"Right. Since you''re their godfather, it''s only reasonable for you to look after them a little," Jared
retorted.
At the end of the day, Lawrence was just their godfather. He had no blood rtions with either of the
children at all.
Lawrence clenched his jaw after Jared had put him in his ce. Indeed, he was just their godfather, a
position he was not happy with; he wanted to be their father.
And due to their argument, a headache was beginning to set in for Nicole. "The kids had dinner in their
school already. Let''s do it on the weekends. The kids can have some time to rx as well."
If they went out to eat today, Nicole might experience indigestion again. However, she could not reject
Lawrence''s invitation as he was their godfather. Besides, he genuinely cared for them as well.
"Mommy," Nn protested.
He truly missed Lawrence, as it had been some time since hest saw him.
"On the weekend it is. Daddy can join us too." Lana epted the invitation and included Jared in the
arrangement herself.
Jared looked at her, his eyes brimming with affection. ''She''s just so thoughtful. What an angel.''
Nicole''s lips twitched while she smiled. She did not want to invite Jared, as she was the only one who
would be affected whenever Jared and Lawrence were in the same room together. She was already
getting a headache just thinking about it.
"Sure." Lawrence brushed Lana''s head affectionately.
He agreed to the arrangement pretty quickly, as if he was happy as long as the children were happy.
"Let''s go home." Jared nced over at Lawrence, held Lana up, and proceeded to walk to the car.
Lana did as she was supposed to right away and waved at Lawrence. "Bye-bye, godfather."
Lawrence smiled dotingly and nodded to Lana as well. "See ya."
"Godpa, why don''t youe over to our grandma''s house?" Nn tugged on Lawrence''s shirt as he
did not want to leave him.
Nicole instantly knew what Nn was cooking up in his head, prompting her to pat his head and say,
"Don''t disturb him. Let''s go home."
''I know why he''s so close to Lawrence, and I know how he feels about him. But I just can''t bring myself
to give Lawrence anything,'' she thought.
She had remained friends with Lawrence throughout the five years she was on the ind. Now that she
was back here, there was simply no reason for her to take their rtionship to the next level. For that
reason alone, she was not going to allow Nn to fool around anymore.
Lawrence''s gaze darkened when he saw Nicole stopping Nn. ''Though she had lost her memories,
she is still willing to get close to Jared. But why!? Why can''t she just give me a chance?''
Nicole did not notice the change in Lawrence''s expression as her eyes were on Nn.
She then looked at him with a smile and said, "Well, let''s meet on the weekend."
"Sure, see you then," Lawrence responded gently.
"See you, godfather," Nn said.
The boy knew that he could not change anything, so he left with his mother with a cloud of gloom over
his head.
But before he could go, Lawrence patted his shoulder and said, "You''re a man. When godfather is not
around, be sure to take care of Mommy."
