Chapter 2042


    "That''s just your opinion."


    Nicole''s cheeks flushed a deep shade of red, unable to muster an appropriate response to Jared''s


    words. She was afraid that he would continue to tease her.


    Nicole had noticed the stare of the woman when her eyes were on Jared, inferring that they did not


    share an ordinary superior and subordinate rtionship. Nicole was ufortable about it, and that


    was why she had brought it up to question. However, Nicole did not anticipate that Jared wouldugh


    at her and use her of being jealous, a charge which had left her feeling embarrassed.


    ''Perhaps I''ll be able to validate the truth of our rtionship the day I recover my memories, but then


    again, I don''t really care about these things. Until then, I can help him lessen his number of admirers,''


    Nicole thought.


    Jared, on the other hand, was in a good mood even after dinner was over.


    ''Though Nicole did not directly admit that she was jealous, I can see that she still has feelings for me.


    So far so good. Looks like we''re making progress,'' Jared thought.


    The two of them then returned to Riddle''s residence.


    "Mommy, did you go on a date with daddy?" Lana joyfully rushed over at full speed as soon as Nicole


    entered the living room.


    Noticing that her parents were watching TV with both Nn and Lana, Nicole asked, "Mom, Dad? Why


    are you guys still awake?"


    "Nn and Lana wanted to wait for you guys toe home. It''s still early so we decided to watch


    some TV to kill time while we wait for you guys toe home," Gloria replied with a smile.


    "Mommy, how was the date with daddy?" Lana raised her head.


    She was the one who had insisted on waiting for her parents toe home.


    Nicole patted Lana on her head and corrected her. "It''s not a date. Mommy and daddy had adult things


    to deal with, so we had toe home a littlete."


    Lana, being the clever girl she was, turned to ask Jared, "Daddy, did you and mommy go on a date?


    Mommy doesn''t want to admit it."


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    The corners of Nicole''s lip twitched a little as she helplessly warned, "Lana?"


    ''This girl is getting more and more out of control,'' Nicole thought.


    Jared smiled and nodded as he agreed, "Yeah."


    Satisfied, Lana smugly raised her chin. "I knew it."


    "You don''t know anything, stupid." Nn snorted in dismay before trotting his way upstairs.


    Nicole sighed when she saw Nn reacting that way. She then gave Jared a nk look, hoping that


    Jared would be more considerate toward Nn''s feelings.


    ''There are things that can only be epted with the passing of time. On top of that, he told the kids


    that we went on a real date instead of a casual dinner together,'' she thought.


    "He will have to ept it sooner orter." Jared frowned, feeling that he should not be hiding this from


    them.


    ''The kids have the right to know. Not to mention I am their father, and we will be living together from


    now on anyway,'' he thought.


    "Mommy, I''m not stupid. Nn is." Lana pouted.


    ''Mommy should be with daddy. He is stupid for being angry,'' Lana thought.


    "Alright, it''s almost time. Since you guys are back, you can put the kids to bed." Gloria said, signaling


    Nicole to go ahead and console the young boy.


    She felt sorry for Nn, but she also agreed with Jared''s reasoning.


    After that, Jared carried Lana in his arms and said, "Right. Off we go to bed."
