Chapter 2047


    Nicole was utterly shocked when realized what had happened. ''Why on earth is Jared here?!''


    She looked up slowly, feeling a little guilty as she forced a smile out. "Hey, what a coincidence. You''re


    here for lunch too, huh?"


    "What a coincidence indeed," Jared responded as he looked at Lawrence and Nn coldly.


    ''Why are they here together? Where''s Lana? Is she still in pre-school?'' Jared asked himself.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "Nn had a tummy ache, so…" Nicole said, trying to exin the situation to Jared.


    She did not know why but she just did not want Jared to misunderstand them.


    But before she could do any damage control, Nn raised his chin up and said smugly, "I wanted to go


    to the theme park, so godfather and Mommy brought me there. We got tired from ying, so we''re


    eating lunch now."


    "You?" Jared frowned deeply as he looked at them.


    Having figured Nn''s scheme out with ease, he thought, ''This little guy sure knows how to get on my


    nerves. He''s trying to get Nicole and Lawrence on a date, isn''t he?''


    "Yup!" Nn raised his head as if to say, "That''s right. It''s me!"


    "So you made a mistake, and you don''t see a problem with it?" Jared narrowed his eyes.


    They had taken Nn to school in the morning, and even if Nn wanted to visit the theme park, he


    could do so over the weekend.


    ''This is outrageous. Nn needs to be taught a lesson,'' Jared thought.


    "What mistake?" Nn asked, not having it. ''I didn''t sneak out to y by myself anyway.''


    "Is today a weekend?" Jared asked with a stern look on his face.


    Nn was taken aback.


    He shook his head, and in a quiet voice, he said, "No."


    "Mr. Johnston, the kid just wants to y. Besides, he just went to school, so you don''t have to be so


    strict on him." Lawrence looked upset when he saw how strict Jared was.


    "I''m his father, so I have the responsibility and the right to teach my kid. Even if you''re his godfather, I


    must ask that you do not coddle him too much. It''s not good for him," Jared said coldly with a piercing


    gaze.


    Noticing how tense the situation was, Nicole stepped up to stop them. "Jared, Leo."


    "You think he should spoil Nn too?" Jared narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely frustrated.


    "No, but this happened for a reason." Nicole took Nn by the hand and stood up, not wanting to


    borate further. "Besides, we just got done eating and were just about to leave."


    Then, she looked at Lawrence and continued, "Leo, I''m taking Nn back home. It''s gettingte, and


    it''s time for Nn''s afternoon nap."


    "Sure, go home then." Lawrence smiled warmly.


    Jared finally felt better when he saw Nicole leaving the ce. "Let''s go."


    "Mr. Johnston, you…" Max looked upstairs for a while.


    "Go on my behalf." Jared then carried Nn in his arms and left hand-in-hand with Nicole.


    Lawrence''s gaze darkened. He was aware that Nn was trying to create more chances for them, but


    now that Jared had shown up, he had ruined everything again.


    It was the happiest day in San Joto for Lawrence. When he was ying around with Nicole and Nn


    in the theme park, everything truly felt surreal, as if life should always be like this.


    Now, as he watched Nn and Nicole being taken away like that, he suddenly felt as though


    something had been taken away from him, which made his heart hurt.
