Chapter 2048
He watched as the trio walked further away, eventually disappearing at the entrance, well away from
sight. The air was cold around Lawrence, and he kept quiet, with nobody able to tell what was on his
mind.
Concurrently, Jared got into the car with Nicole and Nn outside of the restaurant.

Nn quickly scooted over to the furthest end of the seat after Jared had released him, looking slightly
awkward. ''It''s such a weird feeling. I kind of hate this guy, but I felt something that I cannot exin
when he was carrying me just now.''
Nicole bit her lips when she saw Jared igniting the engine. "Do you have someone or something to
tend to? I can take Nn home myself, actually."
He had probably left Max behind because he needed Max to take his ce in a meeting. At the same
time, Nicole became cognizant of why Jared had showed up at the restaurant. Mixed feelings arose
within her when she realized that Jared had pushed his work aside just to take her and Nn back
home.
"Nn had one too many cold drinks yesterday, so he ended up with an upset stomach when he was
at school. He contacted Lawrence. Well, he''s probably just used to it because he would contact
Lawrence whenever something happened back then."
Nicole bit her lips again. She figured that she should offer Jared an exnation, but she carefully kept
Nn''s n a secret.
Jared and Nn did not have the best father and son rtionship, so she did not want to create more
conflicts between the two of them.
"There won''t be any cold drinks or food in the house from now on," Jared responded.
Since the kids should not be consuming them, there was no reason for cold food and drinks to exist in
the house. It would be impossible for the kids to resist the temptation.
Nicole''s lips twitched as she did not expect Jared to do such a thing.
Nn put on a pitiful look as well. ''It''s not like I can''t eat them at all, I just can''t eat too much of it! There
goes my happiness.''
Jared looked really upset at that time, so all of them remained silent and kept to themselves.
Jared shot them a nce through the rear-view mirror, squinting his eyes. He believed that Nicole was
speaking the truth, although it was a far cry from the full story. However, he understood what Nicole
was trying to do, so he chose to let Nn off the hook.
When they got home, Gloria and Daniel were shocked to see Nn, who had returned all of a sudden.
"Why is Nn back so early? Where''s Lana? Why have you only taken Nn home?"
"He''s not feeling well, so we took him home to get some rest. We''ll pick Lana up from school when
she''s done with her sses." Jared said, maintaining hisposure.
Still, Gloria was worried. "Which part is hurting, Nn? Come and let Grandma have a look."
"Grandma, I''m fine now." Nn bowed his head andforted Gloria when he noticed how worried
Gloria was.
He did not expect this to happen. He just wanted his godfather and his mother''s date to be a sess.
He figured that his godfather would emerge victorious if he could win Nicole over. However, he did not
expect so many people to be worried about him.
"We can''t take this lightly. Let''s get a doctor to check on him," Gloria said, about to contact a doctor.
"Mom, we''ve already taken him to a doctor. The doctor said he will be fine if he gets some rest. It''s time
for his nap now too, so let''s just give him some time to rest," Nicole reassured.
Gloria then agreed, and replied, "Okay then, let him get some sleep."
"Sure, I''ll take him upstairs." Nicole then left the living room with Nn.
"Jared, if Nn and Lana need help next time, just let us know. We know you''re both extremely busy
with work, so just leave them to us," Daniel offered, feeling bad for both Jared and Nicole.
They had to work and take care of their children at the same time, which was really taxing.
"Sure, we will ask for your help if we can''t handle it." Jared agreed as he knew that they would feel
worse if he did not.
