Chapter 2067


    Watching the two children eat happily, a trace of amusement shed in Jared''s eyes as he handed a


    fruit box to Nicole. "Have some."


    Nicole felt inexplicably guilty because of what happened earlier. Though she knew that there was


    nothing wrong with having a meal with a friend, she could not help but feel nervous in front of Jared.


    "Daddy, why didn''t you find us earlier? If you had found us earlier, we could''ve yed on the ind


    together," Lana said while eating, not forgetting to question Jared.


    ''If Daddy had found us earlier, he could''ve taken us out to y and enjoy some delicious food. That


    would''ve been awesome.''


    Jared''s mood was already gloomy because of Lawrence, but he had no reason to me Nicole. After


    all, she did not remember him. However, Lana''s words made his heart ache.


    "I''ve been looking for you all this time." Jared''s gaze dimmed and his voice became hoarse.


    He had never given up searching for them for thest five years, but Nicole seemed to have vanished


    from the face of the earth without a single trace of her existence.


    However, unbeknownst to him, someone had erased all traces of Nicole, which was why Jared was


    always unsessful in searching for Nicole. He knew that Nicole had done it for the sake of the safety


    of their children, but Jared figured that Lawrence must have had a hand in it as well, and his intentions


    might not be as pure as Nicole''s.


    Lawrence''s exnation seemed reasonable on the day Jared and he met, but Jared did not fully


    believe it.


    Even if their country was dangerous, Lawrence could have told him, and he could have gone abroad to


    find Nicole. Besides, Lawrence had even given Nicole a new identity. Perhaps from the beginning,


    Lawrence never wanted her to be Nicole again.


    If Jared had known that seeking Lawrence''s help would lead to five years of separation from Nicole, he


    would rather do things the hard way than seek Lawrence for help.


    Suddenly, the air around Jared turned cold. Nicole looked at him and caught a glimpse of heartbreak


    and destion in his eyes. It left her heart aching.


    Even without her memories, Nicole knew from what her family had told her that Jared had put in a lot of


    effort in thest five years. But his attempts would always yield no results. ''It must be really difficult to


    bear such pain.''


    Nicole bit her lip and took the fruit box from him, casually opening it and eating. Her expression


    seemed indifferent as she said, "I almost died when I came back to San Joto. Lawrence saved me and


    it took nearly half a year for me to recover and be able to move freely. After that, I was afraid toe


    back for the sake of the children. So, it''s understandable that you couldn''t find us."


    Jared raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are youforting me?"


    "I just hope you can see the reality of things and not me yourself so much." Nicole rolled her eyes at


    him. ''I shouldn''t have been moved by him just now. I fell into his trap again.''


    Jared''s eyes darkened slightly. "Everything''s in the past. You''re back now."


    "Daddy—"


    When Lana was about to speak, Nicole immediately shoved some fruit into her mouth as she did not


    want her to speak. She was worried that she could not handle it.

    With her mouth full of fruit, Lana could only swallow back her words and eat the fruit.


    "Try this. I made it myself." Jared handed a dessert to Nicole.


    Nicole looked at him with a confused look. "You know how to make these?"


    "Are you doubting my skills?" Jared gestured with his eyes, suggesting that Nicole should try it to find


    out.


    "There''s coffee in this!" Nicole smelled it and could not contain her surprise.


    Jared smiled. They could not bring coffee with them, so he used coffee powder to make the dessert as


    he figured that she would like it.


    Nicole took a bite and nodded in satisfaction almost instantly. "It''s heavenly."


    Just moments ago, she was regretting not being able to drink coffee, and now there was a dessert that


    was made with coffee powder. It immediately satisfied her taste buds, and a warm feeling filled her


    heart. She did not expect him to be so thoughtful.


    "I''m d you like it." Jared smiled as if her satisfaction was his biggest motivation.
