Chapter 2131


    “Why don''t we let Godpa go?" Nn said, raising his eyebrows. He really hoped Lawrence would go,


    since


    Lawrence had been the one to attend these activities when they were on the ind.


    “That''s not right. We have Dad.” Lana pouted, firmly rejecting the idea.


    “Godpa has been doing it anyways. What does it matter?” Nn reminded Lana meaningfully.


    Lana insisted, "It''s different now that we have our real Dad. Mommy and Daddy should be the ones


    who join us for parent-child activities.”


    Jared patted Lana''s shoulder, saying, "Alright, Mommy and Daddy will both go.”


    “Yay, I knew Daddy was the best!" Lana smiled brightly while nodding her head.


    “Stupid.” Nn rolled his eyes at his sister in frustration.


    "No, you''re the stupid one. You''re the dumbest!” Lana stuck out her tongue at Nn.


    Nicole looked at the children and smiled wryly. “Alright now. We''ll be attending your parent-child event.”


    "Hooray!" Lana cheered with excitement, while her brother bit his lip sadly.


    Nn said, "I''ll inform Godpa and let hime too.”


    "He can''te,” Jared said, frankly.


    Unconvinced, Nn frowned. "He''lle if I want him to.And you can''t stop him.”


    “He''s gone to Mecrounia,” Jared informed. He was not stopping Lawrence from attending. It was simply


    a fact that Lawrence could not show up. Nicole''s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Jared. ''

    Mecrounia? But Lawrence clearly said he was going to


    Crescent Ind,’ Nicole thought.


    Jared exchanged nces with Nicole. Although he did not speak, Nicole could understand his thoughts


    by reading his eyes. Nicole wondered the reason why Lawrence lied to her. Nicole did not continue the


    topic any further in front of the kids.


    Dropping his head, Nn wilted a bit when he heard


    Lawrence had left. He thought, ‘It''s such a great opportunity, but Godpa isn''t here. So is there any


    parent-child activity I could join if he''s not here? No one wants to apany me.’ Sensing Nn''s


    depressed state, Nicoleforted him. " Lawrence has his own things to take care of. He has his own


    life.”


    They could not rely too much on Lawrence. They could be friends but never a family. Nn tilted his


    head at Nicole, hesitated, and bit his lip. Lawrence once told him that it was his dream to be able to


    apany them for life.


    “Nn, there are things that you''ll only understand once you grow up.” Nicole stroked her son''s head


    soothingly. She understood Nn''s dependence on Lawrence, but some things were impossible to


    change. Even if they had not returned to San Joto and reconciled with Jared, Nicole and Lawrence


    would have still stayed friends.


    “Nn.” Lana gently tugged on her brother''s sleeve, her voice gentle. "Nn, we have Daddy now. We


    don''t need someone else to be our father."


    Uneasy, Nn did not respond to Lana''s words. So he turned his head to look out the car window.


    Lana knew Nn must be in a bad mood and wanted to lean over tofort him. Nicole held the girl


    back and shook her head, signaling Lana to leave Nn alone.


    Nn was a perceptive child. So, he must have understood what Nicole implied. She figured Nn


    only needed some time to reorganize his thoughts.


    Nn nibbled on his lips and obediently settled down. Although the siblings quarreled often, Lana was


    rather upset when Nn was upset. She only hoped her brother would get better soon.


    After a while, the car drove into the Riddle family residence.


    The family got out of the car and headed to the living room.
