Chapter 2148
“Don’t call me Mrs. Johnston.” Nicole’s cheeks flushed and burned as Jared addressed her as Mrs.
Johnston.
“Mommy.” The kids returned, as the event was about to begin.
With everyone seated, the sports day event was about to start. It was the first ever sports day event
that Nn and Lana had participated in with both of their parents in attendance. As such, they were
more than eager to participate in all the games and events.
Meanwhile, Iris, who was standing outside the kindergarten, was spectating the sports day event. She
was experiencing the shock of her lifetime when she noticed that Jared was participating in the
asion instead ofing into the office.
‘I’ve been by his side for so long, yet I’ve never even once heard about Jared joining kindergarten
events,’ Iris thought to herself, and the harder into the rabbit hole she dove into, the weirder it felt.
The document she had brought with her was an excuse with which to sate her curiosity once and for
all, as he had been feeling all giddy on the inside. However, what she did not expect was that Nicole
would be here today.
‘So, this is the woman Mr. Johnston has chosen to marry? Why did he choose a woman with children
already? What’s so good about this woman?’ she wondered.
Iris continued standing outside the kindergarten, staring at Jared and Nicole with their two children, the
resentment in her heart growing with each passing second. Never before had she ever witnessed the
tenderness and look of affection on Jared’s face.
The barrage of information was too much for Iris to stomach, and as a result, she became restless as
though she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
“Miss Brown, weren’t you in a hurry with the document earlier?” Max’s voice red out, shattering her
train of thoughts.
Iris returned to her senses at once, the growing sense of panic in her eyes vanishing.

With a smile, she turned around and regained herposure. “I’m about to head back to thepany.
Do you have any arrangements?”
“No,’ Max replied calmly. “Anyway, here is a gentle reminder that Mr. Johnston would not have the time
for matters like these in the future. Instead, you may approach me directly if there’s ever a need for it.”
Iris’ smile vanished, before she boldly replied, “Okay, I’ll keep that in mind next time.”
Max’s words had once again caught her off guard. ‘Mr. Johnston has always been too busy, but now
he’s apanying other people’s children? It seems that they’re more important than work.’
‘The Jared Johnston I knew would never act like this. Is it because I’ve never figured out what Mr.
Johnston was really like? Or is this Nicole person so talented that he just couldn’t resist her? No… I
can’t let them go on like this.’
Max scrutinized Iris and frowned, not understanding the strange behavior of hers. ‘She would not be as
short- tempered as this, usually.’
Without thinking too much into the context of the issue, he watched as Iris got into her car and left.
Then, he too entered the kindergarten shortly after.
Soon, it was lunch time, and the sun was ring down at them. Just like that, sports day was over, and
both Nicole and Jared were already bringing the twins home.
On the ride home, Nicole looked at Nn’s and Lana’s which had been flushed red. She reached over
to help wipe the sweat off their faces with a ply of tissue.
“Look at you guys. You’re all sweaty,” Nicole remarked with a smile.
“It was fun.’ Lana wrapped her arms around Jared’s arm.
Then, she cutely pleaded, “Daddy, will youe with me to events next time?”
“Sure.” Jared responded dotingly.
“Daddy is the best!” Lana cheered as she threw herself into Jared’s arms and nted a kiss on his
cheek.
Jared and Nicole were both stunned by Lana’s actions, whereupon they broke out into smiles.
Then, Jared’s eyes softened as he embraced Lana in his arms.
‘I will make up for the past five years of their lives. I will be there whenever they need me,’ he thought.
Lana rested against Jared’s arms, grinning contentedly.
