Chapter 2172


    Nicole was somewhat surprised. “When did this happen?” ‘Why didn’t Lawrence tell me about it? The


    invitation came from Nn instead.’


    “Oh, I chatted with Godpa online for a whilest night,” Nn replied truthfully.


    “Do you want to go?” Nicole frowned, seeming hesitant.


    Nn nodded. “Yes, I haven’t been to Godpa’s house ever since we came to San Joto.”


    When they were on the ind, he used to visit Lawrence’s house frequently. But now that they were in


    San Joto, they did not have as much freedom as before.


    “Alright.” Nicole agreed, looking at Nn’s eager expression.


    Nn was delighted. “Thanks, Mommy!”


    “I want to go too, Mommy.” Lana tugged at Nicole’s clothes, looking like she was anticipating.


    Nicole smiled and replied, “Of course, Lana, you’ll join them too.”


    After the kids had turned off their lights and went to sleep, Nicole returned to her own room.


    But she was confused when she found that the room was empty. ‘Where’s Jared?’


    “Jared?” Nicole called out tentatively.


    “Over here.” Jared s voice came from the balcony.


    Nicole went to the balcony and looked at her husband.” What are you doing here?” she asked softly.


    “Just enjoying the breeze.” Jared pulled Nicole closer and held her hand. “Is it cold? You are feeling


    chilly?”


    “I’m fine.” Nicole stood beside Jared as she looked at the night sky. “What are you thinking about?”


    She figured that he might have something on his mind, which was why he was here enjoying the


    breeze.


    Jared gently embraced Nicole and responded with a question, “Can you tell me about your time on the


    ind?”


    “Do you want to hear about it?” Nicole looked at Jared. She thought that it was just an ordinary life


    without anything special.


    “Yeah.” Jared nodded, agreeing softly.


    “It’s really nothing special. The people on that ind are very simple. I took care of Nn and Lana,


    and we didn’t experience any particrly bad things. I took on missions on The Hunters website to


    support the three of us. Later on, when Nn grew older, he showed a talent for hacking, so I started


    teaching him…”


    Nicole casually talked about her life on the ind, but Jared listened attentively. It was like he was


    memorizing everything just to feel like he was a part of it.


    Holding Nicole tighter, Jared knew deep down that although Nicole spoke casually, raising two children


    on her own could not have been as easy as she described.

    Suddenly, the two fell silent. The gentle breeze brushed against them, whispering in their ears.


    Leaning into Jared’s embrace, Nicole bit her lip slightly. She mustered up her courage and said, “Jared,


    about our wedding…”


    “It’s no rush. I can wait for you.” Jared gently kissed her temple.


    When everyone was discussing their wedding back there, he did not show any reaction as he believed


    that he should respect Nicole’s decisions. Even though she no longer resisted him, epting that they


    were a married couple and proceeding with the wedding would still put some pressure on her. So, he


    did not want her to have any burdens. ’


    “Why would you…” Nicole looked up at him in surprise as she thought he would want to have the


    wedding as soon as possible.


    However, before she could finish her sentence, their lips coincidentally brushed against each other.


    Nicole was momentarily stunned, and her mind went nk.
