Chapter 2251


    “Very clever, indeed.” Jared bopped Lana’s nose with a smile.


    In turn, Lana giggled with satisfaction.


    “Mommy, should we continue to wait for him?” Nn asked, ncing at Lana before turning to look at


    Nicole.


    “Let’s wait for a while longer,” Nicole replied. ‘This might be our only hope.’


    “Okay.” Nn nodded obediently, not daring to make any decisions on his own.


    Then, Nicole softly caressed Nn’s head. “Come on, let’s go to bed.”


    “Okay.” Nn nodded in agreement.


    After that, Jared shot them onest nce and said, “I’ll go put Lana in bed.”


    “Goodnight, Mommy. Goodnight, Nn.” Lana waved her tiny arms.


    “Good night.” Nn waved back.


    “Go take a shower and get ready for bed.” Nicole patted Nn on the back to usher him to the


    bathroom.


    Nn then grabbed his pajamas and waddled to the bathroom, and not long after, he emerged wearing


    them.


    Nicole watched as Nn climbed onto his bed, after which she tucked him in.


    “Mommy, are you and godfather never going to be together? ” Nn asked through gritted teeth.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Nicole sighed, staring at him as her eyes brimmed with love. “Nn, your godfather and I can only be


    friends.”


    “Is it because of Daddy?” Nn said, trying his best to sputter out the word ‘daddy’.


    “No,1 Nicole lowered her voice. “Even if I didn’te back here and meet your daddy, your godfather


    and I would only ever be friends.”


    Nicole had made it clear that even if these turns in her life had not urred, she and Lawrence would


    never be an item. Regardless of whether they were on the ind or not, Nicole’s sole goal was to take


    good care of both her children. Lawrence had, and would never be a part of her n in life, even


    though she was eternally grateful for his help.


    Gritting his teeth, Nn groaned, “Oh.” He thought, ‘It didn’t work!’


    Having noticed the grimace on his face, she gently patted his head. “Nn, you’re still too young to


    understand what Mommy is saying right now, but when you grow older, you will.”


    Nicole understood that Nn was still young andcked sufficient understanding of feelings and


    emotions.


    ‘It is clear that Nn and Lawrence are inseparable, though we can’t be together as a family. It is a


    certainty that Lawrence has yed arge part in his life, despite not being his birth father. Being his


    godfather is the next best thing for Nn, after all.’


    “Alright, Mommy. I’m going to sleep now. Goodnight,” he said.


    Hearing that, Nicole nted a kiss on Nn’s cheek. “Good night, baby.”


    Then, she switched the bedsidemp off before turning to leave Nn’s room, but once she was out,


    she bumped right into a sturdy figure. “Why are you out here standing and not in our room?”


    “I’m waiting for you.” Jared looked at Nicole before lifting her off her feet.


    “Hey! What do you think you’re doing?” Nicole lowered her voice, ring at Jared.


    “Going back to our room.”


    As soon as Jared had spoken, he tookrge strides toward their room with Nicole in his arms.


    Following the gesture, Nicole could feel her heart pounding in her chest, her shaky hands inadvertently


    gripping onto the hem of Jared’s clothes.


    Jared looked down at her, shed her a wicked smile, and made a beeline for their bed.


    Then, their fingers intertwined, and in a soft, coquettish voice, she called out, “Jared Johnston.”
