Chapter 2267


    “Grandma, Tia’s my family. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of her. But you’re still energetic and hearty,


    so there’s no need to talk about this yet,” Nicole reassured Mrs. Wace Sr.


    “Lovely. That’s great.” Mrs. Wace Sr. felt more at ease at Nicole’s promise.


    They then settled Mrs. Wace Sr. in her room. Nicole made sure she wasfortable in bed and


    covered her with a nket.


    After leaving the room, Tia’s face was pale. She asked worriedly, “Is she alright, Nicole?”


    “She’s fine. She’s just worried about us.” Nicole smiled reassuringly. Mrs. Wace Sr. was in good


    shape, so those words were just casual remarks. Nicole did not want Tia to get overly concerned.


    Tia seemed relieved at Nicole’s exnation. “Oh, I see.”


    “But you should really think about what she said. Don’t you have any guy you like?” Nicole asked


    meaningfully with her eyebrow raised.


    “Nicole, not you too…’ Tia blushed.


    “Alright, I won’t push it. You should think about it yourself.” Nicole smiled and left.


    Left alone, Tia stood there, all nervous and flustered.


    Nicole went back to the front yard, but everyone else had already returned to their rooms. Seeing the


    living room empty as well, Nicole headed upstairs to Nn’s room.


    Sure enough, Jared was inside with the kids. Nn was quietly sitting in front of hisputer. His


    serious expression indicated he was focused. Meantime, Lana was pestering Jared to read her a story,


    so Jared started reading it to her.


    Nicole smiled at the sight, feeling warm. “This is the feeling of home, being with my loved ones.’


    Jared looked up and saw Nicole. He smiled at her and then continued with his story. Nicole did not


    interrupt them. She sat beside them and took out a book to read.


    “Oh yeah!” After a moment, Nn’s shout of surprise gathered everyone’s attention.


    “He must be done.” Nicole knew it at a nce, and she smiled.


    Nn proudly raised his chin, announcing, “Not only did Iplete the mission, but my ranking also


    rose.”


    “Woah, you’re so awesome!” Lana pped and cheered for her brother.

    In response, Nn smiled smugly, “You know it!”


    “You’re going to be more and more awesome in the future,” Lana said, looking proud. She knew her


    entire family was amazing at their job, and she was the luckiest person to be part of this family.


    Nn was embarrassed by his sister’s words, so he said earnestly, “I’ll work hard.”


    As Nicole observed the two kids engrossed in their conversation, she could not help but feel a wave of


    warmth wash over her and satisfaction within her.


    Looking at the time, Nicole reminded the children, “It’s gettingte. You should get some rest.”


    “Sure. I want Daddy to sleep in my room,” Lana said, opening her arms toward Jared.


    “No problem.” Jared picked Lana up and left Nn’s room in big strides, walking next door.


    Nicole waited for Nn to fall asleep before leaving the room. At the same time, Jared came out of


    Lana’s room.


    “What did you say to Nn earlier?” Jared whispered to her.


    “When are you referring to?”


    “Maybe a few days ago.” Jared was uncertain when it happened, but he could clearly sense the change


    in Nn.
