Chapter 2745


    With a plop, the pasta fell back onto the te as Nicole snapped back to reality.


    “Don’t get nervous. You’ll get to decide the time,” Jared teased with a smile.


    Nicole blushed in embarrassment. “I’m not nervous. It’s just that it felt so sudden.”


    Jared had never mentioned the wedding preparations to Nicole, who thought it was still in the process.


    Thus, she was rather shocked to be informed that everything was ready.


    “Everything has been ready for a while now,” Jared said softly.


    Nicole lightly bit her lip, realizing that Jared had indeed waited on her for quite a while. Due to their


    current circumstances, it would not be wise for them to carry the wedding ceremony out. They had yet


    to neutralize Lawrence and Everett, and now, the sudden emergence of the Eastern Falcon had only


    added to theirundry list of threats to be dealt with.


    All of these groups and individuals had their eyes on the couple, so Nicole thought it was best for her to


    wait a little longer.


    Even then, she could not hide the look of guilt on her face as she looked at Jared. “Can our wedding be


    dyed a little longer?”


    Nicole knew it might not be a good time to suggest this. However, she would not be able to hold the


    wedding peacefully unless her enemies had been dealt with.


    Besides, she did not wish to have any regrets, and was worried that something might go wrong during


    the wedding. After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, one that she hoped would unfold


    smoothly with everyone’s heartfelt blessings.


    “I told you. You get to decide the time,” Jared smiled as he held her hand andforted her. “There’s


    no rush.”


    Jared knew why Nicole had reservations about getting married early, so he had thrown the ball to her


    court, giving her the final say.


    Nicole smiled at how considerate he was, feeling warm and fuzzy within.


    Then, she nodded and replied, “Alright then.”


    “Are Mummy and Daddy getting married?” Lana asked excitedly.


    Nicole turned around to find Nn and Lana standing behind them.


    With a yful smile etched on her face, she chided them,” Why did you eavesdrop on our


    conversation?”


    “We didn’t eavesdrop. We were just listening out in the open, ” Lana proudly raised her head.


    Nicole chuckled and pinched Lana’s cheek upon hearing her retort. “Weren’t you watching television?”


    She could not help but wonder why the kids were standing there and listening in to their conversation.


    Mommy, Lana got sleepy and wanted to go to bed,” Nn exined. “We were going to tell you, but


    then, we heard you talking.”


    “It’s your nap time, isn’t it? Okay,e on,” Nicole said.


    As she had finished her food, she brought the kids upstairs.


    With Nicole handling the kids, Jared headed back to his own bedroom.


    While waiting for Nicole’s return, Jared got busy with the documents his secretary had sent him. Before


    long, Nicole came in with her voice lowered, not wanting to disturb Jared. She then grabbed some of


    her files from her folder and read them by the window.


    The room was quiet, with nothing but the shallow breaths of the two and the sounds of fingers darting


    across the keyboard every now and then. As the sunlight streamed into the room, giving everything a


    golden hue, the couple sat and worked on their documents in silence.


    Time passed in a sh, and soon, dusk was upon them. By six in the evening, the living room came to


    live.


    Knowing that the family had returned, Nicole went to check on the kids and inform them, “Your


    grandparents are back. Let’s go downstairs.”

    “Alright,” Nn and Lana replied, whereupon they dropped their toys and followed her downstairs.
