Chapter 2970


    "Got it," Nicole said, her eyes lingering on the document.


    It was indeed important, but it was something Er could handle. She wondered, ’Is there some issue


    at BayCorp that Er hasn''t mentioned to me?''


    Recalling Er''s absence at dinner the previous night, where he imed to have socialmitments,


    Nicole spected if he might be facing some problems.


    After a moment, Nicole called Lulu over.


    "Lulu, can you check on Er? See if he''s run into any trouble. " Nicole briefed her on the document


    and asked her to look into it.


    ’Alright, I''m on it," Lulu said, epting the signed document and heading to BayCorp.


    Nicole then dove back into her work. Time flew, and soon it was time to leave.


    She checked the clock, tidied her desk, and left.


    Lulu hadn''t returned, which worried Nicole a bit. It seemed there might indeed be a problem. But


    without any word from Lulu, Nicole guessed it wasn''t too serious.


    Deciding to pick up Nn and Lana first, she thought of Jared. They had agreed to take turns


    apanying the kids, especially after recent events. Even if Nn and Lana appeared okay, they


    needed extra care.


    Seeing Jared already waiting, Nicole quickly made her way to the car.


    As the car headed toward the kindergarten, Jared noticed Nicole''s preupied look.


    "Tired?" he asked gently.


    Shaking her head, Nicole replied, "Not really. It''s just Er; he might be in trouble. I''ve asked Lulu to


    check on him."


    Jared understood and didn''t probe further.


    When they arrived at the kindergarten, came out beaming, rushing into Nicole''s arms.


    "Mommy."


    The kids'' homeroom teacher approached, reassuring her," Mrs. Johnston, the children are safe here.


    The security Mr. Johnston arranged is all in ce."


    Nicole smiled. "Thank you, I appreciate it."


    She knew the teacher must have been concerned about the recent incident but was still trying to


    reassure them.


    Once Nicole and the kids were in the car, Lana tugged at Jared''s sleeve. "Daddy, can we have


    hamburgers and ice cream?"


    Jared nced at Nn, who eagerly nodded in agreement." Sure, let''s go get some."


    "Yay!” Lana cheered, and Nnughed along.


    The family visited a burger restaurant, enjoying a simple meal together.


    But Nicole asionally scanned their surroundings as she sensed something amiss.


    Jared, noticing her unease, whispered, "He''s here."


    Nicole''s frown deepened as she realized it wasn''t just her imagination. She had caught glimpses of a


    figure, indeed Lawrence.


    Holding Nicole''s hand, Jared reassured her, "Don''t worry, he''s unlikely to make a move."


    Nicole raised an eyebrow, seeking confirmation.


    Jared exined, "Lawrence is alone. If he had nned anything, he wouldn''t be here by himself."


    Jared had secretly arranged additional protection. If anything happened, Nicole and the kids would be


    safe.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
