Chapter 3088


    "No, that''s out of the question," Lawrence''s voice held a firmness that emphasized the decisiveness of


    his choice. Pursuing Nn and Lana at this point would jeopardize any chance of reconciliation in the


    future.


    Ian simply nodded, concentrating on driving, thinking to himself, ''If Mr. Royce can''t devise a n,


    there''s little I can do to assist.''


    Reclining in his seat, Lawrence stared out of the car window, lost in thought as the sun began to set.


    After finishing work, Nicole exited thepany and climbed into Jared''s car.


    "Max, let''s head to the kindergarten," Nicole instructed.


    "Got it,” Max responded, steering the car in the direction of the kindergarten.


    Jared nced at her, speaking softly, "Why the sudden decision to pick up Nn and Lana?"


    Nicole took a deep breath, biting her lip slightly as she recounted Lawrence''s visit to Jared, expressing


    her worry that Lawrence might try to see Nn and Lana secretly after she had turned him down.


    A shadow passed over Jared''s eyes, his voice turning cold. "If he has any sense left, he won''t dare."


    Lawrence should know better than to do anything Nicole had explicitly refused, especially now. It would


    only further damage their already strained rtionship.


    "Let''s hope so," Nicole murmured, her concern evident in her expression, prompting the visit to ensure


    the safety of Nn and Lana.


    "Lana, Nn," Nicole called, waving and smiling as she approached them.


    "Mommy!" Nn and Lana eximed happily, rushing over to her.


    After giving their hair a yful ruffle, Nicole took their hands. "Let''s go, today Daddy and I came to pick


    you up."


    "Is Auntie Tia busy today?" Nn asked, curious.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "No, Daddy and Mommy just happened to have some free time today," Nicole replied with a smile.


    Once in the car, Nn and Lana settled in next to Jared. "Daddy."


    "Let''s put your backpacks down," Jared said, gently moving their small backpacks to the side.


    As the car started moving, Lana looked up with excitement. "Daddy, I learned a new song at school


    today."


    "Why don''t you sing it for US, Lana?" Jared encouraged, a smile in his eyes.


    "Okay!" Lana happily began to sing the nursery rhyme, her soft, sweet voice filling the car with joy.


    As they drove further away, Nicole felt relieved not to have seen Lawrence.


    Unbeknownst to her, Lawrence emerged from a corner after they had left.


    He couldn''t resist the urge to check on the children but didn''t want to attract Nicole''s attention.


    Dressed inconspicuously and avoiding driving there, he hid in the corner, ensuring Nicole wouldn''t


    notice him.


    As Lawrence watched the car fade into the distance, the image of the close -knit family lingered in his


    mind, his expression growing increasingly solemn.


    Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared arrived home with Nn and Lana.


    "Grandpa, Grandma," Nn and Lana greeted Daniel and Gloria cheerfully as they approached.
