Chapter 1916
Zane turned around instinctively. He had not expected Nicole to be already there standing by the door.
Nicole had been thinking of how to break the news to Zane when she was walking, but to her relief she heard such
words from Zane as soon as she pried the doors open.
Zane looked at Nicole like a father looking at his daughter." Nicole, what are you doing here?"
Jared looked at Nicole as if he had been expecting her. 'I knew she would come personally.' Jared walked up to
Nicole, and supported her before turning to Zane and saying, "Then I'll take you on Nicole's behalf."
Nicole looked up at Jared. 'He's just gotten Zane's approval and couldn't even hold his horses.' Nicole noticed Zane’s
embarrassment. She could not bring herself to speak.
"I'm sorry, Zane," Nicole blabbered out abruptly, finding herself apologizing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZane immediately shook his head. "No, don't be. I'm sorry I didn't let you go sooner." Zane had long since
contemplated this issue when Nicole had returned to her family. He had been reluctant about it but now with Nicole
being pregnant, it was inevitable. Zane could not let Nicole take any more risks.
"You should've told me earlier," Zane said as he glanced at Nicole's stomach.
Nicole was immediately shy and looked back at Jared. "Did you break the news to him?"
Jared smiled. "Joyous occasions should be shared. After all, he can be considered the child's god-grandfather."
As soon as these words were said, Zane's expression softened. "Yeah, I can be the child's god-grandfather."
Through the eyes of everyone, they knew that Nicole and Zane had more than a subordinate-superior relationship.
Zane treated Nicole like his own daughter. But isn't saying her child is like my own god-grandson a bit too much?'
Nicole looked at Jared. 'This guy is smart! Zane was already sad to have me go but turning the tables to have Zane
be the god-grandfather had lightened up his mood.'
Nicole glanced at Zane who was in a better mood. She gave him a gentle smile. "Of course, you have all the rights
to that. It
Zane immediately called Nicole over and said, "Come sit down. We'll have dinner together. It's on me. No one can
talk me out of this.”
Jared smiled as Zane offered to buy them dinner. "Sure."
Nicole sat down with Jared's help, joining Zane. Zane enjoyed the dinner together with the couple and he kept giving
his blessing to them.
It was not long until the meal was over. Zane had to head back to the base and thus he bid farewell to Nicole. Upon
reaching the door, Zane said, "From now on, your withdrawal from the organization is effective. The future missions
are the least of your worries now."
Nicole's eyes became gloomy. "Oh... I see...'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole was reluctant to let that side of her go, but for the sake of her child, she had to let go of it temporarily.
"But if there's anything you need, both Jared and I will help you out." Nicole stared at Zane. The sudden
reassurance made him feel more at ease.
"I know." Zane smiled. He was glad that Nicole had proposed this to him. He got in the organization's car and drove
away.
Nicole watched as Zane drove away. 'I never thought I would leave the organization this way...'
Jared noticed Nicole's miserable look, and he brought her into a hug. "Don't worry about it. I can help Zane with the
missions now."
Nicole nodded. "I understand that. It's just... I never expected myself to leave Zane and the organization so early. I
feel like it's all my fault."
Nicole used to dream about following in the footsteps of Zane. Even her return to the Riddle family had not given
her thoughts to give up. But given the circumstances, Nicole had no choice but to give up both Zane and the
organization which were dear to her heart.
'This kind of feeling is like I’m abandoning Zane to fight this battle alone.' Nicole was uncomfortable as she thought
about it.
