And as if Jared could read Nicole's mind, he held her hands and said in a gentle voice, 'Don't worry. The school
you've chosen for Nolan and Lana is perfect forthem. I've already arranged everything. No one would be suspicious
of their identities.”
Jared had done all the necessary preparations and precautions. Even if he made an appearance, no news about it
would leak out. The kids would have to attend school, but it went without saying that they should not be put in any
danger.
Hearing this, Nicole felt a sense of peace and replied, "Alright. As long as everything is in place."
It was appropriate for Jared to be ready. Even if there were no issues with the information, the two of them would
have to come in contact with their kids, one way or another. If any unscrupulous individuals were to happen upon it,
they would put the kids in danger. That was the last thing Jared wanted to witness and deal with.
By the time they arrived at the Riddle family manor, Samuel and Spencer had not returned, and the only ones at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthome were Daniel, Gloria and Stanley. They were all accompanying Nolan and Lana, helping them with the pile of
presents on the coffee table.
'Mommy! You're back!" Nolan ran over happily.
Then, Lana followed closely from behind and hurried into Jared's arms. ’ Daddy!"
Carrying Lana up, Jared promptly asked, "What are you guys doing?'
"We're going to school tomorrow. These are the presents which grandpa, grandma and Uncle gave us," Lana said,
waving her chubby hands while pointing at the coffee table.
A slight twitch crossed Nicole's lips as she heard that. "That's a little too much."
'It's not much. These are all things which the kids would need, or perhaps like." Gloria flashed a loving smile.
'These are not even enough for the kids,' the old woman thought.
"Mommy, Daddy, how about the both of you? Did you prepare any presents for us?" Lana blinked her eyes in
anticipation.
'If there are presents, Mommy and Daddy would prepare some for us too, right?1 she wondered.
Nicole pinched Nolan's nose lovingly and said, "You greedy one! Are you not satisfied with this amount of gifts
already?"
"I guess that means there are no presents." Lana pouted, looking as if she was really disappointed.
"Lana, what present do you want?" Jared instantly felt guilty, evoking his desire to fulfill all of Lana's requests.
"I want..." Lana paused, feeling too perplexed to offer a complete response.
What sort of present could she possibly desire? As things stood, it seemed that Lana did not need anything else. It
was just that everyone else had given her a gift, so her parents should each give her one too.
Nicole was trying hard not to laugh as she took Lana away from Jared.
She placed the little one down on the couch, sat down together and smiled. "We do not have any presents, but we
will send you both to the kindergarten ourselves. Is that okay?"
"Didn't you promise us that long ago? This does not count!" Lana protested, not wanting to give in.
Nicole could not help but massage her forehead. 'This girl is such a cheeky one. Who did she take after?'
A smile flashed across Jared's eyes, after which he said, "I will promise you one thing. The moment you've thought
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof the gift that you want, you will tell me then. Is that fine?'
It was only then that Lana happily replied, "Sure. It's a deal. Pinky promise!”
After Jared had sealed the deal by hooking his pinky finger with Lana's, she continued unboxing her presents
joyfully.
Nolan watched the entire scene as it played out before him and pursed his lips. Then, he quietly unboxed his
presents. He had to control himself. At the end of the day, it was just a request. He could surely ask for it from his
godfather.
Keeping a close eye at Nolan's movements, Jared raised his eyebrows subtly. 'This pretentious little one.'
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Early in the morning, Nolan and Lana had woken up feeling totally
ecstatic of going to school. It was not just because they could go to school; most importantly, they finally had their
parents to send them there. From now onwards, they would not be questioned or ridiculed by the other kids.
When Nicole and Jared headed downstairs, the two cuties were already sitting at the couch, waiting with bags on
their back.
"Don't tell me that the both of you are planning to skip breakfast and go to school right away," Nicole remarked,
becoming instantly crossed.
"Even if we eat, we'll have to carry these bags behind our back," Lana replied as she zipped her bag straps up.
It was as if she was worried that others would take it away from her
