Chapter 2085
Soon, the maids had prepared dinner, and Nicole and Jared started to eat.
"What were they doing? Why did they skip their meal?" Gloria whispered to Daniel, her eyes filling with concern as
she wondered if something had happened to the couple.
"Don't worry. The kids know what they're doing." Daniel, on the other hand, felt that since Jared and Nicole had not
mentioned anything, they should not pry. He trusted that they could handle it themselves.
Gloria glanced at them and still felt uneasy. At the same time, looking at them eating in harmony, she could not
bear to disturb them. So she gave up on asking them.
"Don't worry, Grandma. Mommy is super awesome! She’ll be fine," Lana reassured Gloria. In Lana's heart, she felt
Jared looked impressive and powerful too.
"Even if she really has something going on, Godpa would help Mommy too," Nolan chimed in, taking the opportunity

Daniel and Gloria exchanged glances. They noticed earlier that Nolan called Jared 'Uncle', and it felt a little
awkward. They thought they should take some time to teach the child, but this seemed like a different case.
'It seems like Nolan doesn't want to accept Jared,' Gloria mouthed.
'Maybe that's normal? Since Jared wasn't there when he grew up,' Daniel mouthed back.
'How's this normal? Why don't you look at Lana? She's extremely close with Jared,' Gloria responded.
In a few glances, Daniel and Gloria exchanged thoughts and reached a consensus. They both looked at Nolan.
Nolan seemed to be very resistant to Jared. Even though Jared was not there during his childhood, Nolan had been
back for quite some time. He should be familiar with Jared already. Yet, it was odd that the boy still rejected Jared
like this. They wondered if it was because of Lawrence.
Speaking of Lawrence, Daniel and Gloria had discussed his situation before. Lawrence had indeed saved Nicole, and
they should be grateful. However, they had never heard any news about Nicole for five years, so they still held
reservations about him.
"Nolan, is San Joto better than the island?" After thinking about it, Gloria decided to take a gradual approach, afraid
that being too direct would upset the boy.
Little did she know that Nolan was very sharp. He pretended to be naive and tilted his head, saying, "San Joto is
nice.
Grandma, Grandpa, and uncles are here. It's even better now that Godpa is here."
Looking at Nolan's content expression, Gloria was speechless, not knowing how to continue. She did not expect
Nolan to be so attached to Lawrence.
"I think San Joto is better, 'cause Daddy's here. That means our family reunited," said Lana, raising her chin at
Nolan to provoke him. In her heart, she thought, 'Grandpa and Grandma might not know, but I know how scheming
Nolan is!'
To Lana, she really liked Jared. Therefore, she was not going to let Nolan have his way. Moreover, she was

Listening to the children bicker, Gloria's expression became conflicted. Looking at the two innocent and beautiful
faces, she really could not connect their childish words to mature conversations. In the end, she concluded they
were just being childish.
Nicole and Jared finished their dinner and headed to the living room. Hearing the words of the two little ones, the
corner of Nicole's lips twitched. She thought, 'Mom and Dad might not know how quirky these two are, but I'm well
aware. I
"Nolan, Lana, don't get involved in the adults' problems.
We'll solve it ourselves," Nicole said, formally addressing this issue with the kids for the first time. Although she
understood their thoughts, she considered them mere childish musings that would not affect anything.
However, during their weekend outing, Nolan had turned on the GPS on Nicole's phone and allowed Lawrence to
follow them. Nicole was afraid that if she did not put a stop to it, things would get out of control.
"Mommy!” Nolan instantly understood Nicole's intentions and was unwilling to comply yet did not reject it outright
either.
"Nolan, do you want me to confiscate your account?" Nicole threatened.
