Chapter 2148
"Don't call me Mrs. Johnston." Nicole's cheeks flushed and burned as Jared addressed her as Mrs. Johnston.
"Mommy." The kids returned, as the event was about to begin.
With everyone seated, the sports day event was about to start. It was the first ever sports day event that Nolan and
Lana had participated in with both of their parents in attendance. As such, they were more than eager to
participate in all the games and events.
Meanwhile, Iris, who was standing outside the kindergarten, was spectating the sports day event. She was
experiencing the shock of her lifetime when she noticed that Jared was participating in the occasion instead of
coming into the office.
'I've been by his side for so long, yet I've never even once heard about Jared joining kindergarten events,' Iris
thought to herself, and the harder into the rabbit hole she dove into, the weirder it felt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe document she had brought with her was an excuse with which to sate her curiosity once and for all, as he had
been feeling all giddy on the inside. However, what she did not expect was that Nicole would be here today.
'So, this is the woman Mr. Johnston has chosen to marry? Why did he choose a woman with children already?
What's so good about this woman?' she wondered.
Iris continued standing outside the kindergarten, staring at Jared and Nicole with their two children, the resentment
in her heart growing with each passing second. Never before had she ever witnessed the tenderness and look of
affection on Jared's face.
The barrage of information was too much for Iris to stomach, and as a result, she became restless as though she
was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
"Miss Brown, weren't you in a hurry with the document earlier?" Max's voice blared out, shattering her train of
thoughts.
Iris returned to her senses at once, the growing sense of panic in her eyes vanishing.
With a smile, she turned around and regained her composure. "I'm about to head back to the company. Do you
have any arrangements?"
"No,’ Max replied calmly. "Anyway, here is a gentle reminder that Mr. Johnston would not have the time for matters
like these in the future. Instead, you may approach me directly if there's ever a need for it."
Iris' smile vanished, before she boldly replied, "Okay, I’ll keep that in mind next time."
Max's words had once again caught her off guard. 'Mr. Johnston has always been too busy, but now he's
accompanying other people's children? It seems that they're more important than work.'
'The Jared Johnston I knew would never act like this. Is it because I've never figured out what Mr. Johnston was
really like? Or is this Nicole person so talented that he just couldn't resist her? No... I can't let them go on like this.'
Max scrutinized Iris and frowned, not understanding the strange behavior of hers. 'She would not be as short-
tempered as this, usually.'
Without thinking too much into the context of the issue, he watched as Iris got into her car and left. Then, he too

Soon, it was lunch time, and the sun was glaring down at them. Just like that, sports day was over, and both Nicole
and Jared were already bringing the twins home.
On the ride home, Nicole looked at Nolan's and Lana's which had been flushed red. She reached over to help wipe
the sweat off their faces with a ply of tissue.
"Look at you guys. You're all sweaty," Nicole remarked with a smile.
"It was fun.' Lana wrapped her arms around Jared's arm.
Then, she cutely pleaded, "Daddy, will you come with me to events next time?"
"Sure." Jared responded dotingly.
"Daddy is the best!" Lana cheered as she threw herself into Jared's arms and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Jared and Nicole were both stunned by Lana's actions, whereupon they broke out into smiles.
Then, Jared's eyes softened as he embraced Lana in his arms.
'I will make up for the past five years of their lives. I will be there whenever they need me,' he thought.
Lana rested against Jared's arms, grinning contentedly.
