Chapter 2229
"Okay," Lana agreed.
Nolan frowned and furrowed his eyebrows. 'Why is mommy calling that evil man those names?’
"Nolan, come on!" Lana said as she tugged on Nolan to follow her.
Nolan followed obediently. He could not help but frown, feeling something was off.
Nicole quickly went back into the room once she saw the twins leave. She quickly washed up and changed into a set
of fresh clothes.
Jared was still fast asleep by the time Nicole had finished getting ready. Nicole silently slipped out of the room,
closing the door gently behind her.

breakfast.
"Nicole, why didn't you call Jared to join us?" Gloria asked, noticing Nicole had come downstairs alone.
"He came back very late last night. I thought he could use some rest," replied Nicole.
"Oh..." Everyone in the dining room heard it and became conscious by lowering down their voices.
Once breakfast was over, everyone left to do their own things. Gloria and Daniel were the only ones left in the living
room.
"Is there something going on with the Johnston family recently? Jared keeps working overtime until late hours."
"Probably," Daniel agreed. "We can't help them much, but we can probably tell Nicole to look after Jared a little bit
more.'
"I'm sure she will. I believe Jared will sort out his manners soon too," said Daniel profoundly.
'If Jared can't solve this matter easily, none of us could,' Daniel thought to himself.
Daniel and Gloria headed upstairs as they talked.
Meanwhile, Nicole had made a beeline to the office in the Riddle Residence. Lulu also happened to have arrived at
the same time.
She waved at Nicole happily. "Nicole!"
"Come on. Let's go inside," said Nicole. They both entered the building.
"It looks like it was nothing after all," joked Nicole, noticing that Lulu was apparently happy.
Lulu's cheeks flushed red. Embarrassed, she admitted, "Of course it was nothing."
"Really?' Nicole asked, raising her eyebrows. A playful look flashed in Nicole's eyes. "Someone seemed very down in

Lulu was embarrassed and could not help but deny. "No, I wasn't."
"I didn't say it was you," teased Nicole.
Lulu's face was flushed red, knowing Nicole was pushing the right buttons. "Stop teasing me or I'll ignore you."
Nicole laughed cheerfully as Lulu became more embarrassed.
Soon, they reached the office. Nicole glanced at the pile of documents on her desk before snapping back to reality.
Lulu had also recovered and started to help Nicole sort out the documents before starting to work.
Meanwhile, at the Riddle Residence. Jared had just fluttered his eyes open. He looked at the time and got up from
bed.
Jared was awake when Nicole left. He could not help but admire Nicole acting all wary in fear of waking him up.
Jared quickly washed up, changed into a pair of fresh clothes, and left the Riddle residence.
