Chapter 2506
Nicole walked up to Jared's car after Lulu had left the place.
After getting in, she leaned back against her seat and heaved a deep sigh.
"Tired?" Jared glanced at Nicole with a hint of concern. He had heard about everything that had happened earlier
today and suspected that she was the one behind them.
"Just a little," Nicole shook her head. "I just have this feeling that Everett won't stay quiet. He might have other
plans in store."
Although Everett was caught in his share of roadblocks now, she was certain that he would not let up so easily.
"I'll get Max to help you keep an eye on him," Jared's gaze darkened as he spoke.
He knew that Everett would not just sit still and do nothing.
"It's okay, I can handle it." Nicole smiled confidently. "I'm just not sure what he’s done exactly."
However, she was very sure that Everett was up to something, and because of this, she needed to keep her wits
about her.

ask."
"Okay," Nicole nodded.
Although she was quite certain that there would not be any danger to her person, she did not want Jared to worry
about her.
After a while, their car pulled up at the entrance of the kindergarten.
Then, Nicole got out of the car, wanting to get Nolan and Lana from the entrance, only to find Lawrence waiting
there.
"Why are you here?" Nicole instinctively asked, surprised.
"I came to see the kids," Lawrence replied with a smile.
"Didn't we agree on bringing the kids to the amusement park during the weekend?" Nicole asked, feeling a tad bit
puzzled.
They had already discussed their weekend plans prior to this, and the agreement was that Lawrence would be
seeing the kids just a few days later.
But it was then that Lawrence flashed her a crestfallen look. "I'd really love to go to the amusement park with
them, but unfortunately, something came up, and I'll have to leave San Joto for a few days. So, I thought I'd visit the
kids before I go."
"If you're busy with work, we can still go to the amusement park when you come back. The kids will understand."
There and then, Nicole learned that he was going to leave San Joto.
"Whatever it is, I promised to take them there. So, I'd still like to apologize to them in person."
As they continued chatting, two tiny figures approached them.
"Mommy, Godpa!" Nolan and Lana lifted their heads and greeted the two adults with a smile.
"Done with school, yeah?" Lawrence said affectionately and patted Nolan's head.
"Godpa, we thought we were going to the amusement park this weekend. Why are you here to pick us up today?"
Nolan asked curiously.
Gently, Lawrence explained, "Well, something happened at the last minute, and I'll have to leave San Joto for a few
days, so I won't be able to make it this weekend. I'm here to apologize."
"What? You're leaving?" Nolan pouted. "We can't go to the amusement park anymore, then."

apologetically." Of course, to show you my sincerity, I'm going to take you guys out for dinner tonight."
"But we've eaten already," Lana said in a sweet voice. "I think we'll have Mommy bring us to the amusement park
this weekend. You don't have to worry about us because Daddy will be there too."
Lawrence lowered his gaze at Lana and flashed her a defeated smile. "Okay then, you guys can go ahead first.
We'll head to the amusement park after I come back."
He knew what Lana's intention was from the get-go, but he just could not express the frustration he was feeling
within.
When they were on the island, Lana would always show a sense of aloofness around other people, including him,
who was supposed to be her godfather. He would occasionally see her smile, but he had never seen Lana forming a
close bond with anyone except Jared.
Lana felt a sense of familiarity with Jared right after meeting him, which made Lawrence jealous. Perhaps it was
simply the bond between father and daughter. There was no other explanation.
"Just as they said, they've already eaten in the kindergarten. Why don't we have a meal when you come back
instead?" Nicole smiled and politely suggested.
