Relieved, Samuel remarked, "That's good.
"It's getting late. Let's all head upstairs and get some sleep," Daniel advised everyone.
Gloria then looked at Nicole and said, "Nolan and Lana have already gone to their rooms. Why don't you go check
on them?"
"Alright," Nicole agreed, after which she and Jared headed upstairs.
In Nolan's room, the two kids were in the middle of a discussion, but the instant they saw Nicole and Jared entering,
they immediately fell silent and rushed toward them, exclaiming, "Mommy, Daddy, you're back!"
Holding Lana, Jared's gaze softened as he asked, "What were you two up to just now?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLana could not come up with a lie as she met her father's eyes, so she pouted and said, Daddy, it's a secret. Can
you not ask?"
She could not tell Jared, but she did not want to lie to him either. Therefore, the best option, at least for her, was to
request her father to not ask her about it.
Jared could not help but smile when he saw her being caught in such a dilemma. "Alright, I won't ask."
"Thank you, Daddy." Lana beamed as she wrapped her arms around Jared's neck. "Daddy, I want to go to sleep
now."
"Okay, go to sleep," Jared said as he carried Lana out of Nolan's room.
Nicole, who was still around, shot a glance at Nolan.
She could already guess what the two kids had been up to earlier, but instead of exposing them, she just asked,
"Did you not carry out any missions today?"
"Nope." Nolan shook his head. "Lately, it's been unusually quiet on the Hunters. It feels a bit strange."
"It has indeed become rather quiet," Nicole said with a hint of concern, for such unexpected calmness had given
her an uneasy feeling too.
"Mommy, do you think someone might be planning something big?" Nolan speculated, tilting his head.
Nicole bit her lip slightly and ruffled Nolan's hair. "If that's the case, you should stay off the internet for a while."
After all, Nolan was still a child, and even though he was pretty skilled, he might not be able to bite off more than he
could chew, especially in the case of unforeseen circumstances. Besides, he would not be able to fully comprehend
the complexities of the adult world.
"Okay, Mommy," Nolan obediently agreed.

He knew that his mother would never outright forbid him from doing something. In fact, Nicole would always help
him plan and decide. However, this was the first time Nicole had given him such a serious warning.
"Go to bed now," Nicole said with a gentle smile.
Hearing that, Nolan took his pajamas to the bathroom and laid down on his bed after he had taken a shower.
Nicole went over to tuck him in and sat next to him to keep him company for a bit. Then, they spoke about the
things that happened in school. Deep down, Nicole really wanted Nolan to live his earlier years as a normal child.
After Nolan had drifted off to sleep, Nicole and Jared returned to their own room.
There, she sat next to her bed and turned her computer on, before switching to a different interface and logging in
to the Hunter.
"What's going on?" Jared softly asked upon noticing Nicole's furrowed brows.
"The Hunter has been in a strange state recently, and even Nolan has noticed it. The situation might be more
complicated than I thought," Nicole replied while her fingers darted across the keyboard.
"Leave this to Preston and the Finley brothers," Jared suggested.
He could see how exhausted she had been as of late, and he did not want her to worry about anything else.
