Chapter 1983

Jared stared at the arm Nicole had broken away from. At that moment, he felt like he was the third wheel.

Jared faked a smile and said, "In that case, you treat your guest well. I shall leave." After the words fell, Jared turned

around and left.

Seeing this, Lana started screaming, "Dad! Are you leaving?"

Lana's aggrieved look made Jared and her uncles feel distressed when they saw her. Even if Jared was upset, he

could only say, "I'll be right next door. You can come visit me if you want to, Lana."

"Okay..." Lana nodded and pursed her mouth in an angry manner.

Though Jared by nature was soft-hearted, the situation had forced him to leave temporarily. He needed time to sort

out his emotions.

Nicole watched Jared leave, thinking that she would be feeling relieved, but her heart was inexplicably heavy. Nicole

stared at Jared with some reluctance in her eyes while Lawrence's eyes were filled with glee.

Smiling, he said, "I'm sorry I made you guys fight about me."

Nicole shook her head. "No, it has nothing to do with you."

'It's Jared who cares too much about her... However, Nicole understands that she's important to him. He's been

missing her for five years and trying to make up for the loss for his wife. Watching her treat her husband as nothing

more than a stranger, it seems like she really doesn't know him well enough. And to have him be this

disappointed...'

Nicole could not help sighing before perking up and saying," Anyway, I have to thank you for bringing Lana to me

personally... and coming over to see me in person."

Now that Nicole had recovered her real identity, there was an indescribable awkwardness between her and

Lawrence.

"It's nothing." Lawrence took a deep breath before continuing to speak. "You know, when I found out you were the

daughter of the Riddle family, I was surprised and also very sorry. Perhaps if I knew you were from this family, I

would've persuaded you to come home sooner... That way, you wouldn't have been separated from your family for

so long."

Nicol saw the sincerity and regret in Lawrence's eyes. It was true that Lawrence did try to convince her to go home

and offered to help but after thinking over all the options, Nicole chose to stay there for the sake of her children.

Her children had never had a father. If something were to happen to her children, what would she do?

On top of it all, Lawrence had strongly opposed her going back to San Joto before. Nicole did not dare take risks as

she was unsure if she really had family in San Joto.

After gathering her thoughts together, Nicole let out a sigh of relief. "Actually, it's not really your fault. It was my

choice from the very beginning, so I still want to thank you for all your help and care over the years..."

Lawrence listened as Nicole said her goodbyes, and added," Not only in the past. In the future, I'll take good care of

you too."

Nicole was taken aback and looked up at him. Lawrence continued to smile as he spoke. "In all honesty, I've been

thinking of letting you come back to San Joto as soon as possible. I needed time to expand my influence here, and

now it's almost ready. My work's going to be temporarily based here until I win the market over."

Lawrence's eyes were filled with ambition, but his words were full of considerations for Nicole.

"I was thinking that when I win the market over, the children would be old enough to move back here. Then I would

bring you back here to find your lost family. I don't mind if you're the daughter of the Riddle family, but if you're

willing, I can also live with you in Hustuaburg. However, from the looks of it now, it seems like you don't need it..."

Lawrence ended his sentence with disappointment which made Nicole feel awfully depressed.

'It seems like he had this planned all along. Now it's me who seems like the bad guy who took advantage of his good

will and feelings...*
