Chapter 2030
"Nicole, I'd like to invite you, Lana, and Nolan out for dinner today. Just take it as a celebration, for them having
found a preschool that they like." Lawrence looked at Jared before asking Nicole out.
Feeling challenged, Jared's gaze became even frostier.
His tone was menacing as he said, "It's a father's responsibility to find a school that's the best for them. It's nothing
worth celebrating."
"Don't stress it, Mr. Johnston. While you were not present in their lives, Nicole and I have been treating them well
too," Lawrence calmly said, though every word uttered was extremely provocative.
Jared's expression darkened. Lawrence had hit the nail on the head, for this was indeed Jared's regret.
Nevertheless, it was still not Lawrence's place to say something like that.
"Right. Since you're their godfather, it's only reasonable for you to look after them a little," Jared retorted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the end of the day, Lawrence was just their godfather. He had no blood relations with either of the children at all.
Lawrence clenched his jaw after Jared had put him in his place. Indeed, he was just their godfather, a position he
was not happy with; he wanted to be their father.
And due to their argument, a headache was beginning to set in for Nicole. "The kids had dinner in their school
already. Let's do it on the weekends. The kids can have some time to relax as well."
If they went out to eat today, Nicole might experience indigestion again. However, she could not reject Lawrence's
invitation as he was their godfather. Besides, he genuinely cared forthem as well.
"Mommy," Nolan protested.
He truly missed Lawrence, as it had been some time since he last saw him.
"On the weekend it is. Daddy can join us too." Lana accepted the invitation and included Jared in the arrangement
herself.
Jared looked at her, his eyes brimming with affection. 'She's just so thoughtful. What an angel.'
Nicole's lips twitched while she smiled. She did not want to invite Jared, as she was the only one who would be
affected whenever Jared and Lawrence were in the same room together. She was already getting a headache just
thinking about it.
"Sure." Lawrence brushed Lana's head affectionately.
He agreed to the arrangement pretty quickly, as if he was happy as long as the children were happy.
"Let's go home." Jared glanced over at Lawrence, held Lana up, and proceeded to walk to the car.
Lana did as she was supposed to right away and waved at Lawrence. "Bye-bye, godfather."
Lawrence smiled dotingly and nodded to Lana as well. "See ya."
"Godpa, why don't you come over to our grandma's house?" Nolan tugged on Lawrence's shirt as he did not want to
leave him.
Nicole instantly knew what Nolan was cooking up in his head, prompting her to pat his head and say, "Don't disturb
him. Let's go home."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'I know why he's so close to Lawrence, and I know how he feels about him. But I just can't bring myself to give
Lawrence anything,' she thought.
She had remained friends with Lawrence throughout the five years she was on the island. Now that she was back
here, there was simply no reason for her to take their relationship to the next level. For that reason alone, she was
not going to allow Nolan to fool around anymore.
Lawrence's gaze darkened when he saw Nicole stopping Nolan. 'Though she had lost her memories, she is still
willing to get close to Jared. But why!? Why can't she just give me a chance?'
Nicole did not notice the change in Lawrence's expression as her eyes were on Nolan.
She then looked at him with a smile and said, "Well, let's meet on the weekend."
"Sure, see you then," Lawrence responded gently.
"See you, godfather," Nolan said.
The boy knew that he could not change anything, so he left with his mother with a cloud of gloom over his head.
But before he could go, Lawrence patted his shoulder and said, "You're a man. When godfather is not around, be
sure to take care of Mommy."
