Chapter 2068

"Daddy spent a long time doing this, but I helped too," Lana said proudly when she saw how much Nicole was enjoying it.

Nicole patted Lana's head affectionately. "Thank you so much."

"But Daddy did most of the work. Aren't you going to thank him too?" Lana asked with a smile.

Nicole felt a little helpless as she thought inwardly. 'I should've never given Lana a chance to speak.'

"It's fine. I enjoy cooking for Mommy very much." Jared handed the dessert without coffee powder to Nolan and Lana and said, "This is yours."

"Thank you, Daddy," Lana said and lifted her chin toward Nicole as if to say, 'Mommy, this is how you do it.'

"Thank you, Uncle Jared." Nolan was very irritated, so he deliberately said the word 'uncle' loudly.

Everyone paused for a moment. Then, Nicole softly bit her lip, trying to suppress her laughter. 'I guess Jared is both happy and frustrated to have these two children.'

"Why are you smiling?" Jared leaned closer to Nicole and said in an enchanting voice as if he could read her mind.

"N-nothing." Nicole tried her best to not laugh because she knew that Jared would give her hell if she laughed out loud.

Although she managed to hold it in, her restrained expression gave her away. Jared's gaze turned darker as he spoke in a slightly low tone, "Are you happy that your son called me uncle?"

"I'm not." Nicole immediately shook her head as she put on a straight face and comforted Jared. "Look, Lana has already accepted you. Just give Nolan a little more time."

Jared looked at Lana and felt slightly better. 'My daughter is more considerate. I'm actually starting to hate this son of mine now.'

Nolan noticed how Jared looked at him and he lifted his chin arrogantly at Jared as if to challenge him.

Jared held Lana in his arms and asked in a gentle voice, "What else do you feel like eating?"

"Thanks, Daddy, but I'm already full."

"Go play then."

"Okay!"

Nolan looked away awkwardly after seeing the affectionate interaction between Jared and Lana.

"Jared, how old are you?" Nicole glared at Jared, annoyed. She could not believe that Jared was actually being so petty with a child, a child of his own.

Jared smirked without saying anything. He just wanted to teach that little brat a lesson.

Feeling defeated, Nicole rolled her eyes at him and began cleaning up. Then, Nolan and Lana helped her.

Everything was put away very quickly, and they continued walking forward.

Jared's mood got noticeably better without Lawrence's presence. A family trip was meant to be for family only. Lawrence's presence was simply unnecessary.

On the other hand, after leaving, Lawrence went back to the city.
