“Miss, are we still leaving?” The driver became a little impatient as he asked.
Icyln gritted her teeth and reluctantly got into the car.
After Nicole had entered the house, she saw that Daniel and Gloria were still watching TV with Nolan and Lana. So, she figured that Jared had not returned yet.
“Mommy!” Nolan and Lana ran happily toward her.
“Mom, Dad,” Nicole greeted her parents and led the kids back to the couch.
After sitting down, Daniel glanced outside and asked, “Did I hear you talking to someone else outside just now?”
“Oh, I bumped into Spencer, but he had something to do, so he has gone out again,” Nicole replied.
Daniel nodded upon hearing that, finally understanding what the noise was about.
“How’s Samuel doing?” Gloria asked in concern.
“He’s fine. Don’t worry. He’s recovering very well,” Nicole reassured Gloria.
Gloria heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. But June must be having a hard time.”
“It’s true but she seems to be enjoying Samuel’s presence, so let’s just allow him to stay there,” Nicole said with a faint smile.
She could see that June seemed to be getting used to living with Spencer. At this point, she figured that they might even get married soon.
“Mommy, why hasn’t Daddy come back yet?” Lana looked outside, still unable to see Jared anywhere.
“Daddy is busy.” Nicole said, offering the little one a simple explanation, though she did not really know what exactly Jared was busy with.
“Oh.” Lana uttered without pressing further. “Daddy is working so hard.”
Nicole brushed Lana’s head affectionately and smiled. It was perfectly normal for Jared to be busy managing such a huge company, but…
It was then that Nicole furrowed her brows a little. It did seem to her that Jared had become more exhausted recently. In fact, she hardly saw him working overtime this late in the past.
“It’s getting late. Let’s take the kids to sleep first,” Gloria suggested.
“Okay.” Nicole patted Nolan and Lana in the head. “Let’s go, it’s time to go to bed.”
“Okay,” Nolan and Lana replied and happily went upstairs.
Daniel, Gloria, and Nicole then followed suit.
Before they retired to their bedrooms, Gloria advised, “There
might be something going on at Johnston Corporation. You should keep an eye on Jared.”
“I will. Don’t worry,” Nicole promised.
Seeing her agreeing so readily, Gloria could not help but raise an eyebrow and say, “I told you to take action, and not just respond for the sake of responding to me.”
“Mom, I didn’t,” Nicole replied, feeling a little helpless as she really did not do so.
“Good.” Gloria nodded in relief. “I know these past few years have been tough for you out there, but it hasn’t been easy for Jared in San Joto either…not just for himself, but also for everything he has done for us. He has never given up on looking for you.”
They, as Nicole’s family, were on the verge of despair at that point. Jared was the only one who had never given up.
Biting her lip, Nicole promised, “Mom, eventhough I still don’t remember the past, I have felt something during this period of time. I know what to do.”
Gloria nodded with satisfaction. Hearing her daughter say this made her feel at ease.
Even though nothing seemed to have changed between Nicole and Jared when they returned, Gloria could not help but feel that there was something different from before.
Therefore, hearing her daughter say this had given her a sense of reassurance.
After everyone had returned to their rooms, Nicole tucked
Nolan and Lana in before returning to her own room. It was quiet, making her feel an inexplicable sense of loneliness.
