“Bye.” Nicole replied and flashed her a smile.
Nicole waited for Lulu and Spencer to leave, after which she got into Jared’s car.
Then, she smiled and looked at Jared. “Have you been waiting for quite a while now?”
“Not really.” Jared held her hands with an affectionate look etched on his face.
With nothing but the humming of the engine around them, Nicole rested her head on Jared’s shoulder and sighed. “The entire fiasco with Harvey should come to an end tomorrow.”
“Are you unhappy about it?” Jared looked at Nicole.
“It’s not that. I just feel that Thomas might need some time to adjust.” Nicole replied, feeling bad for Thomas.
Jared’s tone, however, was cold when he replied, “I think the one who may need some time before he could face his family is Harvey.”
“Huh?” Nicole turned to Jared in confusion. ‘What does he mean?’
“Thomas will not stop you from doing this, but he will not sever ties with Harvey.” Jared elaborated.
With a frown, Nicole asked, “You mean Thomas will still arrange a backup plan for Harvey?”
If that was the case, things would take a turn for the worse for Nicole if Harvey did not learn his lesson.
“Do you think Thomas has the heart to let Harvey go broke?” Jared calmly replied with a question on his own.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
After giving it some thought, Nicole nodded. “Yeah, that’s true.”
Jared’s analysis was logical. If Thomas was capable of being rational and cold-hearted enough to let go of Harvey, the current Harvey would not have existed in the first place.
“Don’t worry. Even so, Thomas has his own boundaries.” Jared comforted Nicole.
At the very least, Thomas was willing to cooperate with them, so the success of Nicole’s plan was almost a certainty.
“Okay.” Nicole smiled, feeling assured by this.
The moment they arrived at the Riddle residence, they noticed that Lana was watching television alone in the living room. On the other hand, Nolan was missing, prompting Nicole to glance over at the flight of stairs.
“Nolan has returned to his room.” Gloria said, knowing what Nicole was thinking.
“Okay,” she nodded and made a beeline for the couch with Jared beside her.
The second Lana saw her parents, she lifted her arms and called out to Jared in her shrill little voice. “Daddy!”
“Why haven’t you gone upstairs?” Jared smiled and lifted Lana up.
“I was waiting for you and mommy to come back.” Lana replied, her voice crisp and clear.
Nicole pinched Lana’s nose and said, “I think your dad is the only person you miss.”
It was obvious that this little one only had her eyes for Jared, even though she did not fail to mention that she missed Nicole too.
“Hehe, I miss you too, Mommy.” Lana planted a kiss on Nicole’s cheek.
“You’re really a cheeky one,” Nicole teased.
Jared then patted Lana in the head. “Do you still want to continue watching TV?”
“No, I want to see Nolan.” Lana kicked her legs up in the air, prompting Jared to put her down.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Mommy and Daddy? You may eat first. I’ll head upstairs now.”
After Lana had spoken, she raced her way up to the second floor to find Nolan, leaving nothing but the pitter patter of her little feet for them to hear.
“Aw, this little girl.” Gloria smiled.
“Oh, you guys are all here.” Stanley called out upon entry.
After he had greeted them, he sauntered to the couch area.
As she had visited Cherry’s parents earlier, Daniel looked at Stanley and said, “We visited the Jean family today. They are still upset, but they do not blame you for it.”
“So, they’re not going to forgive Cherry?” Stanley frowned, understanding what Daniel meant.
“I guess they are still struggling to accept the reality of it all. Give them some time.” Gloria added.
“Cherry probably hasn’t settled down yet, so I think she is not going to contact them yet.” Stanley paused for a moment. “As long as she and her man are happy together, I am sure the Jean family will slowly come around.”
