Chapter 2053
"Yeah, take them outside. It's the weekend after all," Gloria chimed in.
Nicole gave in when she saw Stanley and Spencer looking at her. "Okay. I'll take the two of you out to play."
As expected, Lana was satisfied.
She then looked at Jared and said, "You have to start preparing, Daddy!"
Jared arched his brow when he heard Lana's remark. Then, he turned to Nicole, who rolled her eyes at him in
response.
After dinner, everyone chatted away in the living room for a while before they retired to their rooms.
Nicole and Jared left the kids' room after the twins had fallen asleep.
Taken aback, they simultaneously uttered, "He's asleep."
"She's asleep."

Nicole looked at Nolan's room and lamented, "Nolan seems to have something on his mind, but he has fallen asleep
too.”
"It probably has something to do with Lawrence." Jared's gaze darkened.
He knew what Nolan was thinking, but he could not understand why Nolan was so persistent about Lawrence.1
What is it about me that didn't meet his expectations?'
"Perhaps he just needs time to adjust." Nicole sighed.
Jared raised his brow as he responded in a playful tone, "Are you trying to comfort me?"
Nicole paused as her cheeks flushed. "No."
She quickly went to their room, and Jared smiled as he followed her from behind.
When they were in their room, Jared grabbed Nicole and pinned her against the wall.
Then, he held her soft hand and placed it on his chest where the heart was. "My son doesn't acknowledge me, and
it really hurts. Shouldn't you be comforting me?"
Nicole was at a loss for words. She did not know how to respond to Jared. All she could feel was the pounding of his
heart on her palm. Then, her own heart gradually began to race uncontrollably, causing her to panic.
While Nicole was lost in her thoughts, Jared inched closer, his breath growing heavier. Nicole's scent became more
intoxicating to him, and his eyes darkened. He was going to lose control of himself.
Suddenly, he kissed her on the lips, an act which brought Nicole back to reality. She wanted to push him away, but
as none of her attempts were of any avail, she gave in.
After a long, deep kiss, Nicole's sense of rationality gradually returned. She looked at Jared's deep, profound
eyes, her cheeks burning as she blushed hard.
"You should go to bed. I'm going to take a shower." Nicole panicked and pushed him away before running to the
bathroom.
Watching her flee, a wicked smile grew on Jared's face, and his gaze softened.

Nicole arrived at the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation as usual. When she sat down, someone suddenly
knocked on her door.
"Come in," Nicole said.
Once the door opened, Steve walked in. "It's a success!"
Hearing that, Nicole smiled. "Congratulations, Steve."
"Why me? It's your plan that succeeded." Steve shook his head as he looked at Nicole with admiration.
"But you're the one who benefited from it. You're going to be really busy with this project from now on," Nicole
replied.
As the CEO of the company, Steve was the one who was in charge of the Project Department. Thus, it was naturally
his responsibility, and by extension, the responsibility of his department to ensure that such a major project was
completed well.
With that in mind, Steve boasted, "You're right, this is a significant achievement for the Project Department."
"You're really modest, Steve," Nicole chuckled. He is in love with money.'
"Oh, that's not necessary. The company is ours now. As long as we work hard, make our parents proud, and not let
Grandpa down, that's good enough." Steve shrugged as he felt that there was no need for false modesty.
