Chapter 2131
"Why don't we let Godpa go?" Nolan said, raising his eyebrows. He really hoped Lawrence would go, since Lawrence
had been the one to attend these activities when they were on the island.
"That's not right. We have Dad." Lana pouted, firmly rejecting the idea.
"Godpa has been doing it anyways. What does it matter?" Nolan reminded Lana meaningfully.
Lana insisted, "It's different now that we have our real Dad. Mommy and Daddy should be the ones who join us for
parent-child activities."
Jared patted Lana's shoulder, saying, "Alright, Mommy and Daddy will both go."
"Yay, I knew Daddy was the best!" Lana smiled brightly while nodding her head.
"Stupid." Nolan rolled his eyes at his sister in frustration.

Nicole looked at the children and smiled wryly. "Alright now. We'll be attending your parent-child event."
"Hooray!" Lana cheered with excitement, while her brother bit his lip sadly.
Nolan said, "I'll inform Godpa and let him come too."
"He can't come," Jared said, frankly.
Unconvinced, Nolan frowned. "He'll come if I want him to. And you can't stop him."
"He's gone to Mecrounia," Jared informed. He was not stopping Lawrence from attending. It was simply a fact that
Lawrence could not show up.
Nicole's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Jared.' Mecrounia? But Lawrence clearly said he was going to
Crescent Island,’ Nicole thought.
Jared exchanged glances with Nicole. Although he did not speak, Nicole could understand his thoughts by reading
his eyes. Nicole wondered the reason why Lawrence lied to her.
Nicole did not continue the topic any further in front of the kids.
Dropping his head, Nolan wilted a bit when he heard Lawrence had left. He thought, 'It's such a great opportunity,
but Godpa isn't here. So is there any parent-child activity I could join if he's not here? No one wants to accompany
me.'
Sensing Nolan's depressed state, Nicole comforted him." Lawrence has his own things to take care of. He has his
own life."
They could not rely too much on Lawrence. They could be friends but never a family. Nolan tilted his head at Nicole,
hesitated, and bit his lip. Lawrence once told him that it was his dream to be able to accompany them for life.
"Nolan, there are things that you'll only understand once you grow up." Nicole stroked her son's head soothingly.
She understood Nolan's dependence on Lawrence, but some things were impossible to change. Even if they had not

"Nolan." Lana gently tugged on her brother's sleeve, her voice gentle. "Nolan, we have Daddy now. We don't need
someone else to be our father."
Uneasy, Nolan did not respond to Lana's words. So he turned his head to look out the car window. Lana knew Nolan
must be in a bad mood and wanted to lean over to comfort him. Nicole held the girl back and shook her head,
signaling Lana to leave Nolan alone.
Nolan was a perceptive child. So, he must have understood what Nicole implied. She figured Nolan only needed
some time to reorganize his thoughts.
Nolan nibbled on his lips and obediently settled down. Although the siblings quarreled often, Lana was rather upset
when Nolan was upset. She only hoped her brother would get better soon.
After a while, the car drove into the Riddle family residence. The family got out of the car and headed to the living
room.
