Nicole had just gotten out of the shower while everyone was already fast asleep, during which Jared
grabbed her towel and helped dry her hair.
His tone was gentle as he asked, "What's on your mind?"
With a raised eyebrow, Nicole gave him a look of shock, and she bit her lip before issuing a sigh. "I'm
worried that Nolan and Lana's identities will be exposed when they become the ring bearer and flower
girl at the wedding."
Indeed, Nicole was worried that the kids would get in trouble when their identities were disclosed.
Jared's expression darkened. He had also thought so, as he noticed that Nicole’s mood had only
begun to change when they discussed the marriage. Because of this, he figured that she was worried
about the kids.
"You get to decide if you wish to protect them by keeping their identities a secret or announce them to
the world and have round-the-clock security to guard them in the future," Jared suggested, trying to find
a solution.
Nicole's worry was evident as she frowned. "It's better to keep them away from the spotlight. But then,
Lana has been looking forward to this. She'll be heartbroken if I tell her that she can no longer be the
flower girl."
The truth would ultimately be revealed, sooner or later, and thus, it was better to protect the kids' safety
at all times.
Seeing this, Jared ruffled Nicole's hair with an affectionate smile. Don't worry. Relax, and don't fret."
"Yeah," Nicole smiled and nodded her head.
However, she was still dwelling on the issue. Not only did they have to do a good job of protecting the
kids, but they also had to eliminate all dangers, such as those who might harbor ill will toward the kids.
"Don’t think about it. They'll be fine," Jared said gently, his fingers softly running down Nicole's hair.
"We should sleep," Nicole stated, feeling reassured but tired.
Watching Nicole lying on the bed, Jared draped the blanket over her. He then got up and headed to the
bathroom.
By the time he had emerged from the shower, Nicole was already fast asleep. Jared gently tiptoed to
the bed and laid down next to Nicole.
Just like that, the night was over, and Nicole had a good rest. Her complexion was smooth when she
woke up.
Feeling refreshed, she did her morning routine and made her way downstairs with Jared. And then,
after breakfast, they left the house.
"Do you know what happened to the Ellison family?" Nicole asked while the events of yesterday
afternoon crossed her mind.
"Harvey Ellison?" Jared's voice carried a trace of coldness as his eyes darkened.
"Yeah," Nicole nodded, sensing that something had happened.
Darting his eyes at Nicole, Jared said, "Five years ago, Harvey targeted Johnson Group and Riddle
Corporation just so that he could get to you. After your disappearance, he became disheartened and
backed down. Who knew he had been keeping his identity a secret?"This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Hearing that, Nicole exclaimed. "What secret? Isn't he Mr. Ellison's grandson?"
