"Yes, we miss you when we can't see you," Gloria affirmed with a smile, her love for Nolan and Lana

shining in her eyes.

While the kids enjoyed their time with Daniel and Gloria, Nicole and Jared found themselves at a dining

room for a late-night snack. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As they sat there, Nicole couldn't help but watch the four in the living room, her eyes brimming with

warmth. She felt an overwhelming sense of contentment, thinking, 'This kind of family moment is so

precious, it's hard not to cherish it.'

After a long day, the quiet of the night embraced the Riddle household. Nicole and Jared, having

tucked Nolan and Lana into bed, retreated to their own room, the peacefulness of the home enveloping

them.

Feeling the day's weariness in her muscles, Nicole stretched her neck, trying to ease the tension.

Jared, ever attentive, noticed her fatigue and offered a gentle shoulder massage." If you're tired, you

should go to bed early," he suggested with genuine concern in his voice.

"Mhm." Nicole nodded, her smile reflecting her appreciation, and then made her way to bed.

Once Nicole was resting, Jared stepped out onto the balcony for a private call with Max. "Any update?"

"Lawrence returned home. Nothing unusual," Max reported, then hesitated before adding, "But there's

something about

Ian."

"Ian?" Jared's eyes narrowed. 'Lawrence's right-hand man?'

"After dropping Lawrence off, he left hastily. He seemed to be contacting someone, but he was very

cautious, evading our tail," Max detailed.

"Did he know?" Jared's voice carried a hint of concern.

"It looks like he was just being careful, not that he knew he was being followed," Max concluded

thoughtfully.

After a moment of silence, Jared instructed, "Keep an eye on him."

Jared felt that Lawrence certainly had a plan, and it seemed he had tasked Ian to carry it out.

Max respectfully replied, "Yes, Mr. Johnston."

Jared's thoughts were heavy as he hung up the phone. The situation with Lawrence, Ian's ambiguous

actions, and the potential threat to the Crests and Nicole weighed on him. His eyes, reflecting a

determined resolve, mirrored the darkness of the night.

The following morning, the sky mirrored the somber mood with its overcast hues. The weather seemed

to cast a shadow over everyone's spirits.

After a quiet breakfast, Nicole and Jared dropped Nolan and Lana off at kindergarten.

As they left the kindergarten, Nicole turned to Jared. "Take me to BayCorp."

Jared, ever attentive, asked casually, "Is there something you need to do?"

"Yeah, Lulu mentioned something odd about Ellar. I want to check on it," Nicole responded, her tone

hinting at concern.

Without further questions, Jared drove her to BayCorp. Upon arrival, Lulu was already there, greeting

Nicole with a wave." Hey, Nicole."

Nicole waved goodbye to Jared and joined Lulu. Lulu, linking arms with her, teased, "Such a reluctant

goodbye. Why not invite Jared to join you?"

Nicole rolled her eyes playfully. "I think you and Spencer are no different," she retorted with a smile.

Lulu chuckled, a light-hearted moment in the midst of uncertainty. Together, they entered BayCorp and

headed straight for Ellar's office. To their surprise, Ellar hadn't arrived yet, despite the time.

"Eh, it's this late, and he's still not here?" Lulu expressed her confusion.

"Let's ask his secretary about his usual arrival time," Nicole suggested, her brow furrowed in slight

concern, sensing that something might be amiss.
