"You don't have to." Nolan shook his head.Mrs. Wallace Sr. gave them a look of puzzlement. "Why? You said they were delicious.""It's not that. Making those muffins is a lot of work. We can help out next time," Lana chimed in.Mrs. Wallace Sr. laughed heartily, her mouth wide in amusement. "Such good kids. Just like your mom, always caring for others from a young age.""Well, we are Mommy's kids," Nolan and Lana replied with a hint of pride.Their playful attitude made Mrs. Wallace Sr. burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying the moment with them."I can make them too. Next time, we'll do it for you," Tia said, emerging from the small kitchen, her eyes twinkling as she brought a plate of fruits to them.Nicole took the plate. "Your leg is hurt. Go treat it before it gets worse.""It's fine," Tia replied, cheeks reddening in embarrassment. "It's just a minor bump. No big deal.""Go apply some ointment on it. You need to take care of yourself so that you can look after Grandma,

"I had a chat with Stanley. Let's go," Nicole said, linking his arm with Jared's.Jared glanced down at her, his tone affectionate. "Did you enjoy visiting your grandma?""Yeah, we were reminiscing about my childhood," Nicole replied, her eyes sparkling with joy and nostalgia.Touched by her happiness, Jared softly suggested, "When things settle down, we should go back for a visit.""That sounds great," Nicole replied, her eyes wide and hopeful. 'That's a good idea. I bet Grandma would love to see the old house again.'Back in their room, Nicole began humming a tune as she headed to the bathroom. The idea of visiting her childhood home filled her with anticipation. And as Jared watched her, a small smile played on his lips. He was planning to take her back to see where she had grown up once everything that had been playing.The next morning, after breakfast, Nicole and Jared dropped Nolan and Lana off at preschool and made their way to DillCorp. Although Nicole owned the company,

"I'll make sure he backs off," Nicole said, her eyes showing determination. "With DillCorp now under my control, everyone will know not to mess with it.""Do you think he'll actually back down? He's not one to give up easily," Lulu said, concerned."We'll see if Everett's got what it takes," Nicole replied coolly. "I'd love to see him try to pull anything off without my say-so." She then looked intently at Lulu. "Tell everyone to keep things under wraps. We can't let any company secrets leak out."Lulu nodded in understanding. "Got it," she replied. She had also thought about telling everyone to stay quiet and maybe even spreading a few fake stories.Seeing Lulu's sly smile, Nicole chuckled and shook her head. 'Lulu's getting cleverer each day.'Once Lulu left, Nicole started reading a file in front of her.Over at NandoCorp's manager's office, Everett leaned back in his chair, looking annoyed. "You're sure Nicole's at DillCorp now?"His assistant nodded. "Yes, she went there fi

"Alright, let's meet there after work," Nicole said."Sounds good. I'll tell Spencer he doesn't have to pick me up," Lulu replied. She then sent Spencer a quick message.Similarly, Nicole informed Jared she would be having pizza with June and Lulu after work and suggested he go home first."Alright, I need to get going. See you later," Lulu said.As she stood up and left Nicole's office, Nicole went back to her work.When it was time to leave, Nicole and Lulu left DillCorp, caught a cab, and headed to the Royal Creek Institute."You know, the three of us haven't hung out there in about five years," Lulu said. "After you went missing, Nicole, it was just June and me visiting from time to time.""It's hard to believe it's been five years." Nicole sighed. 'So much has changed, but at least we're still best friends.'When they arrived at the restaurant, June was already there, motioning for them to join her. "Come sit here!""You're early," Lulu said, guiding Nicole to sit down.

Nicole snuggled close to Jared, murmuring, "When people are happy, they drink more. And guess what? I'm starting to remember stuff from school."Jared looked at her. Lately, she had been remembering a lot from her childhood and her time at Royal Creek Institute. "What about that cafe?" Jared asked her softly, remembering it was from her school days."Cafe?" Nicole frowned and then shook her head. "I don't remember."Jared smiled affectionately at her. "Let's go home.""Mhm, home," Nicole replied, nestling her head on Jared's shoulder. She smiled in contentment.They soon returned to the Riddle family manor. Though everyone had gone to bed, the lights in the living room remained on, likely for those not yet home. As Jared carried Nicole inside, the butler, still up, was waiting for them."Mr. Johnston," the butler began, his gaze lingering on Nicole who seemed a bit unsteady. "Should I prepare something to help her sober up?""No need," Jared responded quickly. "She's a little ti
