Semua Bab My Wife is a Hacker: Bab 3091 - Bab 3100

"Are you sure Nolan's feelings for Nona are pure?" Jared's expression turned serious. He thought, if Nolan could act like that, maybe Rami had some secret plan against Lana.Nicole was surprised by Jared's words. After a moment, she managed a smile and said, "It's not common to find a child as mature as Nolan."From Nicole's perspective, it wasn't right to suspect other children because of her son. Even if her son wasn't completely sincere, he wasn't as cunning as an adult."Okay, let's invite Rami to the birthday party," Jared decided. He wanted to see for himself if Rami was innocent or not.Watching Jared's frustrated expression, Nicole shook her head. She mused, 'Maybe all dads feel this way, wanting to protect their daughters from boys.'To her, the future was unpredictable, and the children would grow up. So, there was no need to be hostile toward Rami.****Nicole and Jared had been picking up Nolan and Lana themselves over the past three days as they wanted to make sure

"Oh, who's coming tomorrow, and have you told everyone?" Lulu asked.Nicole paused before answering, "Nolan and Lana have asked some of their friends in school, and the rest are family.""That's good. Too many people might make the children uncomfortable. As long as they're with their friends, they'll be happy," Lulu reasoned."First, we're going to the amusement park tomorrow, then we'll come back home in the afternoon. By evening, their friends should arrive, and the rest of the guests will be there too. That's when we'll start the birthday party," Nicole explained."Great, then I'll see you tomorrow evening. You all go and have a good time. I'll head home first to see if there's anything else I can help with," Lulu said with a smile. "I won't be joining you at the amusement park.""That works," Nicole agreed.Knock, knock, knock.Nicole glanced toward the door. "Come in," she called out."Ms. Riddle, Mr. Royce is here," Patricia said, opening the door and stepping to the sid

"Okay," the children agreed, making their way to their designated area and settling down.The table was full of snacks, fruit, and pastries, with lots of toys around. Nolan and Lana kept their friends entertained, eating and playing together.Meanwhile, the grown-ups sat on the couches in the living room."I didn't think you both would make it," Nicole said, glancing at Benjamin and Maximillian."On a day this fun, we wouldn't miss it for the world," Benjamin and Maximillian replied, smiling.Even though the younger ones tried to keep the birthday party a secret from them, once they found out, there was no way they wouldn't come. Not only did they show up, but they also brought gifts for Nolan and Lana."Yeah, your dad and I were thinking of just telling them, but so many people ended up coming. Good thing we were ready," Gloria said, smiling at the crowded room.The plan was for a simple celebration with close family, but the enthusiastic turnout made the party even more fun.

"He didn't come, but he prepared gifts for you," Nicole explained."Oh." Nolan's gaze returned from the window to the box in his hands, his expression hesitant.Nicole touched his head gently. "You can choose to open it or not."It was clear that Nolan was still somewhat resistant, likely still upset about Lawrence's actions from before."Let's open it and see," Jared's voice chimed in.Nolan looked up at Jared, murmuring, "Dad, I...""It's okay. It's a birthday gift he sent you, and I think it's something you'll like," Jared said softly.After all, Lawrence knew Nolan and Lana well, so the gifts he chose were surely ones they'd enjoy. Jared could sense Nolan's uncertainty and inner struggle; it's tough for anyone to accept being used by someone they trusted, especially for a child.But Nolan's emotions for Lawrence were genuine, as was the care Lawrence had shown him, which probably made Nolan's inner turmoil even more complicated.Nolan hesitated to open the gift box, sensin

Glancing at Nicole, Jared awkwardly excused himself. "I'm going to take a shower, " he said.Nicole chuckled softly, amused by his clear devotion as a doting father. She could only imagine the long road ahead for any boy who fancied Lana, wondering just how exceptional they would have to be to earn Jared's approval.The next day dawned bright and sunny.Nicole arrived at the office as usual. Despite a day's worth of work pressing down, thanks to Nicole and Lulu's efforts, the workload left for Nicole wasn't overwhelming."Ms. Riddle, it's unusually quiet on Everett's end. Could there be something amiss?" Patricia whispered cautiously.Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly. Her voice turned cold as she said, "Keep an eye on him."It seemed out of character for Everett to stay quiet; Nicole felt there had to be something brewing. After the recent events, Everett would likely be more cautious, making him harder to deal with."Got it," Patricia replied."Nicole, do you think Everett will
