"Okay," the family agreed, heading toward the dining room.

Jared gently held Nicole's hand, smiling. "You seemed to have a lot of fun today." "Yes, the three of US haven't had such a relaxed outing in a long time," Nicole nodded, clearly happy.

"In the future, when you're off, you should hang out with them more," Jared suggested, pleased to see her joyful.

"With our own families, we are all so busy. How can we just go out and play whenever we're off?" Nicole chuckled, replaceing occasional outings like this quite nice.

Jared smiled tenderly, content to see her happy.

After dinner, the children were brought back by the butler because it had gotten quite dark outside. Concerned that they might get too excited and accidentally hurt themselves, he had them come in. Nolan was so fascinated with his new drone that he insisted on keeping it beside his pillow at night.

Nicole, with a face full of indulgent laughter, agreed, and Nolan went to bed satisfied.

After the children were asleep, Nicole and Jared returned to their own room.

After a relaxing bath, Nicole stepped out of the bathroom, wanting to dry her hair. Jared reached out, taking the towel and gently helping her dry her hair.

Nicole gazed up at Jared, looking as docile as a little rabbit.

Jared finished drying her hair with a fond smile, then softly tousled it, saying, "Let's go to bed." "Okay," Nicole replied, ready to end the day.

Watching Nicole make her way to the bed, Jared headed to the bathroom.

By the time Jared finished his shower, Nicole was already asleep.

Seeing her peaceful sleeping face, Jared's gaze softened. He lay down and gently pulled Nicole into his embrace.

Nicole opened her eyes slightly, snuggled contentedly into his arms, and then drifted back to sleep.

Jared smiled, adjusted the covers around Nicole, and then fell asleep with her in his arms.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Life seemed to have settled into a routine, with everyone busy attending to their own tasks. However, Nicole couldn't shake the feeling that Lawrence's recent silence was unusual. 'Could it be that our lack of reaction has convinced Lawrence his plan succeeded? Does he believe I'm unaware of what Everett is trying to threaten him with, so he's let his guard down?' Deep in thought, Nicole furrowed her brows and asked Max, "It's been too quiet on Lawrence's end recently. Anything particular happened in Mecrounia?"

She had a nagging feeling that Lawrence's silence was a sign of impending danger.

"Rest assured, we have people keeping an eye on things in San Joto. If

Lawrence tries anything, we'll know right away. As for Mecrounia, he's sent some people over, but we're not sure what they're up to yet," Max responded, indicating they were on guard. "Okay." Seeing that they had a thorough strategy in place, Nicole felt somewhat relieved.

Jared gently held Nicole's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, Zane's on board. Once we've got the evidence against Lawrence, we can make our move anytime."

Zane intended to apprehend Lawrence, as there were other cases in which they needed Lawrence's cooperation for the investigation.

"Evidence?" Nicole slightly furrowed her brows, her tone filled with speculation. 'What evidence? Proof of Lawrence's past crimes against me?'
