When they arrived, Gloria called everyone for dinner. The house was filled with a cozy, family vibe.

Daniel got right to the point and asked Nicole and Jared, "Did you two cause that change in the stock market?"

Jared answered calmly, "I was behind it," keeping his eyes steady.

Daniel paused, then asked more, "But what exactly went on?"

Jared said, "It was just settling some old business," not giving a full answer but suggesting it was about more than it seemed.

Daniel looked puzzled, trying to connect this to the times Lawrence had helped Nicole but now wondering why things seemed different.

"Dad, it's just work-related issues. Don't worry, competition in business is normal," Nicole interjected, offering a simplified explanation to avoid burdening Daniel with the details.

"Let the kids handle their business. With Nicole, Sean, and Steve there, they've got it under control," Gloria gently advised Daniel, suggesting they avoid discussing work at home to let the children relax.

"Yeah, I was at Dad's today, and we talked about it, so I thought I'd ask," Daniel explained, then reassured Nicole, "We won't talk about work here at home." "Mom, Dad, don't worry. We can handle it," Nicole comforted her parents, soothing their concerns.

"Let's enjoy our dinner," Gloria said with a warm smile, steering the conversation away from business matters.

After dinner, Nicole and Jared spent time with Nolan and Lana, playing with them before tucking them into bed. Once the children were asleep, they retreated to their own room.

"How long do you think Lawrence can hold out regarding the stock price?" Nicole looked up to inquire of Jared.

They were pressuring Lawrence to leave San Joto, but clearly, Lawrence was not someone who would give up easily. He would not be willing to leave.

So, they knew that the most crucial thing now was not to give Lawrence more time but to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Jared looked down at her. His tone carried a hint of determination as he replied, "Three days." "Hmm, Sean and I have already discussed it. We made preliminary preparations today, and tomorrow we can also assist the Johnston Group." She felt that with the involvement of Riddle Corporation, things might go more smoothly.

A gentle look flickered in Jared's eyes as he raised his hand to smooth her hair, saying, "We agreed, no talking about work at home. Let's stop here."

He also hoped that after she returned, she could truly relax.

"Right, no more talking about it." Nicole smiled, and considering the time, it was indeed late and time to rest.

"Let's rest." Jared said, holding her soft hand.

Nicole nodded. "I am a bit tired."

Jared looked down at Nicole and then picked her up. Nicole instinctively wrapped her arms around Jared's neck, saying, "Put me down, I'm not so tired that I can't walk." "Don't move." Jared's eyes were full of tenderness as he spoke softly.

Returning to the bedside, Jared lowered his head to plant a kiss on Nicole's forehead. Before gently setting her down, he gave her another deep, passionate kiss.

The next day, Nicole arrived at the company as usual.

"Nicole, here are the documents." Lulu brought in the files.

Nicole glanced up at Lulu and said, "Wait a moment, go and ask Sean, has the company's workload increased a lot recently? Why aren't we aware of it?" "What work?" Lulu was a bit puzzled.

After explaining what Nolan had told her the previous night, Nicole said," We didn't know, I think maybe Sean and Jane didn't tell US because they were worried we'd be too stressed."
