My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2225

"I'm not sure if we'll be able to bait Lawrence this time around." Max's eyes were also cold.

They knew that Lawrence was the once behind everything. The worst part was that Lawrence was very cunning, so there was no clear evidence. Even if things were exposed, Lawrence would seemingly have nothing to do with it.

Jared's gaze darkened. This was the exact reason why he was waiting to make a move. Perhaps they could try. If not, they would have to chase Iris out and harm the Johnston Group.

"Ask them to be on their guard. When the time comes, we could let go of some opportunities." If there was not enough bait, Lawrence would not fall for it.

"Noted," Max replied solemnly, understanding what Jared meant.

Jared then flipped open the document beside him. Max retreated, leaving the room.

On the other hand, at the restaurant, Nicole, Lawrence and Lulu had just taken their seats.

After ordering their meals, they chatted casually. Lulu asked about what happened at Crescent Island. She had always been curious about it, but never had the opportunity to ask. Now that Lawrence was present, she wanted to know a little about it.

"There's nothing much about it. It's a pretty normal life," Lawrence replied casually.

"That's true. The island is filled with fishermen. They're just living a life of working in the morning, sleeping at night. Although it's a very ordinary life, it's quite comfortable too." Seeing that Lulu was very curious, Nicole roughly described the experience to her.

"Come to think of it, it must be hard for you at that time." Even though Nicole made it sound easy, one could imagine how hard that life would be.

"It's no wonder Nicole said you're an important friend of hers. Thank you for saving her and helping her out after," Lulu said sincerely to Lawrence.

Lawrence nodded and smiled politely. But deep down, he felt a little disappointed. What he wanted was not to be just her friend. No matter how important of a friend he was, there would always be boundaries which he could not cross. That was not what he wanted.

"Nicole, I remember you told me previously—" Lulu suddenly froze and stared at two people who had just entered the restaurant. Her mind went blank instantly.

He really was there to only have dinner with Icyln. He did not expect to bump into Lulu. In fact, he did think of inviting Lulu to join them, but he felt that she was ignoring him recently.

Seeing Spencer standing still and staring at Lulu, Icyln begged, "Spencer, I'm a little hungry. Why don't we go and make our order?"

"Lulu, why don't you join us?" Spencer still chose to say those words through gritted teeth. He still wished that Lulu could join him.

Lulu immediately rejected him. "No, thank you. I won't bother the both of you. I'm fine with Nicole here."

In actual fact, she knew that it would be best for her to take on that offer at that moment. But she was still feeling confused. So, in the end, she decided to prioritize herself and not interrupt Spencer and Icyln's dinner.

"Why don't we eat together? We still have enough seats here," Lawrence suggested.

Looking at the situation, Lawrence roughly understood what was going on. He could tell that Nicole was not happy already, so he decided to make them stay. He did not want to see Nicole unhappy again.
