My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2698

Nicole looked up at Lulu before flashing her a wicked smirk. She did not want Lulu to be concerned about the Water Crest, let alone know that Lawrence was searching for it.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it. By the way, there is something you should know. The more silent Harvey is, the more things he has up his sleeve. You have to be alert at all times," Nicole reminded.

"Yes! I will keep my eyes glued onto him," Lulu said.

Lulu knew that Nicole had a million other things to deal with and among them, Harvey was nothing but a nuisance. She did not want Nicole to waste her time dealing with him and putting up with his crap.

Nicole smiled as she stood up and walked to her desk, and that was when Lulu knew that it was her cue to leave Nicole's office.

Meanwhile, Lawrence had just gotten into his car after walking out of the headquarters of Riddle Corporation.

"Mr. Royce, how are things with Nicole? Can she be of any help to you?" Ian asked.

Lawrence shook his head. "She won't be able to help me on this, so I didn't even manage to bring it up."

Lawrence knew that even if he were to bring this up to Nicole, she would not be able to help him out.

"What should we do now? If she can't help us, who will be able to?" Ian asked.

Other than Nicole herself, both Lawrence and Ian could not think of any other individual on this planet who could help them unlock the Water Crest.

"Let's think of something." Lawrence sighed.

He had come this far, so he could not give up now, at least not yet.

"There is...,' Ian paused as he looked at Lawrence with anxiety brimming in his eyes.

"Mr. Royce, I must inform you that someone was there to stop me from kidnapping the twins," Ian stammered.

Once the sun began setting on the horizon, Nicole got off work and gazed off at the crimson star in the distance with a smile on her face.

Upon noticing that Jared had already arrived, she rushed up to him and brought herself into Jared's arms.

"Have you waited for a long time?"

"No," Jared replied as he led Nicole to the car.

"Let's go home after we have picked the twins up. Mom has informed us that Stanley has been discharged from the hospital, and that everyone's going to be there," Nicole said after sitting down.

Nicole could already imagine how lively the house would be with everyone present at home for the family gathering.

Jared nodded and ordered Max to drive. After they had picked the twins up from preschool, the family of four headed to the Riddle residence together.
