Ch. 3086..3090: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 3086-3090

Chapter 3086

"Nolan and Lana's birthdays are almost here, and I was thinking..." Lawrence stopped for a moment,

then said, "I thought about taking them to the amusement park for some fun."

Nicole's expression changed as she replied, "I can take them. You don't have to bother."

"But as their godfather, I want to show them some love too,” Lawrence said, sounding a bit upset.

Lately, he often found himself thinking about Nolan and Lana, remembering their time together on

Crescent Island. Watching them grow up day by day and calling him 'goddad' was a precious memory.

Unfortunately, things hadn’t been the same since they moved to San Joto.

Nicole frowned, realizing Lawrence's request was not as simple as that.

After a moment of hesitation, Nicole's tone turned frosty. ”1 think it's best if you don't have any more

contact with them."

Lana might handle it better, but for Nolan, Lawrence's actions hit hard. Even though Nolan didn't show

it much, Nicole understood. Back on Crescent Island, Nolan relied on Lawrence a lot, sometimes even

more than on her.

She knew Lawrence's betrayal must have hurt Nolan deeply, so she wanted to keep Lawrence away

from him to prevent any more pain.

Seeing Nicole's firm stance, Lawrence sighed. "Okay then."

"They're both doing fine now, and I think they can keep living happily without any disruptions. Don't you

think so?" Nicole asked, her words carrying a deeper meaning, reminding him not to disturb Nolan and

Lana's peaceful lives.

"I hope they're happy too," Lawrence said through clenched teeth, reluctantly agreeing.

"That's fine," Nicole said, motioning toward Lawrence. "Help yourself to some coffee."

As Lawrence held the cup, a bitterness filled him, not just from the coffee. He understood that Nicole

wasn't interested in talking about the children with him anymore.

He hadn't expected one mistake to cost him everything. Now, not only was Nicole distant, but he also

couldn't see or be close to the children.

With a slight frown, Lawrence placed the cup down and stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll go."

"I'll have my secretary show you out," Nicole offered politely.

"No need. Things seem to be the same as when I left. I can find my own way," Lawrence said, walking

out with heavy steps.

As soon as Lawrence left, Lulu entered the office.

"What did he say?" Lulu asked cautiously.

"Not much," Nicole sighed. "Lawrence mentioned that Nolan and Lana's birthdays are coming up, and

he wanted to see them."

"What does their birthday have to do with him? You and Jared will celebrate with them anyway," Lulu

said, sounding disgusted.

"And after what he did to Nolan, he still wants to see them? That's nerve," she added.

"I already told him no," Nicole said, feeling conflicted, biting her lip.

She sensed that Lawrence, despite leaving casually, still held onto something.

"Nicole, is something bothering you?" Lulu asked gently.

"I just think Lawrence's behavior is odd," Nicole said, her brow furrowed.

"Do you think he might try to see Nolan and Lana without us knowing?" Lulu's face went pale at the

idea.

Nolan and Lana were in kindergarten, and if Lawrence was determined, it would be hard to stop him

without taking the kids out of school.

A steely glint flashed in Nicole's eyes as she narrowed them slightly. "He better not even think about it."

Chapter 3087

"If Lawrence decides to break our agreement and see Nolan and Lana behind my back, I won't hesitate

to cut off all contact with him," Nicole stated firmly.

"What is he even thinking? I can't wrap my head around it," Lulu fumed. “ How can he hurt you and

then act like nothing's wrong?"

Lulu found Lawrence's actions incomprehensible. 'Is he heartless, or is he just not thinking straight?'

"There's a lot you don't know," Nicole said, her eyes narrowing with meaning.

Lawrence wasn't just a company's CEO; he held significant influence in Mecrounia. When Nicole and

Jared sought his help five years ago, his status was already high.

Now, his position in Mecrounia was even more prominent, not to mention his hidden, darker identity.

Nicole was aware of all this, as Lawrence hadn't kept it from her before she regained her memory.

As Lulu observed Nicole's thoughtful expression, her own demeanor grew more serious.

While Lulu didn't know all the details, she could tell from Nicole's tone that Lawrence was more

complex than he seemed. She was aware of his influence abroad, but Nicole's attitude hinted that his

power went beyond what she had imagined.

If Lawrence wasn't simply irrational, then his actions suggested a belief that he could manipulate

everything, that everything should bend to his will.

A shiver ran down Lulu's spine as she voiced her concern, "So, his arrival in San Joto was planned with

ulterior motives from the beginning."

"It began with the Fire Crest, and now...' Nicole trailed off, knowing that after the Water Crest incident,

Lawrence would likely attempt to obtain both Crests. However, she sensed his motives might extend

beyond that.

"That means you're still at risk," Lulu said anxiously, clenching her teeth." It's absolutely disgraceful."

"It's all about personal gain," Nicole replied calmly. "The world is filled with people chasing fame and

profit; what matters is how far they're willing to go and the methods they'll employ."

Lulu sighed, her expression clouded with worry.

Nicole offered a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, he may be formidable, but I'm not exactly a pushover."

"But you're not as ruthless as he is," Lulu replied, clearly upset.

"It's just a matter of different goals or conflicting interests; that's understandable," Nicole shrugged. She

comprehended Lawrence's actions but wouldn't give him the chance to succeed.

That would mean sacrificing her interests, which weren't just personal but also encompassed the entire

Riddle Corporation and the Riddle family. Therefore, she wouldn't back down.

"You should discuss this with Jared and devise a strategy. Even if we can't avoid him in business, we

can't let him hurt Nolan and Lana again," Lulu said, determination shining in her eyes.

If avoidance wasn't an option, she wouldn't back down, but Nolan and Lana must be kept safe.

"Alright, don't worry," Nicole replied, a determined glint in her eyes. This was her concern too.

After Lawrence left the Riddle Corporation and settled into his car, Ian spoke softly, "Mr. Royce, did

Nicole agree?"

"No," Lawrence replied, his tone heavy.

Ian sighed, resigned. "I didn't expect Nicole to be so cold-hearted now."

"It's not her fault," Lawrence understood. Nolan and Lana were Nicole's top priority, and he had

definitely crossed a line with her.

"So... what will you do? Are you really going to miss spending their birthdays?" Ian inquired.

"Just drive," Lawrence's mood sank further, still lacking a solid plan.

Starting the car, Ian pondered for a moment before suggesting, "Why don't we go to their school?

We're bound to see Nolan and Lana there."

Chapter 3088

"No, that's out of the question," Lawrence's voice held a firmness that emphasized the decisiveness of

his choice. Pursuing Nolan and Lana at this point would jeopardize any chance of reconciliation in the

future.

Ian simply nodded, concentrating on driving, thinking to himself, 'If Mr. Royce can't devise a plan,

there's little I can do to assist.'

Reclining in his seat, Lawrence stared out of the car window, lost in thought as the sun began to set.

After finishing work, Nicole exited the company and climbed into Jared's car.

"Max, let's head to the kindergarten," Nicole instructed.

"Got it,” Max responded, steering the car in the direction of the kindergarten.

Jared glanced at her, speaking softly, "Why the sudden decision to pick up Nolan and Lana?"

Nicole took a deep breath, biting her lip slightly as she recounted Lawrence's visit to Jared, expressing

her worry that Lawrence might try to see Nolan and Lana secretly after she had turned him down.

A shadow passed over Jared's eyes, his voice turning cold. "If he has any sense left, he won't dare."

Lawrence should know better than to do anything Nicole had explicitly refused, especially now. It would

only further damage their already strained relationship.

"Let's hope so," Nicole murmured, her concern evident in her expression, prompting the visit to ensure

the safety of Nolan and Lana.

"Lana, Nolan," Nicole called, waving and smiling as she approached them.

"Mommy!" Nolan and Lana exclaimed happily, rushing over to her.

After giving their hair a playful ruffle, Nicole took their hands. "Let's go, today Daddy and I came to pick

you up."

"Is Auntie Tia busy today?" Nolan asked, curious.

"No, Daddy and Mommy just happened to have some free time today," Nicole replied with a smile.

Once in the car, Nolan and Lana settled in next to Jared. "Daddy."

"Let's put your backpacks down," Jared said, gently moving their small backpacks to the side.

As the car started moving, Lana looked up with excitement. "Daddy, I learned a new song at school

today."

"Why don't you sing it for US, Lana?" Jared encouraged, a smile in his eyes.

"Okay!" Lana happily began to sing the nursery rhyme, her soft, sweet voice filling the car with joy.

As they drove further away, Nicole felt relieved not to have seen Lawrence.

Unbeknownst to her, Lawrence emerged from a corner after they had left.

He couldn't resist the urge to check on the children but didn't want to attract Nicole's attention.

Dressed inconspicuously and avoiding driving there, he hid in the corner, ensuring Nicole wouldn't

notice him.

As Lawrence watched the car fade into the distance, the image of the close -knit family lingered in his

mind, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared arrived home with Nolan and Lana.

"Grandpa, Grandma," Nolan and Lana greeted Daniel and Gloria cheerfully as they approached.

Chapter 3089

"Back already?" Daniel and Gloria beamed with affection at their grandchildren.

Nicole and Jared took their seats, explaining, "We had some free time today, so we decided to pick

them up.”

"It's good to see you both have the energy to do that. It seems like Riddle Corporation must be doing

alright now," Daniel remarked, relieved.

The past few days had been hectic for both Nicole and Jared, but now that they had some time to

relax, it seemed like their problems had been resolved.

"Yes, now we're just waiting for the penalty notice for NandoCorp," Nicole said calmly, with a smile.

Gloria responded with a hint of resignation, "Let the penalty come if it must, as long as the issue is

resolved."

"Mom, actually, the penalty is a good thing," Nicole reassured her with a smile.

"I might not be involved in the company matters, and I really don't understand, but how can a penalty

be a good thing?" Gloria asked, frowning slightly in confusion.

"Let's not talk about work now. You don't understand these things, and you won’t believe the children

when they say it's alright," Daniel intervened, suggesting they drop the subject now that work was over

to give everyone a break.

"You were the one who asked just now," Gloria couldn't help but give Daniel a playful look.

"Alright, my fault. Let's all not ask anymore," Daniel quickly conceded.

Laughter filled the living room, soon followed by a curious voice, "What's going on? Why the good

mood?"

They turned to see Stanley entering.

"Nothing much, just chatting," Daniel greeted Stanley. "Now that you're here, let's have dinner."

"Oh, okay," Stanley replied, not pressing further.

With the recent tension over Riddle Corporation's affairs affecting the household atmosphere, the

lighter mood now was a welcome change.

Once they arrived at the dining hall, dinner was quickly served.

"Nicole, Nolan and Lana's birthdays are coming up, right? Your dad and I were thinking, how about we

throw a cozy birthday party at home? What do you think?" Gloria asked Nicole.

Considering the approaching date, if they were to hold a party, decisions and preparations needed to

start promptly.

"Well... I'll ask Nolan and Lana what they think," Nicole hesitated for a moment. "They mentioned

wanting to go to the amusement park a few days ago, and I thought of taking them there."

"We can have the party in the evening, just a small celebration with the family. During the day, if you

want to take them to the amusement park, that will fulfill their wish," Gloria added.

"That sounds good," Jared agreed.

"Then it's settled," Daniel chimed in.

With Jared’s agreement, Nicole wouldn't object.

"Alright, let's go with what Mom and Dad suggest," Nicole concurred.

Stanley paused for a moment before saying, "In that case, I need to think about what kind of birthday

gifts to prepare for Nolan and Lana."

After enjoying a dinner filled with laughter and conversation, Gloria spoke up, "We'll handle the party

preparations."

"Mom, you can also ask Tia to help you," Stanley reminded Gloria.

"Sure, I'll call her," Gloria happily agreed.

With everyone else busy, it seemed Tia was the only one available to help, and given her close

relationship with Nolan and Lana, she understood the children's preferences well.

Nicole nodded in agreement. "On their birthday, we'll take Nolan and Lana to the amusement park, and

we'll return in the afternoon so we won't miss the evening party."

Good, but make sure the kids have a fun time," Gloria advised.

Chapter 3090

"Got it," Nicole nodded in agreement.

Heading upstairs, Nicole and Jared entered Nolan's room.

Seeing the two kids engrossed in their activities, Nicole smiled and said," You're both so well-behaved."

"Mommy, how's my drawing?" Lana, holding her drawing board and tilting her head up, proudly showed

her work.

Nicole admired Lana's drawing and praised, "It's wonderful."

Lana laughed happily and showed her drawing to Jared, saying, "Daddy, check out mine too!"

Jared, feeling warm inside, picked Lana up and looked at her artwork, saying, "Wow, that's amazing!

How about we draw something together, you and me?"

"Yay!" Lana agreed, passing a brush to Jared.

While Nicole watched them draw together, she smiled and went over to Nolan.

"What are you thinking about?" Nicole asked when she saw Nolan staring at the computer screen with

a puzzled look.

"I'm stuck here. I think there might be another way, but I can't figure it out," Nolan replied, looking

frustrated.

"Let me see," Nicole said, pulling up a chair and sitting next to him. She looked at the screen, and a

look of surprise crossed her face. "Nolan, you're getting better at this!"

She was amazed at how quickly he was progressing.

"Come here. If you've got a new idea, don't stick to the old ways. Check this out..." Nicole patiently

explained to Nolan, who quickly understood.

"Oh, I see it now. Thanks, Mommy." Nolan thanked Nicole and focused on his task.

After a bit, Nolan finished up, and Lana completed her drawing.

Nicole gathered the two kids to talk about the birthday plans: "Grandma and Grandpa want to throw

you a birthday bash. We'll hit the amusement park on your big day, then head back for the party. How's

that sound?"

"Awesome!" Nolan and Lana chimed in, excited already.

"Mommy, can we invite our friends?" Lana's eyes sparkled as she asked.

Nicole smiled and nodded, "Sure thing, sweetheart. Invite whoever you want."

"I want to invite Nona to come over and play," Lana said, looking at Nolan," What about you?"

"I'm cool with anyone. Invite whoever you want," Nolan replied casually.

"Anyone's fine. Invite whoever you like," Nolan said, sounding relaxed.

Lana tilted her head, thinking about who else she wanted to invite from her class.

Nolan got up, saying, "Mom, I'm ready to hit the sack. I don't mind about the party."

"Okay, I'll tell Grandma," Nicole said with a smile.

Jared, with Lana in his arms, also got up, saying, "Time for bed, Lana."

"But Daddy, I want to invite Rami," Lana said, still lost in her thoughts about the party.

"Rami?" Jared's brow furrowed slightly at the mention of the name.

"Yeah, he helped me when I fell in PE class. He's really strong. He even took me to the nurse," Lana

explained earnestly. "So I want to invite him to say thanks."

"Alright," Jared agreed, but he seemed a bit down.

Nicole looked at Jared, smiling slightly, and shook her head gently.

Later, in their room, Jared's mood hadn't changed, which made Nicole laugh. "You're not really upset

about this, are you? They're just kids in kindergarten, and their friendships are pure."
