Chapter 1949
Niki was unable to determine why a cloud of sadness was hovering over her as she watched those ladies.
Then, her nose began to itch. 'What is going on? Do I... know those two ladies?'
"Mommy, why are you crying?" Nolan asked, his voice blaring out beside her.
It was only then that Niki realized that tears were streaming down her cheeks. "Don't worry. I think the sun is too
bright for my eyes."
After she had spoken, Niki quickly carried her cup of coffee into the room.
When Nolan noticed her mom crying, he quickly comforted," Mommy, are you afraid? Don't be afraid. That big bad
wolf would not do anything to us."
Niki turned around and looked at his son in relief.
Fortunately, Nolan was there with her, ensuring that she would not be lonely.
"Mommy is not afraid. I have you with me. What should I be scared of?" she answered, deriving her strength from

But the thought of Lana being left at home made Niki worried.
Although her daughter was quite clingy, she had stayed at
Leo's house for two or three days with no issues before. However, it would take longer for her to return this time.
As such, she was unsure of how the little girl was doing.
She did not dare to give Lana a video call, either. She was worried that she might make Lana cry.
What stuck out to her was that Leo knew about her situation, and yet, he had not bothered to call her. Perhaps Leo
knew who Jared was just trying to be careful.
Additionally, Niki could not afford to expose his identity as well.
"That's great, then. Don't worry Mommy. I'll make sure to bring you out of here." Nolan looked at Niki with a wicked
smile on his face..
Niki raised her eyebrows, sensing that something was off." What did you do again?"
In response, Nolan said, "I've hacked into the security camera system, and studied every corner of the house.
"We'll wait till night-time...and escape then," he finished with a whisper.
Niki could not help but frown. "You naughty boy. Don't you think we're already in a precarious state? Do you think
that kingpin will let us off the hook so easily?”
There was little point in escaping unless they could immediately get on their private jet as soon as they stepped out
anyway. Even then, the man could instruct an airline to turn the flight around if he had the power and influence to
do so.
"As long as Godpa is here, he has to let us go!" Nolan proudly said. "I've done my research. Although this guy is very
powerful, Godpa is now the most powerful person in Mecrounia. All we have to do is to prepare ourselves. After
we've escaped, Godpa will be there to fetch us. What can this big bad wolf do?"
Niki remained silent. 'What Nolan said does make sense.'
However, she felt guilty as soon as she thought about how Leo would have to trouble himself just to rescue the both
of them.
"Don't make a move yet. We'll wait for your Godpa to call and decide on this. If possible, try to prevent him from

anything else.” Niki sighed, feeling extremely conflicted.
Suddenly, Nolan smiled. "If you really do not want to owe Godpa anything, you can just accept him and become his
girlfriend."
Noticing how Nolan was smiling, Niki rolled her eyes. "You don't understand anything!"
Indeed, how could they date each other without having any feelings for each other in the first place? Although Niki
was very grateful to Leo, there would always be a barrier between the both of them. Consciously, she had always
distanced herself from him, and she was not sure as to why that had happened.
"Godpa is a nice person. He's nice to me and Lana, so I'm
not sure what you are hesitant about," Nolan added.
Ever since Nolan was old enough to remember things, he had been enamored of his Godpa, and whenever he went
to kindergarten, he would ask his Godpa to act as his real father. He always felt that it would be great if his Godpa
could actually be his father. Therefore, he had always taken every opportunity to bring his mom and his Godpa
together. Still, he was not sure why his mom would never develop feelings for his Godpa.
"Did you just state what I am hesitant about?" she replied." Yeah, your Godpa has all the good traits. So, why would
he marry a person like me with two extra burdens? With his qualities, he can easily find an even better person."
On top of that, Niki was not sure who her kid belonged to. Because of that, it would be too unfair for Leo.
