Chapter 2010
"Wow, you're so lucky. Your kids are already at this age and yet, the both of you are still so loving."
"This family looks so beautiful! All four of them are goodlooking!"
Whispers were surrounding them. From time to time, there would be looks of envy shot at their general direction
too.
Nicole's cheeks began to flush, and she could only stare at Jared in annoyance, signaling him to watch his actions.
"We are a family after all," Jared said, not taking her seriously. Instead, he felt that what those people had said were
right and that they had a keen eye.
"That's right, Mommy. The happiness we share as a family of four should be the kind that is envied by others," Lana
commented with a huge smile on her face.
"Lana?" Nicole gestured to Lana to stop spouting nonsense as her embarrassment grew.

handsome man, and he treats us well. Everyone will admire me." Lana spoke her mind out loud with an innocent
demeanor.
Nicole opened her mouth but remained tight-lipped anyway. Her biggest regret was that she was not able to
provide a complete family unit for her kids.
"Lana, do you want to go back to the island?" Jared frowned after learning that they wanted to go back to school.
'Are they really planning to go back?'
"Yes. Nolan and I will still have to go to school," Lana replied naturally.
Hearing this, Jared tried to test her further. "What if you could go to school in San Joto?"
"Is it really possible?" Lana's eyes lit up.
If she could stay, that would be the best thing ever. That way, she would not be separated from her daddy.
"Of course, I have passed the information to your mommy. After Mommy has made her decision, both of you can
go to school. What do you think?" Jared asked, his gaze tender and his heart at ease.
"Then, will you be able to send me to school, Daddy?" Lana blinked her big round eyes and asked eagerly.
"Of course I can." Jared promised immediately.
Lana became overjoyed at that very instant. She finally had a daddy who would pick her up and send her to school.
On top of that, she would not be looked down on by any of the other kids anymore.
Nolan bit his lips, as he actually looked forward to it.
When they were at the island, all of the other kids would have their moms and dads to pick them up and send them
to and from school. Lana and Nolan were the only ones without. That was why Nolan always asked his godfather to
pick them up. He even told the other kids that Lawrence was their dad so that the kids would stop laughing at them.
When Jared noticed Nolan's eyes lighting up even though he was remaining quiet, Jared's eyes darkened. He
actually pitied them.
Jared understood Nolan's behavior and attitude toward him, and he knew it was definitely because of the hardships

After all, Lawrence was the only person who could make them feel warm. That was also why Nolan remained
resistant toward Jared.
However, Nolan still had a yearning for a father's love, and it was obvious that Jared owed it to him.
The little ones should have grown up happily, and without any worries. If Jared had been able to locate them earlier,
perhaps the outcome would have been different at this moment.
"Daddy, what does the school look like at San Joto? Are they like the ones on the island?" Lana's questioned,
bringing Jared back to reality.
"You'll find out when you go. The both of you will like it." Jared lifted Lana and brought her into his arms.
His love for this affectionate daughter grew even more with each second spent with her
"Mommy, when are you choosing a school for us?" Nolan asked in a low voice.
In the future, they would have to stay in San Joto. Because of this, everything would have to be moved there.
Naturally, they would have to attend school here too, but Nolan still wished to share about his life with his
godfather.
