Chapter 2093
"Yeah, he also called to chat with me for a bit." Lawrence looked at Nicole with eyes beaming with hope as Nolan
had given him some pep talk to work harder during the night prior.
Otherwise, someone else might just whisk her away.
Lawrence came to approach Nicole for that exact reason, as his masculine senses had informed him that it was a
crisis. Before this, Nolan had contacted Lawrence to help him find occasions and circumstances in which he could
set them both up. Nolan had been urging Lawrence to work hard to woo his mother, adding that he would not stand
a chance if he did not.
Though Lawrence had attempted to gather some information from Nolan regarding his desperate desire to get him
to pursue his mother, there was no success, as he could not discover anything. All he could tell was that something
must have happened.
Nicole's pupils shrank slightly; she understood that Nolan must have said something to Lawrence, prompting him to
come over for a visit today.

explained.
Nicole had made that clear to Lawrence once before and ever since returning to San Joto. It was evident that
something within Lawrence had changed a little.
"Pretty sure I can tell a truth and a lie apart," he said.
'Regardless of whether it was Nolan’s childish words or my own, my objective and goal is clear, especially what my
heart wants. For five years, I have been silently giving her everything she wanted and how she wanted them. I gave
her space, and I did not push into doing things she did not want to do. Never have I imagined that I would be on the
verge of losing her because of an accident, and now, we're drifting further and further away from one another,' he
thought as he became uneasy with the knowledge that things were not heading the way he wanted them to be.
"Leo, I think you have to understand that, between the two of us, we're just friends." Nicole frowned, reminding him
of their previous conversation.
Lawrence proceeded to interrupt her. "You also said that you weren't going to come back here."
"The world is evolving each day, and there are things that are beyond our control. Now that I've returned, I have to
do what I should be doing," she replied.
Initially, Nicole did not want to return to San Joto at all because she wanted to elude her enemies and keep her
children safe.
Perhaps it was fate that brought me back here. It's not something I can run from forever.'
"Yeah, there are things we can't control but there are things we definitely can control,' he helplessly argued.
It was uncertain as to whether it was Lawrence's love for Nicole that had prompted him to work so hard to prevent
her from returning to San Joto or it was because she had no recollection of San Joto. But to his dismay, their
relationship had changed as they got more and more distant with one another, a situation which Lawrence was
dying to fix.
"Leo." A tinge of embarrassment flashed in her eyes at once.
She knew what Lawrence meant but she had not expected such determination from him, making her feel
powerless.
Nicole knew that she had stated very clearly that the two of them could only be friends, a proposition to which
Lawrence had respected. However, his perception on this had changed.

worried that Nicole would sever all communication with him.
Nicole paused for a moment before hesitating. Meanwhile, Lawrence had already dug in while helping her with her
food.
"I can do it myself," she said.
Lawrence quickly changed the subject of conversation. He avoided all mentions of the issue earlier and about Nolan
entirely. From then on, he stuck to discussions about work matters. Nicole on the other hand was amenable to
having discussions about the partnership fortheir business together.
'I guess we can discuss this further in detail next time,' Nicole thought.
After lunch was over, the awkwardness and friction between the two of them had completely disappeared, with
both of them looking much more relaxed.
"I'll send you back." Lawrence got up and left the restaurant with Nicole.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Riddle Corporation. They went their separate ways as Nicole
walked into the office and Lawrence got into his car.
"Mr. Royce," Ian greeted, noting that Lawrence was looking a little pale.
"You don't look too good. Did something happen?" Ian asked.
