Chapter 2174
"Mhm." Nolan had already climbed onto the sofa. He automatically turned on the TV and picked up the game
controller.
"Nolan, you should spend some time with your Godpa while you're here." Nicole was speechless when she saw
Nolan about to play games. 'Are the games at home not fun enough?'
Nolan looked up and said matter-of-factly, "This is what I did last time."
"It's fine. You can relax and do whatever you want here," Lawrence said, voice full of affection.
"Mommy, let's spend time with Godpa!" Lana pulled Nicole's arm and sat down next to the sofa.
Lawrence smiled gently and asked, "Then tell me, Lana, what would you like to do with Godpa?"
"Godpa, you're the one who invited us over, so what do you want to do?" Lana smiled sweetly.

"Durian pancakes!" Lana's eyes lit up at the sight of her favorite food.
Seeing Lana's expression, Lawrence smiled softly and said," Go on, eat some."
Lana took the box, opened it, and started eating it in small bites. Her face was filled with satisfaction.
Lawrence's eyes softened as he watched the kids, one playing games and the other eating pancakes. It was as if
they were back on the island, living a peaceful life.
"Lawrence, you seem quite busy lately. Are things not going smoothly since you arrived in San Joto?" Nicole asked
softly.
For some reason, she felt that Lawrence seemed different since arriving in San Joto, but she just could not pinpoint
exactly what had changed.
"It's alright, things are going well." Lawrence avoided her gaze somewhat and changed the subject. "Today's the
weekend, so let's not talk about work. Let's relax with the children."
"Godpa, didn't you say you wanted to take us to see a movie? Why don't we do it today?" Nolan turned his head and
asked before turning back to continue his game.
"Sure." Lawrence readily agreed and looked at Nicole with a hint of anticipation.
Nicole bit her lip, feeling a bit conflicted. If they went to see a movie, they might not have enough time before Jared
came to pick them up. But if they did not go, she was worried that Nolan would be disappointed.
"It's okay. Daddy said that he would come pick us up after lunch," Lana said in a serious tone.
"You're going back at noon?" Lawrence's brows furrowed
slightly. He had thought they would stay the entire day at the very least.
"Ah, well..."
Nicole had not finished speaking when Lana proudly interjected. "That's right! Daddy said he'll come pick us up."

"Of course! Daddy's very good to us and Mommy. Yesterday, Grandma even said that she wants Daddy and Mommy
to have a wedding soon," Lana said with an expectant smile.
Lawrence's eyes narrowed. His movements slowed down as he looked at Nicole. "A wedding?"
Nicole did not expect Lana to suddenly bring this up, so she awkwardly tried to explain, "Actually..."
Her mother did bring it up, but she had already made an agreement with Jared to give her some more time.
Nicole had not seriously considered it herself. In fact, her hesitation was already an answer. If she really did not
want to, she would have directly refused without any hesitation.
But Lana had already responded for Nicole. "Godpa, Nolan and I want to be the ring bearer and the flower girl when
Daddy and Mommy get married. What do you think, Godpa?"
Lawrence's gentle gaze froze, and he struggled to keep up the expression.
"Godpa?" Lana called out softly, furrowing her eyebrows at Lawrence's silence.
"Oh, as long as you want to, it's great," Lawrence reluctantly agreed, feeling a suffocating weight on his heart.
He was shocked. Nicole and Jared were actually getting married. Was he really going to lose Nicole? Did all his
efforts mean nothing?
