My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2948

Jared held Nicole's hand firmly, looking ahead, and instructed, "Drive."

"Right away, Mr. Johnston," Max replied, igniting the engine. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Upon reaching the kindergarten, Nicole greeted Nolan and Lana with a wave as they emerged.

"Mommy!" Nolan and Lana rushed to Nicole, embracing her with joy.

Nicole smiled warmly, caressing their heads. "Time to head home," she whispered.

As they drove away from the kindergarten, Nicole caught a glimpse of Lawrence in the rearview mirror,

her gaze sharpening as their paths diverged.

Meanwhile, Lawrence's face fell as he watched them leave.

"Mr. Royce, are we going to let them go just like that?" Ian inquired softly.

Lawrence said to Ian, "Drive."

Their car veered off in another direction. Lawrence, reclining in his seat, looked even more stern.

He made a call to Scorpio.

"It's time to start the operation," Lawrence declared, his voice low and firm.

"Pleasure doing business with you," Scorpio responded, his tone laced with sarcasm.

Lawrence ended the call shortly after.

'Nicole, don't blame me for this. You had your chance and you didn't take it. Now, I'll write our ending

differently,' Lawrence mused, resolute in his long-held plans.

Back at the Riddle residence, Nicole, Jared, Nolan, and Lana were greeted by Gloria.

"You're back! I was wondering if you'd take Nolan and Lana out for some fun," Gloria remarked cheerily

as they walked in.

"I just had some free time today, so I decided to pick them up," Nicole said, relaxing on the couch with

Nolan and Lana.

Jared came in, nodding at Daniel and Gloria. "Hey, Daniel, Gloria," he said.

He then turned to the kids, "Why don't you guys take your school bags upstairs?"

"Okay," Nolan and Lana said together, scampering upstairs.

Once the kids were gone, Nicole faced Daniel and Gloria." Mom, Dad, our driver had some family stuff

to deal with, so I gave him time off. I've got a new driver lined up for you."

Gloria seemed confused. "Really? The butler didn't say anything."

Nicole gave a small smile. "I sorted it out quickly, so he didn't have a chance to mention it. It's no big

deal."

"Alright, understood," Gloria replied.

Nicole's smile grew a bit, feeling somewhat relieved. 'The new driver's actually a bodyguard. Can't be

too careful,' she thought.

She couldn't guess what Lawrence would do next, but his unnerving calmness today, almost like a

farewell, put her on alert. Tve got to keep everyone here safe,' Nicole thought to herself.

While they were chatting, the butler entered. "Sir, Ma'am, dinner's ready."

Nicole looked up. "Where's Stanley?"
