My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2971

"Mhm." Nicole nodded, her face a mask of calm. She didn’t want the children to pick up on any unease.

As she watched the kids devour their food, a gentle smile graced her lips. Above all, she hoped their

lives would remain simple and untouched by chaos.

Meanwhile, Lawrence sat in his car a short distance away, his expression clouded with dark thoughts.

His eyes, fixed on the image of a joyous family of four, felt a sting of irritation. Once, he had dreamed of

such a life - a peaceful existence with Nicole and her two children.

"Mr. Royce, Scorpio wants us to kidnap Nicole and deliver her to him. But I'm concerned..." Ian began,

aware of Scorpio's sinister intentions toward Nicole.

"We must take her," Lawrence stated firmly. 'But whether I hand her over to Scorpio or not, that

decision is mine alone,' he thought resolutely.

Deep inside, he was determined not to let Nicole fall into Scorpio's clutches.

Ian, pushing for clarity, said, "But if we do this, Nicole might... It

The consequences were inevitable. Regardless of Lawrence's reluctance to surrender Nicole to

Scorpio, the very act of attempting to kidnap her would irreparably

damage their relationship.

Lost in thought, Lawrence murmured, still watching Nicole." It was bound to come to this point sooner

or later, unless..."

The notion of Nicole coming to him willingly was a fantasy, especially if she lost her memory again. But

now, even memory loss wouldn't solve everything. Nolan and Lana were in the picture, and erasing the

memories of all three was impractical.

Thus, to have Nicole, Lawrence saw no alternative but to take her by force, ensuring she couldn't

return to her family.

"It's time," Lawrence said, his voice heavy with resolve.

"Understood," Ian replied, starting the car.

Lawrence leaned back. 'I always get what I want,' he mused, his thoughts as cold as his gaze.

After Lawrence's departure, Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly, betraying a flicker of confusion.

Something felt off to her, but she couldn't quite place her finger on it.

Jared, placing a juice in front of her, asked softly, "Want something to eat?"

Shifting her focus to Jared, Nicole replied with a smile, "No, thanks." She took a sip of her juice, then

added, "Don't worry, I just find his behavior a bit strange."

She tried to decipher the odd feeling but found herself momentarily lost in thought.

"Daddy, Mommy, aren't you eating?" Lana's voice pulled Nicole from her reverie, her little head tilted up

in inquiry.

Nicole turned, gently stroking Lana's hair. "You go ahead and eat, sweetie."

"What are you two going to eat?" Nolan, concerned, chimed in. 'Even if they don't want burgers, they

still need to eat dinner,' he thought, his young mind filled with care.

Nicole's smile broadened. "We'll have some snacks when we get back home."

"Oh," came the synchronized response from Nolan and Lana, who then quickened their pace with their

burgers.

"Take your time, there's no rush," Nicole encouraged, her heart swelling with love for her children. They

were the light in her life, her pillars of strength. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Once dinner was over, Nicole and Jared escorted Nolan and Lana back home.

On arrival, the children eagerly greeted their grandparents," Hi, Grandpa, Grandma!"

Gloria enveloped them in a warm embrace, her smile radiant.

"Did you wait for us?" Nolan and Lana inquired, their eyes bright with curiosity.

"Yes, we were waiting for you to come back. We always love seeing you," Gloria replied, her hands

gently caressing their heads.

Lana's eyes sparkled with joy. "Do you miss us when you can't see us?"
