My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2801

Upon hearing this, Nolan suddenly looked up at Nicole, his eyes wide and his face pale.

"Mommy..."

And after a moment of hesitation, Nolan whispered," Mommy, I'm tired. I want to go to sleep."

"Okay," Nicole nodded and patted him on the back. "Go take a shower first."

After Nolan had walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him, Nicole turned to Jared and

said, "You should take Lana to her room and get her ready for bed too."

"Mommy, why does Nolan look upset?" Lana asked with concern after sensing Nolan's sudden change

in mood.

"It's nothing. He is just tired. A good night's sleep will help," Nicole explained.

Jared then picked Lana up and said, "It's late. We should go to sleep too."

After Jared had brought Lana out of the room, Nicole sighed softly.

She had anticipated that Nolan would eventually figure it out, but she did not expect it to happen so

soon.

"Mommy..."

Nolan came out after taking a quick shower, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment as he asked, '

Mommy, are we being targeted by someone again?"

The information released about the five crests were still fresh in his mind. 'Are our enemies so

persistent that they are tracking us again?' NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

In response, Nicole patted Nolan in the head. "There's something suspicious about this game, but we

haven't figured anything out yet."

"Why didn't you tell me, Mommy? I could have stopped playing this game." Nolan asked.

The last thing he wanted was to cause more problems for Nicole to deal with.

With a gentle smile on her face, Nicole softly said, "It's okay. Besides, I have every reason to believe

that the answer is in this game since they're the ones who’ve designed it."

That was the reason as to why she did not tell Nolan and had allowed him to play uninterrupted up until

now.

Moreover, even if an issue were to arise because of this, it would not harm Nolan, and that was more

than enough for Nicole.

"Mommy, what if you find out down the line that it's..." Nolan trailed off.

The word "Godpa" was too difficult for him to utter at this very instant.

Nicole's eyes narrowed when she saw Nolan's grimace, which betrayed a complex cocktail of conflicted

emotions

within. "Who?"

"I’m not sure, but I know that Godpa is the only one who understands me," Nolan said, his teeth gritted

in determination.

The only person he could think of who could do this was Lawrence. After all, Lawrence understood him

well enough to make whatever he had planned for them a success.

Nicole tightened her grip on Nolan's shoulder. She had noticed this too. If someone did not understand

Nolan well, the chances of any of their plans succeeding would be low. Not only would it fail, but it

might also expose them.

Nolan lowered his head when he saw that Nicole was silent. He had been unable to get his mind off the

issue while he was showering earlier. Now that Nicole had opted to say nothing, he understood that his

mother had thought of the same person too.

The question right now was what exactly Lawrence planning was to do. In all likelihood, he was doing

what he had always done - hunting for the Reby Crests.

"Alright, go to bed early." Nicole patted Nolan's head gently." Mommy and Daddy will take care of it. As

for you, you can continue playing this game, but be more careful as you progress."

"Yeah, I know." Nolan nodded. "If I suddenly stop playing right now, they might suspect that we've

discovered their intentions."

Nolan had already gone into the deep end, so he had to continue misleading them. Moreover, as Nicole

had said, perhaps the answer was in the game itself. Those reasons were more than adequate to keep

him playing.

After a while, Nolan laid down on his bed and smiled at Nicole. "Good night, Mommy."

"Good night. Sleep well, my boy."

After pulling the blanket over Nolan, Nicole left the room silently.

When she got back in her room, she saw that Jared was already there waiting for her.

She took a deep breath and remarked, "Nolan is more astute than I thought."

She had expected Nolan to notice it after some time, just not this quickly.
