Chapter 3010
"Thank you," Nicole expressed her gratitude with a warm smile as she thanked Jared.
"Dig in," Jared said, gently smoothing her hair before heading out of the room.
Nicole, slightly puzzled but not dwelling on it, started eating. She was genuinely hungry and also eager
to rest early.
Right after finishing her dinner, Jared returned with a cup of tea.
Nicole couldn't help but laugh, "I'm full now."
"The weather's cold, have some ginger tea," Jared softly suggested.
Only then did Nicole realize he had gone out again to make ginger tea. Taking the cup, she sipped the
warm tea.
Jared affectionately ruffled her hair, "Go rest now."
"You're not resting?" Nicole asked, a bit puzzled. She wondered, ’Isn't he going to sleep?'

her shoulder, motioning for her to head to bed.
Nicole planted a peck on Jared's cheek. "Okay, you better get some rest too. Goodnight."
Nicole thought that her search for Patricia might have interrupted Jared's work, so now he had to get
back to it.' No wonder he came to the hospital to pick me up.'
Seeing her lying down as instructed, Jared smiled warmly. He cleared the table and grabbed his laptop
to finish up the remaining tasks.
As the day started, Nicole gradually opened her eyes and peeked at Jared.
He was still asleep, likely having stayed up late the night before.
Filled with warmth, Nicole softly touched his cheek but stayed put in bed. Instead, she nestled closer to
Jared's arm, happy to stay peacefully beside him.
These calm moments were precious to her. She found solace just being with him.
Feeling her shift, Jared woke up and gazed at Nicole. "Don't you want to catch a bit more sleep?" he
inquired.
"Did I wake you?" Nicole inquired, a bit worried she might have disrupted his sleep.
"Nope," Jared answered, sitting up while keeping Nicole in his arms. "Let's go see how Nolan and Lana
are doing."
They hadn't seen Nolan and Lana last night, and Nicole knew the kids would be missing them.
"It's about time they woke up," Nicole said, checking the time.
After getting up and freshening up, they left the bedroom.
"Daddy, Mommy," Nolan and Lana came running toward them.
"We were just about to check on you," Nicole said, lovingly patting their heads.

"We were going to come wake you and Daddy," Lana said, looking up curiously. "Did you come back
late from work yesterday?"
"Not too late, but you were already asleep when we got home," Nicole replied with a smile.
"Oh," Nolan and Lana said, holding Nicole and Jared's hands. "Then you shouldn't come back that late
anymore."
"We'll try," Nicole responded, knowing she couldn't make a definite promise.
As they talked, they went downstairs to the living room. Soon, Daniel and Gloria came down, followed
shortly by Stanley.
The family gathered in the living room for breakfast.
"Ellar has been pretty occupied lately, what's he working on? " Gloria questioned Nicole.
"Busy?" Nicole pretended not to know.
"Emma hasn't crossed paths with him much, so she told me to check," Gloria clarified.
Nicole kept her cool, not giving away too many details about Eliar's situation.
