Chapter 3061

They had to plan stuff ahead so Steve could look after his pregnant wife without worrying about work and home.

"Okay, we gotta think about this and get it sorted," Daniel agreed, looking at Nicole. "If it's necessary, I can stay late at the office.'

Nicole shook her head, smiling. "Nah, Sean and I got it covered."

Some department heads could decide stuff on their own, passing tasks as needed, while she and Sean would talk about and figure out the big decisions. She was confident they could handle it. "Just don't push yourself too hard, okay? Take it easy,' Gloria advised Nicole, looking worried.

Nicole nodded, "I got it, don't stress.'

It was getting late, so after a bit of chatting, everyone went upstairs to rest.

In Nolan's room, Nicole said, "I'll check out everything about Royal Creek Elementary before deciding.'

"But Mommy, I really want to go to Royal Creek Elementary. I'll work hard, even if it's tough," Nolan said firmly.

"Alright, I'll think about what you said," Nicole promised.

After Nolan fell asleep, Nicole left his room and went back to hers. She noticed Jared standing by the window. "Lana went to sleep fast, huh?" she said as she approached him. "Yeah," Jared turned to face Nicole, his eyes full of love.

"It must've been tough for you, giving birth to our kids," Jared said gently, hugging Nicole tightly.

Nicole paused, realizing why Jared had seemed upset during dinner-it was because she'd mentioned childbirth preparations.

Looking up at Jared, Nicole smiled. "I'm okay, and having them was the best thing ever."

Having Nolan and Lana made her life much more exciting; it added so much color.

Jared held her close, feeling overwhelmed with tenderness, unable to fathom how she'd managed during those times.

Nicole nestled into his hug, wrapping her arms around his waist, her face beaming with happiness. To her, the past didn't matter anymore; all that mattered was the joy in her life. The next day dawned bright and sunny.

Nicole settled into her office chair when there was a knock on the door, and Ellar appeared.

"What brings you here?' Nicole asked, a bit surprised to see Ellar.

"Oh, nothing much, just wanted to check in," Ellar replied, trying to sound casual.

Nicole raised an eyebrow, her tone suggesting there might be more to it.■ Here to see me or someone else?"

Ellar's eyes flickered with awkwardness as he scratched his head. "Just checking in."

"Patricia's busy," Nicole teased, giving Ellar a playful look.

"Did she head to DillCorp?" Ellar asked, his instincts kicking in.

He had an inkling of what Patricia had been busy with lately. With the BayCorp matter settled, it was likely that Everett would set his sights on

DillCorp. Ellar wondered if Patricia was ready for it.

"Don't worry, she's got it under control,' Nicole reassured Ellar after noticing his concern.

"Okay," Ellar nodded. Despite his trust in Patricia's abilities, he couldn't shake off his wariness of Everett's ruthless tactics.

'If you're really worried, go check on her," Nicole teased lightly.

Ellar shook his head immediately. "I think it's best not to."

He and Patricia had agreed to keep their interactions strictly work-related. Going to see her now would break their agreement, something he couldn't bring himself to do. Seeing Ellar's conflicted expression, Nicole changed the subject. "Anything else?"

"No, just wanted to see if I could help with anything," Ellar said.

"Just focus on that project," Nicole instructed. "Lulu said she'd lend a hand too, so if you run into any problems, reach out to her.'
