Chapter 3094

"I'll accept the gifts on their behalf, but I still can't invite you to the birthday party. It's just not appropriate," Nicole stated calmly, without hesitation.

Lawrence, feeling a bit awkward, managed a helpless smile and said, "Even though I just threatened you, you didn't have to retaliate so quickly." He knew she wouldn't invite him to the birthday party, but her blunt declaration still made it hard for him to accept.

"I'm just stating the facts," Nicole replied with a serene smile, appearing innocent.

Lawrence was momentarily lost in thought, just as Lulu came in.

"Mr. Royce, your coffee." Lulu said, placing the coffee on the table.

A flicker of discomfort crossed Lawrence's face. "No need, I was just leaving now that we've discussed everything."

Watching Lawrence leave abruptly, Lulu looked surprised. "He's gone just like that?"

"Nicole, was it something you said? He seemed a bit off," Lulu inquired.

"It's nothing, just that I didn't invite him to the birthday party," Nicole replied.

"So, he's angry?" Lulu murmured, frowning. "But he didn't seem like it."

Nicole couldn't help but give Lulu an amused look. "What are you muttering about?"

"Oh, nothing." Lulu glanced at the bags on Nicole's desk. "So, you accepted the gifts."

"Yes, it's simpler that way. Besides, they're for Nolan and Lana, so it's ultimately up to them," Nicole said.

"Right, that probably explains why he left without making more of a fuss," Lulu said as she nodded.

Nicole set the bags aside, her gaze lingering for a moment before she resettled in her chair. "Alright, no more worries. You don't need to fret."

"Okay then, I'll get back to work," Lulu said, turning to leave.

Meanwhile, as Lawrence got into the car, lan noticed that the bags of gifts were not with him and said, "Nicole accepted them?"

"Yes," Lawrence replied. "Drive."

"Yes, sir." After lan responded, he sensed that Lawrence's mood was off and couldn't help expressing concern. 'Mr. Royce, you seem upset even though the gifts were delivered. Did something happen?" "It's nothing." Lawrence's tone carried a hint of irritation as he turned his gaze toward the window.

Images of Nicole just moments ago flashed through his mind, reminding him of their time on Crescent Island. Back then, she had no memories and lived carefree, with him being the only one she would get close to.

But everything changed upon their return to San Joto, especially after she regained her memories.

The events that unfolded had only driven them further apart, to the point where they were almost enemies.

Feeling a tightness in his chest, Lawrence paled. His expression was solemn.

The next day, in the evening, everything was ready for the birthday party at the Riddle residence. The house was filled with lights and laughter, bustling with a large gathering. It wasn't just a few relatives; Benjamin, Dillon's family, Dexter's family, and even Maximillian were there to celebrate the kids' birthday.

"Lana, your family is huge, even bigger than mine!" Nona exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement.

"Yeah, that's my great-grandfather, and those are my grandparents..." Lana began introducing her family to Nona. 1

Nolan motioned to his friends. "Let's sit here. Grandma said this area is just for us kids."
