My Wife is a Hacker

Nicole's next task was simply to wait.

As the day turned to dusk, Nicole left the office to pick up Nolan and Lana with Jared. With Tia and Stanley busy with their wedding preparations, the couple decided to personally take care of picking up the children.

"Let's take the kids to the amusement park later,'1 Nicole suggested to Jared.

"Sounds good," Jared replied softly, always happy to go along with her ideas.

After picking up Nolan and Lana, Nicole told them as they got into the car," We won't be going home just yet. How about we go to the amusement park to have some fun?"

"Yay!" Nolan and Lana agreed excitedly. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Nicole smiled as she affectionately ruffled the kids' hair. They hadn't shielded Nolan and Lana from the events of the previous day. Although the kids didn't voice any concerns, Nicole sensed they might be feeling some stress.

She believed in not hiding such matters from them, thinking it was better they were aware and could perhaps be more vigilant, especially since their safety could be involved.

"Mommy, can we have ice cream there?" Lana looked up eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Of course," Jared replied, lifting Lana up and playfully tapping her nose.

Lana beamed with happiness, wrapping her arms around Jared. "Thank you, Daddy!"

Jared's face lit up with a doting smile.

Seeing the children's joyful expressions, Nicole felt a sense of relief. Thankfully, the situation hadn't negatively impacted Nolan and Lana.

At the amusement park, Nicole and Jared, along with Nolan and Lana, engaged in various rides and games the children enjoyed. Before they knew it, the sky had darkened completely.

Wiping the sweat from Nolan and Lana's foreheads, Nicole gently said, "It's getting late. How about we take you to have dinner and buy you some ice cream?"

"Okay!" Nolan and Lana joyfully agreed.

"After dinner, well head home," Nicole added.

"Alright," Nolan and Lana nodded in agreement. They had indeed played for quite some time, and it was getting too late to stay out.

After treating Nolan and Lana to ice cream, Jared and Nicole chose a nearby restaurant for a quick dinner.

Exiting the restaurant, the streets were already lit up with neon lights.

Holding Nolan and Lana, they got back into the car and headed toward the Riddle residence.

"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, the traffic is a bit congested, please sit tight," Max suddenly mentioned.

Nicole and Jared exchanged a look, then each held Nolan and Lana close.

They understood Max's hint; a car was following them. He didn't elaborate to avoid alarming Nolan and Lana.

The car picked up speed, with Max trying to lose the vehicle tailing them. He wasn't sure who was behind them, but being followed necessitated caution, especially with Nolan and Lana in the car. Raising an alarm could indeed scare them.

"Daddy, I feel a bit dizzy," Lana said, likely feeling nauseous due to the fast, uneven driving.

Jared held Lana closer, comforting her softly, "Hang in there; well be home soon."

"Okay,” Lana's little face turned pale as she snuggled into Jared's embrace.

Max tried to keep the car as steady as possible, but the high speed made it challenging to maintain a smooth ride.ab
