Chapter 2132
"Grandpa, Grandma!" Nolan and Lana cheered, walking toward the sofa.
Daniel and Gloria could not hide their smiles. "Our darlings came home."
Nicole came over and when she did not see the others, she asked casually, "Dad, Mom, where are my brothers?"
"Stanley has an academic symposium. Spencer and Samuel said they had something going on and won't be coming back today," Gloria replied.
"What are they doing? Are they going on a date?" Lana asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.
Gloria could not help but laugh. "No, sweetheart, it's work."
"Oh," Lana muttered. "I thought they went on a date."
Lana’s disappointed tone amused everyone, and they burst into laughter. However, Nolan wore a gloomy expression, lowering his head listlessly.
Sensing his grandson's unusual behavior, Daniel asked softly, "Nolan, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine, Grandpa." Nolan shook his head lightly and stood up. "I'll head back to my room first."
Nolan finished and went upstairs alone, clearly in a sad mood.
Daniel could not help but worry. ’’What's gotten into him?"
"Don't worry. Just let him rest," Nicole said evasively, not mentioning Lawrence.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I'll go upstairs too," Lana said. She was still worried about her brother, so she followed him upstairs.
Nolan had to figure this out on his own. No one else could help him.
"Oh, it's best if you could participate. Don't let the kid feel lonely when others have their parents, but they don't," Daniel admonished Nicole, feeling relieved.
"Yup, don't worry about it," Nicole gladly agreed. She did have some concerns before, but Jared told her to forget them as he would handle them. So she genuinely believed everything would be fine.
They talked while going upstairs. Knowing Gloria had checked on the kids, Nicole and Jared entered their room.
"How did you know about Lawrence's situation?" Nicole questioned as soon as they got in their room. She had been curious before but held back the urge to ask since the kids were present.
"He didn't tell you?" Jared's eyes flickered with a meaningful glint.
Nicole narrowed her eyebrows and replied, "He did come to my company today, but how did you know?"
