My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2599

Chapter 2599

After a pause, Mr. Riddle Sr. continued, "Anyone who crosses my great-grandson or great-granddaughter in the future will have to deal with the Riddle family."

"You're too serious, Mr. Riddle Sr. Why would we bother a small child?" everyone chimed in jokingly.

"Well, you won't. Go back and tell your kids to act accordingly and not to bully our Nolan or hit on Lana," Mr. Riddle Sr. informed them seriously.

Maximillian was immediately united with Mr. Riddle Sr. at the idea and echoed, "Yes, no hitting on our Lana."

Nicole could not help but feel bewildered at their instant unity, as they had just been secretly competing with each other.

"Grandpa, that's a little too far ahead," Nicole whispered. After all, Lana was just five years old. She was still at an age where she liked having fun. Nicole thought these two old men were thinking too far ahead.

"Why not? I had to protect Lana," Mr. Riddle Sr. rebuked.

Maximillian lowered his voice and said, "Although Lana is young now, she's pretty. Just in case she gets targeted by any of the boys, we have to be on guard."

They were just giving these people a heads-up not to think about hitting on their precious child.

"So you want Lana to just stay home?" Nicole asked.

Mr. Riddle Sr. and Maximillian choked, their expressions a little torn.

"Well, it has to be someone we're satisfied with," they huffed. The two old gentlemen reluctantly agreed and added, "But not now, we have to wait until Lana grows up."

Laughing, Nicole reminded them, "Grandpa, we're here today to announce their identities, not set up blind dates for them."

From the very beginning, when Lana came back and found out that Jared was her biological father, she had loved Jared ever since. In her heart, Jared was her only father.

Everyone redirected their gaze to Nolan, and he felt the pressure instantly. Before, Jared saved him and was injured because of him. It was the first time Nolan felt protected by his father. Naturally, he was willing to accept Jared.

However, he still seemed to be unable to openly call Jared his dad.

"Come on, Nolan," Lana urged her brother, noticing his silence.

The others did not push Nolan, but their expressions were filled with anticipation. Everyone hoped Nolan could call Jared his father and truly accept him.

"Grandpa, let's talk about something else," said Jared, shifting the conversation. He knew Nolan still needed some time and did not want to pressure him.

Maximillian could only agree. "Alright then."
