Lawrence was also unwilling to see Nolan go, but when he remembered that they had made a promise
with one another. Lawrence spoke up. "Why not let him play for a while to his heart's content, I mean,
since we're already here, we can go for lunch too; I've already made reservations. If he can't go, it'll just
be the two of us."
Lawrence's sudden statement caused Nicole to hesitate. 'In situations like these, especially if he and I
were to go out for a meal, it would be best for Nolan to be there.'
"Alright then." Nicole agreed in defeat.
"Yay!" Nolan cheered, instantly looking happier.
Nicole shook her head and issued a soft sigh before walking alongside Lawrence to bring Nolan back
to the amusement park again.
"He hasn't looked this happy in such a long time." Lawrence sighed as he saw the look of joy on
Nolan's face.
"Before this, all I ever wanted to do was to protect them. I didn't want to put them in danger. However,
what I didn't consider was that Nolan would go behind my back to participate in the hacking
competition. Things spiraled beyond my control when that happened, and ever since then, there has
been no turning back. I can only accept things as they come," Nicole solemnly said.
Nicole understood Lawrence's intentions, and that his remark was not intended just for Nolan. It also
stood as a reminder that living on Crescent Island was more suitable and comfortable for them. It was a
place where they were able to live free from all constraints.
Before coming back to San Joto, Nicole was not aware of anything at all; she had no idea about the
different lives she could have and had been, but now that she knew, there was no going back. The
responsibilities and obligations Nicole had acquired following her return were indications that she could
no longer shy away from it. All her friends and family that were here had created anchors of attachment
for Nicole that were almost impossible for her to ignore and disregard.
"I know that once you've made a decision, there's no going back, but I just want to remind you that
you're always welcome to come to me anytime if there's anything you need, even here in San Joto, I'll
lend you a hand whenever you need it," Lawrence solemnly replied in consideration of what Nicole had
just stated.
"Thank you so much for your constant help and care for all those years, Leo. I hope these things won't
hold you back from getting married and having children of your own. Besides, there is a lot to take in
whenever one comes to San Joto, and there are definitely things to deal with, but for me, I'll be fine,"
Nicole said as her expression darkened.
'As for the constant changes, I best be tackling them one by one,' she thought.
Lawrence could not help but feel helpless as he reminisced the times in which he had helped her with
her children on the island. 'Her attitude toward me now is so cold. Though she had thanked me for
saving her life, she had done so out of courtesy as a friend. Perhaps she could've been mine if I waited
out a little longer but now, the distance between us is getting wider. I guess this is what I have been
afraid of. The end results that I've least hoped for.'
"Mommy, godfather. Let's go!" Nolan happily ran over to the two of them after a while of playing.
"Come on, it's almost time for lunch anyway. Nolan, you must be hungry from all the running, right?"
Lawrence suggested.
Nolan nodded his head vigorously. "Yeah, I'm starving."
"How could you still play if you're starving?" Nicole said, feeling helpless.
"It's rare for both mommy and godfather to bring me out to play," Nolan giggled, grinning ear to ear.
It was evident that Nolan had accepted Lawrence more as the father figure in his life.
Nicole bit her lips lightly as she understood where Nolan was coming from, but she did not respond in
fear of dragging this topic longer than she desired to. 'I don't know why this brat said it out loud. He has
really put me on the spot.'
Nicole fastened Nolan to the car seat, and before long, they were on their way to the restaurant. Once
they arrived, they were quickly ushered to their seats as Lawrence had made reservations. Their meals
were served in the same fashion too.
"Wow. This is delicious." Nolan's eyes lit up as he watched the food being served.
He was starving from all the running in the morning.
"Dig in." Lawrence smiled affectionately as he gestured at the boy to help himself.
