"Nicole, I'd like to invite you, Lana, and Nolan out for dinner today. Just take it as a celebration, for them having found a preschool that they like." Lawrence looked at Jared before asking Nicole out.

Feeling challenged, Jared's gaze became even frostier.

His tone was menacing as he said, "It's a father's responsibility to find a school that's the best for them. It's nothing worth celebrating."

"Don't stress it, Mr. Johnston. While you were not present in their lives, Nicole and I have been treating them well too," Lawrence calmly said, though every word uttered was extremely provocative.

Jared's expression darkened. Lawrence had hit the nail on the head, for this was indeed Jared's regret. Nevertheless, it was still not Lawrence's place to say something like that.

"Right. Since you're their godfather, it's only reasonable for you to look after them a little," Jared retorted.

At the end of the day, Lawrence was just their godfather. He had no blood relations with either of the children at all.

Lawrence clenched his jaw after Jared had put him in his place. Indeed, he was just their godfather, a position he was not happy with; he wanted to be their father.
