Watching the two children eat happily, a trace of amusement flashed in Jared's eyes as he handed a fruit box to Nicole. "Have some."

Nicole felt inexplicably guilty because of what happened earlier. Though she knew that there was nothing wrong with having a meal with a friend, she could not help but feel nervous in front of Jared.

"Daddy, why didn't you find us earlier? If you had found us earlier, we could've played on the island together," Lana said while eating, not forgetting to question Jared.

'If Daddy had found us earlier, he could've taken us out to play and enjoy some delicious food. That would've been awesome.'

Jared's mood was already gloomy because of Lawrence, but he had no reason to blame Nicole. After all, she did not remember him. However, Lana's words made his heart ache.

"I've been looking for you all this time." Jared's gaze dimmed and his voice became hoarse.

He had never given up searching for them for the last five years, but Nicole seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth without a single trace of her existence.
