My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2947

Lawrence's eyes held a touch of genuine sorrow as he said," I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, but I

had things I needed to do.”

Nicole's response was steady and calm, "It's okay, that's all behind us now."

Their relationship had changed; it couldn't return to what it used to be.

Shifting the topic, Lawrence asked, "Can I go see Nolan and Lana?" He didn't want to dwell on the past

anymore.

He knew what Nicole's words implied - their friendship was over. He might not have another chance to

see Nolan and Lana, so he hoped to see them one last time.

Nicole considered this for a moment before answering, "You can see them at their school gate after

school. But don't bother them. And remember, this is the last time."

Lawrence felt a wave of sadness, realizing Nicole was setting a final boundary.

After a brief pause, he accepted, "Okay."

Knowing there was nothing more to discuss, Lawrence stood up, "I guess I should get going."

"Alright," Nicole gave a light nod.

As Lawrence neared the door, he stopped and turned back,"

If it's ever possible, would you think about going back to Crescent Island?"

He longed for the carefree days they had there, wishing they could have stayed in those moments

forever.

"I don't see that happening again. Maybe that place was never really for me," Nicole replied, her gaze

meeting Lawrence's.

He had saved her, offering her a haven at Crescent Island, but it was all just a strategy for her Fire

Crest. Looking back, it all felt kind of silly.

She had believed they were friends, but he had never truly seen her in that way.

A hint of sadness flashed in Lawrence's eyes. He gave a nod, opened the door, and stepped out.

No sooner had Lawrence left than Lulu rushed in, her face etched with worry. "Nicole, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Nicole responded, shaking her head dismissively. He was just testing her, and that was all.

Lulu settled next to Nicole, her curiosity apparent. "What did he say? He didn't look mad, but there was

something off about him."

Nicole knew Lawrence was here about the Water Crest. 'Is he blaming Nicole?' Lulu wondered.

"He was just digging up old memories and testing my reaction," Nicole said nonchalantly with a shrug.

"Really? Just that?" Lulu seemed surprised.

"Yeah," Nicole nodded. That's all that was left between her and Lawrence now. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

But Lawrence didn't look like he wanted to let go of their friendship. 'Is that why he's here, to see where

I stand?' Nicole pondered.

Nicole's eyes narrowed, a hint of suspicion flickering through them. 'Is he up to something new?'

Lulu let out a sigh, "This must be hard for you. How did you two even meet?"

Nicole's expression shifted slightly, remembering how Lawrence had once saved her.

"Forget about it. Just be careful around him," Lulu advised, her concern evident.

"Sure." Nicole nodded, thinking to herself, 'He came, he left, and even though he didn't say much, it felt

like everything was said...'

The sun dipped below the horizon, marking the day's end.

After work, Jared arrived to pick up Nicole.

"Let's get the kids," Nicole suggested as she hopped into the car. "I've already spoken to Tia."

Jared glanced at Nicole, "Is Lawrence going too?"

Catching Jared's knowing look, Nicole confirmed, "I told him he can watch from a distance. He won't

bother the kids, and it's just for today."
