Chapter 2282

Stanley then moved one of the fruit bowls closer to Tia, and whispered, “Have some.”

“Okay.” Tia agreed with a nod before she picked a piece of fruit up and ate it.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Lulu nudged Nicole upon noticing Stanley’s treatment of Tia.

“Maybe…there’s something. Let’s just wait and see,” Nicole replied with a smirk.

Nicole felt that there was something going on between Stanley and Tia. However, she could not put a finger on what it was. They were both locked in a constant game of tug and war, and neither of them were willing to make the first move.

Lulu raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. “So… maybe…”

Then, she snickered as she stared at Stanley and Tia.

While everyone else was chatting away, June noticed that it was already dinner time, and so, she ushered everyone to the dining hall, where she had prepared fondue for everyone. Once they were all seated, they dug in. A round of wine was given to those who drank, and before they knew it, everyone was having a great time.

“Daddy, can I have some of that?” Lana asked, unable to reach some of the food on the table.

“Sure thing,” Jared replied and pinched Lana on her cheeks.

He had also noticed that Nolan was staring at them.

Knowing that the dish was also his favorite, Jared placed some onto Nolan’s plate.

Unwilling to accept this gesture from Jared, he bit his tongue and poked it out. “Thank you.”

“Be careful, it’s hot. You can tell me if you want to eat something you can’t reach.” Jared smiled at Nolan. ‘Well, at least there’s some progress.’

Meanwhile, Nicole had noticed how Jared looked at Nolan. Indeed, his face had on it a fatherly look with hints of tenderness in his eyes.

‘It’s not easy to get to where we are now,’ she thought.

Noticing that Nicole was staring at him, Jared flashed Nicole a few soft blinks, letting her know that he had been caught staring.

“I can handle it. Why don’t you go ahead and focus on your meal,” Nicole murmured after noticing that Jared had been taking care of the twins while she was eating.

Lulu glanced over at Nicole and Jared, her eyes brimming with envy. ‘These two have a great sense of synergy.’

“You have to eat too.” Spencer whispered into Lulu’s ear as he placed a few pieces of meat onto her plate.

Though no one had uttered a word, Lulu felt that everyone was staring at her, so she quickly looked down and blushed.

“I can get them myself.” Lulu replied in a low voice.

Lulu felt that she should not be displaying too much affection to Spencer in public, especially around his family members. After all, they were still dating, and as of now, their future was still uncertain.

“Don’t worry about it. I can give you whatever you want,” Spencer said in a low and husky voice.

With her heart pounding, Lulu froze and turned to look at Spencer.

“Okay.” Lulu replied before she quickly lowered her head.

Seeing this, Spencer could not help but smirk to himself.’ Why is she being this shy in front of my family? We’re all family…’

And when she felt that Spencer was staring, her cheeks grew hot once more, her heart leaping beats into her ears.

“June, how are you going to deal with the pictures of you and Samuel together?” Lulu bit her lip as she turned to June, switching the topic in a jiffy.

Lulu had decided that the issue involving Samuel and June was far more important as the matter had to be resolved with an end in mind. ‘Are they willing to admit to it, clarify the situation, or offer an explanation?’

“I actually have not thought about it,” June paused for a moment, stunned, as Lulu had abruptly brought this upon in the midst of the conversation.
