Chapter 2661

“Thank you, Stanley,” Tia said, biting the bullet to take the apple.

Stanley’s hand was stiff, he hated Tia’s formality.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared brought the kids to the Riddle family manor.

Leaning against her seat, Nicole looked out the window and smirked. She had a hunch about what was going on between Stanley and Tia. It seemed that the two had a misunderstanding, or more likely, they were facing an obstacle.

‘Stanley probably thinks Tia has a crush on Martin, so he did not express his feelings to her all this while, only secretly taking care of her. Martin also cares about Tia, and she appears more at ease with him.

Maybe I was wrong? Maybe Tia really likes Martin?’

Nicole shook her head at the situation. With Cherry now involved, things would only get more complicated.

“Let them handle their affairs,” Jared suddenly said, holding Nicole’s hand. Nicole chuckled and agreed, “Yeah.”

Nicole was just thinking the same thing. She knew she had no place to interfere with them. It was up to the group to decide their fate. She only hoped they could all find happiness in the end.

Back in the Riddle family manor, Daniel and Gloria expressed their concern as they saw the family come in.” Oh, you’re back. How’s Tia?”

“She’s fine. If nothing happens today, she could be discharged tomorrow,”

Nicole informed.

“That’s good news,” said Gloria, relieved. She then gestured to the family. “I’m sure you haven’t gotten your dinner yet.”

“Yeah, we came right back after visiting Tia,” Nicole replied.

Daniel and Gloria got up. “Come on then, we haven’t either.”

“You hadn’t eaten your dinner?” Nicole asked, surprised. They went to the hospital and came home later than usual. Nicole did not expect her parents to not have eaten yet.

“We didn’t have much of an appetite and waited for your return,” Gloria explained. None of her kids were home, and the house felt a little empty.

The family sat down in the dining room, and dinner was served.

“Is Stanley still in the hospital?” Gloria questioned.

Nicole nodded. “Yes, he stayed back to take care of Tia.”

“Well then. What’s going on with them?” Gloria’s curiosity was piqued, and her eyes gleamed with anticipation.

They all saw when Stanley carried Tia in his arms in the morning. His concern for Tia was sincere, and he even stayed in the hospital to take care of her. These were the signs everyone saw.

Nicole hesitated but decided to come clean. “Mom, Cherry was there too.”

Gloria was stunned. “Cherry went to visit Tia?”

“Yes.” Nicole nodded. “I think we should let them handle their affairs on their own.”

Gloria could not grasp the situation. After listening to Nicole, she thought about it before agreeing.

“Alright then.

Stanley already has a few close relationships with girls. I’m not that worried for him.”

“You’re scared Stanley will be a miserable old man for life?” Nicole chuckled.

“Who knows?” Gloria replied, rolling her eyes. She had no mercy in dissing her son.
