Chapter 2694

“I’m planning to leave the country. I must obviously prepare my family for what’s to come. When the time comes for me to leave, they would have no choice but to accept it,” she said.

Cherry then raised her brows in smug satisfaction as if to say, ‘What do you think? It’s a pretty clever trick, huh?’ Stanley finally understood that Cherry was trying to buy herself more time. By putting on a show with Stanley, Cherry’s family would let down their guard. And when Cherry had made the necessary arrangements, she would leave the country at once. When that happened, her family would be left with no other option but to bite the bullet.

After giving it some thought, Stanley agreed, “Alright, deal.”

Stanley had always thought that Tia had feelings for someone else, so he had chosen to stay by her side without saying a word. But at this very instant, he felt that he should give himself a fighting chance and seize the opportunity to be with her. No matter what the result was, he was certain that he would not regret his attempt.

“Okay, it’s a deal then.” Cherry issued a sigh of relief.

With this out of the way, she could be at ease and handle all the procedures needed for her migration.

Although it was cold and ungrateful of her to flee before informing her family, she was left with no other choice.

Cherry was very much done with being pressured into getting married or being shoved into blind dates at this point.

Cherry believed that her fateful soulmate would appear one day, but she was not convinced that she would find that person by attending countless blind dates. It was not an ideal way to get to know someone in her opinion.

“But you must not overdo it when you bully me.” Stanley reminded Cherry.

Upon hearing that, Cherry could not help but laugh. “Don’t worry. I’m just putting on a show for Tia.

Why would I do that to you for real?”

‘Must he take this so seriously? No wonder he’s in the field he’s in,’ she thought.

By the time Tia returned, Cherry had already left.

After glancing around, Tia asked, “Why is she gone already?”

“She had something to do.” Stanley gave Tia an odd look, one which she failed to notice.

“Oh.” Tia poured a glass of water for Stanley. “Have some water.”

“Thank you.”

After Stanley had taken the glass from her, he looked at Tia and asked, “Is the doctor here yet?”

“I’ve enquired moments ago. The doctor is making his rounds. It’ll be our turn soon,” Tia replied.

down and said, “As long as the results of the medical checkup are normal, I can finally leave this place.”

“Be patient. The progress of your recovery is rather quick, so I’m sure you’ll be discharged soon,” Tia comforted Stanley.

“Yeah, and thank you for your hard work over the past few days. Once I’m discharged, you should go back and get some rest too.” Stanley said.

He felt a little sad seeing Tia tending to him and his needs so diligently.

Tia bit her lips lightly. “It’s nothing. After all, you wouldn’t have gotten injured if it wasn’t because of us.”

Although Stanley was saving Nolan and Lana, he had also helped her.

Therefore, Tia was exceedingly grateful for what he had done.

As the doctor entered the room, Stanley and Tia looked away from each other…

Meanwhile, at the Riddle Corporation, Lulu was already waiting for Nicole outside of the office upon her arrival.

“You’re here,” Lulu greeted, seemingly in high spirits.

Upon noticing that Lulu looked much livelier than before, Nicole smiled. “It seems that your honeymoon did you a lot of good.”

“It definitely was a good trip.” Lulu smiled. “Now, it’s your turn to wait for your opportunity to go on a honeymoon.”

To be able to travel and relax without having to worry about anything would be a good life to have, as fleeting as it would be.
