My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2738

However, precautions were necessary and they still had to be on guard for the foreseeable future.

Jared gently held Nicole's hand and looked at her with a tender and comforting gaze. In return, she

smiled as a sense of happiness rippled from within her heart.

Upon arriving at the Riddle residence, they saw that Tia had also just brought Nolan and Lana home.

"Mommy! Daddy!”

"Hello, Mr. Johnston and Nicole," Tia greeted.

The kids ran up to Nicole and Jared, with Tia following them from behind.

Nicole patted their heads affectionately as she smiled." You're back."

"Mommy, tomorrow is the parent-child event. Will you and Daddy be there?" Lana tilted her head and

asked with a hint of anticipation in her voice.

"Of course we'll be there." Nicole smiled and promised.

Indeed, she could not bear the idea of disappointing her two little cuties.

"Yay!" Lana cheered, and waved her little hands in excitement.

Nicole held Nolan and Lana's hands with a smile and brought them into the house. "Let's go inside and

talk."

Then, they made their way to the living room, where Daniel, Gloria, and Stanley were all present.

"Hi, Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle Stanley," Nolan and Lana politely greeted.

"Oh, my little darlings are back." Gloria beamed, and beckoned them to come to her. "Quick, come to

Grandma."

Everyone present sat down on the couch and gathered around for a chat.

"Nicole, if there's nothing, I'll be heading back home," Tia whispered to Nicole when she saw everyone

happily chatting away.

Nicole glanced at her, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in agreement. "Sure, go back and get some

rest."

"Okay." Tia nodded and left.

Stanley noticed Tia leaving and involuntarily looked in her general direction. Though Tia's figure had

already disappeared through the door, Stanley's gaze was still locked on it, as if he was stuck in a

daydream.

"Stanley?"

Hearing someone calling him, he snapped out of his stupor and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We are the ones who should be asking you what's wrong. Why were you staring at the door in a daze?

We called out to you several times." Gloria retorted.

Why is it that Stanley appears to be acting weirdly? Is he not feeling well?' she wondered.

"Oh, it's nothing." Stanley came up with an explanation. "I just thought of some work-related matters."

Upon hearing this, Gloria felt reassured and breathed a sigh of relief. "I see."

Nicole, however, was eyeing Stanley with arched brows. She had seen it very clearly; Stanley was

looking at Tia just now.

Suddenly, Stanley's phone rang. A frown crossed his face the instant he saw who the caller was.

After refusing to answer the call, Stanley sent Cherry a text message instead. [What's the matter?]

[I've got an emergency. Can you come out for a bit?]

[What's going on?]

[It seems that my family has sensed something, and they're insisting on seeing you. Can you help me

through this?] Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

[Why don't you explain to your family yourself?]

Stanley was not in a good mood, and the last thing he wanted to do right now was go out there and

help her out.

[Please, I'm begging you. There's something wrong with my visa application process. It'll take about

two weeks for me to sort it out. If they find out, all my previous efforts will be in vain.]

Cherry went on to send a few pleading emojis to Stanley, hoping he would agree to help her through

this.
