Chapter 2756
Cherry, who had linked arms with Gloria, happily chirped, "I'll go over and visit her after we've eaten
dinner."
Cherry had taken a fond liking for Gloria, in spite of knowing that she would not be with Stanley. She
envied him for having such an amazing mother, and if anything, Cherry actually felt at home under
Gloria's wing.
Ever since they met over a blind date that Gloria had set them up on, Stanley had made it clear to her;
they would not progress beyond a relationship which Cherry could be on board with.
On the other hand, Cherry loathed her family for setting her up on blind dates without her consent. She
did not want anyone to interfere with who she wanted to be with. She had, for the longest time, been
standing her ground and protesting that she was old enough to make her own decisions.
At the dinner table, everyone chatted with one another happily. However, once the meal was almost
over, Cherry slipped away to look for Tia. Nicole, who noticed this, shot Stanley a look of concern at
once.
Stanley shook his head at Nicole as a response. He knew that Cherry and Tia were not fighting over
him and that Cherry was a compassionate person who would not look down on or asperse others.
Above all, he knew Cherry's intentions very well and thus, decided to let them talk it out on their own.
With her family urging her to get married as soon as possible, Cherry had been left with no choice but
to leave. She was left with no choice but to flee and leave behind all she had known.
Nicole eyed the smug look on Stanley's face, and suddenly, something occurred to her, causing her to
drop the idea of telling him off. 'Perhaps he has already gotten things figured out and doesn't want to
use his and Cherry’s relationship as a coverup for his true feelings anymore. But then again, Cherry
could be the one trying to tie them both down. It would be an uphill battle to make a man stay when his
heart is already somewhere else.'
"Mom, Dad. We'll head upstairs now. Get Stanley to send Cherry back later," Nicole told her parents.
Catching the hint from Nicole, Gloria proceeded to warn Stanley. "Yeah, make sure you send her home
safe and sound.
"Yes, Mom!" Stanley replied.
Everyone then returned to their rooms. With Nicole being one of the last to leave, she gave Stanley a
firm look before heading up with Jared and the twins in tow. From NôvelDrama.Org.
'If I don't instruct him to send Cherry home, he would just leave her there to go home on his own. I
doubt he's still thinking of Tia,' Nicole thought.
Meanwhile, at the house in the backyard. Tia was taken aback by the Cherry’s sudden appearance.
"Why do you look so surprised? We're still friends, aren't we? " Cherry asked Tia, who looked well and
truly unimpressed.
"Yeah, we are," Tia awkwardly replied.
Tia did not have any intention of shutting Cherry out. She already had a hard time trying to accept
Cherry and
Stanley's relationship as it was., but unfortunately, she had not found the courage to do so. She
thought it would be a good idea to have some time to herself and process her feelings slowly.
However, Cherry had cut straight to the chase. "Tia, do you like Stanley?"
Tia's face flushed, becoming as red as a tomato, and she vigorously shook her head. "Please don't
misunderstand me.
I don't like him."
"The more that you deny it, the more I'm convinced you do," Cherry teased as a smile played out on
her face. If you have genuine feelings for him, it means that his efforts aren't in vain."
"No, I think you have misunderstood me. Mr. Riddle and I are never getting together, and it's not what
you think it is. He has finally found someone he truly likes, so please cherish what you both have," Tia
panicked.
'How am I supposed to explain this to Cherry? I don't want her to misunderstand me. I don't want to be
the cause of their breakup,' Tia thought.
