My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2764

Nicole and Jared returned home, and Nolan and Lana followed suit soon after.

Due to the fact that it was a busy day today, Samuel, Spencer, Lulu, and June had all shown up as

well, bringing the living room to life.

After Tia had dropped Nolan and Lana off, she was about to leave when Lulu stopped her. "Stay and

have dinner together. The more the merrier."

"Yeah, please stick around," June echoed.

Tia, who looked a little hesitant, darted her eyes at Nicole. Though she had no issues with anyone

present, she really did not want to stay, simply because she did not know how to face Stanley.

Although Cherry had explained everything to her, she was still flustered and confused, for she had not

sorted any of her emotions out.

"Why don't you go and ask Mrs. Wallace Sr. first? It's up to you to decide whether you want to stay or

go home," Nicole suggested, understanding Tia's dilemma.

"Okay, I'll ask her first." Tia breathed a sigh of relief, bade farewell to everyone, and returned to her

house at the back. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Seeing this, Lulu lowered her voice and asked Nicole, "Didn't you say it was a good idea to have Tia

hang out with everyone and not be alone all the time?"

'Why did Tia leave when everyone is here?' she asked herself.

"The situation is a little different this time. Let them handle it themselves," Nicole whispered.

Having picked up on the trail of potential gossip, Lulu pulled Nicole aside and asked, "What's going

on?"

'Did something I wasn't aware of happened?' she wondered.

However, all Nicole gave Lulu was a wry smile. "No. There's nothing going on."

Even if there were, it would not be appropriate to discuss it in the present setting. 'People forget

everything when they're focused on gossiping.'

Lulu chuckled, understanding what was going on, and left it as it was.

"Mommy, I'm going back to my room." Nolan tugged at Nicole's sleeve.

"You're leaving again? Aren't you going to wait for us?" Nicole frowned, finding it strange.

For the past few days, Nolan had been going straight to his room after school, without even bothering

to watch TV.

"Mommy, Nolan is playing a very interesting game." Lana tilted her head and looked at Nicole as she

explained.

"A game?" Nicole frowned.

She did not know Nolan liked playing games. Previously,

Nolan would only use the computer to complete tasks assigned to him by The Hunters. He rarely

played games, if he even did at all.

"Yes, it's so much fun." Lana nodded vigorously, as if afraid that no one would believe her.

Gloria patted Lana on the head. "If you like playing it, go ahead, but remember to time yourselves.

Don’t get obsessed, okay."

"Yeah, we know," Lana replied.

After giving her grandmother her promise, she pulled Nolan aside and said, "Let's go, Nolan."

Nicole shook her head as she watched the two kids hurry up the flight of steps as if they had been

deprived of any recreation for a long time.

"I see everyone is here," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said, prompting everyone to shift their gaze to her.

Tia had pushed her in seconds ago. The former, however, was rather tensed up and uncomfortable.

"I was just preparing dinner. Now that Mrs. Wallace Sr. is here, let's go to the dining room." Gloria

invited Mrs. Wallace Sr., after which everyone stood up.

The entire family took their seats in the dining room as dinner was served, chatting and laughing

among themselves.

Nicole, who was sitting next to Jared, whispered to him, "Do you know what game Nolan is playing?"

"Probably some adventure game," Jared replied.

He had only caught a glimpse of it once, and had not looked into it ever since.

"Oh." Nicole responded. "But why is Nolan suddenly so interested in games like these?"

"Well, it's a game. He's still a child, after all." Jared replied, thinking there was nothing particularly

unusual about children playing games like these.
