Chapter 2803
Just as Jared laid down, Nicole’s arm reached over and landed on Jared's chest. She was leaning
toward him as if she had sensed his presence.
Smirking, Jared embraced Nicole affectionately and gently kissed her on the forehead before going to
sleep.
The next day, the sunlight was brilliant and warm. After breakfast, Tia came over to get the kids and
send them to school.
Jared and Nicole were ready to leave for work as well, but as Stanley was about to walk out the door,
Gloria stopped him.
"Stanley, invite Cherry to have dinner at home tonight," Gloria ordered without stopping to ask for
Stanley's opinion.
She knew very well that Stanley would refuse if she had asked him.
"Mom, I don’t think that's possible," Stanley frowned, feeling awkward and uncomfortable.
"Why not? Did the two of you really get into an argument? No wonder she hasn't been around lately,"
Gloria assumed, and her mind began coming up with all sorts of possibilities.
Stanley was rendered speechless as he rubbed his temples." Mom, it's not like that. You're overthinking
it."
"Have her over for dinner tonight if you don't want me to worry about it. If not. I'll personally look for
her," Gloria insisted.
Seeing the look on Stanley's face made Gloria even more worried. He had finally gotten himself a
girlfriend after a long string of failed blind dates she had set up for him. Thus, Gloria was genuinely
concerned that he had broken up with Cherry.
"Mom!" Stanley yelled in exasperation.
He was left completely helpless, not knowing how to explain it to Gloria.
To prevent her from thinking too much, Stanley reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I'll get her to come over."
"Don't just tell her. Make sure she actually comes over," Gloria reminded, still concerned about him and
Cherry.
In turn, Stanley shook his head with a hint of frustration and replied, "Okay, I got it."
"Alright, off you go then," Gloria said, finally feeling relieved.
Stanley walked out of the house, and there, he accidentally locked eyes with Tia, who hurriedly avoided
his gaze.
Then, she beckoned to Nolan and Lana, "Come on, kids. Let's go."
"Alright," Nolan and Lana responded, whereupon they followed Tia into the car.
Stanley had a conflicted frown on his face while he watched the car speed off. He could feel Tia's
sadness when she was
there to overhear his conversation with Gloria. Even though Cherry had explained the situation to Tia,
the latter still seemed to have reservations about the entire situation.
"Mom, we're leaving too," Nicole informed, after which she walked out of the house holding Jared's
hand.
As she sauntered past Stanley, who seemed to be rooted on the spot, she urged, "Come on now."
"Oh, yeah," Stanley snapped back to reality.
He then followed the couple out. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
At the courtyard, the car where Tia and the kids were in had already left.
Nicole noticed Stanley's attention on Tia's absence and asked, "When is Cherry leaving?"
"She's flying off in another three more days. She wants to treat everyone to a meal before leaving,"
Stanley explained.
"I'm alright with that. Should we have dinner tonight then?" Nicole decided after thinking about it for a
moment.
However, Stanley frowned and said, "But Mom wants her to visit us in our house tonight."
"Don't worry about Mom, I'll explain things to her," Nicole reassured. "Honestly, you should not worry
about other things now. Your main focus should be on your relationship with Tia."
