Chapter 2250
"Of course, when you all get married, your mom and I can finally be at ease." Daniel looked at Stanley and Spencer,
as if to suggest that the both of them were the odd ones out.
"Don't look at me, you should be saying this to Stanley," Spencer quickly protested, arguing that he had a girlfriend,
and that Stanley was the only one among them who was still single.
In a split second, Daniel redirected his glance to Stanley, who threw his arms up as if in surrender. "Pretend I never
said anything."
Stanley had always been a person who did not have a hoot to give about relationships, let alone marriage. As such,
he did not mind if his younger siblings got hitched way before he did.
Daniel and Gloria both exchanged glances, after which they each issued a sigh of defeat. Both were praying that
Stanley would soon understand where they both were coming from.
Stanley quickly scarfed his food down to divert everyone's attention.
"Forget it. Let's dig in." Daniel said, giving up on convincing Stanley.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGloria began to dig into her food too.
"Mom, Dad. Don't worry about things like these. Marriage
isn't something we take lightly. Who knows that after Spencer gets married, perhaps Stanley might even get himself
a girlfriend," Nicole posited.
Gloria nodded. "Ah, at least Nicole understands."
Gloria glanced at Stanley as she spoke, causing him to scarf his food down even faster. Not once did he lift his head
up thereafter as he kept his eyes on the plate.
Having noticed Stanley's behavior, Gloria dropped the idea entirely. She shook her head and urged everyone to eat
up, before proceeding to gush about Spencer and June's wedding as it was the only exciting news for her to look
forward to.
Once dinner was over, the Riddle family all sauntered over to the living room to lounge about.
"Mom, I'll be heading up first, I have to continue writing my thesis," Stanley said, finding an excuse to flee from his
parents' grasps.
"I'm going to leave too. There's a new score I must study on, " Spencer followed suit.
He was afraid that after Stanley had left, he would be the next to be placed under the spotlight.
Gloria wore a blank look on her face as she watched her two sons scrambled away. 'It is true when they say that
daughters are more considerate than sons. Nicole's the youngest and she has never gotten me to worry about her.
My sons on the other hand...'
"Mom, Dad. You can head up to bed. We can take care of Lana and Nolan," Nicole said to Daniel and Gloria.
"Alright, you guys better not stay up too late."
Soon after, the old couple left for their bedroom to get themselves some sleep.
Nolan and Lana were still engrossed with the TV show they were watching when Nicole went up to them. "Nolan,
Lana? It's time for bed."
"Okay." The two of them quickly switched the TV off and headed upstairs with Nicole and Jared.
Nolan had just entered his room when he saw a pop-up on his computer. In an instant, he hurried over and clicked
on it a few times. To his surprise, however, there was no pop-up at all.
"Mommy, there's progress!" Nolan shouted in enthusiasm.
Nicole quickly rushed over to check on the mission she had posted, and that was when she noticed that someone
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad accepted it. Her eyes widened in shock before a solemn look took over.
Nolan quickly climbed off his seat. Then, Nicole quickly sat down and waited for the updates from the person.
However, there was none.
"Mommy, what does this mean? They accepted the mission and they're not giving us any updates!" Nolan yelled out
in confusion.
'Mommy was the one who posted the mission. Why did they accept it without proceeding? It makes no sense unless
they're clueless. But then, how could they simply accept the mission? Or are they prying for answers, just like they
had done last time?' Nolan pondered.
Nicole quickly came over to assess the situation and that was when she saw that someone had accepted her
mission. Earlier, she had ensured that she had rerouted her IP address so that no one could track her down.
"Mommy, do you think he accepted it and had logged off to do some research?" Lana blinked her eyes as she
asked.
Jared picked Lana up into his arms. "Lana is right."
"Yes, I was right! I'm smart!" Lana boasted. 'Daddy agreed to what I said, which means I'm right! I can finally help
them!'
