"She'll become my aunt-in-law, right?" Lana asked.
"Yeah, Aunt June is going to be your aunt-in-law," Lulu responded.
Then, Lana looked up and asked, "What about you, Aunt Lulu? When will you be my aunt-in-law?"
Lulu became embarrassed, not expecting to be dragged into this. "Hey, this is about Aunt June. Leave me out of
this."
Everyone burst out laughing the moment the remark was uttered.
Lulu's cheeks turned even redder as the realization dawned upon her that, as the gossip queen, she had become
the topic of gossip today.
"Let's have a toast!" Samuel raised his glass in high spirits.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThough he was drinking juice, he downed his glass as though it was a shot of strong liquor, nonetheless.
The dinner ended merrily, and everyone left feeling content.
After seeing his family off, Samuel pulled June in and held her tightly in his arms and whispered, "Let's get married
once I've recovered."
"That soon?!" June exclaimed in shock.
"I find that it's way past due, honestly."
If she did not have any concerns and reservations, they might have even been married already.
'When I've completely recovered, I'm going to give her a formal marriage proposal and a grand wedding
ceremony,' he thought.
Meanwhile, everyone else downstairs was getting ready to go home.
"I'll take Lulu home now," Spencer said to the others.
"Then we'll head home as well." Nicole nodded in agreement.
After Spencer and Lulu had driven away, Nicole and Jared got ready to get in the car with Nolan and Lana.
Tia hesitated for a moment but ultimately kept her silence. She could not possibly join the kids and hitch a ride in
Jared's car, so she figured she would just go home on her own.
Stanley, who seemed to have noticed her hesitation, whispered, "Come with me."
Nicole raised her eyebrow when she heard Stanley. She waved goodbye to him before getting in the car with her
kids to make her way home.
"Let's go," Stanley said as he looked at Tia.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Stanley." Tia replied, wracked by nerves as she got in his car.
However, she slipped just as she turned around and lost her balance, whereupon she tipped over and tumbled to
the ground.

the worst from happening.
All of a sudden, Tia was in his arms with her cheeks against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. For a moment
there, Tia's mind went blank.
"Are you alright?" Stanley's concerned voice emanated from above.
In a split second, Tia quickly came to her senses and lifted her head.
Their eyes met, and their lips were on the verge of touching. Tia's heart raced as she pushed Stanley away in a
panic.
"Thank you. I'm fine," she responded as she bowed her head, her heart thumping against her ribs.
At that instant, Tia was flustered and could not think straight.
Stanley's gaze darkened as he observed her anxious behavior.
He then whirled around and made a beeline for the car as he said, "Come on, let's go home."
Stanley knew that he had to keep a distance when he saw her shying away from him. Otherwise, she would only
become even more flustered.
