Chapter 2426
Moments later, the two returned to the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation. Overall, their lunch was still quite
enjoyable, barring Harvey's presence, which they ignored.
And after returning to the company, the two went back to work.
Soon, dusk fell. During the rush hours, the streets were crowded with people and cars as everyone made their way
home. By the time Nicole and Jared got home, Tia had just returned with Stanley and the kids.
Lovingly holding her children's hands, Nicole beamed. "Did you behave yourselves in kindergarten today?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Definitely!" Lana proudly raised her chin. "We've been super good!"
"That's great," Nicole praised.
After giving Lana's hair a gentle ruffle, Nicole held her hand and said, "Let's get inside."
The three of them headed back into their house, with Jared following behind with Tia and Stanley.
"Nicole, I'll head back to the backyard," Tia informed after a slight moment of hesitation.
This prompted Nicole to halt in her tracks and glance at Tia, and after a brief delay, she nodded. "Alright."
Tia returned the nod and ambled to the backyard while Stanley stared at her with his forehead creased.
"Come on," Nicole called out to Stanley, who snapped out of his thoughts and redirected his gaze.
"Yeah, right behind you."
Nicole had an inexplicable feeling that Stanley and Tia were behaving rather strangely, so she proceeded to give
Stanley a meaningful look.
Noticing that, Stanley shied away from Nicole's gaze and picked Lana up. "I'll carry you inside."
Nicole smirked upon noticing Stanley's behavior. She had a gut feeling that something was off.
The pair of Daniel and Gloria were already in the living room, and when their children and grandchildren marched
in, they commented, "Well, isn't this a coincidence? You all came back together today."
"Well, we just met in the courtyard," Stanley explained and plonked himself on the couch after putting Lana down.
"Where's Tia?" Gloria asked after noticing her absence.
To that, Nicole sat down and answered, "She went home."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh, alright." Gloria did not dwell on it, thinking that Tia must have just been tired.
"Since you're all back, let's eat," Daniel urged.
"Are Samuel and Spencer not coming home?" Stanley asked.
"They went to find their future wives, right?" Lana chimed in with her squeaky voice.
Everyone paused before bursting into laughter, whereupon Gloria patted Lana's head and smiled. "That's right.
They went to look for their future wives.”
"Ugh," Lana sighed while shaking her head.
Surprised, Gloria widened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Once they get married, will they even come back for dinner? They'll rarely eat at home in the future, right?" Lana
asked, looking a little crestfallen.
