Chapter 2427
"Oh. You're worried about this, Lana?" Daniel asked in surprise.
"Well, there's going to be fewer people around. When Mummy and Daddy get married, do we also need to move
into the manor next door? And if Uncle Stanley gets married, only Grandpa and Grandma will remain here," Lana
said.
Everyone was left dumbfounded upon hearing Lana's analysis, with all of them amazed at how this little girl could
think so far ahead and even be concerned about her grandparents.
"Don't worry. Your Uncle Stanley will be at home," Nolan said, giving his sister a look with his face all scrunched up
in a grimace.
"How would you know? Although Uncle Stanley doesn't have a girlfriend now, it doesn't mean he won't have one
later on," Lana objected, unconvinced that Stanley would remain single all his life.

Without further explaining, Nolan figured Lana would not understand no matter how well he explained it.
He then pulled Lana away, "Let's go. We'll head up. Everyone is going to eat now."
"No, I don't want to. You can go up by yourself," Lana pouted, refusing to go upstairs with Nolan.
Not intent on forcing Lana to accompany him, Nolan went up on his own. He was going to take on another mission
today.
Soon, everyone settled down in the dining room.
As she thought about Samuel and Spencer, Gloria's expression changed. Gloria felt that what Lana said was right.
The family was indeed getting smaller, and soon, everyone would leave.
It was inevitable but it was still somewhat bittersweet. She had always hoped that her kids would have families of
their own. However, once they started their own family, they would no longer be as close as they used to be,
leaving the house and turning it into an empty nest.
Nicole had a meaningful look on her face as she eyed Stanley. She too felt what Lana said was right. Lana must
have sensed something unusual, one apparent enough for her to arrive at such a conclusion.
It would be great if Stanley could get together with Tia and live at the Riddle residence. If one of them remained, it
would mean that there would be grandchildren in the future, and this in turn connoted that Gloria and Daniel would
not feel as lonely in the house. After all, living nearby was different from living under the same roof, even if the
other children moved out.
Noticing Nicole's stare, Stanley became somewhat uneasy." Stop staring at me. Let's eat."
"Stanley, I think Lana has a point. You should consider it, you know. After all, you have a head start," Nicole teased.
Stanley coughed, a look of awkwardness written all over his face. "Let's talk about me later. Right now, we should
focus on Samuel and Spencer."
"You're right. When we're done with them, you're next,” Nicole agreed, making Stanley even more embarrassed.
Taking a deep breath, Stanley looked at Jared. "Personally, I think that once they're settled, we should consider

"I like this proposal," Jared, who was naturally in favor of it, agreed, prompting a playful eye roll from Nicole.
"Awesome! Daddy and Mummy should get married too," Lana happily clapped her hands, her eyes brimming with
hope.
Nicole was at a loss for words as she wondered how the conversation had steered toward them. She did not
understand why those around her would be so eager to see her tie the knot. In her view, her marriage would not
make much of a difference at all.
Sighing inwardly, Nicole gently pinched Lana's cheeks." Mummy and Daddy are going to wait a little longer. Let's
think about Uncle Spencer and Uncle Samuel's wedding first. If
In Nicole's opinion, there were more important things to consider than marriage. First off, she was concerned about
her kids, Nolan and Lana, whose identities would be exposed if they became the flower girl and ring bearer
respectively.
Jared, who had been paying attention to Nicole's shift in expression, noticed her concerns too. With that, the look on
his face became sterner as well.
Soon after, the tranquil night progressed in silence.
