Chapter 2470
"So, since the ceremony is the only thing that is missing, why not have it soon?" Gloria suggested.
Feeling really annoyed now, Nicole replied, "Mom, I'm already married. And hey, at least I'm not in Stanley's shoes.
He doesn't even have a girlfriend. Maybe you should focus on him?"
With that said, Nicole took Jared's hand and made a beeline for the dining room, wanting to distance herself from
the subjects.
Feeling that the spotlight was back on him, Stanley sighed." Alright, I'll post an ad on a dating app tomorrow."

with a plate of snacks.
"Hey Tia, what's up?" Nicole greeted, giving her a once-over.
Tia quickly set the plate of mini muffins down. "Mrs. Wallace was feeling good today. She made these since she
knows how much you love them and asked me to bring them to you."
Nicole's eyes lit up at the sight of the muffins. "Thanks, Tia. How's Grandma been lately?"
"She's doing well. I should get back to looking after her," Tia said, her voice hurried.
As she rushed out with her head bowed, it became clear to everyone watching that something was bothering her.
Nicole saw Tia's limp as she made her way out and could not help but glance at Stanley, who was observing Tia with
a grimace on his face. She sensed there was more to the story than she knew.
"Alright, let's dig in," Gloria announced once Tia had left.
"Sounds good," the group chimed in, and everyone settled into their seats at the dining table.
Nicole stared at the mini muffins, a rush of nostalgia washing over her. She remembered Tia's words about how
they were her childhood favorite, and that had prompted Mrs. Wallace Sr. to whip up a batch for her. After biting
into one, a genuine smile crossed her face.
"This takes me right back to my childhood," she murmured.
Memories of lazy summer afternoons with her grandmother, picking berries and laughing under the sun danced in
her mind. Those simple days, full of love and joy, were some of the bests she had ever had.

She paused, becoming a little flustered, and said, "I think a childhood memory just came back to me, but the rest...
it's still foggy."
"It's a good start, Nicole. Don't worry. All your memories will return someday," Gloria said, her eyes getting wet.
'At least Nicole's beginning to remember,' she thought.
"Yes, just take your time," Daniel added.
"You should visit Mrs. Wallace more often. It might help jog your memories," Stanley suggested.
"I will," Nicole said, feeling comforted by their words.
"Mommy, can we try some?" Nolan and Lana came over from the living room, their eyes set on the mini muffins.
Nicole smiled gently. "Of course. Here, have some."
