Chapter 2608
"No, that's not what I meant. 1-1 just..." Tia stuttered, frustrated. She was blushing. "I like being at home."
Nicole, why don't you arrange a spot for her in your company? It doesn't matter if it's a janitor. I'm sure there'll be
chances for her to meet new people," Mrs. Wallace Sr. urged.
"No, I don't need that." Tia shook her head. She turned to Nicole. "Nicole, I'm fine. Just let me take care of
Grandma."
"But Grandma wants you to get married," said Nicole, pretending to sound conflicted.
Tia bit her lip and, after hesitating, she said softly, "Grandma, I don't want to get married."

"Nothing happened. I just feel that I'm quite satisfied with the life I have right now," Tia said with a half-smile, not
wanting Mrs. Wallace Sr. to worry for her.
"Grandma, I say let's forget about it. Maybe Tia's destiny has yet to come. There's no need to rush it," Nicole
reassured.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at both Nicole and Tia before agreeing. "Alright then. You're all grown up. I'm happy as long
as you're happy."
Mrs. Wallace Sr. could tell Tia had something on her mind, but Tia might not want to talk about it.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Gloria gestured to the food. "Alright, come on! Time for food."
"Yes, let's eat."
The topic of the conversation was shifted, and the atmosphere soon turned lively again.
Originally, Nolan and Lana were not hungry, so they sat for a while before going to watch television.
The others chatted around the table with laughter. Stanley would cast random glances at Tia, but Tia was busy
eating with her head low. Feeling disappointed, Stanley stopped looking and started eating his food.
Nicole saw both of their behaviors and felt slightly shocked. She wondered, 'Is there a misunderstanding between
them?
I feel like they still have feelings for each other, but why could they just not take a step forward in their
relationship?"
"Eat up," Jared's voice sounded right in her ears, and many more dishes filled her plate.
"Thanks, I'm good." Nicole smiled, signaling to Jared that her food was sufficient.

When the two exchanged glances, the atmosphere between them was inexplicably sweet.
After dinner, Tia and Mrs. Wallace Sr. went back to rest.
Daniel and Gloria gestured for everyone to sit in the living room.
"Mom, I still have an online meeting later," Stanley informed and escaped after sensing things were not right.
"Sit down," Gloria said sternly, which happened rarely.
Stanley had no choice but to sit down. He silently sighed to himself as he realized he was about to face more
pressure about getting married.
As expected, Gloria started asking about it. "Can you set a date? We'll adjust accordingly to your schedule."
"Mom, I really can't be sure," Stanley replied helplessly.
"What's there to be unsure about? How many more days is that seminar of yours going to happen?" Gloria asked.
"Three more days," Stanley said reluctantly.
