Chapter 2646
To that, Nolan replied, "Yes, we originally wanted Tia to take us there, but then Ms. Jean said she wanted to go too,
so she came along with us."
Gloria quickly imagined how Cherry had doted on Nolan and Lana, leading them to become even more fond of her.
'It seems that Cherry really likes children, so Nolan and Lana might just have one more person to love them, which
is great,' she thought.
"Stanley, come here and tell me, how was it today?" Gloria asked, almost starting to see Cherry as her future
daughter- in-law and was eager to hear Stanley's opinion.
Stanley, feeling a headache, ran fingers through his hair and said, "Mom, I'm tired. I’m going to get some sleep."
And after he had spoken, Stanley hurried up to his room
"Look at him, acting all shy." Gloria became even more elated, feeling that this issue was basically settled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStanley, however, just could not be bothered to explain anything to Gloria. Although Cherry had spent the entire
day with them, he did not feel much for her. He also felt that Cherry did not seem to harbor any romantic feelings
for him. The setting and the circumstances surrounding the both of them were the only factors that had enabled
them to relax around one another, so he considered them friends, at most.
Clearly, his family did not see it that way. He also felt that since they had misunderstood everything that had
transpired today, he would just let things be.
Maybe they won't urge me to go on blind dates anymore. That way, I don't have to deal with all that incessant
nagging, ' he thought.
"Mom, let Stanley decide for himself," Nicole said meaningfully, looking at the general direction where Stanley had
disappeared.
"If he could settle down earlier, I'd be able to be at ease at long last," Gloria said.
At least he did not disappoint her this time. 'There is progress between the two, isn't there? Well, that's good
enough for me.'
Nicole shot a glance at Gloria and decided not to voice her thoughts. She would wait for Stanley to explain it
himself.
Everyone soon went upstairs, with Nicole taking Nolan and Lana back to their room.
"Mommy, do you know that Ms. Jean is even more of a child than we are?" Lana beamed, having seen how Cherry
had enjoyed playing more than she and her brother did.
"Tell Mommy what Ms. Jean is like and what happened today," Nicole asked Nolan and Lana.
But when Nicole was done listening to her kids, she issued a sigh of defeat. 'No wonder Stanley didn't want to tell
Mom. It was... not a date at all. It was more like Stanley and Tia taking three children out to play.'
Nicole then decided that the entire situation was hopeless after she had understood what it was about. She would
just wait for Stanley to explain things to them himself.
However, she felt that Stanley would most likely not say a word. After all, he would simply enjoy the peace from the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmillusion created, since Gloria would not push him into more blind dates anymore.
After reading a storybook to Nolan and Lana for a while, Nicole proceeded to ask her children to go to bed.
By the time she returned to her own room, she noticed that Jared was still busy with something in front of his
computer.
Seeing this, she raised her eyebrows in concern and asked," Aren't you done yet?"
"I'm almost done." Jared shot a glance at Nicole and flashed her a faint smile.
"Okay, carry on then," Nicole said, grabbing her pajamas and entering the bathroom.
Jared's eyes darkened the instant he heard the sound of the water splashing and running in the bathroom. He
turned his gaze back to the computer screen and made haste, typing away furiously.
Soon after, Nicole came out of the bathroom and dried her hair with a towel. Suddenly her vision darkened as she
bumped into a brick wall of a chest.
"Ugh." She knew it was Jared even without looking.
Nicole rubbed her nose and asked, "Jared, why are you standing here?"
Before she could even complain, Jared snatched the towel from her hand and draped it back over her head.
