"Well, of course you can," Nicole promised.
Hearing Nicole's promise, Nolan added, "What about some ice cream?"
"You can have that too," Nicole agreed.
Then, she turned to Max and ordered, "Let's go to a hamburger restaurant."
"Sure thing," Max replied, and drove them to the nearest highway. As soon as he spotted a hamburger joint, he
pulled up in front of it.
The family got out of the car, entered the restaurant, and ordered two sets of hamburger and ice cream, which the
kids enjoyed. As for the couple, they had only bought some fresh fruit juice for themselves.
While sipping on her glass of apple juice, Nicole caught sight of two peculiar figures near their car. 'Wait, what's up
with that?'
Nicole was perplexed at the sight of Cherry locking hands with a man, both of whom were smiling from ear to ear.

"What are you looking at?" Jared asked, noticing Nicole's fixation on the sight outside of the establishment.
"Oh, it's nothing," Nicole replied, before averting her gaze.
Though she was maintaining a calm facade, she was also feeling very conflicted.
She was in a dilemma as to whether she should inform Stanley about what she had just seen or not. If she did not
inform Stanley about Cherry, it would be difficult for Stanley to help her out if any issues arose. But if she told
Stanley, there was a possibility that the misunderstanding might worsen. Either way, further complications were
imminent; she was damned if she did, and damned if she did not.
After contemplating for a moment, Nicole made up her mind.
She sighed, regained her composure, and asked, "Are you ordering something to eat?"
"No. Let's eat when we get back home," Jared shook his head, having little to no interest in fast food.
"Sounds fine to me," Nicole replied, shrugging her shoulders.
She was fine with the idea of them eating back home.
The family got home after the kids had finished their lunch. Much to their surprise, however, there was no one in
the house.
"Where are my parents?" Nicole turned to the house butler and asked.
"Ms. Riddle?" the house butler greeted. "They said they went out for a walk. They might have gone to the Riddle
family manor."
"So, I suppose there's no lunch prepared, right?" Nicole asked.
To that, the house butler answered, "Yes, we have eaten. Therefore, we have not prepared anything for the others."
Knowing that everyone had eaten lunch, Nicole said, "It's fine, you can go about your work."
Once the butler had left, Nicole made a beeline to the kitchen and asked, "Since that's the case, should we have
some pasta? I'm thinking of whipping some Aglio Olio up for us. Simple and delicious."
"Sure thing," Jared replied.
He was not picky when it came to the food Nicole cooked.
After a short while, Nicole came out carrying two plates of pastas and headed to the dining room. "Come over for

Leaving Nolan and Lana in the living room to watch their television shows, Jared sauntered to the dining room.
Once seated, the couple started eating their simple yet delicious pasta. Though it was nothing to write home about,
they were both very content at the moment.
"Is the pasta to your liking?" Nicole smirked.
"It's great," Jared answered.
His gaze was gentle, and he further complimented her by taking a big bite.
"Hehe," Nicole chuckled, her voice carrying a sense of satisfaction.
For Nicole, her idea of happiness was as simple as this. All it would take was for Jared to love the little things she did
for him.
"The preparations for the wedding are done. We're just waiting for you to set the time," Jared notified her out of the
blue.
"What?!" Nicole asked, startled by Jared's sudden announcement.
She was so taken aback that she froze, with bits of pasta hanging from her mouth like whiskers on a catfish.
