"Your mom is still fast asleep. I'll send you to school later," Jared explained.
"You will send us to kindergarten later?" Nolan asked, blinking his eyes in innocence.
"Oh yeah, where's Tia, by the way?" Lana asked, finding it confusing that Jared would be the one sending them to
school.
"Tia hurt her ankle, so she won't be able to send you to kindergarten for the next two days," Stanley's voice blared
out in reply.
"Tia got hurt? Is it serious? Is she alright? How did you know? " The two little ones asked, bombarding Stanley with
question after question.
They were both worried and curious. They also could not help but wonder how Stanley had gotten to know so much
about what Tia was going through.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Her injury is not a serious one, but she does need some rest. I was the one who brought her back home last night,
so I'm aware of her condition," Stanley calmly explained as he headed to the dining room.
"Oh," Lana nodded, whereupon she turned to Jared. "Dad, can we go and visit Tia?"
"Let's eat and get you to kindergarten first. We can visit Tia
after school," Jared advised.
"Okay," Nolan and Lana agreed upon noticing what time it already was.
After the family had breakfast, Jared left the house with Nolan and Lana.
Stanley was also about to leave, but before he could, Gloria stopped him. "About yesterday, is no one going to
explain anything to me?"
"What explanation?" Stanley looked a bit bewildered. "Didn't Nicole tell you?"
"She only said you two had dinner outside, but she didn't say anything else," Gloria replied while frowning. "I asked
you to bring Cherry home for dinner, but you've arranged a meeting outside instead. What's going on?"
Although Nicole had reassured Gloria that everything was fine, she could still feel that something was off. She had a
sneaking suspicion that Stanley might be avoiding her on purpose and did not have the guts to tell her the truth.
That was why he had gotten Nicole to talk to her instead, as he knew that Nicole did not have the heart to decline
such a request from him.
'Mom, please just give me two more days. I'll definitely explain everything to you later," Stanley calmly requested,
realizing that he would not be able to avoid telling Gloria about his situation with Cherry any longer.
However, he just could not tell Gloria the truth yet. He had to wait for two more days until had safely left the
country
before he could.
Upon hearing this, Gloria grew dour and stern. "I knew it. I knew something was up."
"Mom, it's not as bad as you think. I can't say it now, but I promise, I am not, and won't be single," Stanley solemnly
assured.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFollowing that statement, Gloria rolled her eyes at him." Hmm, I hope you can keep that promise, young man."
"Don’t worry. When have I ever lied to you? Okay, look. If I break my promise this time, you can arrange a wedding
for me. You get to pick the person you're satisfied with, so long as they're willing to marry me," Stanley said in an
attempt to assuage Gloria's suspicions.
However, Gloria was already very unhappy with Stanley due to how little regard he had for his love life. 'How could I
bear to consign him to a lifetime of unhappiness? If the person he's married to isn't the one he is in love with, how
could he be happy?'
"Well, let's wait for a couple more days before we talk about it," Daniel interrupted, easing the atmosphere.
"Mom. Dad. Don't worry. I won't put you in a situation where you'll have to constantly worry about me," Stanley
assured.
He then nodded to his parents and skedaddled.
"Gosh, this child." Gloria sighed in exasperation.
" Pipe down. Stanley has been doing fine without our intervention for all these years. I'm sure he can handle his
