After sitting alone at the table for a while, the girl got up and bid farewell to them. "You're Stanley's
sisters and nephews, right?"
"Yes. Hello," Nicole politely responded.
"I have to leave now. Hopefully, we'll meet again someday," the girl said with forced composure.
"Bye," Nicole replied with a faint smile, nodding in acknowledgment.
Perhaps they would meet again in the future, but her relationship with Samuel would likely not progress
any further. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
The girl turned and walked away, appearing rather disappointed.
"Mommy, can we leave now?" Their mission was accomplished, so Nolan and Lana had lost interest in
shopping.
They had never been fond of shopping to begin with. Everything they did was for Stanley and Tia. Now
that there was nothing left to do, they obviously wanted to return home. Going home to enjoy the air
conditioning and some watermelon in this hot weather sounded much more appealing.
"We're leaving now?" Tia was a bit surprised to be heading home so soon.
"Yes, we're tired, and we want to go home and rest," Lana said, appearing exhausted.
Tia looked at Nicole. "Miss Nicole, Nolan and Lana are tired, so we should go home."
"Alright," Nicole agreed, well aware of the children's thoughts.
After a while, the group returned to the Riddle residence and found Stanley unexpectedly in the living
room, chatting with Gloria.
"Uncle Samuel, didn't you say you had something to do?
Why are you back?" Nolan asked as he walked in, his tone containing an air of interrogation.
"You're back," Gloria greeted them, pulling Nolan and Lana over. "How did you know Uncle Stanley had
something to do?"
"Just a moment ago..." Lana was about to mention encountering Stanley at the cafe when Nolan
interrupted and explained, "No, didn't you say Uncle Samuel had something to do today earlier this
morning?"
"Oh." Gloria had assumed they were referring to Stanley's blind date, so she did not think much of it.
She explained," Uncle Stanley has finished his business, so he's back."
Having said that, Gloria looked at Stanley and asked, "So, how did it go today?"
"Mom, I think we should forget about this whole thing."
Stanley finally gathered the courage to speak up. He regretted agreeing to the blind date.
However, Gloria misunderstood Stanley's meaning and said somewhat helplessly, "Since you're not
satisfied, we can arrange another one next time. The other girl is also very nice."
"Mom!" Stanley scratched his head in frustration.
"Mrs. Riddle, Miss Nicole, I'll take my leave now," said Tia.
Gloria looked at Tia and said, "It's almost noon. Just stay for lunch, Tia."
"It's okay, I'm going to see Mrs. Wallace Sr." Tia unconsciously clenched her hands, trying to keep
herself calm.
Hearing this, Gloria agreed, "Alright, then come over for dinner. Let Mrs. Wallace Sr. know, and we'll
have a meal together."
"I'll ask her when I get back, and if she's willing to come, we'll be there." Although Tia did not want to
go, she could not make the decision for Mrs. Wallace Sr.
"Okay, go ahead then." Gloria nodded gently.
"Yes, Mrs. Riddle." Tia lowered her head and turned to leave.
Watching Tia's departing figure, Stanley narrowed his eyes slightly and he sighed silently.
"Mom, I have something else to attend to. I'll be going." Stanley finally stood up and left quickly.
"Hey..." Gloria wanted to stop Stanley, but he had already left the hallway.
Shaking her head helplessly, Gloria muttered, "Is that a yes or a no?"
