"Oh, you're at home," Gloria was surprised when she saw Jared and Nicole walking down the flight of

stairs with the kids.

She waved to the kids and said, "Come to Grandma!"

"Grandma!" Nolan and Lana responded, and sprinted toward Gloria.

Nicole and Jared soon caught up and sat down on the couch next to Gloria. "Dad? Mom? Did you guys

visit Grandpa?"

"Yes, we just came back from his place. Your grandfather wanted to have dinner with us, but we've

declined his invitation. We wanted to come back and have dinner with you," Daniel explained.

"Is Grandpa alright?" Nicole asked with concern.

'He's fine. But it's taking quite some time for him to let go of things," Daniel sighed.

This was inevitable. Fortunately for them, Benjamin's current condition was relatively stable, which was

a relief to them.

"It will get better with time," Nicole reassured, knowing her parents were worried for Benjamin.

Fortunately, the old man had done his best to remain composed and rational. Although he was

understandably sad and disappointed, all these feelings would eventually pass.

"Oh, everyone's around," Stanley called out, startled to see everyone gathered in the living room.

"We just came back too," Gloria said. "Come on over. We're starting dinner soon."

"Okay," Stanley complied, though he felt a tad anxious as he had an inkling that this might be a setup

for a family meeting.

He sat down, ill at ease, at the dinner table without daring to make a noise. He was afraid of drawing

attention to himself and being interrogated about the news. To his surprise, however, no one asked him

about it. This perplexed him, and the silence only added to his unease.

Even during dinner, no one asked Stanley about the news, leaving him completely puzzled by the lack

of curiosity from his family. He was unnerved by their treatment of him even after he had returned to his

room for the night,

Sitting on the bed, Stanley began to ponder about the strangeness of the situation.

All of a sudden, he heard three knocks on the door, which startled him, as he knew there was no

escaping the conversation at this point.

"Come in," Stanley sighed, as he began to accept the inevitable.

The door swung open, revealing Nicole, who caught him by surprise. "Why are you here?"

"Who else would you want here?" Nicole retorted, rolling her eyes.

"I thought it was Mom," Stanley admitted.

Seeing that Stanley was visibly relaxed now, Nicole mockingly asked, "Feeling guilty much?"

"It's not that. I just don't know how to explain the situation to Mom," Stanley replied in defeat.

Then, Nicole sat down and solemnly asked, "Are there any problems between you and Cherry?"

"Huh?" Stanley asked in confusion. "Why would you say that? Oh my, what do you know!?"

After hearing what Nicole said, Stanley figured that she was already aware of his situation and was just

here to confirm it.

"I know a little, but I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing," Nicole replied, and looked him in

the eye,

Stanley paused, knowing that Nicole might indeed know something.

Not wanting to beat around the bush, Nicole revealed, "I saw Cherry with a dude earlier this afternoon.

They seemed to be as thick as thieves."

Nicole paused after telling him what she had seen; she knew Stanley would catch the drift.

"Ugh," Stanley sighed. "So you found out. Okay, how do I put this? Cherry actually has a boyfriend, but

her family disapproves of their relationship. They don't think he is up to par with her. Because of this,

they kept setting her up with other men. She has been rejecting every single one of them, until she met

me," Stanley explained, revealing the truth.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
