My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2820

Chapter 2820

While waiting for Tia to pick the kids up, Stanley glanced at Tia from the back, his gaze strained and

intense.

"We're done eating breakfast. What other excuses do you have now?" Gloria questioned Stanley with a

dour look on her face.

"Alright Mom and Dad." Stanley put on a more serious look." This is what actually happened..."

After narrating the entire story to Gloria and Daniel, Stanley felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders at

an instant. Now that he had finally gotten it out of his chest, the family would no longer pester him

about Cherry anymore.

"So, your relationship with Cherry has all been an act?" Gloria choked.

"Yes." Stanley nodded and apologized. "I'm sorry. I'm afraid I've let you down."

"But, how are you going to explain this to the Jean family, then?" Gloria asked, becoming worried sick.

She always thought that Stanley was a well-behaved child. The fact that he would engage in something

so questionable was something Gloria could not comprehend.

"We'll have to see what the family's attitude toward this is." Stanley continued, knowing that it was not

appropriate for him to deceive the Jean family by conspiring with Cherry.

Therefore, he had created a plan in advance to address the fallout. When the time came, he would take

all the blame from the Jean family and remain silent.

"Oh boy." Daniel sighed. "What if the Jean family chooses not to forgive him?"

"Mom? Dad? Stanley is not the only one at fault here. Think about it. Cherry is in on this as well, so

they can't just pin all the blame on him." Nicole chimed in to comfort Daniel and Gloria.

Ultimately, Cherry had fled the country without her family's knowledge. At most, Stanley was just an

insider or an accomplice. He was not the one who had sent her away. While the Jean family's anger

would be understandable, there would be a limit to how livid they would be, and how much blame they

could pin on him.

"But..." Gloria looked at Nicole, struggling to find something to say.

But before she could, Nicole smiled and comforted her," Things have happened. We can't change

anything, so we might as well focus on what we can do.”

Moreover, it was an agreement which Cherry and Stanley were party to. Their relationship had never

existed to begin with. It was all just a show. Even if Cherry had remained in the country, there was no

chance in hell they would both get together.

"I think it's best if I pay the Jean family a visit soon." Daniel sighed. "I'm sure they know the entire story

already. We

should go over there to show our concern and explain ourselves."

"No Dad, let me handle this on my own." Stanley requested.

"Forget it. It's easier for me to persuade them as compared to you." Daniel shook his head.

He felt that it was better for the patriarch of the family to show up as the representative and meet the

Jean family.

Stanley, who did not want Daniel to be roped into this, was about to insist on his position, but before he

could, Nicole stopped him and shook her head.

Then, she turned to look at Daniel and suggested, "Dad, if they're still unhappy about this entire fiasco,

you may suggest a business collaboration as a compensation."

"That's not right. We can't drag the company in to settle a personal score." Stanley immediately

declined.

He could not believe that Nicole would even suggest such a thing.

"Don't worry. It will be a partnership that benefits both parties. We will not conduct any business at a

loss." Nicole smiled and cheered Stanley up.

"That's right. Do you think we have no standards?" Daniel asserted in a rare display of

authoritativeness.

Seeing that his family had already decided on what to do, Stanley could only accept their suggestion.

"Alright then."

"So, you and Cherry were never an item. So, your girlfriend is..." Gloria asked, attempting to probe for

an answer from Stanley.

If Cherry was his fake girlfriend, that would mean that Stanley was still single. And if he was, there was

a possibility that Gloria would have to set him up on more blind dates.

During the previous round, the blind dates were set up together with Emery. And now, Emery was mere

weeks away from getting married while Stanley had gotten himself involved in such a huge mess. He

was single and alone once again. With all things considered, it was impossible for his family to not be

worried about him.

"I have a girlfriend. I'll introduce her to all of you very soon." Stanley stood up.

Then, he looked at Gloria, solemn and unsmiling. "Mom, I got this. You don't have to worry about me."

"You have a girlfriend? Since when?" Gloria asked, experiencing another shock of her life.

'How did I not know about this?' she wondered.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
