My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2838

Chapter 2838

If he had just a little more courage, perhaps things would not have turned out this way. Fortunately, fate

had been kind to him, making it so that Tia was not the one who got away.

"Martin and I..." Tia gritted her teeth, beginning to understand what Stanley was talking about. "There's

nothing going on between us. I think he probably treated me well only because of Nicole."

She had never thought that Martin would like her, let alone consider the idea that Stanley might have a

crush on her. However, over the years, she came to learn that Stanley would always be there to help

and support her whenever she found herself in a rough spot. Perhaps that was how she gradually fell

for him.

But due to their obvious differences in status, she had never dared to reveal her true feelings to herself.

She believed that keeping them to herself was the best thing to do. However, that had only resulted in

the both of them just silently looking out for each other, with neither of them having the courage to

confess.

"Having said all that, are you finally going to be my girlfriend? " Stanley asked again, finally knowing

how Tia actually felt.

Tia bit her lip and lowered her head shyly, remaining silent and unresponsive. It was not that she did

not want to say yes, but she just could not utter a single word.

Noticing that, Stanley came up with an idea, in which he deliberately sighed and explained, "I don't

have much time left. If I don't get a girlfriend soon, my parents will set me up with someone else. By

then, I won't have the right to resist, no matter who that woman is and how compatible she is with me."

"You're going to get married?! Why the rush?” Tia immediately looked up in shock, her eyes wide and

her forehead creased in worry.

Why is Mrs. Riddle in such a rush to find him a partner and get him hitched? Does she not care about

who the girl is or about Stanley's feelings for the matter?' Tia wondered.

"Perhaps they think I'll never be able to find a girlfriend on my own." Stanley shrugged, seemingly

helpless and defeated.

"If you're not in a rush to get married now, I can be your girlfriend," Tia replied with a solemn look

etched on her face. "That way, Mrs. Riddle won't get to force you to marry someone you don't like."

Stanley then smirked. "So, that's a yes?" NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Tia blinked, and it was only then she realized that she had walked right into Stanley's trap. "You tricked

me!"

Overjoyed, Stanley hugged Tia again and said, ”1 didn't. Every word I said is true. You can ask my

mom about it tomorrow if you still have your doubts."

Although he had tricked her into revealing her true feelings, everything he had stated was true.

Besides, it would make no difference who he married should Tia not agree to be together with him. All

he would feel was misery and unhappiness.

"But Mrs. Riddle has never been as strict and conservative as you paint her out to be. Why would she

be in such a rush this time?" Tia was confused.

"None of that matters anymore. All that matters is that you're my girlfriend now," Stanley said, his eyes

brimming with affection.

After having waited for so long, Stanley finally had one of his greatest wishes fulfilled. Perhaps Cherry

was right in this regard - one must always fight for what they desire in life, and one should never leave

regrets in their life.

The next day, the sun rose, brilliant and warm, scattering its rays into the bedrooms of the Riddles.

After the family woke up, they gathered in the dining hall for breakfast.

While munching on a piece of toast, Gloria asked Stanley," Why did you have dinner at Mrs. Wallace

Sr's last night?"

Everyone had been waiting for Stanley, but he never returned. It was not until someone asked that they

discovered he was staying at Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s quarters for dinner, which came off to them as strange.

After a moment of hesitation, Stanley said, "The food over there looked really delicious, so I stuck

around."

"Uncle Stanley, did you find the food in great-grandma's place appetizing because Tia made it?" Lana

raised her head and asked.

Feeling a surge of embarrassment, Stanley shifted the subject with his brows raised and lips pursed.

"Hurry up and have your breakfast. You're going to school soon."
