My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2842

Chapter 2842

There were so many family members present that there was not even enough space for everyone on

the couch to sit on. Meanwhile, Nolan and Lana were clamoring to play outside, forcing Lulu and June

to take them to the courtyard, with Samuel and Spencer following them.

As Sally was pregnant, Steve was worried that she might experience bouts of exhaustion, so he got her

to relax and reserved the most spacious seat for her. Sally then sat down, holding hands with Jane. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Ah, would you just look at how sweet the couples are and how close the siblings are? It's truly a sight

for sore eyes. I just hope that Emery's and Ellar's families will be the same when they get married."

Emma sighed.

"Don't worry. It will," Gloria assured.

"Hey, Aunt Emma. Why aren't Emery and Ellar here?" Sean asked.

"Emery's girlfriend has an assignment abroad, so Emery has flown off to accompany her. As for Ellar,

he is on a business trip and hasn't returned yet."

"Oh, I see." Sean nodded, having asked the question at random.

Everyone knew Emery's girlfriend was a flight attendant, so Emery would not be able to get her to

come if she had to work.

"Hey, Aunt Emma, is it true that Emery is preparing for the wedding?" Steve asked.

Emma smiled. "Yes, and that's the reason why I've called everyone here."

After she had spoken, Emma glanced over at Dexter, who turned to look at Benjamin. "Dad? This is the

good news I mentioned."

"Right! That is indeed good news.” Mr. Riddle Sr. smiled.

"Dexter? Emma? Congratulations to the both of you!" Karen said.

Although she was feeling a little bitter and resentful, she knew she had to be cordial and friendly to

them. Watching the children of Daniel's and Dexter's families all settle down had made her very

anxious for Preston, as her son had made no progress in the relationship department.

"Come on, Aunt Emma. Give me a break." Preston's voice blared out, causing everyone to turn and

stare at the entrance.

"Why are you here? I thought you wouldn't show up!" Karen complained the instant she saw Preston.

Hearing that, Preston proceeded to explain, "There was a sudden problem at the company, so I got a

little occupied."

"Good evening, Grandpa," Preston greeted as he approached his grandfather who was seated at the

living hall.

After shooting Preston a glance, Benjamin declared, "Now that everyone is here, let's have dinner."

"Alright. Time to eat." Dillion stepped forward to help his father up.

"I'll go and call the others," Jane said, heading out to inform Lulu and the others that dinner had already

started.

Soon, the entire family sat down for dinner. It was a rare occasion, and everyone was in a good mood,

chatting and laughing while enjoying their dinner.

Nicole was well aware of how delicate the situation was, so she did not participate in any family

discussions that might be controversial, such as Emery's engagement to his girlfriend, Ellar's business

trip, and Stanley's love life.

Stanley had also shown up on his own without bringing Tia with him. Nicole had no idea what Stanley

was up to, but she believed that he must have his own reasons for not bringing Tia here with him today.

She believed he would never allow himself to subject Tia to any feelings of anxiety and discomfort.

Behind his act of not taking Tia here today and explaining the truth of his relationship with her was a

solid reason Nicole would soon come to learn.

"What are you thinking about?" Jared gently asked Nicole.

Nicole raised her head and smiled at Jared. "Nothing, I just feel that it's rare to have such moments of

peace."

Whenever she returned here in the past, there would always be grievances and problems to be

addressed, making everyone dread the idea of even coming here. Today, however, she could finally

engage in casual conversation with her family without any complications.
