Chapter 1819
"Tia, be careful. It''s hot!" Stanley gently alerted Tia to move aside. The caring look on Stanley''s face
made Nicole burst intoughter.
"Stanley is being so oddly gentle." Stanley, who was made fun of by Nicole, was embarrassed.
"Of course. Who would have the heart to let a girl do all these?"
Tia looked at Stanley and felt warm in her chest, but her mind kept wandering back to the person from
the hospital, ''It was a pity that person no longer appeared since then.''
Tia was really grateful for Stanley''s kindness, "Then let me help you with the seasoning."
"Sure," Stanley smiled at Tia''s help, not believing his ears.
Spencer had handed over the milk tea to June while Lulu passed over her pastries that were prepared
for June. The two of them giggled sweetly. Nicole could not help but wonder what her three brothers
were up to before noticing her mother was standing in a corner with a smile on her face. Mrs. Riddle
was asionally whispering a few words to Mrs. Wace Sr.
Nicole looked around before asking suspiciously, "Is Steve not here yet?"
"I''m not sure," Samuel said, "He said he often frequents the bar when he finished work at night. Maybe
he''s dining with a prettydy."

Spencer was afraid that their mother would catch on, "You bastard. Aren''t you scared that our mother
would hear this and give Steve an earful? If he knew you were going around talking about him like this,
he would definitely teach you a lesson."
At that moment, it was already toote for Samuel as he turned deadly silent when Steve walked in
drunkenly.
"Samuel, do you have a death wish going around talking about me like that?" Steve''s voice rang out
loudly.
Samuel was terrified, "I... I didn''t..."
"No?" Steve snorted, "Do you think I am deaf?"
At this time, Gloria noticed the tipsy Steve, "Steve, have you been drinking? You haven''t reached home
and you''re already drunk?"
Steve replied awkwardly, "Yes..."
Gloria frowned, "You haven''t taken your dinner and you''re already out drinking?"
Steve scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Drinking can help one muster up some courage..."
When Nicole heard this, she interrupted him, "Why do you still need to muster up the courage? Why do
you still need alcohol to help you be brave when you are brave enough to do everything?"
Steve went silent for a moment and stared at the door. Spencer and Samuel were silent too. Nicole
turned her head to the doorway they were looking at and ady was standing there in a blue dress.
She looked extremely gentle and beautiful.
The awkward silence that filled the room made Nicole realize that her entire family seemed to know
her.
"Sally?!" Gloria eximed in surprise. The girl named Sally was a little embarrassed, but she still
approached Gloria with a smile.
"Hello, Mrs. Riddle."
"It''s been such a long time. Have you returned for good?" Gloria looked at Sally dotingly.
Sally nodded gently, "Yes, I''ve been back for a while now..." Sally had also been wondering whether or
not to get back into contact with Steve now that she had returned. Considering the years Sally had
spent abroad and how they have lost touch with one another, Sally had not expected Steve to reach
out to her today and asked her to attend his family''s banquet. Sally was taken aback and hesitant as
they were no longer lovers.
"It''s good that you''re back. Come sit down quickly and let me take a good look at you," Gloria pulled
Sally toward the sofa to sit down before beginning to talk about family matters.
Nicole could not help but nce at Steve and said, "Steve, you really hit the jackpot this time. Others
brought theirpanions but, you... you brought back a beauty."
It was at that moment Nicole understood what Samuel had meant when he said that Steve would not
go out with the same woman twice.
