Chapter 2285


    Tia bit her lip lightly, took a deep breath, and attempted to suppress her nerves as she followed slowly


    from behind.


    After getting into the car, Tia kept her head down, feeling like a helpless child who had done something


    wrong.

    “Is your foot feeling okay?” Stanley asked in a bid to take her attention away from the matter, making


    her understand that what happened earlier was just an ident. He could not simply ignore her when


    she was on the verge of falling.


    “It’s fine,” Tia moderated her tone, hoping it did not sound strange.


    “You should visit a doctor if it hurts. Don’t take it lightly,” Stanley reminded her, worried that she might


    have injured her ankle.


    Tia nodded. “I know, Mr. Stanley.”


    He did not like being called Mr. Stanley, but she had never changed her way of addressing him over the


    years. With this in mind, he issued a mental sigh and shook his head.


    Putting his thoughts aside, Stanley continued driving to the Riddle residence while Tia sat quietly.


    Though she appeared calm, her mind was in total chaos.


    The scene from earlier would not stop reying in her mind, and the memory of her being in his


    embrace made her heart race uncontrobly.


    Feeling more nervous as she thought about it, Tia buried her head and avoided looking at Stanley.


    Noticing her movements, Stanley furrowed his brow slightly, though he acted as if he had seen nothing,


    focusing on his driving instead. He did not want things to be awkward between them, so he


    decided to give her more space.


    Arriving at the Riddle residence, Stanley tly said, “We’re here. Let’s go.”


    “Okay,” Tia replied softly.


    She then opened the door and headed straight to the backyard.


    Watching her scrambling away, Stanley let out another sigh and walked into the house.


    “Why are you sote, Uncle Stanley? Where’s Aunt Tia?” Lana asked in curiosity, blinking as she


    looked outside.


    “She went to the backyard,” Stanley replied calmly.


    “Huh?” Lana blinked her eyes, feeling a little puzzled. ‘Can’t they go to the backyard from here? Why


    did Aunt Tia go all the way from the front yard, which is even further away?’


    “Nn, Lana, it’s time for you to go to bed,” Nicole said, interrupting Lana’s curiosity.


    Although Nicole did not know what happened, she knew that something must have transpired after they


    had left.


    ncing at Stanley and seeing that he seemed normal, Nicole decided not to query him and


    proceeded to lead


    Nn and Lana upstairs.


    With everyone gone, Gloria asked, “Stanley, how is Samuel doing?”


    “Samuel and June will probably prepare for the wedding once he haspleted his recovery. Mom,


    you can start nning the wedding with some peace of mind,” Stanley informed, easing her worries.


    Delighted, Gloria smiled and said, “I’ll visit them tomorrow and ask June if she has any ideas for the


    wedding. We can’t just disregard her opinions about this, even though she doesn’t have a family of her


    own.”


    Gloria was relieved now that everything was settled. She would focus on preparing for the wedding.


    Even though June did not have any family, Gloria did not want her to feel as if she was being left out,


    so she would go ahead and take care of both their guest lists.


    “I’ll go with you just to make it more formal,” Daniel suggested.


    “Okay, we’ll go there together. After everything has been finalized, we can also inform father to make


    him happier.” Gloria added, having already begun on the nning.


    Daniel smiled gently. “Aw, my wife is just so thoughtful.”


    He had not thought about telling Mr. Riddle Sr. yet. This was indeed a joyous asion, and he should


    inform his father about it.


    Soon, the Riddle residence quieted down as everyone went


    to rest. Nicoleforted Nn and Lana before returning to her room.
