Chapter 2641


    It wasmon knowledge that the coboration was definitely going to happen, but it left her


    questioning if there really was a need for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.


    “Should we attend?” Patricia hesitantly asked.


    It was evident that Nicole disliked attending such events, but since Harvey had already spread the


    news and invited a multitude of business magnates from all over San Joto, they had no choice but to


    go.


    “Let’s go,” Nicole’s gaze darkened slightly.


    At this point, they had little choice but to show up.


    “Then I’ll get ready,” Patricia replied.


    Nicole nodded in agreement, and then, Patricia strode out of the office.


    Leaning back against his chair, Nicole looked at the documents Harvey had sent her as she became


    lost in thought.


    Soon after, night fell, and the city lights began to glow.


    As usual, everyone in the Riddle residence gathered together for dinner at the dining hall.


    Everyone had already heard about Chloe’s situation, but they were neither worried nor curious about


    the entire situation, seeing that Nicole was indifferent to it all.


    “Samuel and Spencer have been gone for half a month, right? The house feels a little empty without


    them,” Gloriamented as she saw that only a few of her kids were left.


    “Mom, they won’t stay here even after they’vee back,” Stanley said, reminding Gloria that they had


    to get used to it.


    “But still, it would be nice for them toe back and liven things up from time to time.” Gloria replied,


    knowing full well what was going to happen.


    Besides, she was not expecting the house to be lively every day; she was just hoping that they would


    visit asionally.

    “That’sing soon.


    They’ll be back in half a month,” Stanley said.


    “Oh, right, aren’t you two preparing for the wedding? How is it going?” Gloria turned her gaze to Nicole


    and Jared.


    When Stanley heard that, his lips twitched.


    “Mom, do you want them to go on their honeymoon too? The house will be even emptier.” ‘Why is she


    whining about having an empty house whilst urging Nicole to get married at the same time?’ he


    wondered.


    Gloria gave Stanley a displeased look.


    “I was just asking.” She would be thrilled if Nicole and Jared had truly decided to get married as she


    had been waiting for this moment for a long time.


    “We’re making preparations,” Nicole replied, looking at Gloria.


    “Mom, you don’t need to worry about us now.


    You should instead focus on Sally.” “Yeah, Sally needs plenty of care right now,” Stanley echoed, eager


    to support Nicole.


    “I just went to see her today, and she’s doing well,” Gloria said, grinning ear to ear as she mentioned


    Sally’s pregnancy.


    The family then went on to chat, eat, and enjoy a rare moment of tranquility and joy.


    After dinner, they all gathered in the living room, munching on fruits and desserts.


    “Grandma, tomorrow is a free day.


    Is Uncle Stanley going on a date?” Lana asked, tilting her head.


    “Yes, how did you know, Lana?” Gloria asked, smiling.


    “I heard it from you,” Lana said proudly.


    “My memory is the best!” Gloria lovingly patted Lana’s head.


    “Aw, my Lana is the smartest.” “Can we go with Uncle Stanley?” Lana snuggled into Gloria’s arms


    adorably.


    Gloria, however, was rather hesitant on letting them in on it.” That’ll be pretty inconvenient.


    Uncle Stanley has things to do.


    It ‘How could he focus on the date if he has to look after Lana and Nn?’ she thought.


    Stanley, however, was quite excited.


    “Why, of course, Lana.


    Come along.


    It’s not inconvenient for me at all.” He did not want to go in the first ce; he was simply forced to do


    so.


    It would be great if Nn and Lana could follow him around.


    He would just show his face, then use Nn and Lana as an excuse to hightail it out of there.
