Chapter 2775


    Tia nked out and froze when she felt a warm sensation on her.


    Once Stanley had checked Tia’s temperature and confirmed that she was not sick, he frowned and


    asked, “Are you feeling ufortable anywhere else?”


    Tia’s temperature was normal, but she did not lookfortable at all in Stanley’s eyes.


    “Tia?” Stanley called out to her again when he did not get a response the first time.


    ‘Em, huh?” Tia snapped out of it and looked at him.


    What the both of them failed to realize was that their faces were inches away from one another, and as


    expected, Tia’s lips identally grazed Stanley’s cheeks.


    Shocked by what she just did, Tia backed off and shivered as her mind erupted into chaos. Stanley,


    who did not see thising at all, was also left in a daze.


    The atmosphere in the car became even more awkward than ever, but then, there was also a sexual


    tension that was not there before.


    “Ugh.” Stanley coughed, being the first to snap out of his stupor.


    He then repositioned himself and said, “Let’s go home.”


    “Yeah,” Tia replied softly, overwhelmed by feelings of nervousness and embarrassment.


    Stanley remained uneasy as his mind repeated the shback of the scene that had just urred.


    Throughout the journey, neither of them uttered another word, and returned home in total silence.


    After they had arrived, Tia murmured, “Bye. I’ll head in first.”


    Tia then rushed to the back of the house, breaking into a sprint halfway through.


    Stanley got out of the car as well, and he unconsciously lifted his hand up to his cheek as he watched


    Tia disappear into the house.


    Tia was drowning in embarrassment, and her mind just would not let up on the incident when she


    returned to her room. ‘How could I be so dumb!? Why did I even do that? How awkward is it going to


    be the next time I see him!?’ Overwhelmed with shame, Tia tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.


    Clearly, a restful night was out of the question for Tia. However the same could be said for Stanley, who


    was also having a hard time trying to fall asleep.


    The courtyard lit up with the beams from the headlights as Nicole returned home. After parking the car,


    Nicole got out, giving Patricia the go-ahead to leave.


    “Come to think of it, I should return home. Bye, Nicole. I’m not staying here tonight,” Er informed.


    Knowing that Er had other intentions, she raised her brows.


    “Rest well, Nicole. Don’t worry, I’ll send Patricia back safely,” Er said without looking at her.


    This prompted Nicole to roll her eyes at him. “Are you sure you’d like to send her back?”


    “Yep, I’m going straight to her house,” Er said confidently.


    Unable to put up with his crap any longer, Patricia shouted,” Quit it with your nonsense! There’s no way


    you’re going to my house!”


    “Ugh,” he groaned, his confidence waning in an instant.” What I meant was, I’ll drop by your ce first.


    I’ll take a cab back home after I’ve made sure you’re back home safely.”


    Patricia was annoyed and strongly suspected that Er was irritating her on purpose.


    “Nicole, you should head back to rest,” Er reminded her. He then directed Patricia, “Let’s go.”


    Gnashing her teeth, Patricia red at Er before she brought the engine to life.


    She mentally swore to herself that this would be herst meeting with Er, as she never wanted to see


    him again.


    And upon noticing that the car was speeding off faster than usual, Nicole began to hope for the best.


    Patricia seemed to be in a bad mood, and that was something Er should definitely brace himself for.

    Then, she turned back, entered her house, and got into her room.


    “You’re back,” Jared, who was at the desk with hisputer, remarked upon noticing her return.


    “Why are you not asleep yet?” Nicole asked, and approached him.


    “I was waiting for you.” Jared pulled her into his arms.
