Chapter 2779


    If that was not the situation, the kids could only wonder why Stanley would bring Tia homest night


    “Don’t overthink it! I swear! Nothing happened yesterday,” Tia insisted.


    The more they exined, the moreplicated the situation became, and at this rate, the kids were


    proving to be quite a handful.


    “Tia, I think you should keep your distance from Uncle Stanley. Why don’t you try to make friends with


    the people Aunt June introduced?” Nn advised.


    He had no choice but to say what he said because he did not want the people he cared about to get


    hurt.


    “Actually, we really hoped that you would give Uncle Stanley a chance. We’ve even helped him in


    secret many times, but sadly. Ugh! Sadly, things just aren’t working out,” Lana sighed, her speech and


    mannerism mirroring that of an adult.


    They had initially thought that Stanley and Tia would be a good match.


    Unfortunately, fate had other ns, and there was nothing they could do to force it.


    Tia’s lips twitched. She was inplete disbelief of what the kids were thinking about these days.


    “I’ll warn Uncle Stanley tonight. His behavior will only hurt you and Cherry,”


    Nn shook his head, looking distressed now.


    Tia was speechless at the kids’ words. They really thought they were thinking ahead of time.


    ” Tia,” Lana was about to continue, but was stopped when Tia covered her mouth.


    If the kids continued to talk, she and Stanley would be the scapegoats of the family.


    “Erm, you guys misunderstood the situation,” Tia exined.” I didn’t want to join the others in the


    karaoke. That was why we came home earlier yesterday.”


    Tia figured that this was herst ditch effort to rify her situation to the kids.


    The simpler the exnation was, the easier it would be for them to understand.


    “Then?” Lana asked, eager for more details.


    “Then we came back to get some sleep. I got a headache from the alcohol, so I didn’t manage to rest


    wellst night,” Tia came up with an excuse, and med the booze.


    “Oh,” Nn and Lana breathed their sighs of relief in unison.


    At longst, they had gotten the reassurance they were looking for.


    Tia was much more at ease afterforting the two kids. If they continued on with their imagination,


    there would be no limit to where the story would end.


    And once she had dropped the kids off at kindergarten, she loosened up. She gently patted her


    cheeks, frustrated at how difficult it would be for her to interact with Stanley in the future. She did not


    know how to face him, and even the kids could already tell. On top of that, she was sure that other


    people had also noticed their unusual behavior.


    Meanwhile, Nicole had just reached Riddle Corporation.


    As soon as she stepped into her office, Lulu approached her with an eager look:


    one which indicated her desire to gossip.


    “So, how did it go?” Lulu asked before shing Nicole a meaningful smile.


    She was expecting Stanley and Tia to have made some degree of progress.


    “No idea,” Nicole shook her head, feeling that something was off. “They’re acting weird. During


    breakfast, they seemed even more distant than usual.”


    Nicole shared the story with Lulu, and said, “It’s better to let them handle it.”


    Nicole found their situation strange, as Stanley and Tia did not seem to have any major issues with one


    another.


    Perhaps something had really happened to themst night. The only other possibility was that they


    were waiting for the perfect time.


    “Oh,” Lulu replied. “Fine. I wish them all the best.”

    “Oh, and by the way.” Lulu smirked and ced the file down. “It’s done.”


    “Nicole raised an eyebrow, intrigued by what Lulu had aplished. “That went smoothly.”
