Chapter 2890


    Helpless and moved, Patricia massaged her temples and said, "Er, you really don''t need to waste


    your time on me.With your qualities, getting yourself a girlfriend should be a piece of cake."


    "But you''re the only person I want to be with.If I can''t be with you, I''d rather remain single forever!"


    Er stated firmly, his eyes burning with passion and unyielding persistence.


    Unable to meet Er''s gaze, Patricia blinked and looked away from him.


    She had taken care of him at BayCorp for some time now, connoting that she was notpletely


    indifferent to Er.


    However, she also understood that certain things in life were destined to be impossible, with the


    prospect of getting together with Er being one of them, so she dared not lead him on and give him


    any hope.


    Gritting her teeth, Patricia continued to feign indifference.


    * That''s your business.It has nothing to do with me."


    After saying that, she picked another file up and ignored Er.


    Er looked at Patricia, his eyes wet and heavy in disappointment.


    At this rate, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Alright then.I won''t get in the way of your work.I''ll


    come over to see you again after six."


    Patricia''s lips began twitching fiercely, but as she was determined not to dignify his words with a


    response of her own, she remained silent and continued to ignore him.


    ‘Can''t he see that I''m deliberately keeping my distance from him? Yet, he still had the gall to say he will


    come over to pick me up after work.What a pain in the rear!’ she fumed.Er walked away, turning back


    every time he took a step, and once he was out of the door, Patricia finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    ‘Whatever the case is, at least he is gone for now.’ Shaking her head, Patricia returned to the tasks at


    hand..


    As dusk fell, Nicole and Jared returned to the Riddle residence.


    A look of puzzlement crossed Nicole''s face the moment she saw a bunch of construction workers


    leaving, prompting her to ask, "Mom, what are they doing?"


    "The renovation is in order.We''re preparing Stanley''s room so that it''ll be fit for two."


    Gloria replied, telling Nicole that everything that had been happening was a matter of course.


    Taken aback by what her mother just said, Nicole asked, "Are they getting married already?"


    ‘Didn''t they say they wanted to wait for some time, and that there was no rush for them to get married?’


    she wondered.


    "We''re preparing in advance," Gloria replied.


    "They''ll get to decide when they wish to get married."


    Nicole sighed in confusion.


    "Well, where will Stanley be sleeping, then?"


    "In Samuel and Spencer''s old room.He can choose whichever room he wants to spend his nights


    in.Anyway, his current room will be renovated.He won''t be going back there until he gets married,"


    Gloria exined with a tinge of amusement in her voice.


    "Mom, we are your married sons.Are we kicked out of the house already?"


    Samuel, who just so happened to walk in, joked.


    Shaking her head, Gloria nced over at him and retorted, "You have your own ce, don''t you?"


    "Alright, I get it.I mean, you urged us to get married, but once we did, you just refused to give us the


    same amount of attention.This hasn''t escaped my notice.If I had known this, we would have dyed


    our marriage."


    Samuel shrugged, pretending to be hurt.

    "If you had dyed your marriage, I wouldn''t have been pressured into getting married either,"Stanley,


    who had juste in, retorted.


    "Hey now.That''s your problem.Don''t pin the me on me,"


    Samuel barked back.


    ring at the bickering siblings, Gloria scolded them, "Why are you all back today? And what''s with all


    the fighting the moment you entered the house?"


    "We heard there''s good news at home, so we came over to have a look." Samuel smiled.


    The others arrived one after another, and once they were all here, they exchanged nces.


    "Where''s Tia?"


    "She''s at the back," Stanley replied.


    "Wait, you were the one who took them home, so where are the two little ones?" Lulu asked in


    confusion.


    Even if Tia had returned to the house at the back where Mrs.Wace Sr. resided, Nn and Lana


    should have returned by now.
