Chapter 3033
Nicole’s expression showed her surprise as she asked, "Is this happening every day?" This was indeed
unexpected to Nicole. Eliar assisting Patricia with her treatment shouldn''t require such irregr hours.
She thought to herself, ''What could he possibly be involved in?''
Emma''s worry deepened at Nicole''s response, "You don''t know about it either?"
She felt that If Nicole was in the dark, it seemed unlikely anyone else knew. Er and Nicole had been
close since childhood, and it was unusual for him to keep things from her..
"I''ll have my people look into it." Nicole assured Dexter and Emma. She could see Dexter and Emma''s
growing concern. "If Er is in trouble, I''ll find a way to help." "Well... okay." Emma sighed, saying,
"Thank you for doing this." She understood the desire for privacy, recognizing that if the younger
generation chose not to share, they likely had their reasons.
"Try not to worry. I doubt it''s anything serious. If there were a real issue, Er wouldn''t be able to keep
it from me for long. He might just be going through a busy patch," Nicole reassured Emma, aiming to
ease her concerns.
Emma managed a smile, nodding in agreement. "I trust you''ll handle it well.
Gloria also offered words offort, "Don''t stress too much. The kids are adults now; they can
manage their affairs. And work issues are often out of our hands."
Dexter chimed in with a nod, "We understand we can''t do much, but it''s hard not to worry when you see
your child struggling."
Nicole offered a reassuring smile to Dexter. "Just give it a little more time.
Things might improve in a few days," she suggested optimistically.
In her mind, Nicole suspected that this situation had less to do with work and more with Patricia.
Perhaps Er found it difficult to stay away from
Patricia, choosing to distance himself while still keeping an eye on her from afar.
Stanley walked into the room, noticing the group. "Oh, you''re all here," he greeted Dexter and Emma
warmly.
"Just stopped by for a visit," Dexter responded, keeping the conversation light and steering away from
the topic of Er.
Then Daniel entered the room, adding, "Looks like everyone''s here. How about we sit down for
dinner?" "Sounds good," they all agreed, moving toward the dining room to settle in for the evening
meal.
After dinner, Dexter and Emma said their goodbyes and left. The family regrouped in the living room,
settling into afortable atmosphere.
Daniel told Nicole, "Please help with Er''s situation." "Sure, I got it," Nicole replied.
Curious, Lana, with her childlike innocence, asked, "Mommy, does Uncle Er have a girlfriend?"
Gloria, overhearing the question, chimed in with a slightly furrowed brow," Having a girlfriend doesn''t
exin his odd hours."
Both Gloria and Emma were clearly troubled, fearing that Er might be dealing with a problem he felt
unable to share with them. This concern had led Emma to approach Nicole, hoping that if anyone could
uncover the truth, it would be her. Nicole had always been someone Er trusted implicitly.
Nn, looking concerned, asked, "Then what''s going on with him?"
Nicole gently patted the heads of the kids, offering aforting smile." Don''t worry, we''ll figure it out.

Everything will be alright."
Stanley, piecing together the earlier conversation, realized Dexter and Emma''s visit was about E liar.
He reasoned that Ell ar, despite any current challenges, was resilient and things would eventually
improve.
The family continued to chat for a bit longer, enjoying each other''spany. After some time, Daniel
nced at the clock and suggested, "It''s gettingte. We should all head to bed." "Okay," came the
collective response, and they all made their way upstairs to retire for the night.
Meanwhile, Dexter and Emma had just gotten home and, by chance, ran into Er who was also
returning at that moment.
