Chapter 3089


    "Back already?" Daniel and Gloria beamed with affection at their grandchildren.


    Nicole and Jared took their seats, exining, "We had some free time today, so we decided to pick


    them up.”


    "It''s good to see you both have the energy to do that. It seems like Riddle Corporation must be doing


    alright now," Daniel remarked, relieved.


    The past few days had been hectic for both Nicole and Jared, but now that they had some time to


    rx, it seemed like their problems had been resolved.


    "Yes, now we''re just waiting for the penalty notice for NandoCorp," Nicole said calmly, with a smile.


    Gloria responded with a hint of resignation, "Let the penaltye if it must, as long as the issue is


    resolved."


    "Mom, actually, the penalty is a good thing," Nicole reassured her with a smile.


    "I might not be involved in thepany matters, and I really don''t understand, but how can a penalty


    be a good thing?" Gloria asked, frowning slightly in confusion.


    "Let''s not talk about work now. You don''t understand these things, and you won’t believe the children


    when they say it''s alright," Daniel intervened, suggesting they drop the subject now that work was over


    to give everyone a break.


    "You were the one who asked just now," Gloria couldn''t help but give Daniel a yful look.


    "Alright, my fault. Let''s all not ask anymore," Daniel quickly conceded.


    Laughter filled the living room, soon followed by a curious voice, "What''s going on? Why the good


    mood?"


    They turned to see Stanley entering.


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    "Nothing much, just chatting," Daniel greeted Stanley. "Now that you''re here, let''s have dinner."


    "Oh, okay," Stanley replied, not pressing further.


    With the recent tension over Riddle Corporation''s affairs affecting the household atmosphere, the


    lighter mood now was a wee change.


    Once they arrived at the dining hall, dinner was quickly served.


    "Nicole, Nn and Lana''s birthdays areing up, right? Your dad and I were thinking, how about we


    throw a cozy birthday party at home? What do you think?" Gloria asked Nicole.


    Considering the approaching date, if they were to hold a party, decisions and preparations needed to


    start promptly.


    "Well... I''ll ask Nn and Lana what they think," Nicole hesitated for a moment. "They mentioned


    wanting to go to the amusement park a few days ago, and I thought of taking them there."


    "We can have the party in the evening, just a small celebration with the family. During the day, if you


    want to take them to the amusement park, that will fulfill their wish," Gloria added.


    "That sounds good," Jared agreed.


    "Then it''s settled," Daniel chimed in.


    With Jared’s agreement, Nicole wouldn''t object.


    "Alright, let''s go with what Mom and Dad suggest," Nicole concurred.


    Stanley paused for a moment before saying, "In that case, I need to think about what kind of birthday


    gifts to prepare for Nn and Lana."


    After enjoying a dinner filled withughter and conversation, Gloria spoke up, "We''ll handle the party


    preparations."


    "Mom, you can also ask Tia to help you," Stanley reminded Gloria.


    "Sure, I''ll call her," Gloria happily agreed.


    With everyone else busy, it seemed Tia was the only one avable to help, and given her close


    rtionship with Nn and Lana, she understood the children''s preferences well.


    Nicole nodded in agreement. "On their birthday, we''ll take Nn and Lana to the amusement park, and


    we''ll return in the afternoon so we won''t miss the evening party."


    Good, but make sure the kids have a fun time," Gloria advised.
