"Fully fed and watered, nothing happened," Er leaned back in his seat, a slight smile ying on his


    lips.


    The assistant ventured, "He hasn''t discovered anything, has he?"


    "No, it doesn''t seem like he''s noticed anything yet," Er confidently stated. "He even warned me as he


    was leaving, giving me three days."


    "Three days, but what will he do after that?" the assistant inquired.


    Er shrugged. "Guess he''ll start threatening me then." Everett had only talked about wanting to


    coborate this time and hadn''t mentioned anything about the seal. Er could only continue to pretend


    he didn''t know the seal was missing and wait. In three days, when Everett shows up with the fake seal,


    Er ns to strip him of everything.


    Time flowed swiftly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Nicole and Jared arrived at the dining room as usual.


    "Mom, Dad," Nicole greeted before sitting down with Jared.


    "Daddy, Mommy," Nn and Lana sweetly called out to the two.


    Nicole, with eyes full of love, ruffled the little ones'' heads. "Let''s eat up. After that, Dad and Mommy will


    take you to kindergarten."


    Stanley and Tia had nned to take their prewedding photos today, so Nicole didn''t want to trouble Tia


    with dropping off the kids. She wanted them to head over early to get ready.


    "Okay,” Nn and Lana obediently began to eat.


    "Nicole, has thepany been keeping you busytely?" Gloria asked Nicole.


    Nicole replied, "It''s been okay. Mom, do you ask for a reason?"


    "Oh, if there''s nothing pressing, I was thinking maybe Steve doesn''t have to go to the office. Sally''s due


    date is approaching, and I''m worried if she suddenly goes intobor, Steve should be there with her,"


    Gloria exined.


    "Alright, I''ll discuss it with Sean and take over all of Steve''s work," Nicole agreed.


    The handover process had already been initiated, and Steve''s workload had significantly decreased.


    His departure now wouldn''t pose any problems.


    "That''s a relief," Gloria felt somewhat more at ease.


    Even though they had hired someone to look after Sally, and she would visit, having Steve by her side


    at this time was preferable.


    After all, no one could be by Sally''s side as constantly and supportively as Steve could.


    After breakfast, Nicole and Jared said their goodbyes and left with Nn and Lana.


    Stanley nced at the time and stood up. "Dad, Mom, I should be going too."


    "Alright, go ahead," Gloria responded with a smile.


    After picking up Tia, Stanley also left the Riddle residence for the prearranged location to take their


    prewedding photos.


    Back at home, Gloria breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, I can rx."


    With Stanley and Tia''s wedding ns set and Sally likely to give birth soon, she was about to be


    a grandmother.


    Seeing the children doing well, she could envision a future filled with joy and grandparental bliss.


    "You wont have to worry about the kids anymore," Daniel nced at Gloria. "How about we go on a


    world tour?"


    "I''m not going," Gloria immediately declined.

    Daniel was puzzled. "Why not?"


    "This is not the time for me to go anywhere. Stanley is about to have his wedding, and Sally is about to


    give birth. Of course, I can''t go anywhere," Gloria stated firmly.


    Daniel couldn''t help butugh. "Of course, I know that. What I meant was, after all these events are


    over, we should go out and rx a bit."
