Chapter 2556
Nicole furrowed her eyebrows. 'I thought Stanley had genuine feelings for Tia, but he agreed to go on blind dates. Could it be that we all misunderstood his intentions before?'
Jared caressed Nicole's hair gently. "Don't think too much. He's not a child anymore. He can think for himself."
Nicole nodded, immediately understanding what Jared meant. No matter how much effort anyone put in, the final decision had to be made by Stanley himself.
When Nicole and Jared reached their room, Nicole massaged her shoulders, looking completely haggard.
Jared sat next to her with a concerned expression. "Has work been too hectic for you recently?"
'She looks so burnt out. Could it be the workload that's affecting her?' thought Jared.
"It's okay," said Nicole. She bit her lip hard trying not to show how stressful work was for her.
Jared gave her a massage, trying to help her unwind.
"Come, let's sleep,” said Jared with concern in his voice.
Eyes half closed, Nicole agreed. Jared looked over at Nicole and noticed she was already fast asleep. He glanced at her, feeling troubled at how helpless he was in the situation. He tucked the blanket over Nicole.
The next day, the sun was shining, and the Riddle family was already up.
Nicole and Jared were preparing to send the twins off to kindergarten but were unexpectedly warded off. They insisted on having Tia send them instead.
Nicole furrowed her eyebrows, staring at the twins blankly. She noticed the twins were avoiding eye contact with her. Immediately she knew that they were up to no good.
"No, no, it's okay," Tia refused, shaking her head. She loved
the twins. She would not mind this.
"I know you really want to help out and giving you some overtime pay is really no issue. So you have to accept it, no matter what," said Nicole with a smile.
"Come on. Let's go," Lana interrupted as she pulled Tia toward the door.
Tia followed behind the twins. TH talk to Ms. Nicole later,' she thought to herself.
After the twins had left, Nicole turned around and looked at Jared with raised eyebrows. "Are you helping them?"
"Yeah," Jared said coolly. He intertwined their hands together, walking out the front door and into the car.
