Chapter 2646
To that, Nolan replied, "Yes, we originally wanted Tia to take us there, but then Ms. Jean said she wanted to go too, so she came along with us."
Gloria quickly imagined how Cherry had doted on Nolan and Lana, leading them to become even more fond of her.
'It seems that Cherry really likes children, so Nolan and Lana might just have one more person to love them, which is great,' she thought.
"Stanley, come here and tell me, how was it today?" Gloria asked, almost starting to see Cherry as her future daughter- in-law and was eager to hear Stanley's opinion.
Stanley, feeling a headache, ran fingers through his hair and said, "Mom, I'm tired. I’m going to get some sleep."
And after he had spoken, Stanley hurried up to his room
"Look at him, acting all shy." Gloria became even more elated, feeling that this issue was basically settled.
Stanley, however, just could not be bothered to explain anything to Gloria. Although Cherry had spent the entire day with them, he did not feel much for her. He also felt that Cherry did not seem to harbor any romantic feelings for him. The setting and the circumstances surrounding the both of them were the only factors that had enabled them to relax around one another, so he considered them friends, at most.
Clearly, his family did not see it that way. He also felt that since they had misunderstood everything that had transpired today, he would just let things be.
Maybe they won't urge me to go on blind dates anymore. That way, I don't have to deal with all that incessant nagging, ' he thought.
"Mom, let Stanley decide for himself," Nicole said meaningfully, looking at the general direction where Stanley had disappeared.
"If he could settle down earlier, I'd be able to be at ease at long last," Gloria said.
At least he did not disappoint her this time. 'There is progress between the two, isn't there? Well, that's good enough for me.'
Nicole shot a glance at Gloria and decided not to voice her thoughts. She would wait for Stanley to explain it himself.
"I'm almost done." Jared shot a glance at Nicole and flashed her a faint smile.
"Okay, carry on then," Nicole said, grabbing her pajamas and entering the bathroom.
Jared's eyes darkened the instant he heard the sound of the water splashing and running in the bathroom. He turned his gaze back to the computer screen and made haste, typing away furiously.
Soon after, Nicole came out of the bathroom and dried her hair with a towel. Suddenly her vision darkened as she bumped into a brick wall of a chest.
"Ugh." She knew it was Jared even without looking.
Nicole rubbed her nose and asked, "Jared, why are you standing here?"
Before she could even complain, Jared snatched the towel from her hand and draped it back over her head.
