Chapter 2779
If that was not the situation, the kids could only wonder why Stanley would bring Tia home last night
"Don't overthink it! I swear! Nothing happened yesterday," Tia insisted.
The more they explained, the more complicated the situation became, and at this rate, the kids were proving to be quite a handful.
"Tia, I think you should keep your distance from Uncle Stanley. Why don’t you try to make friends with the people Aunt June introduced?" Nolan advised.
He had no choice but to say what he said because he did not want the people he cared about to get hurt.
"Actually, we really hoped that you would give Uncle Stanley a chance. We've even helped him in secret many times, but sadly. Ugh! Sadly, things just aren't working out," Lana sighed, her speech and mannerism mirroring that of an adult.
They had initially thought that Stanley and Tia would be a good match. Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and there was nothing they could do to force it.
Tia's lips twitched. She was in complete disbelief of what the kids were thinking about these days.
"I'll warn Uncle Stanley tonight. His behavior will only hurt you and Cherry," Nolan shook his head, looking distressed now.
Tia was speechless at the kids' words. They really thought they were thinking ahead of time.
" Tia," Lana was about to continue, but was stopped when Tia covered her mouth.
If the kids continued to talk, she and Stanley would become the scapegoats of the family.
"Erm, you guys misunderstood the situation," Tia explained." I didn't want to join the others in the karaoke. That was why we came home earlier yesterday."
Tia figured that this was her last ditch effort to clarify her situation to the kids. The simpler the explanation was, the easier it would be for them to understand.
"Then?" Lana asked, eager for more details.
She was expecting Stanley and Tia to have made some degree of progress.
"No idea," Nicole shook her head, feeling that something was off. "They're acting weird. During breakfast, they seemed even more distant than usual."
Nicole shared the story with Lulu, and said, "It's better to let them handle it."
Nicole found their situation strange, as Stanley and Tia did not seem to have any major issues with one another.
Perhaps something had really happened to them last night. The only other possibility was that they were waiting for the perfect time.
"Oh,” Lulu replied. "Fine. I wish them all the best."
"Oh, and by the way." Lulu smirked and placed the file down. "It's done."
"Nicole raised an eyebrow, intrigued by what Lulu had accomplished. "That went smoothly."
