Chapter 2865
Nolan and Lana were getting restless, as they could not see any hope in waiting for their uncles to get married.
And after everyone had understood what the two little ones were up to, they burst out into gales of laughter.
Wide-eyed, Ellar instantly leaped to the defense, "Hey, I'm younger than your mom. There's no rush for me. Don't count me in forthat one."
Ellar was indeed single, but he already had a life partner in mind, though he was unsure of when he would succeed in pursuing that certain someone. Still, he felt that the kids had to count him out for this one, as he did not want to get in the way of Nicole's lifelong union, which she deserved.
Nolan and Lana nodded their heads in understanding." You’re right. Hey Mommy? Uncle Ellar is younger than you. He doesn't count.”
Just like that, the kids had solved another problem, bringing another obstacle to their mother's future marriage out of the way.
The kids then looked at Preston in unison, making the latter shiver in fear. He said, "Whoa! There's still Stanley! Stanley doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
Preston had no choice but to divert their attention, as he could not handle the pressure of being scrutinized by everyone at the table.
"Uncle Stanley," The two began, about to say something when they decided against it. "We don't have to worry about Uncle Stanley. His turn is up. Uncle Preston? Please do us a favor and make good use of your time."
The look on Nolan and Lana's faces somehow conveyed the message that they were leaving the happiness of their parents in his hands, making him even more overwhelmed than he already was. 'Why am I even given such a massive responsibility? What does Nicole's marriage have to do with me?'
The more Preston thought about it, the more intense his headache became. He was helpless, feeling that he could not explain how messed up the situation was to them.
Seeing how scrunched up and aggrieved Preston's face was, Nicole smirked, "It's time you get yourself a girlfriend."
"It's easier said than done," Preston argued, shrugging his shoulders.
Then, Jared looked back at Nicole without saying a word.
"Daddy, why aren't you eating?" Lana said, giving Jared a shrimp to munch on.
Jared retracted his gaze and patted Lana's head gently. He then ate the shrimp she gave him.
Preston was fixated on the scene, feeling that the moment was one of exceptional beauty. He began to wonder if his future would be the same the day he fathered a daughter of his own. And upon becoming cognizant of what he was thinking about, Preston widened his eyes and smiled.
Alas, he figured that his future would not be undesirable if that was what it would come to. He even found himself anticipating such a day.
After the ceremony and lunch party was over, everyone congratulated the newlywed couple as well as Dexter and Emma before leaving.
Back home now, Nicole strolled off into the courtyard to pay Mrs. Wallace Sr. a visit.
