Chapter 2609
Gloria nodded in satisfaction. 'Very well. After these three days, are there any more seminars going on?"
"For now, nothing is scheduled," Stanley replied, already feeling overwhelmed.
"Since nothing is scheduled, keep that time available," Gloria decided for him. "Remember, you promised us to
leave that time open for any dates or appointments."
Stanley silently screamed in agony to himself. "Alright, I got it." He pretended to agree to his mother's request, but
in fact, he was contemplating escaping the country.
"Stop daydreaming. I already kept your passport. If this date doesn't go successfully, don't you dare think of going
anywhere else," Gloria warmed, seeing through her son.

followup work to do. I won't leave San Joto anytime soon."
"Alright," Gloria said, satisfied. "I hope when you leave San Joto, it'll be for your honeymoon."
"Can I go upstairs now? I really do have a meeting," Stanley begged.
"Run along." At this moment, Gloria did not care if Stanley had a meeting or not. After all, he must do the things he
promised.
After Stanley left, Nicole laughed. "Mom, aren't you pushing Stanley too much?"
"Don't tell me you didn't realize that if we don't push harder, he might remain single forever," Gloria stated
worriedly.
After all these years, Samuel and Spencer both had June and Lulu by their sides. Although they were not yet
married to each other, these two had official girlfriends. Yet Stanley has had no girls around him. If this situation
went on, Stanley would never get married.
Mom, during these years when I'm not home, did something special happen to Stanley?" Nicole prompted after
thinking for a moment.
Gloria pondered before answering, "I don't think so." She turned to her husband. "Was there anything special?"
Daniel shook. "I don't think so too."
"Why would you ask this question?" Daniel asked curiously.' Did Nicole notice something unusual?'
"I was just asking. It's fine if nothing happened," Nicole replied. It was just merely her speculation, so she did not
want to tell her parents and make them worry for nothing.
"Well, look at the time. If there's nothing else, you should get some rest," Gloria reminded.

"Yeah, we're going up." Nicole agreed, and they went up with the kids.
Looking at the family of four, Gloria sighed in relief. "How good would it be if all the kids could end up like Jared and
Nicole?"
Eyes filled with reassurance, Daniel replied, "Don't worry. They will."
"Hopefully. I wish them all well."
"It's getting late. Let's get some rest."
"Yeah."
The night was deep, and all was silent. The Riddle family manor had long been engulfed in darkness, and only
Nicole's room was still illuminated with light.
"It's getting late. Aren't you going to rest?" Jared asked in concern, seeing that Nicole was still busy with her work.
Nicole spared a moment to turn to Jared. "I'll be done soon." She then continued to work.
Jared came over, placed a glass of warm water within Nicole's reach, and then sat down.
