Chapter 2616
Lana smiled, giggling. "It's delicious.
KNOCK, KNOCK.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Nolan immediately stood up and said, "It's Mom and Dad! I'll go open the
door."
He ran to the door, opened it, and saw Nicole and Jared standing outside.
"Daddy, Mommy!" Nolan looked at them, feeling joyful.
Nicole and Jared entered the room. Then, Stanley and Tia both stood up.
"You're here too." Stanley glanced at Nicole with an indescribable look on his face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole shrugged helplessly. "Maybe the kids like you a little too much."
She was implying that it had nothing to do with her, and it was entirely the kids' idea.
Stanley understood the implication of Nicole's words.
However, what he said was, "Would you guys like to have some ice cream too?"
"I think I should probably take Nolan and Lana away," said Nicole, looking at her kids.
"Where are we going?" Nolan and Lana asked expectantly.
They had been thinking of an excuse to run away and leave Tia in the room. So, they were glad that Nicole
suggested leaving with them.
"Can we go to the playground?" Nolan asked. It had been some time since they last went to the playground.
"Sure,” Nicole agreed instantly. After all, they just needed an excuse to leave.
Seeing that Nicole was about to leave with her children, Tia said, "I'll go back too then."
"I'm afraid not." Nicole frowned, looking a little conflicted.
Tia was taken aback. "Ms. Nicole, is there something wrong? It
"There is," Nicole said helplessly. "The driver just asked fora leave because there's an emergency at home."
"Ah!" Tia was stunned. 'Since the driver has left, and the kids are going to leave with Ms. Riddle, where am I
supposed to go?’
"Uncle Stanley, I guess well need to trouble you to take Ms. Rose home," Nolan immediately proposed.
"But Mr. Stanley is busy..." Tia spoke as her voice gradually grew softer, not wanting to cause Stanley any
inconvenience.
With an innocent look, Lana added, "You can stay here with Uncle Stanley then. He'll take you home when he's
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdone."
That was the perfect plan because Stanley and Tia would get to spend some time alone.
"I..." Tia felt incredibly awkward and did not know what to do.
"I'll take her back. You guys can leave now." Of course, Stanley knew that it was just another one of Nolan and
Lana's schemes. He did not want to put Tia in a difficult position, so he agreed.
"Mr. Riddle!" Tia was somewhat shocked that Stanley agreed to let her stay. She was aware that Stanley did not like
being disturbed when he was working.
She knew that she only got to be here because of Nolan and Lana. If it were someone else, they would most
probably be left standing outside the room.
"Have a seat. It'd be a shame not to enjoy the ice cream," Stanley said as he looked at the kids.
He knew very well what Nolan and Lana were trying to do, and it left him feeling both frustrated and helpless.
Then, Nicole and Jared left with the kids, leaving Stanley and Tia alone in the room.
