Chapter 2755
Nicole watched as Tia walked in and returned her smile.
Thanks Tia." "Oh, it’s nothing, I quite like picking them up from school," Tia said.
Tia had taken a liking to picking the twins up for kindergarten, so much so that it did not feel like a chore for her
anymore. Instead, it was the most relaxing part of her day, as compared to the rest of the things she had to do on
a daily basis.
'How I wish I could go and pick them up from kindergarten every day. Those little munchkins are too cute. It’s like
all my worries would just vanish into thin air each time I see them smile.' Tia mentally sighed.
"Everyone's all here?" Stanley asked.
"Hey, Daniel. Hey, Gloria," Cherry Jean greeted from behind.
Everyone turned to where Cherry's voice was heard, all with frowns and grimaces plastered across their faces.

Cherry politely greeted everyone in the room before linking her arm with Stanley's as he guided her to both of their
seats at the table.
Cherry avoided Nicole's gaze and that was when Nicole understood that Stanley had informed Cherry about it.
'If she knows what is happening, things are going to get ugly real fast,' Nicole thought with a smirk on her face
before turning her head around.
Nicole was puzzled, unable to understand what had gotten into Stanley to make him think that introducing Cherry to
the entire family would be a good idea.
'I guess I have to wait and see how this will play out now,' Nicole concluded.
"Nicole, I think I should get going now. Let me know if you need me," Tia hurriedly said as soon as she noticed
Stanley and Cherry walking into the room.
As she was about to hightail it out of there, there was a look of unease written all over her face.
Nicole instinctively glanced at Stanley, who was standing there in silence.
Then, she nodded at Tia. "There's nothing much here for you to do anyway. If you want to, you can go home and
chill out."
Nicole was hoping that Tia would understand her offer: she could stick around if she wanted to.
However, Tia proceeded to bid everyone goodbye before skedaddling.
Stanley had a complicated look on his face that was rather difficult for Nicole to read. He was staring at the
direction where Tia had made her exit for a good minute before coming back to his senses and turning to Daniel
and Gloria.
"Mom? Dad? Cherry wanted to visit you guys so here we are, " Stanley said.
"Cherry, I heard the news a few days ago. If it's okay for you, could you tell us what's happening? We wanted to ask
Stanley, but with him being the stubborn fella he is, he wouldn't utter a word," Gloria complained.
"Gloria, please don't misunderstand my father's intentions. He meant well, but Stanley and I think that we should

around Gloria's.
"What do you think?" Cherry asked.
"I have no objections if you two are fine with it," Gloria grinned.
"Gloria, you're so understanding! If only my parents were as open minded as you are. I might just be one of the
happiest people in the world." Cherry sighed.
"You silly goose. Your parents love you and cherish you very much," Gloria chuckled as she reassured Cherry.
Overwhelmed with emotions, Cherry's eyes began to well up. "It's quite a shame that they don't know what I truly
want. If
Cherry had always yearned for the love from her parents, but unfortunately, she had never received any.
Stanley, upon noticing Cherry’s change in emotion, quickly stepped in and said, "Mom, Dad? The food is almost
ready. Let's eat."
"Oh! Right, come over, everyone. Let's have dinner,' Gloria invited.
Cherry looked around, and the instant she noticed that Tia was missing, she asked, "Is Tia not joining us?"
Stanley frowned. "She's not coming. She usually eats with Mrs. Wallace Sr. in the back. She rarely joins us."
