Chapter 2836
Jared went on to follow his family into the house, while Stanley stayed behind.
Nicole arched her brows as she observed Stanley's actions, a smile creeping up her lips.
She had deliberately mentioned to Stanley that they had just returned, and much to her amusement, Stanley
seemed to have understood what she meant. If he did not, he would not have looked in the direction of Tia's
quarters located at the backyard. At this time, he should be able to see Tia.
Indeed, Stanley was looking at Tia. Though he had caught nothing but a fleeting glimpse of her back, which quickly
disappeared into the house, his gaze remained fixed and unwavering.
After a moment of hesitation, Stanley made a beeline to Tia's quarters in big strides.
Things had settled down now that Cherry had left. However, he still could not shake the feeling that Tia had become
more distant for the past few days.
Today was a good opportunity for him to make his feelings obvious to her, so Stanley wondered, 'Why not clarify

After a few seconds, he arrived at the house in the backyard, where he saw Tia in the kitchen preparing dinner for
Mrs. Wallace Sr..
"Prepare some for me too," Stanley reminded Tia while standing at the doorway of the kitchen.
Tia widened her eyes in surprise when she heard Stanley's voice. "Wait, why are you here?"
"To see you." Stanley smiled. "I just so happen to be here for dinner, so I reckon, why not?"
"Do you really want to have dinner here?" Tia frowned, sounding a little hesitant.
Stanley raised an eyebrow. "Is it inconvenient?"
"No, please stay," Mrs. Wallace Sr. replied from behind..
Knowing who that was, Stanley shifted his gaze toward Mrs. Wallace Sr. and greeted, "Hello, Grandma."
"If you want to have dinner here, you are welcome to stay," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said with a loving smile.
"Alright," Stanley agreed.
He then stepped forward and pushed Mrs. Wallace Sr. toward the dining room.
Nervous and uncomfortable, Tia bit her lip and continued preparing dinner for one more, knowing that Stanley
would definitely stay.
After a while, Tia brought the food to the table, signaling that dinner was ready.
"Sit down and join us," Mrs. Wallace Sr. called out to Tia.
"Okay," Tia answered and sat down to have her dinner with Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Stanley.
The atmosphere during dinner carried a strange tension. Tia kept her head down the entire time while Stanley
would steal glances of her every now and again, while Mrs.
Wallace Sr. watched the two of them with a look of amusement and contentment.
Although no one spoke, it seemed like a thousand words had been exchanged.
"I'm done. Tia, keep Stanley company for me. I'm feeling a little tired, so I'm going to get some rest," Mrs. Wallace
Sr. said, steering her wheelchair toward her room.
Tia began to feel even more awkward as she realized that Stanley was staying. She quickly glanced over at him and
lowered her head again, feeling very awkward in his presence.

"No." Tia shook her head, changing the topic. "Let's eat."
"I’m done eating," Stanley declared.
He had just finished, but Tia did not even dare to look at him. She had even asked him to continue eating, which
amused him.
"Oh, I'm almost done too. Let me clean up," Tia stood up and began to tidy the table.
Stanley then asked, "Are you sure you're done eating?"
"Yeah," Tia replied.
However, as she lowered her head, she realized there was still plenty of food left on her plate. Unable to help the
feeling of embarrassment she was feeling, she sat down again.
"I'm almost done," she added.
Stanley flashed her a smile of satisfaction as he watched her gobble her food down. Although she appeared to be
eating with her head hanging low moments ago, she had not really been eating. Instead, she had been
daydreaming the entire time.
Now that she had gotten a proper bite, he felt relieved. Everyone had to eat, and no one should go to bed on an
empty stomach, least of all Tia.
After clearing her plate of her food in short order, Tia scrambled to clean the table.
