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!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStanley 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.
He could not simply pick anyone at random and go with it. Although he was not a picky one when it came to his
choice of a life partner, he still wanted to find someone who would get along well with him. The main difficulty was
in finding someone he was compatible with. A progressive approach was necessary for a relationship to flourish,
and a successful relationship would only come naturally without any interference or coercion from outside forces.
However, the elephant in the room remained; he had never found a person he was interested in, let alone get
along with.
"It's indeed difficult, but you can start by getting out there and making an effort. If you don't initiate anything, you're
never going to reach the end of the line," Nicole said meaningfully.
Nicole had no intention of urging anyone into getting married. However, it would not hurt anyone if Preston could
find love along the way.
Preston paused at Nicole's words, whereupon he arrived at an understanding and nodded in agreement. "I will."
Preston was aware that Nicole was not trying to pressure him, so the only reason as to why the kids were so
concerned about his love life was that she had given them an excuse for why she had not married Jared yet. In
truth, his relationship status would not influence when they would hold the ceremony.
Nicole and Jared had been putting the wedding ceremony at the back burner because the time was not right. As
such, it would be reasonable to assume that they would get married when the right time came.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole then glanced over at Jared. She was still uncertain as to why Jared had decided to show up despite having
announced his departure publicly.
It seemed, however, that everyone else shared an unspoken understanding of the situation. In fact, the crowd had
been wondering if their decision on when to hold their wedding was related to something they were not privy to. All
they had was a certainty that the couple would proceed with their long-awaited ceremony after their concerns,
whatever they might be, had been put to rest.
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.
