Chapter 2866
"Ah, here comes my Nicole," Mrs. Wallace Sr. smiled, welcoming Nicole.
"Hey, grandma. Are you feeling better now?" Nicole asked, approaching her grandmother's bedside..
With a smile plastered on her face, Mrs. Wallace Sr. answered, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
Seeing that Mrs. Wallace Sr. was trying to sit up, Nicole carefully helped her out. "Slow down, Grandma. Easy now."
Then, once Mrs. Wallace Sr. was seated upright, Nicole handed her a glass of water. "Here, have some water."
Mrs. Wallace Sr. sipped a few mouthfuls from the glass before putting it down. "I see you're all done with your work.
"Don't worry, Grandma. Everything went smoothly, and everyone's back at home now," Nicole reassured with a
smile.
"That's good," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said, holding Nicole's hand." It's a pity that Tia didn't get to attend the wedding

Shaking her head, Nicole consoled, "No, no. It's fine.
Everyone understood what you were going through. You're fine now, and that's all that matters."
"Hi, Nicole," Tia greeted as she entered the room. "Grandma told me she's feeling better after her nap. You don't
have to worry about her."
Nicole was all smiles as she glanced over at Tia. "Stanley mentioned that he's going to treat everyone to a meal in
two days. Grandma should be fully recovered by then. You must come along, alright?"
After pausing for a moment, Tia nodded. "Oh yeah, sure."
Catching the look of surprise on Tia's face, Nicole figured that Tia had no idea what Stanley was up to. She then
raised her brows in curiosity, surprised that Stanley had yet to inform Tia.
"You youngsters shouldn't be paying too much attention to me. I'll be fine," Mrs. Wallace Sr. advised before turning
to Tia. "You should go out and have fun with your friends in your free time. Someone else will take care of me when
you're not here."
"But I want to take care of you," Tia said, inching closer to Mrs. Wallace Sr. "You're still ill. I get worried sick
whenever you’re in someone else's hands."
Tia would be fine with going out on any other normal day, but she did not have the heart to have fun when Mrs.
Wallace Sr. was still in need of her care.
Shaking her head, Mrs. Wallace Sr. argued, "But you can't stay with me forever."
Mrs. Wallace Sr. was hinting that one would always start their own family and their own home, and that Tia would
eventually have to leave her.
Tia understood Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s meaning and blushed. She argued, "I'm not going anywhere."
Nicole chuckled at Tia's words, saying meaningfully, "Well, that's not wrong either. I guess you won't be going far."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Stanley and Tia got together, the two of them would most probably remain in the Riddle residence, unlike the
others who had branched out and bought their own homes.
Therefore, Tia could still stick around to take care of Mrs. Wallace Sr. while Stanley would not need to part ways
with Daniel and Gloria. The house would remain as lively as ever, and their parents would not feel as lonely as they
had feared.
"Oh gosh, Nicole!" Tia gasped in shock, her face flushing.
Chuckling, Nicole took it as a cue to stop embarrassing Tia.
She then held her grandmother's hand and chatted away until she spotted Stanley, who had just entered. That was
when she figured he was here to find Tia.
"Is grandma feeling better?" Stanley asked in concern the instant he saw Mrs. Wallace Sr.
"I'm fine," Mrs. Wallace Sr. answered, smiling. "You must be here for Tia."
Mrs. Wallace Sr. then directed him to Tia. "Go on ahead. I'm fine over here."
Then, Nicole chimed in, "Yeah. I'll take care of her."
"Well, I'll be bringing her out for a moment, then," Stanley gratefully replied before leading Tia out of the room.
