Chapter 2867
Seeing this, Mrs. Wallace Sr. smiled. "It seems that I no longer have to worry about Tia."
"That's right," Nicole said, holding her hand. "Tia and I are all grown up now. You don't have to worry about us
anymore. You can focus on enjoying life and taking care of yourself now."
The both of them then went on to reminisce about the memories they once shared.
Meanwhile, Tia had stopped on her tracks once she had stepped out onto the courtyard. "Hey, is there anything you
want to talk to me about?"
"Nothing, in particular. I just miss you. So here I am," Stanley revealed gently.
Upon hearing Stanley's response, Tia blushed and stammered, "Didn't...didn't we just meet in the morning?"
"Well, I still missed you regardless," Stanley said, caressing Tia's hair.
A surge of warmth and fuzziness filled Tia, causing her to blush.

come along and join us?"
"The day after tomorrow?" Tia asked, biting her lips in hesitation.
"Are you tied up on that night?" Stanley asked.
Tia mentally sighed, and with a smile, she shook her head." No. I'll be there."
"That's great. I'll pick you up, and we'll head over there together," Stanley smiled.
"Yeah, sure." Tia nodded at Stanley, whose gaze was brimming with affection.
Nicole, who just so happened to have walked out, was met with this scene, so she proceeded to clear her throat
and interrupt the couple.
Tia quickly released Stanley's hands and backed away from him.
Turning to Nicole, Stanley asked. "Mrs. Wallace Sr. is taking a nap, isn't she?"
"Yeah, she's fast asleep," Nicole answered before locking eyes with Stanley. "Well, I’ll get out of your hair now. See
you around!"
Annoyed, Stanley rolled his eyes. "Hey, wait up."
He then grabbed Tia's hand and said, "I'll get going now. I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow."
"Okay," Tia replied shyly, after which she turned around and returned to her house.
As for Stanley, he ran after Nicole and asked, "Is there anything you want to discuss? We can talk along the way."
Stanley knew Nicole had something to say to him.
Otherwise, she would not have gone out of her way to get his attention.
"About the dinner, have you not told Tia about it?" Nicole asked, cutting to the chase.
"Well, I just told her," Stanley revealed.
Nicole nodded. "Oh, so that's why."
It was clear to her now that Stanley had shown up to tell Tia about the dinner. She felt that it would be ideal for him
to take some time out to inform Tia in advance, as the day would be a special one.

Nicole smirked. "Well, I don't think I need to now."
Since Stanley had gotten it all covered, he should know what to do next. If this was the plan he had in mind, Nicole
would no doubt be ready to throw all of her support behind him.
He stood frozen for a moment, but before he could utter another word, Nicole had already sauntered off in big
strides.
Then, he burst out laughing. "What was I thinking? Nicole knows Tia really well. How could she not know? I'm sure
she called it a longtime ago.'
Nicole returned to the Riddle residence soon after and
headed to Nolan's room. There, Jared was narrating stories to both of the kids as they were preparing to take a
nap.
"Mommy," Nolan and Lana called out when they saw her.
They looked drowsy, and were already prepared to fall asleep.
