Chapter 1604
Steve could not help but click his tongue. "It seems to me the three of you are all grown up."
In response, Stanley looked at Steve and joked, "Oh, you're too kind, but we're not like you. For you, plus ones are never in short supply."
Stanley's words were so abrupt that Steve almost choked on the water he was drinking.
"Stanley, stop spewing hogwash, will you?" Steve said.

Sean sighed. "Mom, you know that I'm a busy person. How am I even supposed to find the time to date someone?"
Gloria shook her head immediately, and looked back at Nicole, "You should learn a thing or two from Nicole. She's busy with both her work and her studies, and yet, she's soon to settle down with marriage in the talks.
