Chapter 2285
Tia bit her lip lightly, took a deep breath, and attempted to suppress her nerves as she followed slowly from behind.
After getting into the car, Tia kept her head down, feeling like a helpless child who had done something wrong.
"Is your foot feeling okay?" Stanley asked in a bid to take her attention away from the matter, making her understand that what happened earlier was just an accident. He could not simply ignore her when she was on the verge of falling.
"It's fine," Tia moderated her tone, hoping it did not sound strange.
"You should visit a doctor if it hurts. Don't take it lightly," Stanley reminded her, worried that she might have injured her ankle.
Tia nodded. "I know, Mr. Stanley."
He did not like being called Mr. Stanley, but she had never changed her way of addressing him over the years. With this in mind, he issued a mental sigh and shook his head.
Putting his thoughts aside, Stanley continued driving to the Riddle residence while Tia sat quietly. Though she appeared calm, her mind was in total chaos.
The scene from earlier would not stop replaying in her mind, and the memory of her being in his embrace made her heart race uncontrollably.
Feeling more nervous as she thought about it, Tia buried her head and avoided looking at Stanley.
Noticing her movements, Stanley furrowed his brow slightly, though he acted as if he had seen nothing, focusing on his driving instead. He did not want things to become awkward between them, so he decided to give her more space.
Arriving at the Riddle residence, Stanley flatly said, "We're here. Let's go."
"Okay," Tia replied softly.
She then opened the door and headed straight to the backyard.
Watching her scrambling away, Stanley let out another sigh and walked into the house.
