Chapter 2564
"Of course it's a no." Lana seized the opportunity and continued, "Great-grandma, I think Uncle Samuel doesn't like blind dates, so maybe you shouldn't arrange any more for him."
"I think if he’s not satisfied, we should arrange another one until he is. Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain." Nolan shook his little head like a grown man.
Lana furrowed her small brows, looking displeased at Nolan as if she were saying, "What are you doing?! Why are you on the other side?"
Gloria pondered and responded, "You're right. Maybe this one just didn't click with Stanley. I believe there's someone out there meant for him."
With that, Gloria busied herself to arrange the next blind date.
Lana pulled Nolan away and said in a lowered voice, "Nolan, why aren't you helping Aunt Tia?"
"I am," Nolan said with a meaningful look. "I'm just trying to help. That's why I said that."
"Is this your idea of helping?" Lana did not quite understand.
Nolan gave her a look that seemed to say, "You'll see what I mean later."
Lana still seemed a bit puzzled, but Nolan had stopped explaining, and Gloria had finished her phone call. She happily pulled Nolan and Lana along, asking, "What would you like for lunch? I'll get the chef to prepare it for you."
As they pondered what to have for lunch, Nicole got up and said, "You guys stay for lunch. I'm going to the office."
"Have lunch before you go!" Gloria urged.
"No, I'll just eat at the office," Nicole replied. With that, she bid them farewell and left.
As soon as she left, Patricia arrived. "Mrs. Johnston."
Nicole and Patricia got into the car together, and Nicole's expression grew serious. "They've been investigating you."
