Chapter 2608
"No, that's not what I meant. 1-1 just..." Tia stuttered, frustrated. She was blushing. "I like being at home."
Nicole, why don't you arrange a spot for her in your company? It doesn't matter if it's a janitor. I'm sure there'll be chances for her to meet new people," Mrs. Wallace Sr. urged.
"No, I don't need that." Tia shook her head. She turned to Nicole. "Nicole, I'm fine. Just let me take care of Grandma."
"But Grandma wants you to get married," said Nicole, pretending to sound conflicted.
Tia bit her lip and, after hesitating, she said softly, "Grandma, I don't want to get married."
Looking at Tia's desolate expression, Mrs. Wallace Sr. felt heartbroken for her and asked, "Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened. I just feel that I'm quite satisfied with the life I have right now," Tia said with a half-smile, not wanting Mrs. Wallace Sr. to worry for her.
"Grandma, I say let's forget about it. Maybe Tia's destiny has yet to come. There's no need to rush it," Nicole reassured.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at both Nicole and Tia before agreeing. "Alright then. You're all grown up. I'm happy as long as you're happy."
Mrs. Wallace Sr. could tell Tia had something on her mind, but Tia might not want to talk about it.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Gloria gestured to the food. "Alright, come on! Time for food."
"Yes, let's eat."
The topic of the conversation was shifted, and the atmosphere soon turned lively again.
Originally, Nolan and Lana were not hungry, so they sat for a while before going to watch television.
