Chapter 2702
"Forget it. There's nothing more that I can say about it now," Tia finished.
After all, Stanley was already together with Cherry.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Tia and comforted her as she patted her hand. "You should go out there and make more friends in the future."
Perhaps things would be different for Tia if she were in a different environment with new friends and a new life.
"I actually prefer staying at home," Tia told her truthfully. "I only agreed to go out because I saw everyone caring about me so much."
She thought she should not let them down, so she would hang out with the others a couple of times and return to not doing so gradually.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. patted her hand again, as she was still feeling sorry for her. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Let me help you up, Grandma." Tia lifted her up and sat her down on the bed.
Then, she left the room after ensuring that Mr. Wallace Sr. was lying down comfortably.
Tia sighed after closing the door. Now that she was all alone, her eyes began to well up. As she was unable to sleep, she took a stroll in the yard where she unexpectedly ran into Stanley, who had just returned after taking Cherry home.
Their eyes met, and as it was too late for either of them to turn around, Tia greeted him. "You're back."
"Yeah, are you not sleeping yet?" Stanley asked after noticing how dejected she looked.
Tia seemed really despondent, but he was not sure if it was because of him. He did not know how to comfort her, and he could not possibly ask her to not be sad over him and Cherry.
"I'd like to take a walk, so you should go to bed first." Tia gritted her teeth, struggling to remain calm.
Feeling sorry for Tia, Stanley advised, "You should go to bed soon. Thank you for taking care of me. You've been working hard for the past few days. I bet you haven't been resting properly."
"It's okay." Tia smiled. "It's my duty. I owe you, so consider it a repayment for all you've done for me. Besides, I don't find it exhausting. Taking care of you didn't tire me at all."
At that point, Stanley could not endure the heartache he was experiencing anymore, so he grabbed Tia's hand and walked her back to the house in the backyard.
