Chapter 2716
Nicole opened her eyes and slowly sat up. Out of nowhere, Jared grabbed her and kissed right at the temple.
Blushing, Nicole playfully frowned at Jared. "Get up already, would you?"
With a gentle gaze, Jared planted a kiss on Nicole's forehead before releasing her for her morning shower.
Nicole hurried off to the bathroom after she had gotten off the bed.
She then calmed herself with a splash of cold water on the face. 'Will that jerk just chill in the morning? His appetite is almost too much for me to handle.'
After washing up and preparing to make her way downstairs for breakfast, Nolan and Lana approached Nicole just as she was leaving her room.
"Mommy," the kids called out.
With each of them clinging to Nicole's arms, the kids' faces lit up with delight as they headed to the first floor with their mother.
"Oh, you're all awake. Let's have breakfast then," Gloria greeted once she had seen them.
As they were sitting at the dining table, Nicole noticed Stanley's pale complexion and asked, "Did you sleep well last night? You don't look so good.”
”Oh really?" Stanley touched his face. "Well, I had an alright sleep."
Nicole raised her eyebrows, knowing that something on his mind had kept him awake during the night prior. However, Stanley seemed determined to not dwell on it, so Nicole decided not to press him for more answers.
After breakfast, Tia came over to send the children to school.
Upon getting into the house, Tia greeted everyone, including Stanley. She then snuck a brief glance at Stanley before averting her gaze and taking the kids away with her.
Stanley watched as Tia departed. He could not help but feel that there was something alienating about the way she was behaving right in front of her.
"Mom, Dad, I'll get going," Nicole informed.
She could sense some kind of change in Stanley, but as she did not wish to say anything about it, she packed her stuff and left the house with Jared.
