Chapter 2747
"What's she up to?" Nicole frowned. 'Is Cherry using Stanley as a shield?'
"It's just a deal between us. She's getting her visa. But there are some problems causing the delay," Stanley admitted, relieved after sharing his dirt with Nicole.
Nodding, Nicole instantly understood Cherry's plan, as well as Stanley's. "You're using her to stop the inflow of dates Mom's setting up for you?"
"You can say that, but you're not entirely correct," Stanley replied.
"What do you mean by not entirely?" Nicole asked, becoming even more confused.
It was obvious that Cherry was using Stanley as a smokescreen to lull her family into a false sense of security until her visa was approved. After that, she would leave the country with her real boyfriend.
However, Nicole could still not figure out Stanley's motive in this deal. Once Cherry had left, his family would still pressure him into getting married. This much would be true.
"She's helping me," Stanley murmured. ’It's between Tia and I."
"You and Tia?" Nicole asked, her eyes widening in surprise.' What's the situation between Stanley and Tia?'
"All along, Tia had someone she liked. I could only look out for her without crossing any lines. But then, Cherry told me that Tia does care about me, so here I am, fighting for myself," Stanley explained.
If Tia did care about him, Stanley would do all he could for a chance to be with her.
"So your way of fighting for a chance at love is by getting yourself a false girlfriend? And not to mention, you even acted all lovey-dovey in front of Tia," Nicole reprimanded.
"Cherry said it would affect Tia. The idea is that, if Tia really does care about me, she won't remain indifferent," Stanley explained.
However, he did not want to act in front of Tia, so he did his best to avoid getting too close to Cherry.
