Chapter 2778
'Tia doesn't look right either. It seems that she hasn't gotten any sleep last night. Did something happen after the both of them left yesterday? Something must have, or else the both of them wouldn't have been acting weird and all. But if something did happen, why aren't they talking to each other? ' Nicole pondered.
Stanley stole a quick glance at Tia as she was leaving with the kids, and as expected, his subtle movements did not escape Nicole, whose eyebrows were raised. It was at this point that Nicole confirmed that something had indeed happened to them when no one was around. Otherwise, the both of them would not have exhibited such unusual behavior.
Meanwhile, Tia had just gotten into the car with Nolan and Lana.
"Tia, what’s going on with you and Uncle Stanley?" Nolan asked, his head tilted in curiosity.
Caught offguard, Tia panicked and defended herself. "No-no -nothing happened."
"Are you sure? It seemed that the both of you were avoiding each other," Lana described.
Lana was sure that something was off between Tia and Stanley, for Tia had greeted everyone except for him when they were having breakfast. In addition, Stanley had not
done so to Tia either. It was as if they were ignoring each other.
Furthermore, Lana had seen Stanley sending Tia back home last night, leading the little one to wonder what could have happened to them in the span of one night.
Tia was speechless, unable to provide an honest answer to the kids' honest question.
Instead, she forced a smile and replied, "I swear, nothing happened. Don’t think too much about it."
"Did Uncle Stanley make you angry?" Lana persisted, still feeling something was amiss.
To make things worse, Nolan piled in and remarked, "We saw you coming home with Uncle Stanley last night. There must be something going on between you two, since you're ignoring each other now."
Lana agreed, nodding her head. "Something must have happened yesterday, right?"
Tia’s face turned beet red at once, as she had been cornered by the kids. The children's innocent but straightforward questions were too much for Tia to handle. And while the kids might not misunderstand anything that had happened last night, there was no guarantee that others would not, either.
"No, there's nothing going on. I was just too tired after going on a night out, and on top of that, I didn't sleep well," Tia explained patiently, hoping to convince the two mischievous kids to leave it.
