Chapter 2803
Just as Jared laid down, Nicole’s arm reached over and landed on Jared's chest. She was leaning toward him as if she had sensed his presence.
Smirking, Jared embraced Nicole affectionately and gently kissed her on the forehead before going to sleep.
The next day, the sunlight was brilliant and warm. After breakfast, Tia came over to get the kids and send them to school.
Jared and Nicole were ready to leave for work as well, but as Stanley was about to walk out the door, Gloria stopped him.
"Stanley, invite Cherry to have dinner at home tonight," Gloria ordered without stopping to ask for Stanley's opinion.
She knew very well that Stanley would refuse if she had asked him.
"Mom, I don’t think that's possible," Stanley frowned, feeling awkward and uncomfortable.
"Why not? Did the two of you really get into an argument? No wonder she hasn't been around lately," Gloria assumed, and her mind began coming up with all sorts of possibilities.
Stanley was rendered speechless as he rubbed his temples." Mom, it's not like that. You're overthinking it."
"Have her over for dinner tonight if you don't want me to worry about it. If not. I'll personally look for her," Gloria insisted.
Seeing the look on Stanley's face made Gloria even more worried. He had finally gotten himself a girlfriend after a long string of failed blind dates she had set up for him. Thus, Gloria was genuinely concerned that he had broken up with Cherry.
"Mom!" Stanley yelled in exasperation.
He was left completely helpless, not knowing how to explain it to Gloria.
To prevent her from thinking too much, Stanley reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I'll get her to come over."
"Don't just tell her. Make sure she actually comes over," Gloria reminded, still concerned about him and Cherry.
