Chapter 2820
While waiting for Tia to pick the kids up, Stanley glanced at Tia from the back, his gaze strained and intense.
"We're done eating breakfast. What other excuses do you have now?" Gloria questioned Stanley with a dour look on her face.
"Alright Mom and Dad." Stanley put on a more serious look." This is what actually happened..."
After narrating the entire story to Gloria and Daniel, Stanley felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders at an instant. Now that he had finally gotten it out of his chest, the family would no longer pester him about Cherry anymore.
"So, your relationship with Cherry has all been an act?" Gloria choked.

Moreover, it was an agreement which Cherry and Stanley were party to. Their relationship had never existed to begin with. It was all just a show. Even if Cherry had remained in the country, there was no chance in hell they would both get together.
"I think it's best if I pay the Jean family a visit soon." Daniel sighed. "I'm sure they know the entire story already. We
