Chapter 3144
Standing up with a smile, Nicole said, "Mom, we should be going now." "Oh, alright, be careful on the road," Gloria cautioned Jared and Nicole.
"Don't worry," they assured, leaving together.
The house quieted down again. Gloria turned to Daniel. "Why aren't you leaving today?" "Dad's been alright these past few days, so I'm not going anywhere," Daniel replied.
"I see," Gloria shrugged and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Daniel asked, holding her back.
"Back to my room," she said, planning to return to her room to read since there wasn't much else to do.
Daniel also stood up, taking Gloria's hand. "Why not join me for a bit outside?" "Where to?" Gloria asked, intrigued. 'If he's not going back to Benjamin's place, does he have someone else he needs me to go with him to meet?' "I've reserved that limited edition necklace you liked but couldn't get last time. They said it would arrive today; let's go check it out," Daniel said softly, surprising Gloria.
"I just made a passing remark at the time. It's okay if we didn't get it; I'm not lacking necklaces," Gloria responded.
"It's rare to find something you like, and it's already arrived. Let's go have a look," Daniel persuaded, leading Gloria away from the Riddle residence.
Deep down, Gloria felt touched. Perhaps the necklace wasn't all that important, but the thoughtfulness behind the gesture warmed her heart.
Meanwhile, Nicole had arrived at the office.
"How did it go, was Patricia's mission last night successful?" Lulu asked eagerly as soon as Nicole walked in.
