My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2699

Chapter 2699

As soon as they arrived at the Riddle residence, Nicole found that her expectations were met. The house was indeed very lively.

Sally Kane had also shown up with a bloated belly and to Nicole's surprise, Cherry Jean was also present.

"Everyone's here now so let's head over to the dining room. We'll begin our dinner shortly," Gloria announced.

Everyone nodded, made a beeline for the dining room, and took their seats next to each other. In no time, the dining room was filled with chatter and laughter again.

Gloria and Daniel sat on the opposite ends of the long dining table across one another while the rest sat facing each other.

As for Lulu, she took a seat next to Nicole and whispered," What’s up with her voice? Is Stanley really going out with her?"

As obvious as it was to everyone, it was a family dinner. Therefore, it was surprise that Stanley had brought Cherry Jean over for dinner.

'Is this a way of telling everyone that they're now official?' Nicole wondered.

"I'm not so sure about it either." Nicole frowned. 'Is it possible that something has developed between the two of

them while he was hospitalized? I knew that she went to visit him but I'm not quite sure of the details.'

Everyone around the room exchanged looks with one another, confused. Meanwhile, Tia was also present at the dinner table. She was silent with her head lowered the entire time. She had a certain look to her face which made it hard for everyone to read her.

"Now, since everyone is back, let's have a toast to Samuel and Spencer who just came back from their honeymoon, and to Stanley who has just gotten discharged from the hospital. Let's celebrate this moment together," Daniel cheered in an attempt to

"Stanley being safe and sound is already the best news the family can receive,' Steve added as he picked his wine glass up and raised it.

"Let's toast to Stanley's discharge from the hospital!"

Then, everyone picked their glasses up and clinked them.

"Stanley, care to share a word or two?" Samuel suggested, and winked at Stanley before gesturing at Cherry.

"What did you call me?"

"Daniel, Gloria," Tia answered, though she was still uncomfortable calling them by their first names.

"Don't ever say that you're not in a rush. Everyone in this household cares about you and you're the only one left without a partner, so naturally, the spotlight is on you now," Gloria informed before giving her a kind smile.

'If Stanley chooses to be with Cherry, I will have no objections to it. However, I'll have to be more attentive to the minor details in Tia's case,' Gloria thought to herself.

On the other hand, Tia was biting her lip and thinking to herself, 'It feels like...I'm a part of this family...'

Tia's heart skipped a beat, as she saw how she was getting special treatment from the Riddle family. However, she was still grappling with feelings of inferiority, seeing how she was not a match for Stanley.

'I guess all I have to do is give him my blessings now that he has someone he genuinely likes,' Tia thought.

For once, she felt that she belonged somewhere, as the Riddle family was treating her like she was one of their own.
