My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2741

Chapter 2741

"Mom, let's have breakfast," Nicole suggested to divert Gloria's attention when she saw how conflicted Stanley was.

"Grandma, we're joining the parent-child event." Nolan and Lana added, eager to finish their breakfast and make a run for school.

Understanding what Nicole's intention was, Gloria looked at Stanley and agreed, "Okay, let's have breakfast first."

After the family were all seated in the dining room, they had breakfast, though with a lingering sense of awkwardness in the air. Gloria was also feeling antsy, prompting Daniel to pat her on the hand to comfort her while signaling to her to maintain her silence until their children had all left.

All Gloria could do at that point was put up with it. She shot a glance at Stanley before lowering her head to eat what was left of her meal.

After Nolan and Lana had scraped their plates clean, they pulled Nicole and Jared along and walked them to the front door with great enthusiasm.

"Grandpa, Grandma, we're going to school!" they yelled.

"Alright, have fun." Daniel said.

"Thank you."

Gloria smiled as she watched the kids leave, but her smile gradually faded as she turned to look at Stanley.

"Mom, I have an urgent meeting today. I need to leave now." Stanley hurriedly got up and left.

He had decided not to explain the situation to them by himself. Instead, he would bring Cherry over to clarify everything to his parents together.

"Hey, stop!" Gloria shouted, but Stanley had already fled by then.

"Let the kid handle it by himself," Daniel comforted her when he saw how worried she was.
