My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 2739

Chapter 2739

"Stanley, what are you doing?" Gloria asked when she saw Stanley texting someone with his head lowered.

"Why is Stanley so absentminded? First, he was busy daydreaming and now he's looking at his phone. Is something bothering him?' Gloria wondered.

"Mom, I need to go out for a while. There's something I need to take care of," Stanley said as he got up.

He could only help Cherry out as he had promised to do so from the very beginning. Therefore, he could not go back on his word.

"What's going on with him?" Daniel asked, puzzled by his son's behavior as well.

"Who knows. He's acting strange, that's for sure." Gloria sighed in defeat.

"Dad, Mom? Stanley can handle his own issues," Nicole comforted them, not wanting them to worry about him.

She believed that Stanley must have felt something very different, which in turn made him uneasy. All she could do now was hope that he could figure his feelings out. Only then would things return to normal. After Stanley had left, he immediately called Cherry. "Hey, where are you?"

"Okay, I'm coming over now," he said before hanging up.

As he turned around, he saw Tia, who seemed to have just emerged from the direction of the garage.

"Tia!?" Stanley exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, he was also feeling a little guilty.

"My handbag is in the car. I just went to get it. I'm going back now," Tia spluttered, before walking past Stanley and hurrying to the backyard as if she was trying to flee from him.

Stanley watched as she hurried off, and reached his hand out to stop her. However, he was far behind now, so he dropped his arm and watched as Tia's figure vanished from sight. When Tia returned to Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s quarters at the back, she began her cleaning routine absentmindedly, not realizing that she was holding a towel instead of a rag.

"Tia, what are you doing?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked, having noticed the strangeness of her actions.

"Oh, just wiping this down. It's a bit dirty," Tia said, her wiping motions becoming even more vigorous.

"But that's a towel," Mrs. Wallace Sr. remarked.

Tia paused for a moment, and that was when she realized that she was holding a towel. There, she stood frozen, embarrassed and at a loss.

"Come, come over and take a break for a while. Talk to Grandma." Mrs. Wallace Sr. beckoned.

Tia instantly teared up while she gritted her teeth to fight the tears back in front of Mrs. Wallace Sr.

Then, she slowly walked up to Mrs. Wallace Sr. and sat down. At that moment, she began talking to Mrs. Wallace Sr. about her days in the countryside. Pouring her feelings out like that made her feel better, as many pleasant memories from the past resurfaced.

During the next day, Nicole heard frantic knocking and shouting at the door, even though it was still early and she had barely woken up.

"Daddy! Mommy! Wake up! Let's join the event," Nolan and Lana shouted from outside the room.

Frowning, Nicole opened her crusted eyes and sat up, slowly and groggily. "Okay, you can go down first."

"We'll be waiting for you in the living room, then."

The knocking stopped, and rapid footfalls took their place, growing softer with each passing second.

Nicole rubbed her temples when she was certain that her kids were gone. Then, she got out of bed, with Jared following suit.

After freshening up, the two went downstairs, where they saw Nolan and Lana sitting quietly on the couch in the living room. But the second they saw their parents, they jumped up and yelled, "Daddy! Mommy!"
