My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2778

'Tia doesn't look right either. It seems that she hasn't gotten any sleep last night. Did something happen after the both of them left yesterday? Something must have, or else the both of them wouldn't have been acting weird and all. But if something did happen, why aren't they talking to each other?' Nicole pondered.

Stanley stole a quick glance at Tia as she was leaving with the kids, and as expected, his subtle movements did not escape Nicole, whose eyebrows were raised. It was at this point that Nicole confirmed that something had indeed happened to them when no one was around. Otherwise, the both of them would not have exhibited such unusual behavior.

Meanwhile, Tia had just gotten into the car with Nolan and Lana.

"Tia, what's going on with you and Uncle Stanley?" Nolan asked, his head tilted in curiosity.

Caught offguard, Tia panicked and defended herself. "No-no -nothing happened."

"Are you sure? It seemed that the both of you were avoiding each other," Lana described.

Lana was sure that something was off between Tia and Stanley, for Tia had greeted everyone except for him when they were having breakfast. In addition, Stanley had not

done so to Tia either. It was as if they were ignoring each other.

Furthermore, Lana had seen Stanley sending Tia back home last night, leading the little one to wonder what could have happened to them in the span of one night.

Tia was speechless, unable to provide an honest answer to the kids' honest question.

Instead, she forced a smile and replied, "I swear, nothing happened. Don't think too much about it."

"Did Uncle Stanley make you angry?" Lana persisted, still feeling something was amiss.

To make things worse, Nolan piled in and remarked, "We saw you coming home with Uncle Stanley last night. There must be something going on between you two, since you're ignoring each other now." Lana agreed, nodding her head. "Something must have happened yesterday, right?"

Tia's face turned beet red at once, as she had been cornered by the kids. The children's innocent but straightforward questions were too much for Tia to handle. And while the kids might not misunderstand anything that had happened last night, there was no guarantee that others would not, either.

"No, there's nothing going on. I was just too tired after going on a night out, and on top of that, I didn't sleep well," Tia explained patiently, hoping to convince the two mischievous kids to leave it.

"Are you sure? You didn't have to ignore Uncle Stanley if that's the case, though," Nolan mumbled, frowning in disbelief.

"I wasn't ignoring him. I just didn't have the time to say hi," Tia replied with a half-smile, feeling a little guilty deep down.

It was obvious that Tia had the time to greet Stanley, but considering everything they had going forthem since last night, she did not dare to even look at him. She was simply too embarrassed to interact with Stanley after that particular incident in the car.

"Oh," Lana said, finally believing Tia.

Just when Tia thought they were going to drop it, Nolan looked at her and blurted, "So, did you make any new friends yesterday, Tia?"

"Huh?" Tia asked with her brows furrowed, not catching onto what Nolan had said.

"Didn't Aunt June introduce you to some new friends? Did you like any of them?" Lana asked mischievously.

Lana wanted to gossip, believing that there must have been someone whom Tia had taken at least a little liking for.

And just like that, all of that embarrassment came flooding back. It was getting harder to deal with their questions now.

"It's not how you imagined it. It was just a normal gathering. Besides, there were a lot of people who attended, even the bridesmaids from the wedding," Tia simplified the situation and explained. After all, she had joined the team-building event only because she did not have the heart to decline their invitation.

"Okay. So, there was no one you liked. But, was there anyone there who liked you?" Lana continued.

"I'm sure there were some," Nolan interrupted. "Otherwise, Uncle Stanley would not have gotten all jealous."

"Jealous?" Lana asked.

She seemed puzzled, as if she had just been met with something she was totally unfamiliar with.

"Wait, isn't Uncle Stanley with Cherry? Why would he be jealous?" Lana asked Nolan.

"You know," Nolan hesitated and paused, finally noticing that something was not adding up.
