Moreover, if the truth was revealed now, it might affect Cherry's departure, and all of her efforts would
be in vain as a result.
"You better not ask Nicole about this. She might not know as much as you think. It's better to wait for
Stanley to come back and then have him invite Cherry over. We'll know the answers to everything we
want to know," Daniel advised Gloria, as he noticed that Nicole seemed reluctant to discuss the topic of
Stanley's relationship.
"Alright, let's get Stanley to bring Cherry over. She hasn't visited for a while," Gloria agreed.
Once the father and daughter duo had spoken to Gloria, her attention had been successfully diverted,
and she stopped pressuring Nicole any further into revealing the truth about Stanley and Cherry.
Nicole then smiled at Daniel, appreciating that her father had helped her out. He did not want to put her
in a difficult position, so he had come up with a diplomatic solution that satisfied both sides.
"Let's eat." Daniel nodded with a smile.
After dinner, Nicole and Jared went upstairs to talk to Nolan and Lana.
As for Gloria, she began to feel antsy after glancing at the time, causing her to remark, "Why hasn't
Stanley returned yet?"
"He has to handle everything before he can come back," Daniel comforted.
"Ah." Gloria sighed, and turned to the courtyard, hoping to see Stanley in the next few seconds.
Seeing that his wife was still on edge, Daniel held her hand and said, "Don’t worry. Even if he comes
back now, you can't get him to invite Cherry over at this hour. Wait until tomorrow morning. It'll be the
same anyway."
"Okay," Gloria nodded, feeling that Daniel's words made sense.
Even if she was anxious, it was just not the right time for any of them to be addressing the elephant in
the room.
"Let's go to bed." Daniel led Gloria upstairs.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared had already gone to Nolan's room.
Nolan was playing the same game as before. Although they knew there might be a problem, they had
to continue watching him play to figure if their suspicions could be confirmed.
Nicole's gaze was fixed on the computer screen as she watched Nolan play with great enthusiasm.
Despite the possibility that the game could very well be a trap of some sort, nobody could deny that it
was well-made and fun for Nolan to spend his time on.
Nicole then bit her lip and reminded Nolan, "Take your time."
"Mommy, this game is quite fun, but why am I the only one who is playing it? When I asked the other
kids in school, all of them said they don't have it," Nolan asked Nicole while he played.
"Yeah, Mommy. The other kids said they haven’t even heard of it," Lana chimed in, also curious about
why they were the only one who had it.
After glancing at the two, Nicole softly explained, "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that they haven't come
across it."
"Will this game be promoted in the future?" Lana tilted her little head, focusing on the computer screen.
It was interesting for Lana to watch Nolan play, though she herself did not understand the rules of the
game and how to play it.
"It seems unlikely." Nolan frowned. "The player experience is good, but the difficulty is just too high. If I
weren't good at hacking..."
It was then that Nolan stopped mid-sentence as if he had just realized that something was amiss.
The fact that this game required hacking skills suddenly dawned upon him. If the game was given to Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
other kids, they would not be able to play it at all.
Nicole narrowed her eyes there and then. She knew Nolan had discovered the issue as well, but she
did not know what he would make of it.
Biting her lip, she patted Nolan on the shoulder. "Take a
break if you're tired."
