My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2714

Stanley dared not look back, as he had caught a glimpse of how depressed Tia looked when he was on

his way out. All it would take was a second of hesitation, and Stanley might change his mind and stay

back.

'Let it be. Perhaps Cherry could help me out. If Tia cries for me, I will do my best to create a future for

the both of us. But if she doesn’t, I could only give her my blessings and leave her,' he concluded.

After Stanley had vanished from the doorway, June and Lulu's whispering became even louder.

"Why is Cherry so rude?" Lulu asked.

"She looked alright the last time we saw her, though.

Sheesh, I guess you can never judge a book by its cover," June said with a hint of disapproval.

"Perhaps they're in their honeymoon phase. People tend to act differently when they're in that phase,

you know," Nicole stated calmly, though her gaze went to tell June and Lulu to quit it with the topic.

Fortunately, the duo picked up on Nicole's signal almost instantly, and proceeded to change the subject

in a jiffy.

Judging by how Tia looked, it was best if they did not add fuel to the fire.

"I'm done," Tia stood up, trying to sound calm and composed.

"Are you sure you don't want to have some more?" Gloria asked. "You've been eating very little today."

Tia looked at Gloria and replied, "No thanks. My stomach is full already."

"Alright then," Gloria said, not wanting to push Tia.

Tia did not leave right away once she was done, as she had to wait for Mrs. Wallace Sr. While she

remained seated, Tia could not stop thinking about how Cherry sounded in that phone call with Stanley.

Sharing June and Lulu's opinion on the matter, Tia was in disbelief that Cherry had turned out to be so

pushy and abrasive. Tia was even starting to think that Cherry might have put on a mask before she

got together with Stanley.

The very idea caused her face to blanch as she gritted her teeth. 'If that's the case, will Stanley really

be happy in the future?'

Her head was still in the clouds when Mrs. Wallace Sr., who was done eating by that point, called out to Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

her. "Tia, let's go back."

There was a 30 second delay before Tia stood up and responded, "Yep, alright."

"We'll get going first," Tia said as she bade her farewell to everyone in the hall and pushed Mrs.

Wallace Sr. back to the house in the courtyard.

"It feels like Tia is hurt." Lulu sighed, feeling heartbroken for

Tia.

June nodded in agreement. "Both of them are acting weird."

Nicole followed up by shaking her head in helplessness. "Let them settle it on their own."

Nicole could not understand Stanley's decision either, but as this was an issue between Stanley and

his partner, she had decided to respect his decision anyway.

"What are you talking about?" Gloria asked, not knowing what they were conversing about.

"It's nothing. We're just saying that Stanley has been treating Cherry very well." Lulu beamed at Gloria.

Gloria nodded. "Indeed. That's how women should be treated."

Lulu then breathed a sigh of relief in silence, thinking it was fortunate that Gloria had not overheard

their conversation.

"Eat up," Nicole said, and proceeded to scoop some of the dishes up and place them onto Lulu's plate

to get her to stop talking about it.

Having noticed Nicole's cue, Lulu flashed her a smile and stopped mentioning Stanley and Tia entirely.

After dinner, Jared took the kids upstairs. As June and Lulu had not left the house, Nicole stuck around

and continued chatting with them in the living room.

"Oh, I almost forgot to ask. How are the wedding preparations?" Lulu asked in anticipation.
