"I always hope you can have the best, so naturally, I have to care a bit more," Gloria said with a smile, her lips curling up gently.
Nicole, linking her arm with Jared's, responded, "I've already got the best." "But it's different, you know. You have to wear a wedding dress at least once in your lifetime, walk hand in hand with your other half toward a new life under the blessings of friends and family," Gloria said with a loving smile.
In her heart, she thought, 'Besides, it's not like Jared and Nicole are unwilling to have a wedding; it's just that various things have been holding them up.' "Gloria, I think we should put aside Nicole's wedding for now and focus on Stanley and Tia's wedding," Lulu said with a laugh, helping Nicole out, and then she winked at Nicole.
Speaking of which, their wedding date is indeed approaching. How are the preparations going?" Nicole understood and smoothly changed the subject following Lulu's lead.
"Oh, everything is ready. I'll confirm the final arrangements with you and Emma tomorrow," Gloria said, her attention successfully diverted. She turned to Tia, "Tia, if you have any thoughts, feel free to share them with me." "I think everything is fine as it is," Tia said, somewhat shyly.
"Mom, everything that needed to be prepared has been prepared. Don't worry," Stanley added.
Everyone was concerned about their affair, and they truly felt that everything had been adequately prepared.
"Everyone else has moved out, leaving just the two of you behind. We just feel that we shouldn't shortchange you," Gloria said contentedly, "As long as you're happy, that's good."
Despite having a new house, Stanley and Tia chose to live in the Riddle residence after their wedding.
"It's really more than enough," Tia affirmed again.
For her, being with Stanley was truly satisfying. The Riddle family had been very kind to her, providing more than enough, and she felt no sense of debt.
"Then we'll just look forward to celebrating your wedding," Lulu said with a laugh.
"Don't worry, we'll prepare big gifts for you all when the time comes," Samuel chimed in.
"There's no need, really," Tia said, somewhat embarrassed. They really didn't need to prepare any gifts.
June voiced her disagreement, "How can that be? We need to prepare gifts, and not just any gifts, but substantial ones." "Exactly, they're all carefully selected by US," Lulu added, nodding in agreement. Watching everyone chatting and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere, Gloria and Daniel exchanged a glance, their eyes twinkling with mirth. Having their children around was truly wonderful.
As it got later, Spencer and Samuel, along with Lulu and June, said their goodbyes and left.
Stanley escorted Tia back to the rear courtyard, while Daniel and Gloria retired to their room to rest.
The living room quieted down somewhat as Nolan and Lana turned off the
TV and joined Nicole and Jared.
"Daddy, Mommy, let's go rest too," Lana suggested, pulling on Jared and Nicole.
"Okay, is Lana tired?" Nicole asked, gently stroking Lana's head.
Lana looked up at Nicole and nodded. "A little."
Nicole smiled tenderly, leading Nolan and Lana, "Alright, let's go to bed."
The family ascended the stairs to their rooms, and after tucking Nolan and Lana into bed, Nicole and Jared retreated to their own room.
"Tomorrow we should hear back from Zane. Once we get confirmation from his end, we can start our plan. Are you ready?" Jared asked softly, running his fingers through Nicole's hair. "I'm all set for action," Nicole responded with a smile, her lips curving up.
She knew this must have been part of Jared's well-thought-out plan, arranged over a long time, and she was confident that tomorrow would bring good news.
