Chapter 2666

"Mrs. Wallace Sr. How have you been recently?" Tia asked. She looked embarrassed as she met Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s

eyes.

"Don't worry about it, Tia. I'm fine. Luna's been here taking care of me. Please don't pretend you're fine when

you're not in the future, okay? It's worrying," said Mrs. Wallace Sr. with some agony in her voice.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. had overheard that Tia had gotten pneumonia and was at the brink of death due to her delay in

getting treatment.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry everyone, especially Mrs. Wallace Sr." Tia had guilt written all over her face.

Stanley spoke up and warned, "If you don't want anyone to worry about you, please tell us if there's anything

troubling you."

"Well, enough about that. Everyone, let's dig in," he then said, clapping to get everyone's attention.

Everyone quickly changed the topic and started chatting amongst one another. Tia sneakily took a glance at

Stanley, an unreadable look was on her face.

'Stanley had been taking care of me for the past two days. I must've been a hindrance to his work, but nobody ever

brought it up,' Tia thought to herself. She suddenly felt pressure on her, though nobody asked her upfront about her

relationship with Stanley.

"You've just been discharged from the hospital. You should be eating a healthy diet for the time being. No greasy or

fried food either," said Stanley.

It was then that Tia realized that the dish laid out in front of her was specially prepared for her.

"Thank you, Mr. Riddle," said Tia in an awkward voice, her cheeks flushed red.

"Goodness! You guys have been friends for so many years. Why are you still addressing him like that?" Gloria asked

with a raised eyebrow.

Flabbergasted, Tia dropped her fork onto the table. "Pardon? n

"Look at you, calling us so formally. We're out strangers, honey," said Gloria. She then turned to look at Nicole."

Nicole, you ought to do a better job in persuading her to stop addressing us like that. It feels like there's a gap

between us." She sighed.

"Mom, it's actually no big deal," said Nicole, dumbfounded by the situation.

'It's just how Tia is comfortable in addressing everyone. Why should there be an issue about it?’ she thought to

herself.

"Of course you don't care. That's you, not me," Gloria retorted. She rolled her eyes at Nicole angrily before turning

to look at Mrs. Wallace Sr. "Mrs. Wallace Sr., why don't you decide? I don't feel as comfortable being addressed as

Mrs. Riddle."

Mrs. Wallace Sr. was taken aback by the sudden inclusion into the conversation. "Um..."

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole for a while, reminiscing the days when she first adopted Nicole as one of her own.

Nicole had been under her care for the longest time and ever since Nicole's disappearance a few years ago. The

Riddle family had stepped in and taken care of her but the issue at hand was tricky for Mrs. Wallace Sr.

"Tia, in all honesty, it doesn't matter what or how you address anyone. I think you can try calling him his name as a

step forward," said Gloria, making up her mind.

Nicole nodded along as she did not want to put up a fight with her mother.

"I'm here to take care of Mrs. Wallace Sr. and..." Tia trailed off. 'How can I simply just change the way I've been

calling him for so long? Stanley?'

"You can call me Gloria," said Gloria, unable to restrain herself. She noticed how much Stanley cared about Tia. If

he had shown interest in Tia earlier on, she would have set them up on a date. Instead, Gloria's sudden input had

made things far too complicated.

Suddenly, Stanley spoke up, "Call me Stanley."

Stanley was also kind of done with being called "Mr. Riddle" all the time. It was like a gift from above that granted

him this chance to correct her and break down the barriers between them.

All eyes were on Tia as they were looking at her expectantly. Tia bit her lip hard before taking a deep breath.

"Gloria, Stanley."

"And me too!" chirped Daniel, understanding his wife's intention and plan.

Gloria's face was filled with satisfaction and Daniel was grinning from one ear to the other.

"Daniel," squeaked Tia.
