My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 3132

Daniel had actually heard some things at the Riddle family manor and wanted to ask Nicole and Jared about them. But he forgot that it might cause Gloria unnecessary worry. "Really?" Gloria asked, sounding doubtful.

"Yes, I'm actually just worried about our children being overworked. I thought I'd remind them not to exhaust themselves," Daniel continued.

Gloria nodded. 'I see."

Then, turning to Nicole, Gloria said, "But you do seem to have lost some weight recently. Is work too demanding?"

"Mom, it's been busy lately, but we can handle it. Don't worry," Nicole reassured with a smile, as if there really was nothing troubling her.

"Eat more," Gloria said, serving Nicole more food with a look of concern.

Nicole glanced at Daniel. "Dad, don't worry. Together, we'll manage just fine."

She knew Daniel's concerns weren't limited to business matters; he probably also knew about the situation with Everett.

"That's good to hear," Daniel nodded, understanding that Nicole was telling him there were others who could help her, easing his worries. Then, Daniel looked toward Jared. The two men exchanged a glance, and though nothing was said, their mutual understanding was clear. Daniel hoped Jared would take good care of Nicole, and Jared, of course, intended to protect Nicole diligently.

After dinner, Stanley returned with Nolan and Lana.

"Mommy, Daddy," Nolan and Lana approached Nicole and Jared, diving into their embrace.

Nicole gently touched their heads. "Did you go to play with Great-grandma Wallace?"

"Yeah, Great-grandma Wallace even told US stories," Lana said, looking up with a smile.

Stanley joined them, sitting near the couch. "I saw Mrs. Wallace Sr. seemed a bit tired, so I let her rest earlier and brought them back." "Mhm," Nicole nodded in response.

"Stanley, have you and Tia decided on anything? The house is almost ready; it's time to set a date," Gloria reminded Stanley.

Stanley sighed, looking somewhat troubled. "Actually, the issue isn't with me and Tia, it's Mrs. Wallace Sr."

"What's going on with Mrs. Wallace Sr.?" Nicole asked, puzzled.

"Tia wants Mrs. Wallace Sr. to move to the front yard for easier care, but Mrs. Wallace Sr. doesn't want to move, so we're still trying to convince her," Stanley explained. Gloria nodded. "Tia is a good girl, caring about her."

"Yes," Stanley added with difficulty, "But Mrs. Wallace Sr. said she's used to the quiet of the backyard and prefers to stay there. She suggests hiring someone to look after her." "Tia is worried about leaving her care to someone else, so they haven't reached a final agreement," Stanley said, shaking his head.

Nicole pondered for a moment. "Let's respect Grandma's wishes. I'll talk to Tia."

"Is it really okay to leave Mrs. Wallace Sr. in the backyard?" Gloria asked, concerned.

"It will be fine," Nicole assured after a thought, "We can hire a professional caregiver for Grandma. It shouldn't be a problem, and they can keep an eye on her health."

Pausing briefly, Nicole added, 'Tia can also visit and take care of Grandma during the day when she's free. That should be reassuring."

"That does seem like a solution that satisfies everyone," Stanley agreed, confident that Tia would accept if Nicole suggested it.

Gloria also added, "Indeed, it's a good solution."

"I'll have the butler arrange for the caregiver," Daniel also agreed.

Soon, everyone concurred with the arrangement, reaching a unanimous decision.

"It's getting late; let's all rest," Daniel suggested to the group.
