Chapter 2891

"They're there with her too. Said they wanted to play for a while." Stanley shrugged.

"Oh." Lulu turned to look at Nicole. "I suppose Nolan and Lana prefer hanging out with their Aunt Tia."

"Are you jealous right now?" June smirked and teased her.

Trying to appear as if she was unaffected by June's remark, Lulu smiled. "Jealous? Nope. Not to that extent." "You're all our aunts. Of course we like all of you." Nolan and Lana interrupted while pushing Mrs. Wallace Sr. in.

"Hey, Mrs. Wallace Sr.," everyone greeted in unison.

"You're all back," Mrs. Wallace Sr. replied, and gave everyone present a loving smile.

Once the little ones had positioned Mrs. Wallace Sr. next to one of the couches in the living room, Lulu smiled and looked at them. "You cheeky little ones. You went out there to invite someone over, huh?" Raising her head proudly and unapologetically, Lana replied, "Yeah, I knew you're all here the moment I saw your cars."

"I figured that you all came back here to pay Aunt Tia a visit, so we went to the back to invite great-grandma over," Nolan echoed.

In Nolan's understanding, their Aunt Tia could only come over if Mrs. Wallace Sr. was invited.

"You are really clever." Lulu nodded, before giving them an affectionate smile.

"I see that everyone is here, so let's have dinner." Gloria invited.

Then, the entire family gathered around the dining table and sat down, after which they began eating.

Gales of hearty laughter and joyful chatter filled the room, and before long, the topic of conversation shifted to the new couple of Stanley and Tia, as well as the renovation of the former's room. Feeling a little embarrassed and not knowing what to say, Tia blushed and kept her head down.

Upon noticing how uncomfortable she was, Stanley scooped her some mashed potatoes, and in an effort to calm her down, he whispered, "Don't be nervous. Though the renovation is happening soon, we're the ones who get to decide when we're both ready to get married."

"Okay." Tia nodded gently, her nerves easing up by a little.

"It's nice that the both of you have chosen to stay at home. You can keep Mom, Dad, and Mrs. Wallace Sr. company, and we can all be at ease." June nodded in approval of their decision.

"Yeah. Besides, Tia isn't totally on board with the idea of leaving Mrs. Wallace Sr. in the care of someone else. Not to mention, I prefer staying here with my parents too." Stanley nodded, having carefully considered this decision.

All of a sudden, the housekeeper came in, her face scrunched up in worry. "Mr. and Mrs. Riddle? Someone sent you a package."

"Who do you think sent it?" Daniel tilted his head in puzzlement. 'Who would send a package to us at this time?'

"I didn't see anyone. They left right after ringing the doorbell. The moment I opened the door, the only thing I saw was this..." The housekeeper lifted the package up, giving everyone a clear view of it. "Open it and take a look, then." Daniel motioned, feeling that opening the package delivered to them was the best way to find out what it was.

"Okay." The housekeeper nodded, and marched out of the dining room with the item in hand.

When she walked past Nicole, however, the latter glanced over at her and stood up. "No. Wait a minute."

"Can I help you, Ms. Riddle?" The housekeeper stopped in her tracks and asked.

"Give it to me."

Without further elaboration, Nicole approached the housekeeper, grabbed the package, and pressed her right ear against the box, listening for any sounds that might emanate from within.

All of a sudden, the frown on her face vanished, her eyes widened, and she sprinted out of the house with the package held firmly in her arms.

"What's going on?" Lulu immediately stood up, about to chase after Nicole.

Her gut feeling told her that Nicole was panicked by what she had just heard, and her strange behavior only served to confirm it. 'Why did she look like she was in danger or something?' "Stay back." Jared flashed his palm to her, stopping her from going after Nicole.

"But..."

Seeing this, Lulu realized that she was right. Something was indeed amiss.
