Chapter 2379
"These little rascals really gave me a hard time worrying about them, but thank God, they're all grown up now,"
Gloria said as she looked at her sons, her gaze finally falling on Stanley.
'Sean and Steve have already gotten married, and now Spencer and Samuel are about to start their families as
well. Stanley is the only one left. Why hasn't he found a girlfriend yet? Is it possible that he has neglected his love
life because he has been too focused on his work?' she wondered.
Sensing that his mother was scrutinizing him, Stanley felt a sense of pressure weighing down on him at once. He
subconsciously avoided her gaze and lowered his head as he continued eating in an attempt to minimize his
presence in the dining hall.
He knew very well that he had Spencer and Samuel to face the music with him in the past, but now, he was all
alone. This meant that he would be the only one left to deal with the pressure of getting soon. This had been
foreseen long ago.

Stanley shot her a grateful look, for he was truly worried that Gloria would start pressuring him to get married right
now.
Gloria turned to Nicole and agreed, "Alright, let's not rush
Stanley for now. Let's talk about you.”
Hearing that, Nicole's lips began to twitch. 'Did I just dig a grave for herself? Can I take back what I just said?'
"Mom, Spencer and I haven't even had our wedding yet. Don't you have too much on your plate already?" Samuel
reminded Gloria.
He thought Gloria would already be content planning both the weddings for him and June, as well as Spencer and
Lulu. 'Why is she already worrying about those who aren't about to get married?'
Hearing that, Gloria gave Samuel a stern look and said, "I don’t even think I've had enough with the both of you
getting married at the same time."
"Please, Mom. We'll be worried about you too. Besides, if you keep pushing like this, some people might develop a
fear of marriage. Wouldn't that give you even more of a headache?" Samuel gestured toward Stanley with his
mouth, shifting all the attention to Stanley again.
'Stanley is dealing with this all on his own now, I guess,' Samuel thought.
It was then that Stanley shot a fierce glare at Samuel, his eyes carrying a hint of fury and frustration.
Samuel innocently shrugged, indicating he was also helpless in the face of it all. After all, Gloria was nothing short of
intimidating whenever she decided to exercise her power.
"Mom, we'll plan for our honeymoon ourselves. We want to go to a remote island where no one knows us, and just
relax, " Spencer said to Gloria.
"Of course, whatever you'd like." Gloria looked at Lulu affectionately. "If you have any ideas, feel free to share
them. After all, this wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it should be exactly as you desire."
"I have no other requests, Mrs. Riddle." Lulu's cheeks flushed red as she felt a little embarrassed at the mention of
it.
Both Spencer and his family had treated her very well, and all the preparations were well thought out. She really

"What about you?" Gloria looked at June and asked softly.
She genuinely liked two of her future daughters-in-law, so she did not want them to feel any sense of discomfort or
awkwardness.
"I don't have any either." June's cheeks became bright red as she promptly answered.
"Don't hesitate, you two. After all, we're going to be a family," Gloria reminded the both of them.
Then, the both of them nodded in unison. "Of course, Mrs. Riddle."
As they chatted about the wedding preparations, Gloria naturally forgot about Stanley's situation.
Stanley could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Unconsciously, he turned his gaze to Tia. Then, their eyes coincidentally met, causing the pair to freeze for a
moment.
Tia's cheeks flushed as she awkwardly averted her gaze and continued to eat silently.
Stanley, on the other hand, paused for a moment, whereupon he looked away with a strange look on his face.
This exchange of glances did not escape Nicole's eagle eyes as a faint smile crossed her face.
"Eat," a gentle voice reached her ears.
Nicole lowered her head and found that her plate had been filled with various dishes she liked.
