Chapter 1828
Suddenly, the living room turned silent. Tia became so sensitive to her surroundings that she could actually hear her own heartbeat, "Mr. Riddle..."
She wanted to speak, but she had no idea what to say.
Stanley carefully looked at the blisters on her fingers and mumbled under his breath, "We've got to take care of this as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's going to hurt a lot."
"Okay...ouch," Tia nodded but she frowned when Stanley touched her wound with the cotton swab.
'TH be gentler," Stanley's voice sounded so warm, that it instantly calmed Tia down.
'What's going on... I already have somebody else on my mind... But why is my heart beating like crazy now that Mr. Riddle cares for me?'
Tia felt very awkward. She did not dare to speak, and she even almost stopped breathing.
She only opened her mouth after Stanley applied the gel to her fingers and patched her up, "Thank you, Mr. Riddle."
Stanley shook his head, "Don't mention it. You're like my little sister. It's only right for us to take good care of you."
Tia immediately nodded and she was relieved.
'Ah, Mr. Riddle is only treating me as his little sister. I'm so glad."
"I'll go back to the room now then. I guess grandma is going to sleep soon."
"Sure," Stanley nodded and watched Tia leave.
Stanley got a little worried as he looked at Tia's back...
He wondered to himself, 'What's up with me? Was I doing too much....?'
At night, Nicole took a shower and went to her bed. She had no idea why, but she felt a little nervous when she thought about how her family was finally going to meet with Jared's family tomorrow even though everything was already planned.
She just could not help but feel perturbed when she was about to get married for real.
Then, she received a call from Lloyd.
Nicole hesitated, but she did not answer it.
Lloyd continued, "The production team agreed to let Jared pull out his investment and they're fine with you not participating in the show anymore, but...’
Lloyd stuck on the last word he said and sighed, "To me, Lukewarm only has one female lead, and that's you. So, I'm not going to erase any scenes that you've filmed. Even though the length won't be long enough to produce a television series. Lukewarm will be aired as a movie instead."
Nicole frowned as she was not expecting Lloyd to be so stubborn.
"I want to keep the good memories we had in this show. You won't blame me for doing this, right?" Lloyd asked fondly.
Nicole responded indifferently, "Whatever."
Lloyd's heart sank, 'I guess what I did hurt Nicole very deeply but... I really love her, and I just couldn't help myself. Am I wrong for being in love?
He forced a smile by suppressing his sadness, "Thank you. I'm still going to email you whatever I found out recently... Don't worry."
Nicole shook her head, "It's fine. Jared is already on it."
Lloyd gave her some useful leads before, but Nicole believed that Jared could take care of the rest.
"B-but..." Llyod still wanted to say something.
