My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2771

However, June seemed to have also realized what was going on; she seemed to have finally understood why Stanley would be here. Still, she was a little puzzled because she knew he was supposed to be preparing for his engagement with Cherry.

As these thoughts raced through her mind, she could not help but shift her gaze to Nicole, who saw the frown of disapproval on her face. This gave Nicole a hunch that June was probably thinking that Stanley was cheating on Cherry.

Upon realizing that, Nicole shook her head, signaling June not to worry and that they should let Stanley deal with his personal issues himself.

Both June and Lulu approached Nicole after sensing that there was more hot gossip around the corner. "What's going on? Do you know something that we don't?"

"I can only tell you that Stanley and Cherry's engagement is all just smoke and mirror. Still, I must ask that you keep it a secret for now. Nobody should know about this, not even Samuel and Spencer," Nicole said to them.

"Oh, got it." June nodded. "Don't worry, I'm not going to tell Samuel anything. If he knows, Dad and Mom will too."

Nicole nodded in return, indicating that what June said was exactly what she thought.

"What are you guys talking about?" Samuel leaned in, having heard his name being mentioned seconds ago.

"Nothing." June gave him the side-eye and followed up with a smile. "Go on and have some fun."

"Oh." Samuel nodded without thinking much about it and continued chatting with the others.

Lulu turned to eye Spencer, and upon noticing that Spencer was looking the other way, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she asked Nicole, "What's going on? It's only been a few days and there's already such a shocking update?"

"Yeah. Even if we keep it a secret now, the others will find out sooner or later," June chimed in.

"Cherry will be leaving in a few days, so we'll reveal the truth after that," Nicole explained.

June nodded in understanding. "I see. Stanley has sacrificed a lot for her, it seems."

It was obvious that Stanley was simply helping Cherry out. Not only did it cause a misunderstanding between him and Tia, but in the end, Stanley would also be left to deal with the repercussions of the sweet little lie they had been feeding everyone after she had left. He would soon be the person doing all the explaining to both families: his and Cherry's.

Stanley looked at Tia, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was rendered speechless; he could not find the words to say to her.

He was fine moments ago. In fact, he had even brought her out here out of impulse. But now, he had no idea what to tell her.

After hesitating for a good five minutes, Stanley asked, "Are you feeling sick?".

This caught Tia off guard. 'W-What does he mean?'

"I noticed that you didn't look too well, so if you're feeling sick, I'll take you home." Stanley said, having conjured up a lame excuse to get her out of here.

The fact that June's colleagues were treating Tia extra-well bothered him severely.

"I-I'm good." Tia lowered her head again, her voice carrying within it a hint of disappointment.
