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.

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.
