The younger adults gradually joined the kids' area, drawn by the infectious laughter and joyous sounds.
Preston and Ellar quickly became one with the children, engaging in a lively game of hide-and-seek.
With a cloth covering his eyes, Ellar tried to catch the others within a set boundary.
Sean and Jane leaned against each other, watching everyone play with joy. Sally snuggled in Steve's
embrace, her hand on her abdomen. "Steve, our child will be like them too, right?"
"Yes, they’ll be just as happy and joyful," Steve replied, kissing Sally lightly on the temple.
Sally blushed, smiling shyly, her cheeks flushing.
Spencer, Lulu, Samuel, and June stood with Nicole and Jared, watching Nolan and Lana with
amusement.
"Looks like they're having a blast today,’ Spencer said.
"Yeah, they seem really happy," Samuel added.
Lulu nodded, smiling. "This is probably the happiest they've been since they got back.’
Nicole smiled warmly. "It's been a great day, hasn't it?"
novelbinJared squeezed Nicole's hand gently. ' And there will be many more to come."
Nicole looked up at Jared, her happiness evident.
After a big dinner, the kids' families arrived to take them home.Maximillian and Benjamin left, and Dillon and Karen said, "We're heading out too. Don't forget to visit
Dad at the Riddle family manor when you can."
"We won't," Dexter and Daniel promised.
Karen turned to Gloria and Emma. "If you need anything, just let me know."
"We should definitely meet up for tea sometime," Emma suggested.
"Sounds wonderful. I'll be looking forward to it,” Karen said, feeling warmly welcomed.
After Dillon and Karen left, Dexter's family also said their goodbyes. With most of the guests gone, the
remaining few began to prepare to depart.
"Goodbye," Nolan and Lana said politely.
"See you later!" Sean, Jane, Steve, and Sally replied cheerfully.
Once they had all gotten into their cars and driven off, Spencer, Samuel, Lulu, and June also departed.
"I'll take Mrs. Wallace Sr. back to rest now," Tia said after bidding goodbye to Daniel, Gloria, and the
others, ready to wheel Mrs. Wallace Sr. away.
"I’ll walk you out," Stanley offered, stepping forward to escort them.
The lively living room quickly grew quiet.
Nicole, holding Nolan and Lana's hands, said, "Let's go open some presents now."
"Yay!" Lana exclaimed eagerly.
The pile of presents for Lana and Nolan was so large it almost formed a small mountain.As they reached the pile of gifts, Nicole began opening them with Nolan and Lana.
Halfway through, Nolan noticed an unfamiliar box and asked, "Mommy, who's this gift from?" He didn't
recall receiving it.
After a glance, Nicole picked up the box and another box from the pile and handed one to each child.
"These are from Lawrence."
"Godpa!" Both Nolan and Lana were surprised, instinctively looking around.
