?Chapter 952:


    Although such scenes had be a regr part of thest three years, they still moved Harlee.


    Harlee quickly returned upstairs, freshened up, and sshed her face with cold water to fully wake herself.


    After drying off, she stared at her reflection in the mirror, lightly touching her cheeks. She resolved not to let her family worry any longer…


    With a determined hand ced over her heart, Harlee appeared to make a silent vow.


    Later on, seated at the dining table and observing the spread before her, Harlee realized everyone had waited to eat until she joined them.


    Lonnie ced a heart-shaped omelet on her te.


    “Try this. Only you and your mom get these special ones!” He gave Harlee a wink, his expression both humorous and charming.


    “Dad, did you make all of this?” Harlee asked.


    “Of course…” Lonnie said, puffing out his chest.


    But when he caught Harlee’s earnest gaze, he hesitated and corrected himself.


    “Well, not all of it. I cooked some, and La did the rest.”


    Harlee dered, “Then I’ll have what you cooked.”


    Lonnie responded with a smile, “These three dishes were made by me. If it’s not enough, I can cook more of your favorites.”


    Harlee grinned.


    “It’s plenty already.”

    Lonnie chuckled.


    “No worries. If there’s any left, your brothers will finish it off. They love it.” Harlee’s siblings were rendered speechless.


    Harlee took a sip of the soup. It was warm, perfectly tempered.


    Clearly, Lonnie had made sure to let it cool before bringing it to her.


    Seeing they all gazed at her, Harlee lightened the mood by joking, “Why are you all staring? Someone might think we just got reunited after two decades.”


    Back when they had just reconnected, their cautiousness stemmed from a fear she might not adapt well to the Sanderson family dynamics.


    “I just find pleasure in watching you enjoy the meal,” Lonnie said,dling another serving of soup for Sk before he finally began to eat.


    Harlee nodded.


    “Then I’ll make sure to seem even happier eating.”


    Laughter filled the room again at Harlee’sment.


    Lonnie surveyed the family gathered around the table, filled with a profound sense of appreciation. It had been a while since they all shared a meal like this. They should make it a more frequent asion.


    Brenton and Kareem engaged in a lengthy discussion in the study after their midnight snack, yet despite staying up through the night, they appeared energized the next morning.


    After breakfast, Brenton and Kareem exchanged a knowing look and subtly signaled for Harlee to join them in the study once Lonnie and Sk had left the kitchen. They then made their way upstairs.
