Chapter 3095


    "Okay," the children agreed, making their way to their designated area and settling down.


    The table was full of snacks, fruit, and pastries, with lots of toys around. Nn and Lana kept their


    friends entertained, eating and ying together.


    Meanwhile, the grown-ups sat on the couches in the living room.


    "I didn''t think you both would make it," Nicole said, ncing at Benjamin and Maximillian.


    "On a day this fun, we wouldn''t miss it for the world,’ Benjamin and Maximillian replied, smiling.


    Even though the younger ones tried to keep the birthday party a secret from them, once they found out,


    there was no way they wouldn''te. Not only did they show up, but they also brought gifts for Nn


    and Lana.


    "Yeah, your dad and I were thinking of just telling them, but so many people ended uping. Good


    thing we were ready," Gloria said, smiling at the crowded room.


    The n was for a simple celebration with close family, but the enthusiastic turnout made the party


    even more fun.


    "Gloria, I’m their uncle," Er said proudly.


    "Haha, yes, you''re also their uncle," Gloriaughed in response.


    Emma looked at the children and said, "Nn and Lana are just so lovable. When will I get to hold my


    grandchild?"


    "That''s something you should ask Emery," Gloria replied, turning to look at Emery and his wife, who


    seemed somewhat shy, unsure of how to respond. "Mom, even though you admire Gloria, there''s no


    rush. Let''s just see how things go," Er interjected, trying to shift the focus away from Emery.


    "Yes, let''s just take things as theye," Emery agreed, before turning to Eliar and asking, "And when


    are you getting married? Sooner rather thanter, perhaps?"


    "After I''ve just helped you out, you turn against me?" Er eximed, feigning dismay.


    The whole family burst intoughter, enjoying the yful banter.


    Emery responded, "I just think it''s time you considered your own matters."


    "Alright, then let Mom focus on your wife''s belly instead," Er quickly surrendered. It wasn''t that he


    didn''t want to marry; it was that the person he wanted to marry already had someone else in their


    heart.


    Feeling a bit mncholy, Er sighed and stood up. "I''d better go y with the kids."


    "That child," Emma shook her head, amused yet sympathetic.


    Seeing this, Karen tried tofort Emma. "You should rx. I have it even worse. At least Emery has


    a wife. Preston doesn''t even have a girl around him."


    "Hey, why bring me into this?" Preston protested. "Please, leave me out of this. I''m out of here."


    Watching Preston beat a hasty retreat, everyone couldn''t help butugh again.


    "These kids, when we talk about marrying them off, they act like we''re threatening them," Karen


    muttered, casting a secretive nce at Preston.


    "Don''t worry, when the timees, they won''t be able to avoid it. Just like Stanley used to give me

    headaches, but look at him now," Gloriaforted them.


    "Speaking of which, it might be time to consider setting a date for Stanley and Tia''s wedding."


    Emma, Karen, and Gloria then engaged in a lively discussion.


    Stanley quietly took Tia, steering Mrs. Wace Sr. toward the kids'' area, finding that spot more


    appealing.


    "You two," Mrs. Wace Sr. understood their intent and smiled. "Don''t worry, we''ll listen to what you two


    decide."


    "Thank you," Stanley and Tia expressed their gratitude.


    Arriving at the kids'' area, they saw Preston and Er leading the children in their joyful y.


    Maximillian and Benjamin exchanged pleasantries; Dillon, Dexter, and Daniel joined in, adding to the


    conversation from time to time.
