?Chapter 1720:


    Shari let out a long breath and nodded slowly. “At least you’re good to me. Emmett, don’t you think this house is too small, though? Once the babies arrive, there won’t be enough space.”


    Their house was a small three-story residence provided by the military, which wasrge enough for most people.


    Emmett blinked in confusion. “Isn’t this house fine? It has three floors. Even if we had two more kids and a couple of servants, we’d still have enough space. Don’t overthink it. Let’s just live peacefully here.”


    But Shari wasn’t having it. “Your second son is filthy rich. He can easily give us a bigger house. This ce is too old. I don’t like it.”


    Emmett considered it for a moment before nodding. “Alright. Next time I see Ethan, I’ll ask if he has a nicer property under his name. We’ll have him give it to us. How does that sound?”


    Shari’s mood lifted once Emmett agreed to her request, and she finally smiled. The house they had now was nice, but far too small and outdated for her liking.


    “Good. Do it soon. I want to move to a new house before the twins are born. Our kids deserve to be born in a big house. Their brother is the richest man in the world. How can they grow up in a cramped ce like this?” she said.


    Emmett nodded again, taking her words as perfectly reasonable.


    Ethan and Brenna’s house was located in the same prestigious neighborhood as the Harper family. They headed straight to the Harper family’s residence after leaving Emmett’s ce.


    Originally, Giselle and Shepard had dreamed of traveling the world after retirement. But when Lilith became pregnant, they decided to stay home and help with the baby.


    For the past two years, they had been raising little Kalel Harper themselves. Although there were servants at home, the old couple preferred to care for their grandson on their own.

    Now, at a year and a half old, Kalel was a bundle of energy, wobbling on unsteady legs in the living room.


    “Well, hello there!” Brenna scooped him up, nting a kiss on his chubby cheek. “Kalel, can you say ‘auntie’?”


    Kalel blinked his big, round eyes and said, “Auntie!”


    Ethan pulled out a toy gun from a foreign brand. “Say ‘uncle.''”


    Kalel’s eyes widened with joy. “Uncle!”


    Ethan chuckled and handed him the toy.


    Shepard and Giselle emerged from the kitchen at that moment, their faces brightening at the sight of Ethan and Brenna. “We heard you were back! We told the chef to prepare all your favorite dishes. Brenna, let’s chat over here,” Giselle said.


    Brenna set Kalel down and followed Giselle into the living room, not expecting to find other guests seated there. It was Jalen and his family.


    “Brenna! I heard you just got back from your wedding trip. Wee back!” Jalen greeted Brenna with a smile.


    Brenna’s expression stiffened for a split second. “What brings you here?”


    Jalen exined, “There’s a change in district leadership this year. I’ve been working at the district office for a long time, and now, I’m up for promotion to district chief. I was hoping your father might lend me a hand.”


    The moment those words left his mouth, everything clicked for Brenna.
