Chapter 1906


    In the end, Keh and Louisa could only snag seats further away.


    David and rk exchanged a look, both utterly dumbfounded.


    All they wanted was to join Be for a casual breakfast. Was it really necessary topete for seats


    like this?


    Sean wasn''t ready to back down. He stepped forward and said, “Grandpa, at your age, it''s impressive


    enough that you can serve yourself. Let me help Be with her te.”


    “You little rascal, using your concern for my age just to snag a better seat.” Bernard feigned anger.


    “I meant you should just serve yourself…”


    “Go sit over there with the young ones!” Bernard wouldn''t listen.


    Sean tried to argue his point, “But Be is one of the younger generation too.”


    “In our house, Be gets the VIP treatment! Move along.”


    With Bernard’s word, the brothers had no choice but to sit farther away... casting envious nces as


    everyone else made a fuss over Be.


    “I can already picture the family phototer.” rk sighed, feeling his chances slip away.


    “Forget the family photo, Mom and Dad said we''re all decorating together after breakfast, pitching in to


    decorate the home. If you want to be next to Be, it looks like you''re out of luck.” Chaselmented as


    well.


    “Maybeter you two can distract them. We could take turns keeping Bepany for five minutes


    each?” David suggested. “You guys could take the grandparents to decorate in a different room, and


    we can stay with Be to decorate.”


    “In your dreams!” rk wasn''t falling for that one.


    At Forena Vi.


    Martin sat at the dining table, decorating a gingerbread house for Serena.


    Serena sat beside him, watching as he meticulously added icing to the structure and couldn''t help but


    praise, “You''re really good at this.”


    It was the first time Martin had tried his hand at gingerbread house decoration, learning alongside the


    chef. The chefs nearby were assisting with the icing, ensuring each design was Serena''s favorite.


    “I''ve never seen him decorate a gingerbread house for anyone before,” Dora couldn’t resist saying.


    “You really are something special to him, Serena. He’s broken so many of his own rules for you!”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "Who knew he would nail gingerbread decorating on his first attempt? He seems to seed in


    everything he does. Serena''s quite lucky," June chimed in with praise.


    Just as Martin was about to respond, his phone on the table began to ring. He nced at the screen,


    his expression clouding over momentarily before he wiped his hands and said to Serena, “I need to


    take this call.”


    Serena nodded in understanding.


    Normally, Martin would take calls without leaving her side.


    But this time, he walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, slid his finger across the screen, and


    whispered, “Mom.”


    Serena could guess who was calling just by reading his lips, but she kept her face serene and


    unruffled.


    The voice on the other end seemed furious, and Martin, fearing Serena might overhear, turned to


    nce back at her.


    Serena’s gaze remained fixed on him, a look of empathetic kindness on her face.


    Martin tried to keep his expression calm, not wanting to let her catch on to any trouble.


    “Mom, I’ll be there soon.”


    As soon as Martin finished his sentence, the person on the other end of the linepletely lost her


    patience and handed the phone to someone else. Martin heard his father''s voice and had to whisper,


    “Dad.”


    The man on the phone scolded him hard and brought up some issues, ultimately leaving Martin no


    choice but to concede, “I’m on my way now.”
