The barbecue party went on. The three men ate and grilled while they drank a few bottles of beer in the interim. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Moreover, Benjamin started to sing.
Abel said, “I didn’t know Mr. Benjamin could sing that well. He had vocal talent on par with that of a professional
Emmeline smiled and said. “Ben used to sing for us all the time back on Adelmar Island.”
“Especially on the cruise, with the blue sky, seagulls flying above, and the seawater and waves splashing below, continued Waylon.
“Seagulls would perch on the railing to listen to Ben sing when he was performing.“
Abel said. T’m surprised that Mr. Benjamin could sing this well!”
Benjamin sighed. Those were the good times, but they are now in the past. Even the kids. have gotten so big.
“It’s a pity that I was absent during those times, Abel sighed.
Waylon chuckled and said, “Well, there will be plenty of opportunities to make You have lots of time in the future.”
“Yes, we have plenty of time!”

Abel spun her around and said, “Waylon said we have ample time, and how could we do it without you?”
After they had eaten, Waylon and the kids played the duck, duck, goose game on the lawn. He circled the children while assuming the role of “picker.”
Daisy took on the role of the ‘goose,” leaping to her feet and chasing Waylon around the circles. Waylon avoided being caught by using a variety of amusing moves to get back to the goose spot. The kids were laughing so hard that they could barely catch their breath.
Abel described the scene to Emmeline while he was holding her in his arms. Each time he described something, Emmeline laughed along with him.
Kendra sat on the grass with Quincy in her arms and taught the baby to stand up.
Everything was so beautiful.
A night breeze began to blow in the garden at eight o’clock, so everyone went back to the living room.
Daisy and the bodyguards took Munchkin back to Levan Mansion. Waylon, Benjamin, and Janie also left the mansion.
The mansion had quieted down.
Emmeline reached out to Abel and demanded, “Hubby, hug me.”
Abel happily embraced her, and he whispered, “Aren’t you tired?”
