Noon. The Lu Layeka royal family hosted all the guests who had traveled from afar with a state banquet.
Mya was about to give birth, already in the late stages of pregnancy. The elders of the Russell family planned to take her back to Arkpool City. Ivan arranged a private plane because of work commitments and intended to take Jennifer back with them as well.
Accompanying them were Algerone and Belinda, who had visited Lu Layeka and gained a thorough understanding of their daughter's family. They were filled with satisfaction and finally felt at ease.
Although lunch was served at the level of a state banquet and was quite sumptuous, it had a warm family atmosphere. Bertie was approachable and didn't care about any formalities. He took the initiative to chat with everyone about daily life.
Catherine warmly entertained everyone, personally introducing the dishes.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
At the royal family's private airport, a luxurious private plane was parked there with its cabin door open.
Bertie, Catherine, Tristan, Monica, Rowan, and Claire all came to see them off. They felt a hint of reluctance in their hearts as they had spent a particularly pleasant time together during this period.
Rowan held Claire's hand tightly and said to the elders of the Russell family, "Uncle, Aunt, after things settle down here, I will take Claire back to Arkpool City and hold a wedding banquet to invite our relatives and friends who couldn't come to witness our happiness. I have already had the invitations customized, and no monetary gifts will be accepted."
"Alright, you take care of the arrangements. Just let me and your uncle know," Violet, dressed in a cheongsam, said with a blessing smile on her face.
Monica let go of Tristan's hand and took a few steps forward, handing a bag to Belinda in a whisper. She said, "Open it after you board the plane. It's a gift for you."
"What is it? It's so mysterious?" Belinda couldn't wait and was about to open it, but Monica held her hand tightly to stop her. "You're grown up, why can't you wait? I said to open it after boarding the plane."
"Yes, understood, my Princess Annie!" Belinda happily hugged her and said sincerely, "Monica, I wish you happiness too. May you and Tristan have a long and happy life together. Mom is looking forward to your wedding."
"Yes! We will be happy, don't worry, Mom!"
Belinda was extremely pleased to hear Monica call her "Mom." Before, she was always Belinda, but recently she had been called "Mom" more and more. She knew that Monica was taking care of her emotions.
