“I love you all.” Ivan carried her into the living room. The bright light pained them with a halo.
“You must choose one. Daddy, who’s your favorite?” Diana blinked at him expectantly.
“Diana is my favorite.” Ivan pecked her cheek.
“Yeah! I’m Daddy’s favorite!”
Their laughter spread from the living room.
Aubree walked out of the bathroom. Seeing Ivan and Jennifer, she was overjoyed. “Pippa, can you please clean the bedroom for Ivan and Jennifer?”
Then she said to the couple, “Stay here overnight, will you?”
“Daddy, Mommy, please stay here tonight.”
“OK, OK, OK,” Ivan and Jennifer answered in unison, “We will.” It was rare that everyone was so happy.
Alfie hopped off Jennifer, held her hand, and yelled excitedly, “Mommy, let me show you the amusement park. Grandma made it for us. It’s in the backyard.”
“Daddy, let’s go with them.”
The twins dragged their parents toward the back. Jennifer looked back, “Mom, we’ll come back later.”
“All right. All right.” Aubree ordered the servants, “Prepare some snacks and make coffee. Don’t just stand there motionlessly.”
“Yes, Madam Aubree.” The servants were too excited to get back to work.
Ivan and Jennifer followed their children out of the living room. Then they trotted along the lane to the backyard.
“Hurry! Hurry! We’re almost there.”
Looking at the huge amusement park and the facilities, Jennifer was shocked and couldn’t help wondering how much Aubree had spent on them.
The most critical was Aubree’s love for her grandchildren.
“It’s a gift from Grandma for us.”
“She built it for us particularly. It’s so fun inside.”
“Mommy, I want to stay in Grandma’s house forever. Grandma is so nice to us.”
“Mommy, Grandma loves us a lot.”
The twins echoed each other. Their words softened Jennifer’s heart and made her feel touched. She could tell everything was going toward a bright future.
Under the moonlight, the family of four held each other’s hands with happy smiles.
