Chapter 3095
"Okay," the children agreed, making their way to their designated area and settling down.
The table was full of snacks, fruit, and pastries, with lots of toys around. Nolan and Lana kept their friends entertained, eating and playing together.
Meanwhile, the grown-ups sat on the couches in the living room.
"I didn't think you both would make it," Nicole said, glancing at Benjamin and Maximillian.
"On a day this fun, we wouldn't miss it for the world,’ Benjamin and Maximillian replied, smiling.
Even though the younger ones tried to keep the birthday party a secret from them, once they found out, there was no way they wouldn't come. Not only did they show up, but they also brought gifts for Nolan and Lana.
"Yeah, your dad and I were thinking of just telling them, but so many people ended up coming. Good thing we were ready," Gloria said, smiling at the crowded room.
The plan was for a simple celebration with close family, but the enthusiastic turnout made the party even more fun.
"Gloria, I’m their uncle," Ellar said proudly.
"Haha, yes, you're also their uncle," Gloria laughed in response.
Emma looked at the children and said, "Nolan and Lana are just so lovable. When will I get to hold my grandchild?"
"That's something you should ask Emery," Gloria replied, turning to look at Emery and his wife, who seemed somewhat shy, unsure of how to respond. "Mom, even though you admire Gloria, there's no rush. Let's just see how things go," Ellar interjected, trying to shift the focus away from Emery.
"Yes, let's just take things as they come," Emery agreed, before turning to Eliar and asking, "And when are you getting married? Sooner rather than later, perhaps?"
"After I've just helped you out, you turn against me?" Ellar exclaimed, feigning dismay.
The whole family burst into laughter, enjoying the playful banter.
