“Grandpa, what about me?” Zachary pretended to be upset.
“Can't you do it yourself?” Henry stared at him while serving him a piece of chicken butt. “Take this!”
“That's a chicken butt. Hahaha...”
The children laughed their socks off.
The festive atmosphere and lively chatter lifted everybody's mood.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Berry was about to serve fish when she saw the happy scene underneath the tree. Her eyes couldn't help but redden. “Mr. Windt, are you seeing this? Miss has finally found happiness, and she will be married tomorrow.”
“Mrs. Berry, why are you crying on a happy occasion such as this?” Mrs. Rawlston comforted her. “You should smile more. Look how happy Ms. Windt is.”
“That's right. It warms my heart when I see how happy she is.” Mrs. Berry wiped away her tears and smiled. “After going through so much, they are finally reunited.”
“You're right. All's well that ends well. It is wonderful indeed!”
Mrs. Rawlston brought out the fruit platter with a wide smile on her face.
Regaining her composure, Mrs. Berry continued serving the dishes.
As the moon illuminated Charlotte's face, it seemed to be bathing her in silvery light. Her smile was exceptionally gentle and filled with happiness.
Zachary would make sure her plate was full and dote on her affectionately.
Smiling at him, she leaned closer to kiss him on his forehead.
Love was in the air as both of them expressed their affection for each other.
If everything ended at that moment, it would just be like a fairytale ending where the prince and princess lived happily ever after.
Unfortunately, life wasn't a fairytale.
After dinner, the kids wanted to go to the playground.
Zachary pushed Henry along and went with them.
Just when Charlotte was about to follow, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head. By reflex, she held onto the table for support. The very next second, blood was dripping onto the white napkin.
