The atmosphere lightened up instantly.

Trailing at the very back of the group, Ann and Hubert shared a look.

“This is so childish,” Hubert whispered softly.

Ann quickly shushed him. “Shh! Don’t let Mommy hear you. She spent so much time preparing this. Dr. Lucas said we need to make her feel involved and fulfilled so she can get better.”

Hubert nodded vigorously. “Don’t worry, I’ve got this!”

In truth, neither of them had any interest in making friends; they didn’t feel they needed any. To them, other children were just… slow.

However, since their mother and great–grandmother wanted them to socialize, they would follow through. Putting on brilliant smiles, they stepped forward into the crowd.

That day, Sunny Estate was filled with the sound of pure, innocent laughter.

The children dashed about happily, clutching their invitations and working hard to collect

every stamp.

At first, many of them struggled with the games–which had been designed by Ann and Hubert —and a few even burst into tears of frustration.

Ann couldn’t stand the crying, so she stepped in to teach them how to clear the levels. Hubert followed suit, personally demonstrating the tricks to each challenge.

This simple gesture earned them a horde of tiny fans. Soon, a trail of children followed them everywhere, chanting, “Ann! Hubert!”

The admiration of a child is a simple, fleeting thing.

Ann and Hubert, who had initially been acting like stoic little adults, gradually lost their composure. Their expressions shifted from smug satisfaction to genuine joy as they eventually threw themselves into the games.

They were having the time of their lives.

Tatiana watched the two little ones running wild, the smile on her face deepening.

Lindsey stood behind her, her voice full of relief. “See? That’s how children are supposed to look. It’s wonderful.”

Tatiana didn’t disagree. In this life, her children were her greatest pride. The overwhelming sense of fulfillment even seemed to soothe her chronic headaches; for the first time in a long while, she hadn’t needed a single painkiller all day.

Lindsey hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, “Tatiana… what about their father? Will he try to take them away?”

Lindsey had wanted to ask this for a long time, but she had been afraid to bring it up given Tatiana’s fragile state.

Tatiana paused, then said firmly, “No.”

Since Jasper had sent the children to her, it meant he had conceded custody. She was grateful to him for that. In the future, she wouldn’t stop the children from seeing their father; regardless of what lay between the two of them, it wouldn’t change the love they both had for the children.

Lindsey let out a long breath of relief.

Soon, the joyful day came to an end.

Led by Ann and Hubert, most of the children managed to collect all the stamps and receive their mysterious grand prize: a stunning brooch featuring a gem engraved with a mysterious seal.

It was exquisite.

The children who received them were enchanted, immediately pinning the sparkling jewels to their chests.

Of course, a few children failed to get one. They looked on with envy, and some even tried to snatch the brooches from others before being stopped.

One boy began to throw a tantrum, rolling around on the ground. “Why don’t I have one? It’s not fair! I want one too!”

Hubert said crossly, “You pushed people during the games and broke the rules. Of course you don’t get one!”

“I don’t care! I want it! If you don’t give it to me, I’ll tell my mommy and daddy! They’ll turn you into beggars!”

Not every child was an angel. Among the guests were several ill–behaved children who had

been forced upon the party by their families. Tatiana had kept a close watch; she had her staff take down their names to ensure they would never set foot in the estate again.

The spoiled children who had caused a scene were simply packed up and tossed out.

They were so stunned they forgot to cry. Used to being pampered, their little minds couldn’t process being discarded so unceremoniously. As soon as they were home, they went straight to their parents to complain.
