After Estelle ended the call, Magdalen glanced over from the front seat. "Did you take the blame for me again?"
Estelle raised an eyebrow. "It's fine. Handled it."
Magdalen flashed a radiant smile. "If Mr. Flemmings and Norah really end up together, he owes you a massive favor."
"What should he call her then?" Emily joked playfully.
Magdalen blinked, mischief dancing in her eyes. "Auntie Estelle, obviously! With an aunt this supportive, he has to change his tune."
Estelle laughed helplessly. "If Gonzalez actually agreed to get married, that demand alone would make him call off the wedding."
The three women burst into laughter.
Kya giggled along with them. Estelle teased her, "What's so funny, Kya?"
Kya looked up with innocent eyes. "Is another prince and princess getting married?"
Magdalen turned around, her stunning features lighting up. "That's right! You get to be a little flower girl again. Are you excited?"
Kya's large, dark eyes widened as she nodded earnestly. "Yes!"
Magdalen suddenly remembered something and smiled. "When we got married, we had a little crown made for Kya. You have to keep it safe—it's a beautiful memory."
"Charlie already took care of it," Emily said. "He had a custom display cabinet made. Her crown and all the little dresses she wore to the weddings are safely stored inside."
It was a testament to everyone's happiness and a record of Kya growing up.
"Charlie is always so thoughtful," Magdalen praised.
Emily smiled, turning her gaze out the window. The breeze caught her hair, brushing it against her cheek and highlighting her gentle, elegant profile.
When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Norah stepped out of Adrian's car. She stared blankly at the sign above the entrance.
The clean glass doors, the rustic brick walls, and the vintage wooden windows... The paper decorations on the glass had faded from the summer rain, but the playful zodiac drawings stirred an inexplicable sense of familiarity within her.
Adrian parked the car and noticed her furrowed brow. "What's wrong?" he asked, a hint of tension in his voice. "Are you feeling sick?"
