“Understood,” Soren said with a smile.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Stone. Niall’s comrades have been keeping an eye out for his child too. Now that there’s news, they’ll make sure she’s well taken care of.”

Xander nodded, saying nothing more.

They had just stepped into the backyard when they spotted a familiar scene in the neighboring garden.

Noah and Oriana were crouched by the vegetable patch, both wearing aprons and fussing with a row of protective covers. Not far away, a lounge chair swayed gently where Micah sat, watching Oriana with tender eyes. Beside him stood a young man with pale blue hair, chatting endlessly while Micah half- listened.

It was a simple, peaceful picture–domestic warmth in its purest form.

Oriana had just secured one end of the cover when she straightened up and caught sight of Xander and Soren standing by the fence.

“Mr. Stone, did you rest well?” she called with a bright smile.

The others looked up at her voice.

Noah chuckled. “Oriana knew you hadn’t been sleeping well. She kept worrying you’d be tired today and even had the kitchen make some kind of soup, wasn’t it?”

“Chicken soup,” Xander said, his tone softening. His gaze lingered on Oriana’s calm, graceful face. “Thanks to that soup, I slept better than I have in days. Thank you, my dear.”

Oriana flushed a little. “I’m glad it helped.”

Then she remembered herself and stepped forward. “Happy holiday.”

Noah chuckled and made the introductions. “That’s Mr. Soren Boone; he basically lives here half the time, even during holidays.”

Soren Boone?

Oriana’s eyes widened. The renowned physicist and academician whose research had won multiple national awards–someone who had contributed immensely to the country’s scientific progress.

Her respect was instant.

Xander noticed and teased, “Why does she look more nervous meeting you than when she met me?”

Soren laughed and waved it off. “How could I compare to you, Mr. Stone?”

Micah came over and slipped an arm around Oriana’s shoulders. “Mr. Boone was helped by Mr. Stone when he was younger. He’s also Grandpa’s friend, so you don’t have to be nervous.”

“Oh, I see,” Oriana said with a nod of understanding.

Xander glanced toward the garden. “And what are you two doing out here?”

“Looks like it’s going to snow,” Noah replied. “We’re putting up covers to keep the vegetables from freezing.”

Then, he grinned. “You two, stop standing around doing nothing. Come lend a hand.”

“All right.”

Xander and Soren rolled up their sleeves and stepped through the gap to join the Caldwells‘ fieldwork.

Micah also rose to help Oriana, staying close as they worked side by side.

The only one left out was Kenny, who stood at a distance, clearly terrified of bugs.

But with Xander and Soren both down in the dirt, he had no excuse left.

With a tragic sigh, he braced himself and joined in.

Why was it that everyone else’s holiday started with greetings and gifts, while his started with farming?

After nearly an hour of work, they finally finished early.

Soon, soft white flakes began to drift from the sky.

“It’s snowing!” Oriana exclaimed.

The light dimmed as the snowfall grew heavier, and the group hurried inside.

The butler had prepared hot drinks for everyone to warm up.

Micah didn’t drink his own cup; instead, he picked up Oriana’s, blew gently on it, and offered it to her.

When the temperature was just right, he murmured, “Drink this, then take a hot shower and change clothes.”

Touched by his care, Oriana nodded sweetly. “Okay.”

Dinner that evening was another fondue and various dishes, this time with Xander and Soren joining in. The atmosphere was lively and full of laughter.

After almost an hour, the elders stayed downstairs chatting, while Oriana and Micah went upstairs to rest.

Micah pulled two envelopes from his pocket–one from Xander, the other from Soren.

Both were modest, each containing just a thousand bucks.

Oriana felt relieved that this time there were no staggering surprises.
