Miles’s face flushed an even deeper crimson, the heat spreading all the way to the tips of his ears. He shot a quick, desperate glance at Kaia before stammering, “I meant my handwriting isn’t up to par…”

Seeing her father playfully tormenting him, Kaia quickly stepped in. “Dad, stop giving Miles a hard time. I’ll hang up whatever you write, good or bad.”

Warren chuckled, clearly pleased. “Alright, alright. I’ll do it myself then.”

Kaia retreated to the kitchen to help her mother, while Brynlee kept checking her smartwatch, pacing anxiously for her friend to arrive.

Finally, the doorbell rang again. Brynlee practically flew to the door and pulled it open, only to find Leo, Sophia, and Silas standing outside, all holding housewarming gifts.

“Uncle Leo, Aunt Sophia, Uncle Silas! You made it!” Brynlee beamed, playing the perfect little hostess.

Leo smiled warmly. “Look at you, Brynlee. You’re doing a great job welcoming everyone.”

Brynlee giggled proudly.

Leo and Silas had bumped into each other in the lobby and rode the elevator up together. As soon as Silas stepped inside, his sharp gaze landed on Miles, who was standing next to Warren by the calligraphy table. Silas’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Leo and Sophia greeted everyone as they filed into the living room, gathering around to watch Warren perform his artistic masterpiece.

A flash of amusement danced in Silas’s dark eyes as he nodded. “I see.”

“I invited Celine as well, but she just texted me that she’s caught up and told us to start without her,” Kaia announced.
