“Sean, when did you buy Mommy a gift? How come I didn’t know about it? Weren’t we just out shopping for grandpa and grandma?”

“Yeah, but I saw a lipstick that would look perfect on Mommy, so I bought it. I even asked the clerk to wrap it up for me.”

As Sean spoke, he had already found the little package.

“Here it is, Mommy–this is for you!”

He handed it to Natalie like it was a treasure.

Natalie’s chest warmed instantly.

This child is so thoughtful.

All these years, as their mother, she hadn’t even known her children existed. She hadn’t had the chance to buy them anything; yet her son had remembered to buy her a gift?

“Thank you, Sean. I love it.”

Natalie kissed his forehead, and Sean’s little face turned crimson.

Susie, however, looked a little jealous.

“Ugh! You’re so sneaky! You secretly bought Mommy a gift and didn’t tell me! Hmph! You just want to hog all of Mommy’s love for yourself, don’t you?”

Sean could only stare at her, speechless.

He rolled his eyes, not even bothering to argue with Susie in this mood.

Natalie just laughed, pulled Susie onto her lap, and kissed her as well.

“Susie, sweetheart, Mommy loves you too.”

“Really? Mommy won’t ignore me just because I didn’t buy you a gift?”

Susie pouted, her voice full of grievance.

Natalie stroked her hair and said gently, “Of course not. Mommy loves you and your brother more than anything.”

Sean’s lips curved up; he couldn’t hide his grin.

Mommy said she loves me.

Susic’s little heart swelled, too.

“Alright then. I’ll give Mommy a gift later as well–but for now, it’s a secret!”

“Okay.”

Natalie didn’t expect gifts from her children; just knowing they had her in their hearts was more than enough.

The sound of an engine came from outside.

Flynn smiled. “That must be Mom and Dad.”

“Grandpa and Grandma? I’m going out to see them!”

Susie wriggled out of Natalie’s lap and dashed toward the door on her little legs.

Sean, however, stayed right by Natalie’s side. When she stood up, he reached out and wrapped his tiny fingers around hers.

Natalie marveled again at how miraculous life was.

She hadn’t spent much time with the children, yet in this moment, the blood bond between them stirred something deep inside her–warmth, fierce and unshakable.

She held Sean’s hand tightly and walked with him to the door.

“Daddy!”

Susie spotted Baron getting out of the car and charged toward him like a little train.

Baron immediately squatted down to catch her, afraid she might trip and fall.

But Susie tilted her head toward Ruby and Waylon.

“Wow, are you my grandma and grandpa? You’re so good–looking! No wonder you could have such a beautiful daughter like my mommy–and me!”

Her words made the elderly couple beam with delight.

“Oh my, you must be Susie! What a sweet tongue you have. Yes, we’re your Grandma and

Grandpa.”

Ruby let go of Waylon’s hand and eagerly took Susic from Baron’s arms.

In Susie’s eyes and features, Ruby caught glimpses of Natalic.

It was as if she were looking twenty years into the past.

If I hadn’t failed to protect my daughter back then, how could Natalie have been gone from home for so many years? Ruby’s eyes misted over.

Susie instantly noticed.

She reached up to wipe her grandmother’s tears and whispered, “Grandma, why are you crying?”

“No reason, sweetheart. Grandma’s just happy to see you.”

Ruby knew her tears were ill–timed, but she couldn’t hold them back.

At that moment, Sean came out with Natalie.

“Mom, dad, you’re here,” Natalie said with a soft smile.

“Hello, Grandma, Grandpa. My name is Sean–you can just call me Sean.”

He spoke politely, like a little gentleman.

Waylon and Ruby’s joy doubled as they looked at him.

“Wonderful, wonderful. Come on, let’s go inside! Grandma and Grandpa brought gifts for you.”

Waylon couldn’t resist scooping Sean up, and together with Ruby–each carrying a child–they went into the living room.

Flynn stood there, speechless.

He felt like the whole family had just forgotten about him.

“Hey, look at Mom and Dad-”

He wanted to pout to Natalie, but then noticed her walking quickly toward Baron, her face tight with worry.

She reached him first, grabbed his arm, and frowned. “You’re hurt? What happened? Who did this to you?”

Just then, her phone rang in her pocket.

Baron froze for a second, then instinctively said, “Your phone’s ringing–it might be something urgent.”
