After swapping stories about their woes for a bit, Seth broke into a smile and shared some happy family news, “The tough times are finally behind us. We've got a great-grandson now, and you absolutely have to come to his christening at the end of the month. It'll be the perfect chance to catch up face-to-face...”
Hansen was quick to accept the invitation. Back in the day, he was all about Feng Shui, and Seth was into the mystical world of Taoism, which made them click instantly. Kindred spirits, they were. At Molly and Leo’s initial christening party, the Hernandez family had been the guests of honor. But then, life happened, and the Cedillo family went through their own set of challenges. Hansen aged a lot through it all, and gradually, his spark dimmed.
The Hernandez family focused more on international matters, and so, their contact dwindled.
That evening, Andre arrived home carrying Mia’s purse, and she greeted him at the door with open arms, “Come here, my little one. Give mama a hug.”
Henry bolted into his mother’s embrace like a mini freight train, planting a kiss on her cheek. “Alright, spill the beans to mom. What kind of mischief did you get into today?”
Mia’s playful tone with her son was a throwback to how Andre used to tease her.
“Andre, have you heard about the Hernandez family? They're the wealthiest folks in the West.”
Mia gave her son a few affectionate pecks and settled on the sofa to listen.
Andre plopped down beside her, cool as a cucumber, “Yeah, I know them. Loads of companies want to work with me on projects out West, and the Hernandez family is among them.”
“Seth called me today, inviting us to their great-grandson’s christening. Are we going?”
Andre shot a glance at his curious wife, “Yep, got the invite. Patrick is worth meeting; he’s quite the talent. He’s got this renewable energy project that’s caught my eye. Let's go.”
Mia couldn’t help but pout at the thought of another trip, leaving just her and their daughter at home.
