Neera stood up in surprise and greeted them, “Granddad, Granny, Uncle Jeremiah, Aunt Nadine, why are you guys here?”
Mariah's face lit up with joy when she saw Neera. She didn't mind the way Neera addressed her earlier and quickly took her hand.
“You really are here, baby girl. Did you miss me? Your dad and brother told me you've been incredibly busy these past few days, saying it's been especially tough for you. You need to take good care of yourself, baby girl, or else I will be heartbroken...”
The others also started showing concern for her health.
“We heard that you fell ill a couple of days ago. We wanted to visit you at the research center but were afraid we might disturb your rest. Are you feeling better now?”
Neera felt her heart expanding with warmth and quickly replied, “I'm fine. See, I'm all good, right?”
Everyone nodded, their minds finally at ease.
“That's good to know. You must take good care of your health in the future. Don't push yourself too hard, or else we will be worried.”
Neera nodded with a smile and said, “Mhm, I will.”
She had heard the same words from many different people over the past couple of days.
The thought of having so many people genuinely care for her warmed her heart to no end, filling her with immense happiness.
At that moment, Adriana stepped forward and said smilingly, “Welcome! This is your first time here. Now that we are more familiar with each other, feel free to visit often. It's always fun having family around.”
Neera was somewhat surprised to hear that.
Aunt Adriana has never met the Park family before? Why does she seem to know them?
She asked Adriana out of curiosity, and only then did Adriana remember that she had not told her niece yet.
“Oh, I forgot to mention. A few days ago, I visited the Park residence myself. After all, they are your mom's parents, so I invited them over for a visit.”
After realizing what happened, Neera promptly invited them to sit down.
However, Elmer stood still while fixing his gaze intently on the three little ones beside him.
At the same time, the little ones were also looking at him with eyes full of curiosity, sizing up the few people whom they were meeting for the first time.
Nadine's eyes lit up with anticipation as she asked, “You guys are so adorable. Are you Neera's kids?”
The three little ones had not figured out what was going on and looked at Neera blankly.
Neera chuckled, realizing that she had not told the Park family about her children yet. As such, she called her kids over started introducing them one by one.
“This grandpa here is your great-granddad. This lady is your great-granny. Also, this is Granduncle Jeremiah and Grandaunt Nadine. Over here, we have your Uncle Edward. Go on, say hello.”
The three little ones quickly figured out the identities of their guests and readily accepted their new relatives, greeting them sweetly in their adorable voices.
Neera carried on with the introduction of the kids to the Park family.
“They are my children, triplets. The eldest is Harvey. This little man is Sammy, and the girl is the youngest. She's Penny.”
Nadine adored the kids so much that she felt like her heart was melting.
“Oh my, look how gorgeous our babies are! Can I have a hug?”
The three little ones were not shy at all and replied with grins on their faces, “Sure!”
Sammy was the first one to lean forward. He was looking extremely adorable with the goofy smile on his face. “Grandaunt Nadine, hug me.”
Jeremiah and Edward couldn't resist joining in the fun. They each picked up a child and showered them with hugs and kisses.
The three little ones were incredibly well-behaved.
Even though Elmer was tempted to join in, due to his pride, he did not want to be the one initiating it.
Mariah was initially a bit confused but quickly understood what was going on. “Baby girl, are they your children?”
Neera smiled and replied, “Yup, they are.”
“Wow, has my baby girl become a mother already? That's truly amazing!”
Feeling overjoyed, the old lady approached the little ones and touched their faces gently. She was so fond of the kids that she simply could not get enough of them.
“They are so adorable, just like our baby girl when she was young. Come here, my sweet grandchildren. Let Granny give you a hug!”
The three little ones were rather confused when they heard that.
Isn't she our great-granny? Why did she call herself our granny?
They looked toward their mother with puzzled expressions on their faces and saw her gently shake her head. Even though they still didn't quite understand, they didn't ask any further and leaned forward obediently to let the old lady hold them.
Mariah knelt down and hugged Harvey and Penny, one in each arm. With no free hand to spare, she pecked Sammy on the cheek.
With twinkling eyes, Sammy looked at Elmer. Blinking a few times, he asked with a grin, “Great-granddad, do you want to hug me?”
The boy extended his small arms toward the old man as he spoke.
Elmer's stern expression instantly transformed into a hearty smile. He replied with a voice full of vitality, “All right, let me give you a hug!”
At last, he got to hold his great-grandson. He was beaming from ear to ear as he held the soft little body in his arms and couldn't bear to let go.
He never expected that his trip to Kingsview would be so fulfilling.
Not only did he find his granddaughter, but he had also gained three great-grandchildren!
