Nolan put out his arm and pulled her in.
"Because I want to hug you."
She laughed and flattened his collar with her hand.
"It’s still early.I’d like to go somewhere before we go home."
Nolan nodded and held her hand.
"I’ll go with you."
Maisie bought two bouquets of white roses from the florist and slowly drove into the graveyard.
She walked to her parents' graves with the bouquets.
"Dad, Mom, another year has passed.I used to hate New Year’s because I didn’t belong in that family, but not anymore.I’m a mother now, and I have a husband who loves me, so you don’t need to worry about me anymore."
Maisie looked down, took a deep breath to keep her tears back, and smiled at the photos.
On the way back, Maisie leaned on Nolan’s shoulder while he put his arms around her and kissed the top o f her head.
The car parked in front of the mansion, and Daisie's voice could be heard right after Maisie got out of the vehicle.
"Mommy, Waylon and Grandpa are back!"
She trotted over, jumped into her arms, and happily looked up.
"Are you surprised?"
Maisie laughed and pinched her nose.
"I knew it already."
Daisie pouted.
Waylon and Yorrick walked into the yard.
Maisie and Nolan were both surprised when they saw Yorrick.
Yorrick patted Waylon’s head and raised his eyebrows at them.
"What? Are you surprised to see me with your son?"
Nolan laughed.
"You’re just here for the free meal."
Maisie squinted.
If Yorrick was here, Madam Hathaway and Xyla were probably there.
As expected, Madam Hathaway was having a good chat with her grandchildren in the living room with Xyla sitting next to her.
