When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1668

Happiness is easy to attain. Happiness is when you still have your loved ones around and are surrounded by your children.

After a moment, I noticed that I had slipped into a trance while staring at the lantern. But I still hoped that my wish could be granted by this first lantern of winter.

Audrey ran back into the house excitedly. While running, she imagined the mind-blowing scene where the lanterns lit up the entire villa. “Mommy, run faster! I want to finish making all the lanterns and hang them up! It will be so, so beautiful!”

I smiled at her exclamation and followed behind. Based on her speed in making the lanterns, I was pretty sure that she could only see such an astonishing scene in her dreams today.

However, when we returned to the living room, a handful of lanterns were ready to be hung. Even Summer had finished making one.

I shifted my gaze toward the boys and noticed the same chill expression on their faces as if they were trying to show that they did not make those lanterns.

“These two…” They wanted to satisfy Audrey’s desire to win, but at the same time, they weren’t willing to lose.

Audrey paid no attention to the lanterns. With a frown, she immediately dove into the sea of lantern parts and began to make a new one.

“Honey, it’s time for dinner,” Ashton called out to me right then.

“Okay!” I then turned to the kids. “Come on, let’s wash your hands and have dinner. We’ll continue after that.”

“Wait, Mommy! I’m not hungry yet. I’ll eat after I’m done with this!” Audrey said. Her attention was fixed on the lantern.

As for Shaun and Gregory, they had put down the lantern parts and were ready to go.

“No, Audrey. You have to behave. Daddy and your brothers are hungry. Are you going to let them starve as they wait for you?” I put on an angry face and tried to trick her into having dinner. “If you’re not hungry, I’ll ask Daddy to give your dessert to your brothers.”

Hearing that, Audrey thought for a moment and quickly darted toward the washroom. “I’ll go wash my hands! I’m the fastest!”

Her shameless act amused us all.
