"I don't have kids yet, but when I do, Grandpa will pick a special name for them too. The most important thing is that the child is healthy and happy," Sean said, giving Steve a teasing look to show that he shouldn't worry too much about it.Steve, smiling widely, scratched his head and replied, "Okay, then let's name him Lucian.""Should we have a big party for Lucian's post-birth celebration?" Lulu asked Benjamin, smiling. In Hustuaburg, this celebration was a big deal for families, usually held when the baby turned 100 days old."Definitely, we'll invite Maximillian first. He always talks about how Nolan is the oldest great-grandson in his family. Now that we have a great-grandchild too, he can't make fun of me anymore," Benjamin said, with a cheeky grin.Everyone laughed together, shaking their heads and teasing, "Grandpa, are you and Jared's grandpa still acting like children?"Everyone was happy and joking around, it didn't matter if Nolan was a Johnston or a Riddle; everyon

"Okay," the family agreed, heading toward the dining room.Jared gently held Nicole's hand, smiling. "You seemed to have a lot of fun today.""Yes, the three of us haven't had such a relaxed outing in a long time," Nicole nodded, clearly happy."In the future, when you're off, you should hang out with them more," Jared suggested, pleased to see her joyful."With our own families, we are all so busy. How can we just go out and play whenever we're off?" Nicole chuckled, finding occasional outings like this quite nice.Jared smiled tenderly, content to see her happy.After dinner, the children were brought back by the butler because it had gotten quite dark outside. Concerned that they might get too excited and accidentally hurt themselves, he had them come in.Nolan was so fascinated with his new drone that he insisted on keeping it beside his pillow at night.Nicole, with a face full of indulgent laughter, agreed, and Nolan went to bed satisfied.After the children were asleep,

Not long after Doretta left, Lulu knocked on the door and came in, her curiosity piqued, "Was that Doretta just now? Why did she come here? Is there something going on?""Nothing much." Nicole didn't elaborate further and turned to Lulu, saying, "Tia and Stanley's wedding is the day after tomorrow. Have you got the big gift you mentioned ready?""It's all set. I went shopping for it with June," Lulu replied, then asked Nicole, "What about you? Is everything prepared on your end?""Yes," Nicole confirmed."Time flies, doesn't it? It feels like just a moment since you've been back, over a year now. Thinking about all these years, we've all changed so much and now have our own families," Lulu remarked, reflecting on the upcoming wedding."Indeed, but while it seems there have been changes, it also feels like nothing has changed at all," Nicole said with a light smile.Lulu looked at Nicole and said, "It's because you're back."Her return seemed to have brought back the vibrancy of

After the series of ceremonies concluded, Stanley and Tia went to change their outfits, preparing to give their toast.Those who had been busy helping finally sat down."Ah, time to eat at last," Lulu sighed, picking up her water glass and taking a big sip."Go slow," Spencer said, handing her a napkin to wipe her mouth before passing the silverware to Lulu.Everyone else also picked up their cutlery, getting ready to eat."Mind if we join you?" A somewhat familiar voice interrupted, and the group glanced up.They were surprised to see the two individuals standing there. "Martin, Cindy, it's really you!""We heard about Stanley and Tia's wedding and wanted to make it back for it, but we didn't expect the flight delay and ended up running late," Martin explained with a hint of frustration."That's alright, sit down and let's chat," Nicole invited them to join.Lulu glanced at Cindy and raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"Cindy just smiled and replied, "I'll tell you when we

Jared said, "Alright, then we'll set it for a month from now." He looked at her warmly.They had been planning the wedding for a while, and he was just waiting for her to confirm the date."Okay," Nicole agreed, feeling sure about her choice.Thinking about their soon-to-happen wedding made Nicole excited.Soon after, the car came to a stop.Seeing they had arrived at Riddle Corporation, Nicole opened the door and got out. "I'm heading up.""I'll pick you up after work," Jared said, his eyes brimming with affection."Okay." Nicole smiled brightly and turned to enter the building.After watching Nicole go inside, Jared instructed Max, "Drive.""Yes, Mr. Johnston." The car started moving, and Max spoke softly, "I'll arrange for someone to reconfirm the wedding party's schedule and all related arrangements once more."Even though everything was ready, it was best to be cautious as the actual moment approached."Good," Jared replied, pleased, then instructed, "Keep the news unde
