To Imperial Garden
Hearing that Imperial Garden would be more fun, the two kids became excited. Eyes sparkling with
glee, Zayden asked Joy, “Is your house really more fun?”
Joy pondered over it and reckoned Zayden would like Imperial Garden since her siblings were there.
Besides, there were plenty of toys in the toy room, and she also had the new Barbie doll her parents
bought for her. Blinking her eyes, she nodded and replied determinedly, “Yes, we’ll have more fun at
Imperial Garden.”
With anticipation and delight, Zayden exclaimed, “In that case, I’ll go to Imperial Garden with Joy!”
“All right. Pack your things and bring the clothes and pajamas that you always wear. We’ll leave very
soon.”
“Okay. We’ll do it now!” With that, the two kids ran to their bedrooms excitedly to pack their clothes.
Soon, they came out of their rooms, each dragging a small suitcase with them.
When the maid wanted to carry the suitcases for them, Joy refused. “It’s okay. We have to do things on
our own. I can drag it downstairs by myself.”
After seeing Joy’s persistence, Zayden decided to carry his suitcase by himself as well. How can a boy
like me rely on someone else when even a girl is independent!
In no time, both of them successfully dragged their suitcases downstairs.
“We’re done packing. Can we leave now?”
“Sure,” Evan answered.
“Then, we’ll take our leave now.”
Glancing at Nicole, Sophia exhorted, “Nicole, if you find it difficult to take care of the two kids, feel free
to give me a call. I’ll be there to help you.”
“Sure. Thank you, Mom.”
Deep down, Davin was delighted to see the two troublemakers leaving with Nicole and Evan. Given
their mischievousness in the past, he believed they would cause trouble at Imperial Garden as usual.
At that moment, he could not help but smile as he imagined how Evan and Nicole would complain to
him about the children.
Meanwhile, a thought occurred to Sophia, and she suggested, “Why don’t we send Luke over? That
way, Levant and Tiffany can have a chance to spend some alone time together.”
“But Luke has to attend kindergarten.”
“Well, he can still go to kindergarten even when he stays at Imperial Garden. Just ask someone to
chauffeur him.”
Davin could not help but frown upon hearing the suggestion. “Is that necessary?”
Standing next to him, Sheila replied determinedly, “I think it’s necessary! I heard Tiffany and Levant
have been getting along pretty well recently. Without Luke around, they can use the opportunity to get
closer to each other!”
“Sheila is right! Davin, pick Luke up from Levant Winery and drop him off at Imperial Garden.”
However, Davin stood still in hesitation. His voice sounded worried as he asked, “Can Evan and Nicole
take care of three kids at the same time?”
“Why can’t they? Don’t forget that they raised quadruplets! Besides, Luke is already six. He won’t
cause much trouble and can even help look after Joy and Zayden. Furthermore, they have maids to
take care of the children as well. If the maids can’t do it, I’ll go to Imperial Garden myself and lend them
a hand!”
Since Sophia had made up her mind, Davin stopped dwelling on it and drove to Levant Winery right
away.
At that time, Luke was fiddling with his toys in the lobby of the winery. One could instantly tell that he
was bored, unhappy, and lonely.
After fixating his gaze on the boy’s desolate figure, Davin walked toward him.
“Luke, what are you playing with?”
Upon hearing Davin’s voice, Luke stood up and looked around as though he was searching for
someone. “Mr. Davin, where are Zayden and Joy?”
“Zayden and Joy went to Imperial Garden. Do you want to join them?”
Luke nodded in response but then heaved a sigh like an adult.
