“Emmett, shall we join as a family through marriage?” Hazel said excitedly.
“It’s not difficult to get my daughter’s hand in marriage. If he can overcome the seventy-two regulations
of the ZH Clan, I’ll gladly give him my blessings.” Emmett looked lovingly at his precious princess who
was sound asleep. Although he looked indifferent, everyone could tell from his tone that he could not
bear to give up his princess.
Could anyone ever clear the seventy-two regulations unscathed? Hazel started to worry and hoped that
her little prince would not fall for Emmett’s daughter.
The few of them were discussing and then Sally arrived.
“Sally! Sally! You’re finally here. We’ve waited for you for a long time.” Elaine quickly grabbed her hand.
“Wow, Mr. Smith had bought another house. This can be compared to the White House! The place is
beautiful. No wonder you are holding your baby shower at home. Your home is even more luxurious
than the hotel!” Sally was led in by a servant and remarked as she approached.
The house was huge and one could easily get lost in it.
“He loves to spend. All I did was to comment that this house looks magnificent and he bought it without
telling me. I couldn’t even stop the purchase.” Elaine pouted as she said. She wanted to be a dutiful
wife but Bad-bear Smith loved to spend. Now she did not even dare to comment that she liked anything
or he would buy it for her.
“So what? Your Mr. Smith is loaded. Oh, this little princess is so cute. Mr. Smith’s genes are great.
Cutey, good thing you don’t look like your mother.” Sally walked to the cot and gently stroked the baby’s
cheeks. They were so soft, smooth, and tender.
…
Elaine became sullen and pondered why they all said that. Why should her child not resemble her?
Emmett noticed her change in expression and quickly comforted her, “Honey, don’t listen to them. Our
daughter’s eyes look very much like you. Look, they’re so round and cute.”
Elaine felt much better and replied, “Not only her eyes but her nose as well. Look, it's so well defined.”
Emmett quickly added, “She’s our daughter and definitely has both our features.”
Hazel sized up Sally and said, “Sally, your baby belly is large for a three-month pregnancy. Could you
be having twins? Do you know if it's a boy or girl?”
“No, I have not checked. I feel that it's better to take things as they come. We’ll have a surprise during
childbirth.” Sally stroked her belly and her face had the radiance of motherhood.
Elaine and Hazel both well understood how Sally felt as they also felt that way once. They also did not
want to find out the sex of the baby but they were pressurized by their husbands to check. That kind of
muted the surprise during childbirth but they rejoiced at the start of a new life.
“Elaine, isn’t your sister coming today? Why isn’t she here yet?” Sally looked around and asked.
“That gal is now a movie star and a celebrity. She’s always busy. I had to ask her several times before
she could confirm.” Elaine pursed her lips in frustration. However, she felt that Ellie had matured
considerably after being married to Kayden. Elaine no longer had to worry about her.
Sally held Elaine’s hand and said, “I’ll need to have her autograph to show off when she comes. Do you
know how popular Ellie is? I see her on the television every day. It’s either advertisements or television
series or movies. She’s hot!”
Speak of the devil, Ellie walked in.
“Hey sis, I’m back!” Ellie was wearing the latest Chanel collection with a large pair of sunglasses. She
was very fashionable. Kayden wore a black business suit with a blue necktie. They looked fabulous
together.
“Girl, why are you so late?” Elaine grumbled.
Ellie was equally upset and explained, “The flight was delayed. Where’s my niece, let me have a look.”
“She’s asleep.” Elaine pointed to the baby.
Ellie walked over joyfully and said, “Oh, she’s so cute. She doesn’t look like you at all!”
Emmett’s heart sank and quickly glanced at his wife. True enough, her face turned gloomy.
Elaine gave up. It did not matter if the baby did not resemble her so long as she’s cute. She felt proud
regardless.
“Kayden, shall we have a baby?” Ellie said as she looked at the cute and lovely baby.
Kayden always loved kids and immediately replied, “Do you have the time? You’ll have to check your
movie schedule.”
“What schedule? They’ll schedule around our baby.” Ellie said.
Elaine was stunned. Was this her sister? Was this her sister who used to speak before careful
consideration? In the past, she would definitely say that the baby was less important than her career or
body.
Kayden grinned happily as he always longed for a cute baby with Ellie so that he could secure his
place in this marriage.
“Ellie, I heard that you know Nico very well. Can you get his autograph for me?” Sally asked.
“Nico? No problem. How many do you want? I’ll let him deliver them personally to you.” Ellie said.
Sally was stunned that Ellie seemed to regard Nico, who was an international celebrity, as an assistant.
Emmett walked over to Kayden and asked, “How’s the situation in Italy. Have you settled it?”
“Yes, but there are a few who are disgruntled and want to rise. They are all in their death throes and
will not harm.” Kayden calmly said.
Emmett nodded, “I’ll leave them to you in the future. Once you’ve established it, we’ll endeavour to
bring ZH Clan and the Mafia together to form a big organization.”
Kayden was motivated by this and said, “Leave these to me. I’m all pumped up.” After the death of
Juliana, the Mafia had splintered and if it was not for Emmett who took over decisively, the once
renowned Mafia of Europe would disappear into the history books.
“Oh yes, where’s Jasper?” Emmett asked as he did not see Jasper the entire night.
Sally said casually, “Oh, he went to get some sanitary napkins for me.”
Emmett was speechless.
Elaine and Hazel exchanged looks in surprise. When did that scheming Jasper become so virtuous?
Elaine could not help herself and said, “Scheming Jasper went to buy sanitary napkins for you?”
Hazel laughed cheekily, “Quick, out with it, what did you do to make him so obedient?”
Sally pouted and replied, “I have never forced him to do anything. He willingly does these.”
Emmett laughed and said softly to Elaine, “I bought them for you too. Why didn’t you praise me?”
Elaine rolled her eyes, “That was only once. I didn’t even know about it. Have you no shame for
bringing it up?”
“Sis, I’m starving. When can we start the feast?” Ellie had enough of carrying the baby and handed the
baby to Kayden. She then walked towards the dining hall to look for food.
“It’s ready, we were all waiting for you. Let’s go.” Elaine quickly said.
At this moment, Emmett’s cellphone rang. It was Jasper.
“Hello… yes, what?... He’s here? Are you mistaken? It’s really him?” Emmett’s expression changed
and his tone betrayed his excitement and joy.
“Emmett, who’s here?” Elaine asked.
“It’s Oliver, Oliver’s back!” Emmett happily walked out to receive him.
“That chap is finally back. He had disappeared for so many years, I thought that he…” Lucas was
excited as well and followed behind Emmett.
“Emmett, wait up, I want to go too.”
Elaine was stunned and then came to her senses. She then started to cry, “Oliver is finally back. I
thought that he would never come to see me again.”
“Why are you crying? This is a happy occasion. Let’s go, let’s all go to receive him.” Sally said.
…
Elaine quickly dried her tears and smiled at Sally and Hazel, “Yes, let’s go receive them.”
“What happened to them?” Ellie asked Kayden as she did not understand why they were so emotional.
Kayden had seen Emmett, Elaine and Oliver go through so much. He totally understood Elaine’s
feelings. Time really flew and now everyone’s married and started to have their children. Kayden had
also found his soulmate. Now that Oliver is back the four musketeers were finally back together.
Elaine, Sally, and Hazel already put on their shoes and were about to go out when they heard a burst
of familiar laughter.
“Look who’s back!” Jasper announced.
“Mandy?” Elaine yelled joyfully and said, “Mandy! It’s really you! You’re fine now, that’s great!”
Elaine ran over to hug the ever-beautiful Mandy.
Mandy smiled gracefully. The once haphazard little girl was now a beautiful mother. She really felt
amazing that time erased all the resentments and brought back something new.
“Elaine, congratulations on having twins,” Manda said tenderly.
“Mandy, how come you’re here today?” Elaine sobbed happily. She came back safely all thanks to
Mandy who saved her at all costs. Although Elaine was angry that Mandy had lied to her, all was
forgiven when she thought of what Mandy had to go through.
“I came with Oliver.” Mandy looked lovingly at Oliver and her eyes sparkled.
“Both of you?” Elaine was remarked in surprise, “You are together?”
“I intend to marry Mandy next month.” A deep voice said.
The man walked over slowly and that handsome face showed no signs of ageing. Oliver still looked the
same as before. He did not look playful like before. Instead, he was oozing a manly vibe.
Elaine suddenly felt like she was having a déjà vu. All the memories came flooding back.
“Elaine, it’s been a while.” His voice was familiar but his tone was soft and matured. Elaine almost
could not recognize the once reserved Oliver.
“Oliver, how have you been?” Elaine was fighting back her tears as Emmett walked over to her. He held
her waist with one arm and gently wiped her tears.
“What’s there to cry? It’s a happy day.” Emmett said.
Elaine sniffed and said, “I’m so touched.”
“Hey, are we eating? I’m famished!” Ellie said directly as she could not stand their outpouring of
emotions.
“Okay, let’s all eat. Oliver, Jasper, Lucas, and Kayden, today we five pals must drink to our hearts’
content!” Emmett never felt better. Now his family was complete with his wife, daughter, and son.
Additionally, all his pals were back with him. He could not ask for anything more and truly felt that he
was the happiest man around.
“Okay! We’ll drink all night!” The few pals yelled in unison happily.
The women exchanged looks and chuckled. The two kids started to babble in baby talk and everyone
roared in blissful laughter.
