S31 145. Want to Keep Playing
Louis and Emily laughed on Melanie's lap. They like the way their grandmother
read fairy tales. The witch's voice was so precise.
“Repeat it again, Grandma. This part.” Emily pointed at the previous paragraph.
As soon as Melanie finished reading, she and Louis giggled again. Frank and
Kara shook their heads at their behavior.
“Kids, don’t you want to go home yet? It's dinner time soon. Poor Grandma
Susan if she is eating alone at home.”
Louis shook his head without thinking. “Did you forget, Daddy? Philip and Auntie
Barbara are accompanying her at home. Grandma Susan will definitely be okay if
we have dinner here.”
“Yes! Louis and I want to wait for news from Uncle Jeremy. We hope, that Eva
isn't sad anymore so she wants to make peace with Ava.” Emily nodded cutely.
“Philip and Barbara has gone. It looks like they want to have dinner out. Do you
have the heart to leave Grandma Susan alone?”
“There's still Nora and the others, Daddy. Grandma Susan won't be lonely.” Louis
raised his eyebrows carefree. Beside him, Emily repeated her nod.
“Besides, we often have dinner with Grandma Susan. Today it's Grandma
Melanie's turn to accompany us.”
Melanie snorted at Emily's sweet voice. “How could you use me as your excuse?
1 know you guys wanted to be here so you could
continue playing. You must have known that Barbara and Philip were going out.
It's Saturday night. You don’t want to be lonely.”
The twins smiled faintly.

“No, Grandma. We really want to accompany you. The proof is we are sitting
here, not running around.”
“Come on, Grandma. Continue the fairy tale. We haven't gotten to the part where
the witch was defeated by the princess.” Emily patted Melanie's hand.
However, just as Melanie opened her mouth, the sound of a wheelchair caught
their attention. Bryan turned out to be pushing Mrs. Connor in. Beside him,
Jeremy and Ava walked with even expressions. It's hard to guess whether they
succeeded in persuading Eva or not.
“Uncle Jeremy!” The twins jumped down from Melanie's lap.
How is Eva? Is she okay?” Louis stopped right in front of Jeremy. His head
looked up, waiting for a change in his uncle's stiff face.
Jeremy pursed his lips. Before he could answer, Ava interrupted, “Eval is fine.
You don’t need to worry.”
“Really? Did she want to accept your gift? Have you reconciled?”
With a small smile, Ava glanced at Mrs. Connor. “Not yet. Eva didn't know I was
coming. But the good news is she accepted my saving book.”
“She’s not sad or angry anymore?” Louis shook his head with round
eyes.
“It seems she’s still angry,” Mrs. Connor answered. “The house was very messy
when we arrived. She even threw a photo frame at the door when we were about
to enter. But after a short conversation, think she started to soften. Hopefully her
heart will melt with Ava’s sincerity.”
Ava stroked her mother’s shoulder. Her gaze was gentle. “Thanks for helping me,
Mom.”.

“You're welcome, Darling. It's my duty to unite you. What mother doesn’t want
her children to get along?”
Ava’s heart warmed. She forgot the last time her mother called her that. So far,
only Eva had received affectionate calls like that.
“Does it mean Eva's problem is over? We just have to face Mrs.
Moore now?” Emily clenched her tiny hands in front of her chest. Her eyes
sparkled, her legs jumped a little.
Jeremy rubbed his head. “I think so.
“Woohoo! Our enemies are getting fewer and fewer. After Daddy defeats that
witch, we can party happily!”
Louis stretched his arms above his head. Everyone smiled seeing his
enthusiasm.
Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from the door. “Are you guys looking forward to
attending our party?”
The twins leaned to the side, peering through the distance between the people in
front of them. Seeing Barbara's presence, their smiles brightened.
“Auntie!” They ran to greet Barbara.
Philip, who was carrying two stacks of pizza boxes, gave a sullen face. “Is
Barbara the only one who gets hugged? I don't?”
Emily chuckled. “Be patient, Uncle. We can't hug two people at once. Our arms
are still small.”
While moving towards Philip, Louis continued, “Now, it's our turn to hug you.”
Philip chuckled as the two toddlers hugged his legs tightly. His heart. became as
warm as pizza in the boxes.
“By the way, why are you guys buying pizza? Didn't Auntie say she's on a diet?
She's afraid her wedding dress won't fit?” Emily asked after releasing the hug.
While Philip shrugged his shoulders, Barbara waved one hand. “Being on a diet
doesn’t mean you can't eat anything, Emily. We can still eat what we want. Just
in limited portions.”
“Don't tell me Auntie only wants to eat one bite, then the rest is for us. We'll get
fat, Auntie!” Emily put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks.
“Yes, Auntie shouldn't buy that much. Mommy said we shouldn't waste food.”
Louis put on a wise look. His index finger was even pointed at the side of his
face.
“Nothing will be wasted, Louis. There are a lot of people in this house. Count the
servants and security guards. They will definitely run out. Now, instead of
arguing, how about we just eat? Think of this as an appetizer.”
Louis shook his head helplessly. “Look. Auntie deliberately gave us a lot of food.
If we're all fat later, only she and Philip will look cool.”
Barbara laughed at the accusation. “I'm not that bad, Louis.”
A second later, she waved to everyone. “Come on, Ava, Mrs. Connor, let's go to
the dining room. Brother, Sister-in-Law, don't just sit down. Get up! By the way,
where is Mrs. Bell?"
“She’s still in the room!” Louis pointed towards the stairs.
“Louis, Emily, can you guys call her down? No one can miss this
moment.”
Instead of running straight away, the twins’ eyes narrowed.
“This moment? What moment? Do you want to celebrate Ava and

Mrs. Connor's success in comforting Eva?” Emily's head tilted. Her cheek
became chubbier on one side,
Barbara smiled faintly. She leaned closer to Philip then linked their
arms.
“We made an important decision today.”
“Let me guess. Auntie must have already decided where your wedding will be.”
The curve of Barbara's lips suddenly turned frozen. Her eyes flickered to see her
nephew. “How do you know?"

Everyone immediately laughed at that logical reason. Even Philip secretly smiled.
Only Barbara pursed her lips.
“What's wrong with that? We only get married once in a lifetime. Or
course we have to choose the best venue. Right, Philip?”
Philip held the pizza together in his left hand and then put his right arm around
Barbara's waist. “Yeah, I agree.”

Barbara stamped her foot once. The twins immediately ran towards the stairs
while laughing loudly. “Run for your life..."
The others shook their heads at their behavior. It wasn't until the voices of the
two toddlers disappeared at the end of the stairs that

their attention was focused on Barbara.
“So, which venue did you choose?” Kara asked softly. Barbara smiled again.
