Chapter 3095
"Okay," the children agreed, making their way to their designated area and settling down.
The table was full of snacks, fruit, and pastries, with lots of toys around. Nolan and Lana kept their
friends entertained, eating and playing together.
Meanwhile, the grown-ups sat on the couches in the living room.
"I didn't think you both would make it," Nicole said, glancing at Benjamin and Maximillian.
"On a day this fun, we wouldn't miss it for the world,’ Benjamin and Maximillian replied, smiling.
Even though the younger ones tried to keep the birthday party a secret from them, once they found out,
there was no way they wouldn't come. Not only did they show up, but they also brought gifts for Nolan
and Lana.
"Yeah, your dad and I were thinking of just telling them, but so many people ended up coming. Good

The plan was for a simple celebration with close family, but the enthusiastic turnout made the party
even more fun.
"Gloria, I’m their uncle," Ellar said proudly.
"Haha, yes, you're also their uncle," Gloria laughed in response.
Emma looked at the children and said, "Nolan and Lana are just so lovable. When will I get to hold my
grandchild?"
"That's something you should ask Emery," Gloria replied, turning to look at Emery and his wife, who
seemed somewhat shy, unsure of how to respond. "Mom, even though you admire Gloria, there's no
rush. Let's just see how things go," Ellar interjected, trying to shift the focus away from Emery.
"Yes, let's just take things as they come," Emery agreed, before turning to Eliar and asking, "And when
are you getting married? Sooner rather than later, perhaps?"
"After I've just helped you out, you turn against me?" Ellar exclaimed, feigning dismay.
The whole family burst into laughter, enjoying the playful banter.
Emery responded, "I just think it's time you considered your own matters."
"Alright, then let Mom focus on your wife's belly instead," Ellar quickly surrendered. It wasn't that he
didn't want to marry; it was that the person he wanted to marry already had someone else in their
heart.
Feeling a bit melancholy, Ellar sighed and stood up. "I'd better go play with the kids."
"That child," Emma shook her head, amused yet sympathetic.
Seeing this, Karen tried to comfort Emma. "You should relax. I have it even worse. At least Emery has
a wife. Preston doesn't even have a girl around him."
"Hey, why bring me into this?" Preston protested. "Please, leave me out of this. I'm out of here."
Watching Preston beat a hasty retreat, everyone couldn't help but laugh again.

muttered, casting a secretive glance at Preston.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, they won't be able to avoid it. Just like Stanley used to give me
headaches, but look at him now," Gloria comforted them.
"Speaking of which, it might be time to consider setting a date for Stanley and Tia's wedding."
Emma, Karen, and Gloria then engaged in a lively discussion.
Stanley quietly took Tia, steering Mrs. Wallace Sr. toward the kids' area, finding that spot more
appealing.
"You two," Mrs. Wallace Sr. understood their intent and smiled. "Don't worry, we'll listen to what you two
decide."
"Thank you," Stanley and Tia expressed their gratitude.
Arriving at the kids' area, they saw Preston and Ellar leading the children in their joyful play.
Maximillian and Benjamin exchanged pleasantries; Dillon, Dexter, and Daniel joined in, adding to the
conversation from time to time.
