Watching them, Scarlett Adler’s lips curled into a smile.

She was increasingly confident in her decision. It was clear that children needed to be surrounded by love to

grow confidently.

Even though her three kids were already brimming with confidence, almost to the point of arrogance, their

eyes oftencked the innocence typical of children. But in the Hodges Family, Scarlett could see it.

She never nned or expected what kind of people her three would be; she just hoped they would find

joy at every stage of their lives. That was enough for her, though they always managed to surprise her.

“Scarlett, tell us, was that man’s arrest rted to you?” Second asked excitedly.

Scarlett nodded, “Sort of.”

“I knew it! Scarlett, you’re amazing!” Second couldn’t help but exim.

“More like dangerous!” First chimed in, eyeing Scarlett up and down. “Scarlett, are you okay?”

These three kids had such distinct personalities.

First was mature, Second was carefree, and Fourth was considerate.

Scarlett Adler smiled and said, “I’m fine, see? I’m sitting right here in front of you.”

First had originally just wanted Scarlett to lend a hand, not expecting her to personally handle such a

dangerous task. The thought of it gave him quite a scare.

But seeing Scarlett unharmed nowi, /ihe felt a wave of relief.

“Don’t worry, Scarlett isn’t someone who can be easily hurt!” Second chimed in.

First nced at him, “Whether she can be hurt or not is different from whether I’ll worry.”

Second shrugged, choosing not to argue further. After all, First was the older brother, and his authority was

still respected.

Everyone watched as the three kids gathered around Scarlett, choosing to remain silent.

Just then, Uncle Evans approached, “Sir, dinner is ready!”

Upon hearing this, Grandpa smiled and beckoned them, “Alright, alright, no matter what, the most important

thing right now is the present. I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of dishes today. How about we eat first

and chat over dinner?”

Everyone nodded in agreement at Grandpa’s suggestion.

So, everyone moved to the dining room.

During the meal, Fourth was quite the strategist, deliberately seating Scarlett Adler next to Hugo Hodges,

while he himself sat ion /iScarlett’s other side, followed by First and Second. Grandpa He and William Adler

were seated next to each other.

It truly looked like a big family reunion, a scene Grandpa He had longed for who knows how long. Seeing it

now, his heart was filled with joyi. /i

Throughout the meal, he was busy arranging this and that, hardly touching his food.

William Adler noticed and couldn’t help but say, “Alright, stop fussing. Everyone’s eating, except you.”

“I enjoy watching you all eat.”

“Fine, then just watch!” William replied.

At that moment, Scarlett chimed in, “Grandpa He, we’ll have plenty of chances ito /ieat together in the future.

You don’t need to fuss over us. Please, eat.”

Scarlett’s words truly resonated with him.

Hearing that there would be many more opportunities to dine together in the future imade /iGrandpa He beam with happiness. He quickly responded, “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to Scarlett!” With that, he ipicked /iup his

chopsticks and started eating.

At that moment, Hugo Hodges nced at Scarlett Adler beside him, a mysterious glint in his deep eyes.

Scarlett happened to look up, meeting Hugo’s gaze.

His eyes were smiling, filled with something infinite and indescribable.

Scarlett found iit /ipuzzling and frowned slightly.

What on earth?

Just then, Hugo spoke iup/i, “By the way, the triplets‘ birthday ising up soon. How did you usually celebrate it before? Do you have any special ns this year?” he asked.

Hearing this, the triplets, who were busy eating, paused in surprise. Fourth thought for a moment, furrowing

his browi, /i“Oh right, our birthday ising up soon!”

First and Second also looked at Hugo, surprised that he remembered their birthday.

Scarlett was equally astonished, her gaze involuntarily turning to Hugo, who seemed remarkably calm, as if

After a moment, Scarlett said, “I respect their wishes.”

Hugo then turned his attention to the triplets, “What about you guys? Do you have any ideas or is there any

gift you want?”

First and Second, being kids, didn’t have much to say about it. Then, Fourth spoke up, “I want to throw a

party!”

“And then?” Hugo Hodges asked.

“And then, there should be lots and lots of desserts and a big cake!”

“Okay,” Hugo nodded, watching her with great patience. “What else?”

*And… I want everyone here today to be with me!” Fourth said.

Everyone was taken aback by her words. The child’s wish was so simple. No matter how much they wanted,

it always came down to the family’spany.

Hugo nced at Scarlett Adler, then nodded at Fourth, “No problem, everything Fourth wishes for today will

“Really?” Fourth asked.

“I promise!” Hugo nodded.

At this moment, Fourth’s eyes turned to Scarlett. She trusted her dad’s words, but her mom was always the

tougher one to convince!

Seeing Fourth’s gaze, Scarlett couldn’t say much else. She nodded, “Okay.”

Hearing Scarlett Adler’s response, Lily, known as Fourth, smiled happily. “This year is definitely going to be

the happiest one in years!”

“Every year from now on, you’ll all be this happy!” Hugo Hodges assured them.

Oh dear.

What to do?

Lily was overjoyed, and as she looked at Hugo, her heart filled with pink bubbles of happiness.

Having a father figure felt amazing!

She wanted nothing more than to jump into his arms and be all cuddly.

But with her siblings, Jack and Emma, present, she restrained herself.

At that moment, Grandpa Hector chimed in excitedly, “How about I handle the party?”

Everyone turned to him with skeptical looks.

Grandpa Hector frowned, “What are those looks for? I may be old, but I’m not doing it myself. I’ll hire the best team to make sure my great–grandchild’s birthday party is spectacr!”

“I believe in you, Great–Grandpa!” Lily said with a smile.

“Fourth is always the sweetest to her Great–Grandpa!”

Then Scarlett spoke up, “Grandpa Hector, there’s no need to go overboard. They’re just kids; it doesn’t have to

be itoo /iextravagant.”

“They may be kids, but they’re our treasures. I’d give them my heart if I could. Spending a little money is

warm smile, looking fondly at the three little ones.

See, that’s how different their status is.
