Chapter 1104 Was It Him?
The Rogers siblings exchanged glances, and Terry spoke up. "Godmother, you can come and play with us often."
Blake hesitated and said, "I'm used to my bed. I can't sleep well in other people's homes."
Terry nodded in agreement.
Halma looked at the Rogers siblings with a mix of frustration and amusement. She turned to Terry, who had only
nodded without saying a word, and asked, "You nodded too. Do you also have a preference for beds?"
Terry replied, "I miss Mommy!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, everyone burst into laughter.
Ellen chuckled and said, "Halma, don't bother. These four children won't go to anyone's house except their parents'
house."
She then looked at the four children and continued, "You should change how you address Miss Jewel to 'Aunt Jewel.'"
Upon hearing this, Eugene and Olivia exchanged glances. They had indeed overlooked it; they had become so
accustomed to Jewel's title as "Miss Jewel."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJewel smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what they call me."
Eugene chimed in, "They should address you as their aunt!"
The four children turned their gazes to Olivia while waiting for her opinion.
Olivia chuckled and said, "Miss Jewel is Grandma's goddaughter, so we should change the way we address her. Let's
all change it together today!"
The four children looked at Jewel and smiled while calling out in unison, "Aunt Jewel!"
Jewel smiled and hugged each of them one by one. "It looks like I'll have to prepare gifts for you all too!"
The four children smiled from ear to ear.
Only Joel looked somewhat bewildered as he stared at the four children in front of him. It seemed that he hadn't
fully accepted this reality. He thought Eugene had experienced an extraordinary year.
First, Eugene got Olivia as his girlfriend, and then he discovered that Olivia's son was also his son.
At that time, Joel was already quite jealous.
But there was more!
The Rogers siblings turned out to be Eugene's children as well. He unexpectedly had three more children with
Olivia.
Wasn't this unfair?
On the flip side, why was it so difficult for him to get even a girlfriend? Although Halma didn't oppose him getting
closer to her, he just felt that they didn't seem like they were in a romantic relationship.
No! It was more than that!
Joel even felt that they were not as intimate as they used to be, as if something was separating them!
Ellen glanced at the still polite group and then at the prepared dinner. She asked, "Is anyone else coming? If not,
let's start the meal! The food will get cold soon."
Eugene raised his wristwatch, took a helpless sigh, and replied, "Let's start eating then!"
The group started to head toward the dining room.
However, Olivia furrowed her brows deeply and glanced at the entrance persistently. Yet, she still didn't see that
figure, so she could only beckon everyone while saying, "Let's gather around the table and eat while we chat!"
Jewel also absentmindedly stood up and couldn't help but glance in the direction of the door.
When she saw the empty entrance, her eyes dimmed, and she pursed her lips while her fingers fidgeted nervously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas she anticipating someone?
Of course!
It had been two months since they last saw each other!
She could deceive others, but she couldn't deceive herself!
On such a joyful occasion like today, he should have come!
But why didn't he?
Could it be…
Was he intentionally avoiding her?
Just as the people had started to arrive in the dining room in small groups, they heard a servant exclaim, "Young
Master Nolan, Mr. Road has arrived!"
At the mention of this, everyone turned their gazes toward the direction of the door.
Although Jewel didn't say a word, the look in her eyes said it all. She had unconsciously developed a certain hope.
Mr. Road? Was it him?
