Chapter 3237
"Don't try to change the topic, Stanley. You're really looking out for Tia, aren't you?" "Of course, she will be my wife soon. I've got to take care of her," Stanley replied.
Everyone laughed together, enjoying the light-hearted atmosphere. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
The older family members watched the younger ones joking around and felt really happy.
Gloria, smiling warmly, commented, "These kids are wonderful."
Emma nodded. "It's great to see the family like this. When they're happy, we're all at peace."
Karen then shared her feelings, "You're all so carefree. I get anxious if I don't see Preston, and yet I feel a bit sad even when I do." "Don't stress too much," Emma suggested. "Preston knows what he's doing. Things will work out." "What else can I do?" Karen let out another sigh.
Just then, Alfred, the butler, came in. "Dinner’s ready," he announced.
"Let's eat," Benjamin said, inviting everyone to the dining table.
Everyone agreed and moved to the dining area to sit down.
As they settled, Benjamin said, "Let's consider the situation with Everett resolved and get back to normal life." "Yes," everyone responded together.
Karen looked at Preston and added, "I hope for peaceful days ahead. It'd be perfect if they were a bit more worry-free for me."
Preston just shook his head, half amused and half resigned, after hearing Karen's subtle hint. Then he turned his attention to El la r, "Just out of the hospital, huh? Are you sure you're up for all this?"
Ellar confidently replied, "I’m totally fine, look!" He even flexed his arm to show off, making it clear he was feeling strong.
Lulu couldn't resist teasing him, "He's been doing great, especially with Patricia looking after him. He's been in good hands!"
She then nudged the conversation further, "So, Ell ar, how are things going with Patricia? It looks like you two have gotten closer."
Everyone was eager to hear, especially since Eliar and Patricia seemed to have a special connection.
Ellar, facing everyone's eager eyes, declared, "I'm thinking of proposing to Patricia."
June was visibly surprised. "Wow, really? That's a big step!"
She thought they were just getting closer, but Ellar was already planning a proposal.
Ellar, a bit shy but smiling, explained, "Yeah, I want to go straight to proposing. Even if it doesn't work out at first, I won’t give up."
He was hopeful, feeling sure about Patricia's feelings toward him.
Lulu looked puzzled. "Wait, does that mean you two aren't together yet?"
Ellar nodded. "Kind of, but I'm ready for the next step. Once she says yes, we're set."
He was optimistic, even if their progress was slow.
Lulu wished him well, though she sounded a bit doubtful.
Ell ar was slightly defensive. "Why that look, Lulu? You don't think I can pull it off?"
