âIt shouldnât be a problem,â Adrian said with a smile.
Patrick and Debra got excited instantly.
Stacey was also happy, but when she thought about her situation, she felt depressed. How could
Isabella like this? She wanted to see them as well!
Stacey looked at Adrian with an impatient expression.
she approach Damian and
Adrian felt inexplicably guilty under her gaze. He hesitated for a moment and then explained, âWell⦠Becky, itâs not that I donât want you to go. After some time, when I tell Isabella and her family the truth about our identities, Iâll introduce you to them as soon as possible.â
Stacey felt both sad and envious, but in the end, she could only agree with tears in her eyes.
After that, Patrick and Debra became nervous. They were so used to a wealthy lifestyle that they realized they didnât know much about ordinary living.
To avoid being noticed as unusual when they met, they decided to learn about ordinary peopleâs lifestyles and habits and work hard to control their actions and expressions.
Not only that, but they also had to pick out gifts for Damian, Isabella, Carly, and Ronald.
By their usual standards, they would have simply chosen the best, but now, because of the need to keep their identities hidden, they couldnât give anything too conspicuous.
Yet, when Patrick and Debra considered more ordinary things, they felt they werenât good enough for their grandson and future daughterâinâlaw, which made them very worried.
Stacey originally wanted to help pick out gifts, but as she started planning, Patrick and Debra stopped her.
Debra asked her not to worry about these things and to arrange Eugeneâs affairs as soon Stacey should stay in touch with Hayden and communicate with him more.
possible. She also mentioned that
Perhaps by communicating more, they could discover more childhood stories they didnât know about, like certain places or little stories only Hayden remembered.
In the eyes of Patrick and Debra, Adrianâs marriage was important, but Staceyâs future was equally important; both needed attention.
While they arranged Adrianâs affairs, they also had to urge Stacey. They couldnât let this carefree woman forget about her arrangements with Hayden. What if that relationship faded after a long time?
The thought of it broke Debraâs heart.
Stacey was not a fool. She could sense that her parents were trying to set her up with Hayden, and she was actually very confused now.
From their time together, Hayden seemed like a really good man.
She understood her motherâs concerns. If she were to miss the chance to be with such an excellent man, she might never have another opportunity like this in her life.
But was it really necessary
to accept another person so soon?
Every time Stacey thought about this, she still felt uneasy and couldnât understand her feelings.

When Hayden approached her and kissed her, her heart would beat faster. She wasnât stupid; she knew what that feeling was, but after a failed marriage, she was terrified of entering another one.
âDad, Mom, no matter what, I still want to pick out the most suitable gift for Isabella and Damian. Even though I canât go to the first meeting, I have to prepare gifts. Those gifts can also be kept for later. After Adrian confesses his identity to Isabella, we can give them to her, just like the ones you prepared for me before.â Stacey looked at her parents and spoke firmly.
She would never forget the feeling she had when she reunited with Patrick and Debra and saw the gifts they had prepared for her year after year.
Even though the gifts were very precious, it didnât matter if they were just ordinary gifts. Just knowing that her family had been preparing something for her year after year, never forgetting or neglecting her, the feeling of being touched wouldnât change..
Now, preparing gifts for Isabella and Damian was the same. Even though she couldnât attend their first meeting due to special circumstances, she couldnât skip preparing gifts for them This was her way of showing her feelings for Isabella and Damian.
After hearing Staceyâs words, Patrick and Debra thought she made a lot of sense, so they agreed with her arrangement.
Debra said seriously, âOkay, go ahead and prepare. But donât forget about Hay. You promised a few days ago that you would accompany Jeremy for the operation. Make sure you remember that.â
Stacey replied, âOkay.â
âBy the way, have you informed Bryce and Charlie? Since weâre preparing gifts, letâs let everyone know so they can get ready.â Patrick turned to Adrian.
Adrian answered, âOkay. Iâll tell them later.â
âNo need to wait. Itâs after work hours now; why donât you call them now and share the good news? Get Bryce to take two days off and come back. His identity is not as sensitive as that of Charlie and Becky. He can join the meeting,â Patrick replied.
Adrian agreed, âSure.â
As such, Adrian called Bryce and Charlie immediately in front of everyone. To be precise, he used his phone to call Bryce and Debraâs phone to make a video call to Charlie. With both phones together, he could talk to both brothers simultaneously, avoiding repeating the same thing several times.
Once the calls connected, Adrian told them what he had said to his parents and Stacey.
Bryce and Charlie reacted the same way as the others; they were stunned.
Charlie was especially shocked. He couldnât believe it and even questioned, âYou have a wife? And your child is already three years old?â
Adrian turned to look at the phone with Charlieâs video call and nodded. âYes.â
Charlie blinked and joked, âDid you recently go to a random country and eat some poisonous mushrooms? Are you hallucinating?â
Adrianâs face darkened at once, and he snapped, âIâm not hallucinating; itâs real!â
âThen I must be hearing things! I must be dreaming now! What is this? Iâm crazy to have such a dream!â The next Charlie muttered to himself. Suddenly, the screen went black because Charlie ended the call unilaterally.

Stacey was also stunned. She wondered what Charlie meant by that.
But then she soon figured it out and found it amusing. Charlie must be in denial about Adrian having a girlfriend and a threeâyearâold child. Since Charlie thought it was absurd and unreal, he must have thought this was all just a dream! That was too funny!
