Chapter 848 I Love It

Yuliana nervously swallowed and debated whether to touch it.

Neil smiled, saying, “Yulia, Lia’s hand is getting sore waiting for you to take hers.”

“I’m going to!” Yuliana hastily grabbed Liora’s hand.

Her eyes lit up upon contact. ‘I’m holding her hand!‘

Liora threw herself onto Yuliana, exclaiming, “Hold me, Aunt Yulia!”

Yuliana quickly extended her hand to hold Liora, her heart racing with fear of not catching the child in time.

“Whoa! You smell good, Aunt Yulia!” Liora sniffed enthusiastically.

Yuliana felt warm and fuzzy inside. She hugged Liora tightly, saying, “Thank you for the compliment, Lia.”

“Alright, come and sit!” Greta called out, smiling.

After the meal, Thomas and Neil exchanged glances before Thomas asked Evan, “Now that you’ve reconciled with Carol, what’s the next step for you?”

Evan anticipated the discussion and knew how to respond.

“I’d like to get married to Caroline as soon as possible, but it also depends on her intentions.” Evan looked at Caroline with interest.

Caroline was stunned and appeared shy. “I’m fine with anything.”

Thomas smiled, “Since there’s no objection from both of you, your aunt and I will pick a date for the engagement party.”

Greta added, “We don’t need to pick a date! The middle of the month is good. Will you be free then, Evan?”

Evan frowned while counting the days. “In five days?”

Greta confirmed, “Yes, 18th April.”

Evan nodded, “I’m fine with that.”

“How about you, Carol?” Greta asked gently.

Caroline said, “I have no objection. You and Uncle Thomas can make the decision.”

“Awesome! We’ll announce the wedding date on the engagement day, then!” Greta chuckled joyfully.

Greta stood up and picked up a gift from the shelf.

“Carol, Evan, this is a small gift from Uncle Tom and me!”

Greta placed the gift on the table in front of the couple. They exchanged glances. Evan took the gift and placed it in front of Caroline. “Unwrap it and take a look.”

Caroline nodded and unwrapped the gift.

It was a pair of personalized glasses in the box.

Caroline was stunned when she saw the gift, recalling Paige.receiving a similar one.

The inside of the glass had a red tinge, reminding Caroline of blood.

‘Blood… Naomi… Daniella…‘

Caroline’s eyes widened in shock.

Noticing Caroline’s expression, Evan asked in a deep voice, “What’s going on?”

Caroline was jolted back to reality. She suppressed the doubt and shook her head. “Nothing.”

She then told Greta and Thomas with a smile, “Thank you, Uncle Tom and Aunt Greta. I love it!”

“It’s good that you love it!” Greta’s eyes reddened with tears of joy.

Thomas told Evan, “Please don’t mind us taking the liberty of arranging Caroline’s wedding. My sister passed away early, and we don’t want to see no one arranging her child’s wedding.”

Evan said, “I understand.”

Thomas nodded.

Yuliana, holding Liora in her lap, scrutinized Evan from across the room. She saw joy in Evan’s calm face that she had never seen before.
