"Thank you, Aria! | know you helped with all this. I still don't know how you managed it, but you did and it's been
such a wonderful surprise."
"That's what my son wanted to give you. We all pitched in-though there might be one little thing we didn't
account for..."
"What's that?"
"Don't you feel the dress is a bit tight?" Aria asked, placing a hand on Celeste's stomach.
"Oh!" Celeste blushed instantly.
"It's a surprise! | hadn't even realized... | thought maybe | was starting menopause..."
"I've heard that stage can actually bring more pregnancies..."
"You're not wrong," Celeste said, sharing a laugh with her mother-in-law.
"How far along are you?" Aria asked, intrigued.
"Almost four months, but it's barely showing..."
"Well, today... it's starting to show. When are you going to tell Peter...?"
"I was waiting for the right moment and | think today is perfect."
"He's going to be so happy! Now then, are you ready?"
"Very ready!"
"Great. Tto call Theodore to walk you down the aisle..."

In that beautiful garden, where everything was prepared for an intimate ceremony, several families had already
gathered.
The Palmer Bartz family: Alden, Serenity, and Ethan-now a handsyoung boy dressed elegantly-stood with his
inseparable friend John, who also had grown into a striking young face. And let's not forget little Isabelle, almost
six now, the spitting image of Serenity.
Then there were the Evanses:
were
Maximus, who had just escorted his brother to the altar; Diana, with nearly five-year-old Vincent—just as restless
as any of Maximus's children; Maurice, now an attractive teen of nearly sixteen; and Paul, twenty-two and
recently finishing his degree in international business.
It had to be acknowledged this young man clearly inherited his mother's and father's beauty. Though it pained
Maximus to admit it, Paul was preparing to take the reins of the Legrand family legacy.
Paul wasn't doing it for money, but for honor. If he didn't step up, the family nwould be lost because of his
father's mistakes.
Matthew and Magnus were now too old to travel, so they sent their well-wishes and blessings to the family. Peter
and Maximus still traveled occasionally to the Emirates—sometimes with family, sometimes alone—but they
remained attentive to those two elders who were enjoying their well-earned retirement.

carefree life.

wedding date and weren't sure if one would ever come-but one thing was certain: they had a solid felationship,
full of love, with its ups and downs.
Laura, once the shy little girl, now ran the Evans, Palmer, and Bennett businesses. She had proven herself to be
a strong and sharp businesswoman.
Her partner and father of her daughter was her biggest supporter-managing the household and raising Adele,
something he truly loved. Plus, with Emma's wise advice, this little family needed nothing else.
Also in attendance were the
Bennetts: Theodore, the proud father,
