StartNovelChapter 1345: Eileen couldn't help but admire Huey for standing up to Winona. Noticing how troubled Ruby seemed, Eileen thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we invite Bailee and..." "How about we invite Bailee and Huey over for dinner tonight? We've got more than enough food, and they can take sextra hwhen they leave." Ruby hesitated. "Are you sure that's okay? I've already caused enough trouble for you just by staying here." Ruby instinctively felt that she shouldn't interfere with Eileen's family gathering, especially since she wasn't Eileen's biological mother. Letting Bailee and Huey cover now felt like an excessive request. "Considering my relationship with Bailee, isn't it only natural for her to visit my grandmother and Bryan's?" Eileen deftly brushed aside the fact that they weren't blood relatives, helping to soothe Ruby's unease.

They timed their arrival perfectly, knowing that Leyla and Stella had gone out again. They had returned just before lunch, eaten quickly, and then dashed out, buzzing with excitement over something they had seen.
If Leyla hadn't given Eileen an 'okay' gesture before leaving, Eileen would have been concerned that they had encountered strouble.
As soon as she arrived, Bailee rolled up her sleeves and joined the preparations in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Huey joined Gabriela to play while Bryan prepared coffee and engaged in conversation with Huey in the living room. Eileen was ordered to sit in the dining room while everyone else worked, completely forbidden from helping.

I never thought I'd get to spend the first day after Christmas with you all after getting married." Eileen leaned back, eyes half-closed, enjoying the warm sunlight as it streamed through the window. "Are you happy, Bailee?" she asked.
Bailee raised an eyebrow, unable to suppress the smile forming on her lips. "I'm very happy." She put down what she was holding, glanced toward the living room, and then sat beside Eileen, whispering, "The Baker family's dining table is made of granite and is incredibly heavy. I once kicked it by accident and bruised my toe, but Huey managed to flip the table over when he was defending me." She wasn't bragging; she was genuinely touched by Huey's actions. "To be honest, I always believed his so- called support was merely a way for him to avoid the situation, leavingto handle his mother. But now, I see that when it comes to making a choice, he stands bywithout hesitation."
In the past, when Winona had created problems for Bailee, Huey would support her and try to talk things through with Winona.
