Beyond the Divorce

Ava, acting like a little adult, quickly introduced Jenny to Lauren. "Aunt Lauren, this is my big sister. Uncle found her for me." Lauren approved, saying, "Your uncle is quite bossy!"

Then she turned her attention to Jenny. "Well! What a beautiful girl!"

After a brief greeting, she hugged Jenny and spoke in a soft, gentle tone, "Hello there, pretty girl. I have a gift for you."

The kids were excited, especially Ava, who loved unwrapping gifts. Ryan was also there, and he was the chef for the day.

After hugging my mom, Lauren playfully complained about hunger. "I haven't tasted delicious homemade food in half a year. I've been dreaming about it."

"We'll have dinner right away. Chlo, call Atlas and ask how long before he gets back," my mom directed.

Now that Grace was here, she played the role of a captain, organizing and managing everything happily.

Ava, unable to contain her excitement, asked, "Aunt Lauren, where's my gift?"

Lauren laughed. "I thought you'd forgotten. You're such a little trickster!"

When she opened her suitcase, it was filled with gifts for everyone, especially Ava. There were clothes from different countries. "I bought clothes of various sizes. Jenny also has a gift now."
