Beyond the Divorce

We all breathed a collective sigh of relief. Ivanna clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Alright, let's eat. Get them to serve the food quickly, Jared! I'm starving."

Jared promptly played the role of a waiter and summoned the servers waiting at the entrance to bring in the food.

We sat together as three families. Ivanna, never one to miss an opportunity to tease, threw a comment at Oliver. "You'd better hurry up, Oliver. Look, you're the oldest among the three families, but your future child will be the youngest. You should seize the opportunity while Atlas hasn't completed his mission yet. It shouldn't be too hard."

That remark instantly made us all blush. Lauren complained, "Control her, Jared. She wasn't like this before. You've spoiled her."

"You should let Oliver spoil you too," Ivanna retorted before Jared could respond.

"After you give birth, we'll settle the score properly." Lauren gave Ivanna a sly glance.

"Stop trying to avoid the topic. You're both not young anymore, so just live a good life together. Stop waiting to experience life together as a real family!" Ivanna's words made us all burst into laughter.

Dinner was joyful and harmonious, finally bringing fulfillment to our three families. However, I knew that there was still something bothering Lauren. After we left the hotel, we said goodbye at the entrance. The three men each protected their own woman.

It was a warm and beautiful moment. Little did we know that, at that very moment, something unexpected would happen.

As we said our goodbyes, a couple on the pedestrian path not far away suddenly dashed toward us.
