Chapter 432

Everyone ate happily that night.

Selena and Sylvia’s stuffing was a hit, with every scoop hiding a pecan–a little nod to good fortune and the

season’s bounty.

Selena waved her hands cheerfully, “I hope everyone stays safe and healthy next year. It’s a simple wish, but I hope you all can make it happen.”

‘Especially these kids, they’re all in such high–risk gigs, dealing with way more pressure than most!

I just want them to be healthy.

If I can have a grandson next year, it will be even better!

Everyone accepted the blessing happily.

Declan and Cyrus held the pecans, a bittersweet reminder of the Christmas they’d missed since leaving Clusia.

Now, in their first year back, they’d received a blessing.

The feeling was simply indescribable!

They had left Clusia filled with resentment for a place that had caused them so much pain and suffering.

After that, they vowed revenge on those who hurt them. But just as they succeeded, their adversaries perished, leaving them grappling with their feelings.

Cassandra looked at Declan and Cyrus and knew what they were thinking, but she didn’t say anything.

Post–dinner, the young crew, fast friends by now, dove back into their board games.

“Oh, I think I just won. Pay up, folks!”

Declan said in a loud voice as if he hadn’t been so happy for a long time.

Haha, sorry, I’ve got a flush here!”
