Chapter 411

With Thanksgiving around the corner, Seraphina never really had much of a concept for dates, but it felt like it had come in the blink of an eye.

In previous years, the Reynolds family naturally gathered at the Reynolds Vista Retreat for Halloween. However, this year, as Conway had moved back to the Reynolds Manor, everyone accommodated him and planned to gather there for the holiday feast.

Consequently, Seraphina had become half a hostess, and had no way to avoid the responsibility of the day.

Facing the large Reynolds family was one thing, but the thought of Gloria inevitably stirred up feelings of aversion.

Not just her, when Valerio found out that all of the Reynolds family were coming to the Manor, he also showed signs of anxiety.

Seraphina knew why.

In the past, as a child with an unknown mother, who couldn’t speak and was raised alone by Leandro, he was arguably the least noticeable member of the Reynolds family. Everyone seemed to habitually ignore him, which was a terrible environment for a child.

However, thankfully, things were different now.

On Thanksgiving Day, Seraphina personally picked a little suit for Valerio designed by Andrea, dressing him up to look both respectable and handsome. In the end, she couldn’t help but kiss him, sincerely exclaiming, “How did I manage to birth such a handsome son?”

Valerio, who was initially a bit nervous, couldn’t help but smile at her teasing.

In the afternoon, members of the Reynolds family started to arrive one after another. By the time dinner was ready, everyone except Leandro and Gloria had arrived. Since moving back to the Reynolds Manor, it had rarely been this lively. Conway was in high spirits, sitting among his children, chatting and laughing.

Seraphina promised Valerio a jack-o’-lantern, so she was now at the dining table with him, drawing the face on the pumpkin.

Following Valerio’s request, they decided to draw their family of three on the pumpkin Seraphina initially wanted to draw some flowers, but Valerio didn’t want the flowers to separate the three of them, so they ended up drawing the family twice, encircling the pumpkin.
