Chapter 844
“Jasper will start kindergarten after the New Year holidays. He’ll stay here, and we’ll need your help to take care of him while we’re at the frontier,” Mila explained. Florence nodded quickly. “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of him.”
As a new mother, Sienna felt a pang of sympathy at the thought of a child being separated from his parents. “Chubs, are you sure you don’t want to keep Jasper with you? It’s so heartbreaking for a child to be away from his parents for so long.”
Mila sighed, resigned, “Some children are destined to bear their unique burdens from birth. I’m a scientist, and Nate is a general in national defense. Jasper’s life is different from others.” Sienna nodded, lips pressed together.
Mila reassured her. “We’ll visit him during our breaks, and he can come to the frontier during his holidays. The actual time apart won’t be as much as it seems. It’s going to be alright.”
Wendy chimed in, “It’s good for him to stay here. There are plenty of children around, and it’s always lively. There’s laughter and joy every day, it’s wonderful.”
“Exactly.”
The ward was filled with warmth and chatter. Men and women formed their groups, watching over the children, and keeping each other company.
In Norvania, New Year was a time for family reunions and joy.
The colorful lights illuminated the entire garden of the Morrison Residence. Inside the bustling villa, everyone had gathered with their spouses and children, filling the space with laughter and conversation.
The adults chatted happily while the children played around, and the maids busied themselves with meal preparations.
Outside, a full moon hung in the sky, adding a poetic touch to the beautiful night. The temperature was rather low and chilly. Sienna and Mila sat on a long bench in the garden, gazing up at the sky. Mila couldn’t help but ask, “Sienna, are you happy now?” Sienna smiled softly. “Yes, I’m very happy. Thank you for introducing me to Daniel. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here today.” Mila looked puzzled. “What does it have to do with me?”
“You were the one who recommended me for the job here to take care of Daniel. Without you, I would never have met him.” Mila found Sienna’s words made sense and nodded in understanding.
Sienna then asked, “Chubs, what about you? Are you happy?”
Mila smiled sweetly and answered without hesitation, “I’m very happy, Sienna. Nate and I have known each other since we were kids. He had always liked me and treated me well. His fove for me is much deeper than mine for him. I’m truly happy.” en.s

After a while, Nathan came out with a coat in his hands, looking around until he spotted Mila. He walked over and draped the coat over her shoulders, speaking softly, “I’s cold out here. Let’s go inside.” en.s
Mila looked up at him, murmuring, “I’m not cold.”
Sienna interjected, “Chubs, you should go inside. Nate will worry if you get sick.”
Nathan added, “Sienna, Daniel was looking for you inside.”
Just then, Daniel appeared. “Darling, what are you doing out here in the cold?”
Sienna replied, “I was chatting with Chubs.”
Nathan gently guided Mila back inside. Daniel sat down beside Sienna, wrapping her in his coat and pulling her into his embrace. They both gazed up at the stars. Sienna looked up and leaned in Daniel’s embrace. “Honey, there are so many stars tonight.”
“Yeah, it’s beautiful.”
“Is Candice asleep?”
“Yeah, the nanny is looking after her.”
Sienna’s smile grew brighter as she nestled closer to Daniel, gazing at the starry night and enjoying the moment.
Overwhelmed with affection, Daniel couldn’t resist kissing her softly and whispering, “I love you, Darling.”
Even after more than a year of marriage, Sienna still blushed at his words.
