Female NovelEthan was back at the Heath Residence with the kids.
He was prepared to celebrate New Year with Olivia and the kids.
But he didn't expect Olivia to disappear so suddenly.
The Heath Residence was fully decorated, but it was very quiet.
There wasn't a smile to be seen on Mason's face, and even Tatiana was very gloomy.
Molly was very distracted.
She was praying for Olivia, hoping she could turn out fine and come back to them.
There was a feast on the table, but no one was in the mood to eat.
The atmosphere was very heavy.
Mason sighed.
"Let's eat.
Don't starve yourselves." He started putting food on the kids' plates.
Connor thanked him politely, "Thanks, Great-grandpa." novelbin Tears were swirling in the twins' eyes.
They muttered, "Mom." Ethan ruffled their hair.
"Let's eat." In the span of two weeks' time, Ethan slimmed down a lot.
He looked like he was always exhausted.
Although he had returned to Arlandia, the search was still going on.
None of Olivia's stuff had turned up since the search began.
If she was still alive, was she doing good? It was New Year's Eve, a time for families to be together.
She had to be missing home, right? There were only sounds of spoons and forks around the table.
No one spoke or laughed.
Mason prepared some gifts for all the younger ones.
Linus said coolly, "Father, I'm over 30 years old.
I don't need a gift." "So, you do realize you're over 30.
Why haven't you found a wife yet? Are you still trying to infuriate me? You'll also be a kid to me if you'renot married." Molly smiled when she saw the troubled expression on Linus' face.
The atmosphere lightened a little.
Mason handed her a gift.
"I'm sorry, Molly.novelbin
It's all my fault for not finding you earlier.
You suffered a lot because of that.
"You're all grown up now, but it's the first time I'm giving you a New Year's gift." Molly shook her headgently.
"I'm already very happy that I got to meet you, Dad.
I've never blamed you.
We still have plenty of time ahead of us." Molly put a necklace on for Molly.
"This is a necklace that Olivia and I got for you at a church.
"It's a pity that Olivia is missing right now.
You have to stay safe.
Happy New Year, Molly." Mason proceeded to hand all the kids a gift.
He even prepared one for Ethan.
He handed two gifts to Ethan.
"Even if you weren't with Olivia, you're still the boy that I watched grow up.
If she comes back safely, I won't stand between the two of you anymore." Ethan would've beenoverjoyed to hear those words any other time.
At that moment, he just nodded.
"Thanks." Give it to her personally when she returns." "She'll definitely return." But it didn't happen.
Mason shot him a quick glance and looked away.
The night was still young.
They went out and played with some fireworks with the kids.
Yale clenched his fists.
Mason didn't acknowledge him.
