After an enjoyable dinner, everyone had some spare time to explore. Nostralis sparkled beautifully under the night sky. Hayden suggested a stroll to soak in the evening scenery, and Lillian and Kevin eagerly jumped on board with enthusiasm. Debra was also excited about the idea.
With everyone eager to go, Stacey decided to join in. So, they stepped out into the enchanting streets of Nostralis.
Daprein was a vibrant country, and its capital, Nostralis, was one of the largest cities in the world. At night, the commercial district came alive, showcasing its beauty. Lillian and Kevin were overjoyed, running ahead and peering curiously at every new sight.
Luckily, Gwen and Marie were with them, keeping an eye on the kids. Without their help, Stacey and Debra would have been worn out trying to catch up. The kids‘ happiness was contagious, especially when they found something interesting. They rushed back to share their discoveries.
“Mom, Dad, there’s a bird over there!” Lillian squealed as she spotted a bird in a cage outside a shop. She dashed over, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she looked up at Stacey and Hayden.
Meanwhile, Kevin had sprinted to the cage, gazing at the bird with wide, curious eyes. The parrot jumped from one perch to another, tilting its head at the treats. Suddenly, it chirped something in Dapreinish.
Hayden chuckled and translated for the kids. “It’s saying hello.”
Curious, Lillian exclaimed, looking at the bird, “It can NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
talk!”
Kevin turned to his “dad“, his face filled with admiration. ‘Dad, you can understand bird talk!”
With a smile, Hayden picked up Kevin so he could get a better look at the parrot.
Seeing her younger brother being lifted by their “dad” made Lillen a bit jealous. She reached out, wanting some attention

Stacey quickly bent down and picked Lillian up, allowing her to join in on the fun of watching the bird.
They were in a craft shop, artistically decorated, and the kind shopkeeper stepped out to greet them with a warm smile, attracted by the adorable children. She started sharing information with Dapreinjsh language, but Stacey didn’t quite catch

Hayden hugged Kevin while chatting with the old lady, a cozy atmosphere surrounding them as they discussed.
Just before they left, the old lady handed them two small gifts–one for Lillian and one for Kevin. Hayden and Stacey both rushed to pay for the gifts, but the old lady smiled and declined, explaining that she simply adored Lillian and Kevin and felt it was meant to be.
After bidding farewell to the old lady, they continued their shopping adventure. However, after being held for a while, Lillian and Kevin soon grew restless. They kicked their little legs, eager to get down.
“Daddy” and mommy walked too slowly, and adults didn’t go where they wanted to go. The two babies couldn’t wait any longer, so they were anxious to explore the world with their own feet.
Stacey had no choice but to put the baby down and give the toddler leash to the maid. Hayden also put down Kevin and let
the maid run after him with a leash.
The two kids zoomed around the street attracting the attention of passersby. Many stopped to watch the adorable dua,

Lillian, the social butterfly, would stop and beam up at anyone who caught her eye, especially beautiful girls. Kevin, a bit shyer, preferred the toy store just ahead and was ready to sprint ward it.
Stacey gently pulled Lillian away from the beautiful girl’s reach, and everyone followed Kevin into the toy store.
Upon stepping inside, Lillian was mesmerized by the array of beautiful dolls lining the shelves.
Debra, fully embracing the moment, happily bought everything Lillian admired. A considerable haul of dolls were bought, much to the delight of the toy store owners.
Seeing Lillian’s new treasures, Kevin, with childlike excitement, asked for his own. Debra, ever generous, decided to duplicate everything she had bought for Lillian for Kevin as well
They roamed the night market for a while longer, immersing themselves in the festive atmosphere before returning to the hotel late at night. Everyone still wore bright smiles, but those quickly faded as they stepped into the hotel lobby and were greeted by Queenie, who’d been anxiously waiting.
Seeing them come back, Queenie rushed over to Hayden with a hint of worry on her face.
Hayden, still holding Kevin, tried to sidestep her, but Queenie reached out to grab his arm. He hugged Kevin close and dodged her grasp.
Stacey and Debra remained silent, following Hayden toward the elevator.
While they waited for the doors to open, Queenie glanced nervously at Stacey several times. Her gaze eventually landed on Hayden and the child he held. This wasn’t Jeremy, and a nagging worry crept into her mind.
“Why is Hayden showing such warmth toward another woman’s child? is he really moving on with Becky?‘ she thought.
“Hayden… can we talk in private?” Queenie asked when the elevator door opened, her voice a blend of urgency and desperation.
Hayden frowned, clearly annoyed. “I don’t think there’s anything left to discuss,” he replied coldly.
Queenie felt a rush of anxiety. Not wanting to delve into sensitive topics in front of Stacey and Debra, she hesitated but finally
blurted out, “It’s about Jeremy. I’m his biological mother, and I want what’s best for him. Can we talk alone?”
Hayden remained silent, waiting until they dropped Stacey and the others off at their rooms on the twenty–fourth floor. Then, he turned to Queenie, his expression stern. “Let’s talk in the lobby.”
He wasn’t interested in a private conversation. The bustling environment of the lobby provided a layer of protection against any misunderstandings, especially with Becky. He couldn’t afford for her to think he still had anything going on with Queenie.
