Chapter 1502
Melissa was at a loss for words.
On a day filled with joy for some families, others were dealing with their troubles.
Charles and Charlotte brought Chicago and Melissa back to Emerald Pool.
To be honest, Thalassa had always dreamed of Charles becoming her son-in-law, so when she found out that Charlotte and Charles had gone to get their marriage license, she was stunned.
Thalassa rushed to Emerald Pool.
She overheard Fiona mentioning that Charles had been interested in Charlotte since they were kids.
Thalassa pursed her lips, lost in thought.
Was Melissa already on the way back then?
"That rascal, scheming all these years, making my plans for the past eighteen years go up in smoke!"
Despite her words, when she saw the group return, with Charles and Charlotte walking side by side, she felt a wave of relief.
"Charlotte's a good person, but their lives are so different. They'll face a lot of challenges," Thalassa sighed.
"They chose this path, what can we do?" Fiona handed Thalassa a small piece of cake.
"They're not planning on having kids right away, are they?" Thalassa suddenly became alert. "Does that mean I'm going to be a grandmother?"
"We're about the right age for that," Fiona replied with a smile.
Thalassa touched the corners of her eyes, where there were barely any wrinkles, and sighed, "Time really flies."
Fiona glanced at Thalassa and took a sip of her coffee.
Behind them, Kenny and Darwin were quietly bickering over something trivial again.
Fiona and Thalassa turned to look at them with some disdain.
For some reason, these two, who were so quiet in their youth, had become quite quarrelsome in their old age.
After their disdainful glance, the two women exchanged a look and couldn't help but laugh together.
The kids who had returned saw their moms on the balcony.
Chicago waved energetically, and Melissa shouted, "Mom!"
Charles and Charlotte waved at them from the sunlight.
In that moment, Fiona was enveloped in an unprecedented sense of happiness.
Three years later.
After Charlotte and Charles got married, Charlotte took a long break in the first year to plan for their future.
At the end of her break, she got pregnant.
This was part of her plan.
She wasn't against having kids; she just wanted to get it over with early.
In their second year of marriage, Charlotte and Charles had their first child.
After her maternity leave, she returned to work.
As they had agreed, Charles took on the responsibility of looking after the child.
Burl, who was very experienced, provided a lot of guidance.
Today was the final stop of Chicago's three-year world tour art exhibition.
She chose to hold it in Bay City, where she had previously held an exhibition.
On the first day of the exhibition, the whole family came.
Chicago, dressed in an elegant pantsuit, saw her little niece and immediately ran over with a big smile, lifting her high into the air.
Her niece was a bit timid.
After being put down, she clung to Chicago, wide-eyed, and mumbled, "Auntie."
"Sweetie, your mom is so brave, how come you're so timid?" Chicago teased, poking her little cheek.
Christopher, standing nearby, broke into a cold sweat.
How could she lift his granddaughter so high? It was terrifying!
"Let me hold her! You all go enjoy the exhibition!" Christopher reached out and, before Chicago could say anything, took his precious granddaughter back.
"Uncle Christopher, it's because you spoil her that she's so timid!" Chicago said.
Christopher chuckled, "She'll be braver when she grows up, she'll be braver when she grows up!"
