Chapter 41

"Zaiden.." I called out.

He got up from his seat and turned to face me, a warm smile on his face. As he joined Cole on the floor, the twins saw me. They squealed with delight and ran over, hugging my knees tightly. Their happy faces and laughter filled the room, making my heart feel full and happy.

"Mommy! Mommy! Uncle Zaiden bought me toys! Look!" Cole proudly displayed his toy cars to me.

"Mommy, he bought many books! Uncle Zaiden will teach me how to read!" Calia's eyes gleamed as she clutched her new books tightly.

I beamed at their excitement, my heart swelling with joy. "Wow, those are fantastic toys and books, right?" I knelt down to their level, tousling Cole's hair and admiring Calia's books. "That's really kind of Uncle Zaiden. What do you say?"

"Thank you, Tito Zaiden!" the twins chorused, their eyes shining with pure delight.
