Amelia Garcia's first day on a business trip, Ethan, Hope, and Noah came directly to Imperial Garden after school.
Christopher Hart lay in bed and vaguely heard the children's laughter from downstairs, eagerly anticipating their arrival.
This day, he saw Aunt Harper, the butler; Fuller, his personal bodyguard; and the carer who looked after his meals and daily life—yet he still hadn't seen the children.
Though he was confident with the looks he and Amelia shared, the kids were sure to be adorable; he remained curious about whether they resembled their mother or father more.
Besides, knowing you have three children is one thing, but actually seeing them is quite another.
The clamor grew closer; evidently, the children were coming upstairs. They ran, their footsteps thumping on the wooden floor of the corridor, creating quite a racket.
The door swung open, hitting the wall, and suddenly the children's voices were right by his side.
"Daddy! Hope is here to keep you company!"
