Chapter 1050 Surprise


    Snowkes were falling all around, and people shivered as they walked outside. But no amount of cold could dampen the warmth of the Davis family''s reunion on Christmas Eve. Nothing could stop them from going home - not even mountains or rivers. Finally, on December 24th, Dous, thest brother in the Davis family to return from school, arrived home and joined his siblings once again. "Teddy! Baby!" Dous rushed into the living room and immediately hugged his nephew and niece before ying with Theodore to make himugh. His brothers watched with amusement. "Dous!" Bailey pretended to be cold as he asked him a question. "You don''t say hello to Mom and Dad or us when youe back? You only remember your nephew and niece."


    Bailey had no right to say that since he did exactly what Dous did yesterday when he returned home. Especially with Theodore - he loved teasing him because it made Theodore mad at himself for not understanding something.


    As the eldest brother in charge of keeping everyone honest, Otis had an obligation to expose his lies, "Don''t talk about Dous like that! Yesterday you came back just like this too! And Teddy got angry because you hugged him too much!"


    "Bailey..." Upon hearing Otis'' words, Dous immediately smiled mischievously at him.


    "Otis! Can''t you let me have my moment?" Bailey covered his mouth as if coughing twice.


    "Alright alright," Arthur said sternly while taking back his son and daughter from them. "If you want to argue so badly, then go somewhere else where my kids won''t get hurt."


    But Bailey and Dous refused; they each held one child tightly while avoiding Arthur''s grasp. Even Arthur couldn''t resist joining in their fun this time around; Theodoreughed uncontrobly while even the baby giggled along with them all day long. With such innocentughter filling Davies Manor that day, it felt warm enough like springtime inside despite being so cold outside.


    Lucia and Otis watched their brothers y together without knowing whether they should cry orugh; Edwin couldn''t help but smile either despite usually being serious all the time; Sophie was always gentle but now she wasughing out loud too!


    If anyone saw how these fierce warriors who ruled over business deals acted so silly at home together, then they would be shocked beyond belief!


    "You guys, don''t fall on Teddy and the baby, and don''t even listen to your mother?" Sophie finally can''t stand to watch, chasing Bailey to bring her granddaughter back, and the three of them finally calmed down.


    Theodoreughed, sweating profusely. He returned to his father''s embrace, still giggling. Even the little baby was babbling and waving her hands, looking adorable. Arthur felt his heart warm at the sight. After everyone had finished ying around, they sat down to chat.


    "Otis, I called Auntie and asked when they areing over. She wouldn''t tell me anything and neither would Helena. What are you guys nning?" Lucia asked Otis, remembering something that had happened earlier.


    "Yeah! I saw Otis sneaking out all secretive-like a few times yesterday too! Weren''t Auntie and Uncle supposed toe celebrate with us?" Bailey chimed in.


    Otis remained calm and collected as he smiled but didn''t answer their questions.


    "You''re always so sly like this, Otis! You really inherited Dad''s cunning!" Bailey teased him but got a stern re from their father in response.


    "Let it go," Sophie said with a smile. "Maybe they''re already on their way."


    "Sophie, is that true?" Lucia couldn''t help but ask even though she didn''t doubt her words at all. But Sophie seemed extra sweet when she said it...


    "Of course!" Sophie replied confidently while avoiding eye contact slightly.


    Lucia was quick-witted; she immediately shot Arthur a knowing nce after seeing how Sophie reacted - this New Year''s celebration wasn''t going to be simple by any means...


    The family reunion during Christmas was naturally lively and festive but Lucia hadn''t been able to get in touch with Esmae or Chris until the morning of December 25th when suddenly Sophia walked into the room telling them both to dress up nicely today.


    Lucia caught on quickly, "Sophia, is today the day?"


    Sophie smiled knowingly, "Oh so you figured it out?"


    "Well how else could Helena not have contacted me if not for this?" Lucia grinned widely while Arthur lookedpletely confused.


    "Mum, why do we need formal wear all of sudden? What are you guys talking about?"


    Sophie exchanged nces with Lucia before answering cryptically.


    "Whatever Sophia tells us to do, we should just follow suit right away - let''s hurry up change our clothes downstairs." And then Lucia pushed Arthur towards the changing room while yfully winking back at Sophie over her shoulder.


    Arthur had no choice but to dress up in formal attire with Lucia and head to their son''s room. There, they found little Theodore dressed in a ck suit that made him look like a miniature version of Arthur. "My son looks so handsome!" Arthur eximed as he lifted Theodore into his arms.


    Sophie then brought over the baby, who was dressed in a white princess clothes with a flower headband. She looked absolutely adorable.


    "Is the baby all dressed up too?" Lucia asked as she took the baby from Sophie and yfully rubbed noses with her. The baby giggled and wouldn''t let go of Lucia''s face.


    "Let''s go downstairs once we''re ready," Sophie said, wearing an elegant dress that gave her a gentle demeanor.


    As they made their way downstairs, they only saw Edwin, Bailey and Dous. Arthur asked curiously, "Where''s Otis? Hasn''t hee down yet?"


    "Oh, Otis had something to do this morning so he went out early. Let''s have breakfast first and leave togetherter," Sophie exined lovingly while ignoring the puzzled looks from her sons.


    The confusion continued until they arrived at their destination - St. Patrick''s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue - where the Browns were already waiting outside.


    Helena wore a long white dress with golden hair elegantly coiled up on top of her head despite having slightly red cheeks due to the cold air outside; she was beaming with happiness because Otis was by her side without any guests arriving yet; they were waiting for Edwin''s family to arrive.This content ?

    "Oh wow!" Bailey finally realized what was happening as soon as he got out of the car and punched Otis'' shoulder yfully. "I knew you''ve been acting all mysterious these past few days! You''ve been hiding such big surprises from us!"


    Dous also joined in scolding Otis foolishly asking if it meant that they were getting married now?
