    Chapter 1974: The Wedding Celebration


    The next day.


    All of Joyce''s medical checks came back clear, and she was discharged from the hospital to go


    home.


    Luther personally drove her back, with Cecelia waiting at home and having beautifully decorated the


    house.


    Opening the door, you could feel the festive atmosphere, sweeping away any previous gloom.


    It happened to be a weekend, so Anderson and Alisha didn''t have to go to school or take time off.


    Early in the morning, Alisha got up to help her grandmother decorate. They bought many flowers,


    arranged them in vases, and ced them around the house. Even in winter, one could feel the


    breath of spring.

    Meanwhile, Anderson helped set up the nursery at home, ensuring everything was ready for when


    the younger siblings returned in a few days.


    Upon Joyce''s arrival home, Alisha ran up first and threw herself into her mother''s arms. "Mommy,


    wee back. Do you like the surprise I prepared for you?"


    Joyce''s heart warmed as she hugged Alisha and kissed her cheek. "I love it, Alisha. Mommy really


    likes it."


    Looking around, Luther admired the festive decorations prepared for Joyce''s arrival, all thanks to


    Cecelia''s efforts.


    In the living room, Joyce set Alisha down and turned to Cecelia. "Mom, you''re already so busy, and


    yet, you went through all this effort with the decorations. You must be exhausted."


    Cecelia waved it off. "This is nothing, how could it tire me out? By the way, the nursery is all set up,


    and Andres helped too. I have something to discuss with you. When ites to hiring household


    staff, caution is necessary. I brought two nannies from the Capital, both rtives of military


    warlords, so they should be rtively reliable. However, two nannies may not be enough. We still


    need to hire two or three more month nannies. Hiring people isn''t difficult; what''s challenging is


    conducting thorough background checks."


    "I''ve already made arrangements yesterday, and people wille for interviews today. However, it''s


    best if they don''te to the house for the interview," Luther mentioned, "I''ve arranged a meeting


    room in the group''s office. I''d appreciate it if you could go and interview them personally. As for


    background checks, you select the candidates, and I will arrange for the checks."


    Joyce furrowed her brows. "I''m worried about falsified documents. Grayson''s background was


    thoroughly checked at the time, but there were no ws. But in reality, he''s not even from Gon


    Macreddin."


    "We have limited information on foreigners. If they''re locals from Khebury, it would be easier. We


    can conduct peripheral investigations into their identities," Luther exined.


    "We don''t need so many people. How about getting them from the warlords? Instead of hiring from


    outside?" Joyce suggested.


    "That''s not possible. Even people within the warlords'' ranks cannot be entirely trusted. If someone


    has already infiltrated and we''re unaware, the trouble would be greater. That''s why I only brought


    two people. I''ll have Luther find two more so they can supervise each other," Cecelia analyzed.


    "There was almost an incident before. It''s better to be cautious. With you giving birth early, some


    things were unprepared for, and we didn''t have time to find people. While the babies are still in the


    incubator, let''s rush to do background checks. We aim to have staff in ce by the time the babies


    return home."


    Luther agreed.


    Joyce''s brows furrowed. "I understand."


    "I had the security system at home repaired," Luther stated. "I also reassigned the security


    personnel. Those who stayed are the most reliable. With the additional special operations personnel


    brought in by mom, there''s no need to worry about intrusion for now."


    "Mommy, I redesigned the security system," Anderson suddenly piped up, squeezing in between


    them. "There were loopholes in my design before, as I only focused on making the system


    intelligent without considering that the basic circuit system could be hacked. It changed my


    perspective. I spent these days studying with Uncle Kane and added a front-line checkpoint on top


    of the basic circuit. Uncle Kane has sent me the program he worked on overnight, and now it''s all


    installed. No one can enter our house by cutting off the basic circuit anymore."


    Joyce listened, her brows furrowed, giving Luther a look.


    "Did you tell him about what happened at home? He''s so young, yet you involve him in everything.


    Do you think that''s appropriate?" she questioned Luther.


    Luther innocently shook his head. "I never told Andres anything. He came to ask me on his own. I


    couldn''t hide it from him and had to tell him what happened."


    Anderson raised his head. "Mommy, don''t me dad. I found out on my own. I have separate


    connections to the home monitoring systems and intelligent systems. I noticed that the time had


    decreased, indicating a long interruption had urred. It was definitely wrong, so I asked dad."


    Joyce lightly tapped Anderson''s head. "You, knowing so much. You worry too much. You''re just a


    child."


    "I''m not a child. I''m a big brother now. I have a little sister and two little brothers who need my


    protection!" Anderson proudly dered, puffing out his chest and looking serious.


    Joyce couldn''t help butugh. "You''re too cute. Don''t worry. You''re just a child."


    Cecelia affectionately hugged Anderson. "Yes, you''re a big brother, the eldest in the house."


    Anderson remained serious. "Don''tugh, I''m serious. I''ll take care of my siblings."


    "Yes, that''s how a big brother should be," Luther praised. "Thanks to you, the home systems are


    now more secure. You can go y with your sister now."


    Cecelia took Anderson''s hand. "Let''s go find your sister. Grandma will take you to the kitchen for


    some goodies. I made fruit pudding ice cream for you, have it as a snack before dinner."


    "Okay," Anderson followed Cecelia out.


    Passing through the living room, he called for Alisha, and together, they went to enjoy some snacks


    happily.


    Joyce looked at the warm decoration throughout the room and their harmonious figures, feeling a


    surge of warmth in her heart.


    Once they left, Luther pulled Joyce to the window in the room, gently wrapping his arms around her.


    "When Wilson and Cullen are discharged ande home, we''ll be aplete family."


    He lifted her chin. "We''ve dyed it for too long. Now, should we consider holding a proper wedding


    for both of us? As I see it, when Wilson and Cullen turn one month old, we can have a grand


    wedding celebration. What do you think? This is what I owe you."


    Joyce chuckled. "Who said you owe me anything? I don''t care. I have no interest in having a


    wedding, it''s bothersome and tiring. Besides, we already have four children, isn''t a wedding a bit


    embarrassing?"
