S31 62. It''s Not Too Late
“Sorry, | didn’t attend your wedding,” the old woman whispered,
making everyone emotional. “Sorry, made you go through everything alone.”
Biting her lip, Mnie closed her eyes. Those words felt healing in her heart. All wounds seemed to have disappeared without a
trace.
“Thank you,” she replied briefly. She didn’t want to ruin anything again with words she might not have realized.
“Yes,” Diana rubbed her daughter-inw’s back. “And no. | am the one who should be thanking you. You have apanied my
son for the rest of his life. You have also given me grandson, just like Vivian.”
With a gentle smile, Diana turned her head to the side. There, Vivian curled her lips gracefully.
“You two... can you make peace for my sake? I''ve been gone for too long. I''ve never had true family before.”
“I don’t mind.” Vivian shrugged. “I''m actually happy that we are friends.
While looking at Vivian, Mnie let out a faint sigh. Her eyes rolledzily. Diana noticed that.
“Do you still think that life is apetition?” Diana raised an eyebrow.
Mnie''s head straightened again. Her eyes widened.
“No, Dear,” Diana patted the back of Mnie''s hand. “Don’t end up like me. Don''t fall into an abyss of endless regret.”
Still with knitted eyebrows, Mnie pursed her lips. Before she could protest, Diana whispered, “Stop putting yourself in the
shadows of the
past. Embrace your happiness.”
Diana stretched out her hand, gesturing for Vivian toe closer. When Vivian arrived at her side, she grabbed her hand and
forced
Mnie to shake hands.
“I know the rtionship between you must be awkward. But, you can try to smooth it out. Forget all the pain about Norman. I''m
afraid he won''t be happy there if you two are still arguing.”
Seeing Mnie''s reluctance, Vivian smiled wryly. She realized that the woman''s ego was still high. “Forgive me.”
Mnie''s ears suddenly pricked up. A strange feeling crept into her chest.
“I''m sorry for thinking that my suffering was greater than anyone else''s. | didn’t know that your life was actually more difficult than
mine. Apart from the problem regarding Norman, you still had to face. Rowan and the dilemma of taking care of your son. Not to
mention the enemies of the Harper family business. The decisions you took
were much heavier than mine.”
Mnie didn’t move. In the past, she thought it was Vivian''s apology that she was looking for. However, after she heard it
directly, why did
she feel nd?
“Okay,” she said tly. Her expression was still fierce. “I forgive you.”
Vivian smiled slightly. “Thank you, Mnie.” Even though she was a little hesitant, she finally hugged her
In that instant, Mnie froze. She could see the pride in everyone''s eyes. There was emotion and relief in the breaths around
her. If only she lowered her ego first, wouldn''t the portion of attention she got be much bigger?
However, before her jealousy could develop, Diana hugged them both.

“Oh, this is so beautiful. Thank you for making my heart feels light, Mnie, Vivian. If it''s like this, Norman will definitely rest in
peace.”
Mnie was happy to have her name called first. Smiling faintly, she put her arms around Diana and Vivian.
“You see? Everything is fine. The party tonight will go smoothly,” Kara whispered, leaning against her husband.
Frank put his arm around Kara''s waist. “Yes, your guess is right again. Now, shall we go to the gazebo? The kids definitely need
help.”
Kara nodded then closed her eyes, letting Frank kiss her temple. Without them realizing, a drone had just moved away from the
window. What''s worse, it also missed the surveince cameras and
security team.
When the night came, Emily''sughter was so light, just like her footsteps around the gazebo. The sparklers in both her hands
kept sshing the sparks. The bigger the me appeared, the redder her cheeks became.
“Mommy, look! I''m like a fairy flying away with magic powder!”
Kara smiled seeing her cheerfulness. “Yes, Little Bee. You''re like
Tinkerbell.”
Emily''sughter became shrill again. While speeding up, she raise
and lowered her hands.
Meanwhile, Louis was busy drawing picture in the air with his
sparkler. After making the pattern, he ran over to Barbara, checking
the results.
“How was it, Auntie? Did it work?”
With a bright smile, Barbara showed her camera screen. “Seed!”
A star was depicted perfectly. Seeing that, Louis nodded in satisfaction. The small curve of his lips makes his cheeks look
chubbier. “Good job, Auntie.”
A secondter, he waved at his sister. “Emily, Auntie has seeded. Let''s begin!”
Emily changed her track towards Louis. After throwing the firework stems into the trash, she took a new one.
“Have you decided what you want to draw?” Louis asked as they
ced the tip of the sparkler onto the candle me.
Emily nodded firmly. “l want to make a beautiful dress. You?”
“I want to make a crown on my head.”
Emily covered herughter with one hand. “Then we''ll look like prince and princess.”
“The results will be hrious,” Barbaramented as she got into position. “But remember, do it in three seconds. Don''t get
interrupted.
OK?"
At that moment, Louis and Emily''s sparklers lit up. Guided by Bart they did the mission. After seeing the results, they jumped up
and down excitedly.
“Woohoo! We did it, Emily. Auntie, we did it!"
“Auntie, let''s show the results to the others. Everyone will be amaze by this work of art.”
Barbara nodded in agreement. “Goqd

Tonight is so fun.
“I think their voices will be hoarse tomorrow morning,” Frank said as he stroked the arm of the woman next to him.
Kara smiled sweetly. “And | think they''ll be delirious tonight. Theyugh too much.”
Tempted to see Kara''s lips, Frank kissed her. He didn''t realize that Diana had been watching them with teary eyes.
“Tonight seems to be the most beautiful night of my life,” the old
woman sighed, drawing the other''s attention.
“Because you are here with us?” Vivian raised an eyebrow.
Diana nodded. “Yeah, my nights have never been so busy.”
“Don''t you often have evening events with the orphanage children, Grandma? It''s also busy.” Abigail shrugged her shoulders.
Dianaughed faintly. “Someday, you''ll understand, Abi. Spending time with family has its own impression. Even though the
number of people is smaller, it feels warmer. It doesn’t mean | don''t love children in the orphanage, but-"
“I understand,” Abigail nodded fast. “That''s why | used to hope that someone woulde to adopt me, because family really
means a lot. | want to be part of that.”
Abigail''s shoulder moved up, just like the corner of her lips. However, the impression of her smile was so sad. Vivian moved to
reach for
her hand.
“Abi, if you want to be Jeremy''s little sister, | will wee you with open arms.” Vivian nodded her head
Seeing that sincerity, Abigailughed softly. “I really appreciate your kindness, Mrs. Bell, and | would also be very happy if | had a
mother
like you. But, I''m too old to be adopted. It''s time for me to start a family of my own.”
Abigail smiled then nced at Philip. The man was busy recording Barbara and the twins’ moments. She realized that she had to
look for another candidate to apany her to make her dreame true.
