Chapter 391: Thanksgiving Day (Part II)
With a smile, Viviana got to the backyard where there was a loud commotion. With the boys outnumbering the girls, they all were rowdy there. Leonardo’s kids were a bit too enthusiastic and were jumping on the trampoline. Mirabella had joined the boys. Maybe she was influenced by the naughty boys, Mirabelle was the naughtiest one of them all.
Mirabelle asked her dad and Uncle Ardo to join them on the trampoline. She wanted to fly high. Those two obliged and joined the kids in the trampoline.
She saw her dogs sleeping under the lemon tree. The three of them had gotten old now. They’ve lived past their age. They aren’t all that healthy still but she was glad they were there. She didn’t have the heart to raise more dogs. She didn’t want to replace her dear puppies. They’ve been with her through everything.
Viviana sighed. None of them were planning on listening to her. She looked for her husband. He was the one good at making everyone listen to her. He’s the lion and she’s the fox that uses his might.
While everyone was being rowdy, her dear husband was sitting on the lawn chair with a beer and a book. She looked closely and...
Yep! He’s sleeping!
She looked for her son, Immanuel Michaels—Manny.
He turned fifteen just now. She had a very tough pregnancy with him. She couldn’t even walk to the bathroom as she was asked to be on complete bed rest. Leon was a rock for her during those times. She also had complications during the C-section. Her heart stopped once during the surgery.
But she was glad her baby was born strong. He had good lungs and cried a lot for the few days after he was born. She was too weak after the delivery and it was Leon who took care of her. She had the help of many, including Martha but Leon went above and beyond and stood by her side. She never thought that she had her mother with her to help her even in those days. He took great care of her. Even when he was tired, he never got irritated to take care of her.
He truly acted as a guardian angel! Then and now, he is her guardian angel. Her Michael!
