Chapter 12: The Paradise club
The evening sun cast a warm hue over the house as the car pulled into the driveway.
A sleek delivery van was already parked outside the gate, its back doors open, revealing neatly packed boxes. The delivery staff respectfully greeted Miles as he stepped out of the car.
"Mr. Sterling, your items from Star Central Mall," the man said with a slight bow, clipboard in hand.
Miles nodded and signed without hesitation. "Thanks. You can leave them inside the front hall."
Elena helped usher the twins out of the car while Ethan began helping the staff unload.
Hope and Asher, their eyes gleaming, immediately recognized the delivery boxes.
"Big bro, is that... is that all for us!?" Asher gasped, clutching his tiny backpack with excitement.
Miles chuckled as he patted his head. "Some for you, some for Hope, and a little surprise for Daniel too."
Hope squealed and tugged her brother’s hand. "Come on! Let’s open it!"
The twins ran inside ahead of everyone, their laughter echoing through the house. Boxes were quickly opened, revealing toys, clothes, books, and even a pair of matching superhero costumes. Asher immediately threw on a cape and ran in circles pretending to fly, while Hope clutched a plush unicorn to her chest and twirled like a ballerina.
"Look, Big Bro! I’m flying to the moon!" Asher shouted, nearly knocking over a lamp.
