Chapter 299: Too Precious
As the night wore on, the laughter grew louder, and the mood lighter. The group was so caught up in the fun that they didn’t even notice the time passing by. Snacks were passed around, drinks refilled, and more rounds of games followed: Pictionary, trivia, and even a friendly competition of who could tell the best joke.
"Seriously! I can’t believe I’m the only one getting drunk tonight, along with William and Alexander!" Vernice complained since Rain and Sanya weren’t drinking anything with alcohol, both for the same reason... for a healthy pregnancy.
Rain and Sanya exchanged meaningful glances because the two of them were just a day apart in their regular menstrual cycle.
"Let my daughters-in-law be since they want to stay healthy. Who knows if one of them could already be pregnant, so it’s safe not to drink any alcohol at all," Father Rock scolded.
Both Rain and Sanya blushed. Vernice shrugged, and then Rock grabbed the glass from her hand and said, "That’s enough. You’ll go crazy if you drink past your limit."
Meanwhile, William leaned back in his chair, looking content. "I haven’t had a night like this in a long time," he said with a smile.
"Same here," Alexander agreed, his arm draped around Rain’s shoulders. "It’s good to take a break every once in a while."
Vernice took her glass back from Father Rock and raised it. "To family, laughter, and a good time," she toasted.
Everyone ended up joining in the toast, and the night stretched on, full of stories, shared memories, and the simple joy of being together.
