Emily leaned closer, curiosity sparkling.
Emily:
"Then what about Aunt Amber?
When did she fall for Uncle Jonathan?" š
Joseph lifted a brow.
Joseph:
"Ahhhā¦ that one?
Even I don't know.
She's impossible to read.
We can't understand a single thing she thinksā¦
but she understands every single emotion Jonathan bro feels." š
The kids nodded in awe.
Joseph:
"And don't underestimate my brother.
He's not just handsomeā
he's ridiculously handsome, a total gentleman, andā"
Children:
"UNCLE! CONTINUE THE STORY!! š¤"
Joseph:
"Okay, okay! Fine!" š

šØ The Invitation
Days passed smoothlyā¦ until a letter arrived.
A wedding invitation.
Emily:
"Whose wedding?" šÆ
Joseph:
"Rachel. Amber sis's younger sister."
That's when Amber finally revealed her full name.
Amber:
"My surnameā¦ is Williams."
Children:
"Ohhhhā¦!! š®"
Joseph sighed and continued.
Joseph:
"But the moment she said it, our mother said,
'Absolutely not.'" š
Thomas squinted.
Thomas:
"Wait, uncleā¦
Why did your family even get an invitation from the Williams family?" š¶
Joseph shrugged.
Joseph:
"It's like thisā
Mrs. Williams was my mother's only friend when they were young."
Emily:
"Then why did she stop talking to Grandma?" š
Joseph:
"When she married Mr. William.
After that, she cut ties with everyone.
That's why none of us attended Nattalie's weddingā¦
even though we were invited." š
Thomas frowned deeper.
Thomas:
"But Mr. William is horrible and arrogant.
Why would he send an invitation to Grandma this time?" š
Joseph exhaled slowly.
Joseph:
"Becauseā¦
Mrs. William has no one else.
She's an orphan.
And my mom was the only family she ever had."
The kids' faces softened.
Children:
"Ohhā¦š®"
Joseph:
"And this timeā¦
the invitation came because of Amber.
So we went." š
