Chapter 1638
Stretching on her tiptoes, Winona was trying to stick a streamer to the wall, not even looking at him. “No spoilers. If you’re going to help, then lend a hand. If not, go back and rest p>
Keaton pressed his lips together, took the streamer from her, and held it up. “Is this high enough p>
Winona nodded in satisfaction. “Yep, perfect p>
Keaton taped the streamer in place.
Winona gave him a thumbs-up. “See? You’re not completely useless after all p>
Keaton was speechless. That ‘compliment’ felt worse than an insult.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you decorating a hospital room? Are you planning to throw a party in here p>
“Even though this is a VIP suite and we probably wouldn’t bother anyone, are you crazy? Throwing a party here would be insane p>
“You’re the one who’s crazy,” Winona shot back. “Who said anything about a party? Now hurry up and stick this balloon right here p>
Keaton did as he was told, taping a balloon to the wall. “If it’s not a party, then why are you doing all this p>
Winona mumbled, “I already told you, no spoilers p>
Seeing that she wouldn’t budge, Keaton leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “I know you want to deal with Beatrix, but p>
Winona cut him off. “I know, I know. I can’t kill her, and I can’t get her thrown in jail p>
Keaton’s lips thinned as he looked at her, adding, “And she’s pregnant, so you can’t get physical with her! Not for her sake, but for yours p>
Winona nodded. “Yeah, yeah, I get it. Stop nagging. Let’s get a move on, we don’t have much time p>
The two of them chattered while they worked, with Winona directing and Keaton doing the manual labor. Whenever he messed up, Winona would give him a light smack or a playful kick.
Watching them from a distance, Janelle and Richard couldn’t stop beaming. From where the old couple stood, Winona and Keaton’s playful bickering looked like pure flirting. They were getting along so well.
After a while, just as they were all still busy, the Sutton family suddenly arrived!
Sophus Sutton, Sophie, and Beatrix’s two older sisters-the whole family was there. And they were dressed to the nines.
Sophus was in a tailored suit with a bow tie, a fancy watch, and his hair slicked back perfectly. Sophie wore a festive red dress, her hair in an elegant bun, and a sparkling ruby necklace around her neck, Beatrix’s sisters were even more exquisitely dressed, clearly having put a lot of thought into their outfits, from head to toe.
Besides the Suttons, there were a few unfamiliar faces, also dressed in their finest.
The group busy decorating was taken by surprise. They all had the same confused look on their faces.
Winona winked at them. “I invited them p>
Now they were even more baffled. Why on earth would she invite the Suttons?
Winona didn’t explain. She just told Keaton, “Go let them in p>
Keaton gave her a suspicious look, but Winona just urged him, “Go on p>
Janelle and Richard had already gotten up. Though they had no idea what Winona was planning, they were ready to play along. Seeing their son hesitate, they walked over to the door and greeted the newcomers warmly. “You’re here! Please, come in p>
The Suttons were delighted. Sophus eagerly shook Richard’s hand. “After all the drama these two kids have been through, they’re finally making it official, haha p>
Richard and Janelle were lost. What did he mean, ‘making it official p>
They turned to look at Winona, who was nodding enthusiastically and giving them a pointed look. The old couple’s minds were filled with question marks, but they gritted their teeth and continued to play along. In their eyes, nothing was more important than keeping their future daughter-in-law happy.
So, just as Winona wanted, they smiled and offered their blessings. “It’s wonderful
when soulmates finally find each other p>
Sophus was overjoyed. “Yes, yes! We were destined to be family. It’s just a shame we found out so late We couldn’t get all our friends and family here in time, but we’ll have Beatrix’s sister start a livestream later so everyone else can watch from their phones p>
