Jude was now at a loss. He looked up at Vania, who gestured for him to enter. He then took a tentative
step inside before standing completely still.
He had only seen the bit of decoration at the door, but Jude could already figure out that this place was
multiple times more luxurious than the hotel they had stayed in last night.
Most importantly, he could feel secure here.
He didn’t dare to walk forward too hastily, though. He waited until Vania entered and looked to her for
further instruction.
Before Vania could speak, roses suddenly fluttered down upon their heads. Colorful bubbles danced on
their way up the floor, and helium balloons with cartoons drawn on them bobbed in mid-air. The happy
music sounded even more cheerful now.
This place was like a palace, a world that only existed in fantastic fairy tales.
However, it was an unfamiliar sight for Jude; it was his first time seeing this, after all.
He didn’t know what words he could use to describe the sheer beauty of this scene, and it felt like a

As the music played, Vania led Jude by the hand to the main hall.
Just then, her three babies walked up to them in unison. They wore formal suits and small ties, and
each one of them held an exquisite gift box in their hands.
“Welcome home, Mommy, and our little brother too.”
Their footsteps were uniform, and their voices were loud and bright. They were a grand sight to behold
as they stood in a neat line in front of Vania and Jude.
When they caught sight of Jude, they began to study him.
So this was their little brother.
Meanwhile, Jude was completely stunned at the sight of it all, and he gaped in awe at the people in
front of him.
There was a special sense of bond between the brothers, and they found each other quite likable.
Even though it was their first time meeting, and they were still strangers to each other, they felt a
certain kinship rising between them.
The three babies had heard from Vania about Jude’s situation, and when they saw his shock and
nervousness, they felt bad for him as well.
Still, they would be more caring toward this little brother of theirs, and they would help him get used to
his new life as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Jude saw the happy smiles on their faces, and the confidence that radiated from within
them was indescribable.
They seemed to be born with their current elegance and nobility, and he felt very small in comparison.
In contrast to his time in Eastland, the children would laugh at him as soon as they saw him. On the
other hand, he could see the enthusiasm and sincerity of his brothers.
However, when he put himself in comparison to them, he still lowered his head, feeling inferior.
Just then, James calmly walked forward, but his tone was warm and caring. “Hello, little brother. I’m the
oldest of the siblings, and my name is James Greyson. Welcome home. This is my gift to you. I hope
we’ll be even happier together as a family.”
Jude didn’t dare to reach out to take his gift. He was already grateful enough for their kind treatment

Jude didn’t take the gift, but James wasn’t bothered by that. He simply stood by Jude’s side and
allowed Jude to take in his presence as a brother.
Jack followed suit. He held the gift box in his hand as he introduced himself, saying, “Hi, I’m the second
son. Mommy has been looking for you all along, and she has faced quite a lot of trouble in the process.
Today, you’re finally home, and we’re all excited about it. We’ll be known as the four brothers from now
on—isn’t that great? This is the gift I prepared specially for you. I hope you like it.”
“Yes, yes!” Jacob spoke up softly. “I’m finally going to be an older brother as well. Our family will be
even happier from now on.”
Then, the three babies looked toward Vania and said merrily, “Mommy, we’re really glad for you.”
When Vania saw how considerate the three babies had been in their preparations, as well as how
much they cared for Jude, she felt extremely grateful in her heart. She felt like she was going to cry
tears of happiness. “Thank you, my darlings. We’ll definitely live even better than before.”
