Chapter 1542: Alfie's Soulful Interrogation
At night, the expensive Emerald Bay villa was like a beacon, its lights blazing.
Tonight's dinner was especially lavish. Aubree had brought the children hfor the New Year, adding much festivity to the house.
"Grandma! Why hasn't daddy cback yet?" Alfie, dressed in a little black suit, his hair slicked into style, descended the stairs in
shiny little leather shoes.
Diana, wearing a white princess dress, followed her brother. Before Aubree could answer, she spotted the headlights shining from
the yard, "Daddy's back! It's Daddy's car!"
The two children rushed down the stairs to greet their father, who was carrying a box as he approached.
"Daddy, what's this?"
"Is it a toy?"

"Is it a snack?"
The children blinked their sparkling eyes, full of curiosity.
Ivan Marsh, standing tall, answered with a smile, "It's a book."
The children followed him to the table and watched as he set the box down. "A book? What kind of book? Is it for us to read?"
"No." Ivan Marsh dusted off his hands and said in a humble and eager-to-learn manner, "It's for myself to read."
The moment he finished speaking, each child took out two books from the box, and they were all shocked by the titles-
"How to Be the Emotional Pillar for the Expecting Mother?" Alfie glanced at the cover, then looked up at his father, his eyes full of
surprise.
Diana also read the titles of the books in her hand, "Ten Tips for Newbie Dads?" "Must-Read for New Dads?"
Ivan Marsh had originally felt quite happy, but the children's stares made him feel a bit overwhelmed, so he hurriedly explained,
"Don't get any ideas, | just..."
"Daddy, would you have been this nervous if you knew about us back then?" Alfie asked, catching him off guard.
Diana's gaze also locked onto him, "Yeah, would you have cared this much?"
"Of course!" Ivan Marsh said without thinking, confidently declaring, "If | had known about you back then, | would have married
your mother a long tago!"
"Daddy, is mommy expecting a baby brother or sister this time?" Diana quickly put down her book and asked eagerly.
Ivan Marsh reached out and picked her up, "We don't know yet, we won't be able to find out until at least four months in. Diana,
would you prefer a brother or a sister?"
"I like both! As long as it's a baby born from mommy, we will love it very much!" Diana was a particularly kind-hearted child.

At this point, Alfie also spoke up, "Yeah,too! I'll be a little man, protecting my little brother and sister!"
Soon, Jennifer cdownstairs.
Dinner quickly started, and the family moved to the dining room, harmoniously together.
During dinner, Ivan Marsh suggested, "Mom, we haven't had a chance to tell Jennie's dad about her pregnancy yet. Also, Jennie's
brother recently found a girlfriend. | think we can host a family dinner here tomorrow. We can formally announce these two pieces
of good news to everyone, and the children can meet their grandfather."
"Of course we can." Aubree smiled warmly, "You're an only child, and Jennie doesn't have many siblings either. In the future, we will
all be one family."
"Thank you, mom." Jennifer was very touched.
Aubree praised, "Your brother Tristan is truly a business genius and a very responsible man. I've seen his interviews, and he's not
ordinary. If | had a daughter, | would definitely want her to marry him! So, | also want to meet this lucky and happy girl."
