“Baby, be careful.” Valencia’s eyes lit up as she ran toward the quadruplets, who were rushing toward her enthusiastically.
As soon as she reached them, she bent down and wrapped her arms around them, engulfing them in a hug.
Valencia planted loud kisses on their cheeks and placed a kiss on each of their foreheads while evaluating them from head to toe.
Although it had only been a few days, Valencia had missed the quadruplets a lot.
The quadruplets also hugged her tightly, clearly showing how much they had missed her.
It wasn’t until a few minutes later that the mother and children finally let go of each other.
Only then did Valencia notice everyone else — and that’s when she realized Raven and Fleet Cirillo, Cora and Gerz Vandenberg, Aneira, and Aviva were also present in the country.
Valencia had only expected Aviva and the quadruplets. She hadn’t expected the whole family to come as well.
“Mom? Dad? You’re here?” Valencia called out in astonishment, yet still stepped forward to hug them. “Welcome. How was the journey?”
“We couldn’t miss participating in your beautiful moment, so we had to come,” Raven explained. “Also, we’ve long been due for a holiday, so we might as well rest here for the meantime.”
Upon hearing this, warmth spread through Valencia’s heart. Even though she wasn’t blood-related to the Cirillo family, they had always treated her as one of them — showering her with love she never expected.
“Thank you,” Valencia sweetly said.
Cora purposely feigned a frown, as if annoyed by Valencia’s gratitude. She gave her a playful glare and said, “Why would you thank us? This is our duty.”
Valencia smiled and nodded. “Okay, okay, I was wrong, Mom.”
Immediately, Cora and the others turned to exchange pleasantries while Valencia turned to Aneira and Aviva.
She wrapped her arms around them in a hug. “I missed you guys so much.”
Aneira and Aviva sighed and said, “Missed you too. It’s so lonely without you.”
Valencia smiled enigmatically, pinched their waists, and harrumphed, not believing their words. She teased, “Farrell and Warrell aren’t home?”
Immediately, their faces turned red, and they pinched Valencia’s waist in protest while chiding, “You dare talk to us like this?”
They all burst into laughter and hugged again. They had truly missed each other.
“Little babies…” Upon seeing the cute quadruplets, Hazel’s heart melted into a puddle. She had always loved children, and once wished to have many of her own.
Unfortunately, Quist couldn’t bear seeing his wife go through another painful pregnancy. He refused to let her get pregnant again, especially since her health had always been frail.
He was terrified of her suffering again — something he couldn’t endure — so he had been firm in his refusal.
Now, seeing the sensible and adorable quadruplets, Hazel’s heart melted again. She immediately wrapped her arms around them and smacked kisses on their cheeks affectionately. It was clear she would pamper them to the heavens.
“They’re so cute, so cute! Was the journey stressful? Grandma prepared your favorite meal. Just a few minutes and we’ll be home,” she coaxed, leading her grandchildren toward the car — ignoring her husband for the first time.
Quist hurriedly followed.
Valencia’s lips curved up as warmth filled her heart at the sight. It was all so smooth and easy — more than she had expected. She loved this feeling: when everything is beautiful.
“Your parents are so beautiful, loving, and cute together,” Aneira commented, her voice full of praise. Although she didn’t grow up with ideal parents, she had ended up surrounded by loving ones.
She couldn’t help but recall what Farrell’s parents had told her: she was now their daughter. That thought made her feel her life was truly fulfilled.
Valencia nodded joyfully. It was surprising to see a couple still so in love at their age — yet she was surrounded by such couples.
She could only hope that her marriage and home would last just as long.
Maverick slipped his hand into hers and placed a kiss on it. As if reading her mind, he gave her a reassuring gaze that seemed to say, We will.
Within just a few minutes — even before the whole family arrived at the Austeegard home — Hazel and the quadruplets had grown so close that even the little iceberg, Orson, was now sitting on Hazel’s lap.
Seeing this made Aviva bite her lower lip in disbelief. No matter how much she coaxed Orson, he would never let her carry him.
This Orson was truly out of this world.

It was on the third day of the family's arrival that a press conference was held in the Austeegard family mansion. The Austeegards had purposely taken such a step so that the family could rest properly before getting involved in any activity.
At the Austeegard family hall, several reporters surrounded the family. Valencia and the Austeegard couple patiently stood in the limelight and faced the crowd.
“Several things have occurred in the past year. We understand that everyone has always believed that Sapphire Relling was a member of our Austeegard family. A few years ago, Valencia, our daughter, was switched by the Relling family with their daughter, Sapphire Relling, for their own bad motives. Due to this reason, my Austeegard daughter had to live as someone else's daughter, while their daughter lived in our family as our own and did everything to destroy my Austeegard family.
Fortunately, no matter how much the truth is hidden, it will eventually come to light. I want to introduce the world to Valencia Austeegard, the daughter of Hazel and Quist Austeegard — our daughter."
Quist picked up a document and held it forward so the camera could see the content. "This is the DNA result showing the blood match. Valencia is our biological daughter, and from now on, Valencia is the official heir to all Austeegard family properties," he pronounced.
"Lastly, I want to appreciate Young Master Roman Relling, Son-in-law Maverick and the Vandenberg family, Young Master Corbyn and the Cirillo family, and the Carter family.”
As soon as they completed their words, the family held hands and stepped out of the hall while the camera lights flashed on them.
Quist and Hazel turned to Valencia and said, "Let's bring you to the company and introduce you to everyone. The lawyer is also waiting..."
Before they could complete their words, the quadruplets ran forward and paused in front of them enthusiastically. "Grandma, Grandpa, can we come along?"
Immediately, they stared at Hazel and Quist with their big puppy eyes that made the couple’s hearts melt.
Ever since the quadruplets arrived in the country, they had been endlessly pampered by Quist and Hazel. It’s right to say that since they stepped into the mansion, their attention had belonged to their grandparents.
With just their big puppy eyes, they could get the Austeegard couple to do all their wishes. The couple were unable to resist the quadruplets at all.
Valencia didn’t bother to speak because the quadruplets had faced their grandparents — which meant that there was nothing Valencia could say that would make them stay at home. It’s not as if Valencia could stop them either when they were facing her with those beautiful eyes of theirs.
“Yes. Yes. My darlings.” Without hesitation, Hazel bent to their level and happily responded. Immediately, she wrapped her arms around them and engulfed them in a tight hug.
“Mom.” The quadruplets immediately turned to Valencia as if to receive her permission.
Valencia chuckled and ruffled their hair in amusement. Smart rascals. They had convinced their grandparents first before turning to her. How could she refuse them now? She poked their cheeks and nodded with a smile.
The quadruplets’ eyes lit up and they immediately threw their hands in the air out of excitement. “Yes!”
Immediately, they all made their way toward the car, which drove toward the company.
Holding the quadruplets’ hands, Hazel and Quist led Valencia to the company conference hall. The secretary immediately bowed to them and opened the door.
“Let’s begin.”
