(Freya's POV).
"Tristan!" I called out to him when I saw him walking through the door, alone. I rush to him and give him a hug.
"Hey, Freya?" He chuckles when he calls me by my real name.
I laughed with him. "You can call me Vivian if you want. Even though I have reverted to my identity, I am still your little sister," I told him.
"May I?"
"Yes, of course!" I exclaimed enthusiastically. I glanced back and to my surprise, Adrianne and Mom weren't coming. "Aren't they coming?" I asked him. I was a little disappointed because I thought they had forgotten about all the problems that happened between us after I handed over all the inheritance and the CEO position in the company.
"Sorry about that, Vivian. I've invited them, but it looks like they need some time," Tristan said, looking guilty as he said it.
I know. Everything takes time. It's not easy for them to forgive me, and I understand that. But I was happy enough that Tristan wanted to attend the party that Devan's mother was throwing.
"It's okay. While you're here, I'm already feeling very happy Tristan," I said.
He smiled, taking in my appearance. "You look very pretty tonight," he complimented.
"Oh, really? Adam chose this dress," I chuckled.
"Where's Adam?" Tristan immediately cast his eyes around for Adam.
"He's with Aiden. Come, I'll introduce you to Devan's parents, and Aiden too," I said as I took Tristan's hand through the guests.
I saw Devan and his parents chatting with one of the guests. Meanwhile, Aiden is helping Adam choose the food on the table. I approached them with a smile.
"Dev, Mom," I greeted them.
"Yes, my dear?" Devan's mother was the first to greet me with a friendly smile. She immediately hugged me and gave me a quick peck on the cheek.
"Mom, this is Tristan. My brother," I said, introducing him to the Devan family.
"Oh! I am Zabrina, and this is my husband, Gallen. I heard about you from Freya. Thank you for taking good care of Freya," said Zabrina, Devan's mother. She hugged Tristan for a long time. "I mean it. Thank you for being so kind to her and Adam."
"Yes, it's my duty as her family. Even though I'm not from a blood family, I love Freya," he admitted.
"You are very kind and handsome. I'm sure the woman who will be with you will be very lucky," Zabrina teased with a chuckle.
Tristan could only smile in embarrassment at what she said. It seemed like he was still awkward talking to Devan's family.
Devan suddenly grabbed my hand and wrapped his arm around my waist. He gently extended a hand towards Tristan.
"Thanks for everything," he said suddenly.
"What?" asked Tristan as he frowned, confused. I was also confused by what Devan was saying.
"Because you took care of Freya and Adam during my absence. I will never forget your kindness," Devan said.
"Your mother just thanked me," Tristan said.
"I declared him Freya's husband."
"Dev..." I looked at him uneasily.
"Well, all right. I accept your thanks. Since she has returned to you, please take good care of her. If you hurt her, you know what I'll do, right?" he chuckled as he shook Devan's hand. But I could feel the tension building between them.
"That will never happen. I will make sure Freya is always happy beside me," Devan said confidently.
I felt so moved by what he said. If Theo was here, he'd be so happy that I'm living happily with Devan and having a child as cute as Adam because, for a long time, he really wanted to see me have a child after I told him I was married. But I'm sure he must have seen it from up there.

The party went smoothly. Zabrina and Gallen officially announced to everyone that I was their long-lost daughter-in-law and had a grandson who was as sweet and adorable as Adam.
My happiness doubled that night. I have an understanding husband like Devan, and an older brother who loves me like Tristan. And a handsome and adorable boy like Adam. Also the best family.
I hope that all this will continue until later and that no more sorrow will come to us. That is my last prayer and hope. Hopefully, Theo's ears would guard me from all the ugliness that was trying to destroy my happiness.
I gasped in shock, my eyes widening perfectly as I saw Aiden with Adam and I saw Theo standing next to him smiling at me. I blinked my eyes repeatedly to confirm whether I was looking at the wrong person or not. But it really was Theo!
My body got goosebumps right then and there. My eyes heated up and tears welled up in my eyes without me realizing it. With my eyes, I saw Theo smiling at me as if to say that he had seen us happy and he was happy too.
I squeezed my chest, which felt tight. I couldn't contain my sadness and happiness. For years I had never dreamt of Theo and now suddenly he appeared before me after I was happy with Devan. I literally got goosebumps seeing him, so grateful that he was also happy to see me happy.
"Theo..." I longed to hug him and tell him that I now had a full family.
"Freya..."
"Fey...."
"Fey!"
I gasped in shock as I came to my senses when Devan shook my body with panic on his face. His eyes widened with worry as he saw me suddenly crying.
"What's going on? Why are you suddenly crying like this?" he asked. But I was getting more and more worried as I tried to glance over at Adam and Theo was no longer there. "Fuck! Fey!" he frantically hugged me tightly.
