Sure enough, with Wilson's help, Georgia and Robert no longer won often. The three had their own wins and losses. Instead, Vanessa also played casually, but she was lucky. So she didn't lose too much.
Playing cards was indeed a good exercise. Besides, it could kill time. They played for three hours.
It was a little dark outside. Annie and Wesley walked over from the toy room.
"Mom, Dad, can you stop playing cards? You said we would build a snowman in the afternoon.
Annie spoke loudly to these adults, and then reminded of them about the snowmen thing. The adults glanced at each other and then laughed at each other.
Elsie stuffed a stack of cash into Annie's hand.
"I just won these. Annie, half of the money will be given for you as the gift, and the other half will be for Wesley."
Annie excitedly accepted the cash. Wesley also took his share. Annie asked curiously.
"Elsie, what about Elis and Sam? Will you prepare gifts for them alone?"
Elsie suddenly became embarrassed.
"They can't speak. I suddenly forgot them. Then I will make up for them. I returned yesterday. I forgot to prepare the gifts. Next year, I will make money by myself. Then I will definitely prepare super big gifts for you guys. But these are what I just won. It's kind of my own money."
After she said this, Vanessa walked over.
"Elsie, the money is what Wilson won back for you."
"Sister, why did you say that in front of them? Can't you just let me show off in front of them for a while?"
Elsie smiled shyly. Then they led the children out to make a snowman.
They had already played snowball fights in the morning. Everyone was sneezing when playing cards in the afternoon, so they didn't play snowball fights, lest they all would catch a cold.
Everyone started shoveling snow, and then built a huge snowman as requested by the two children.
It was still early. So they built up a more snowman and put the two by the side of the gate.
They took out the carrots and the black chess pieces to make the nose and eyes for the snowmen.
Annie brought two red buckets from the kitchen, and put them directly on the snowmen's head. Then they looked like the standard snowmen.
At this time, it had already been dark. Robert asked the butler to come out and first took a picture of Annie and Wesley who stood by the snowmen.
After that, Georgia and Robert walked over with Annie and Wesley. The family of four took a family photo.
Of course, in the end, everyone was standing by the snowman and taking a photo. Elsie, Vanessa and Wilson took another photo. Today's playful life was almost over.
At night, when the food in the kitchen was not ready, Robert received a call from Jason and Jasper.
Today was the new year. Of course they should greet each other.
At dinner, Maisie also came over. These days, Maisie was very silent and rarely came to here.
Georgia was really too busy and was almost in the laboratory every day, so she had less contact with Maisie.
At noon, Georgia invited Maisie over, but she refused. She said that she wanted to stay alone for a while. Georgia didn't know the reason. Robert just told Georgia not to worry about it. He would pay attention on Maisie. So Georgia didn't take care of it too much.
Georgia finally felt relieved when she saw Maisie coming over to have dinner with everyone.
She was also afraid that Maisie was in a bad mood. She was afraid that Maisie remembered those bad things or thought that she and Robert ignored her.
After all, Maisie was Robert's biological mother. It was rare for everyone to have a peaceful and harmonious time together. Georgia didn't want to ruin it.
In the evening, after everyone finished eating, Wilson took Elsie, Vanessa, Elis and Sam to a villa two hundred meters away from Robert's villa.
Wilson deliberately chose there. Now they were neighbors. This was also a gift from Wilson to Elsie.
When Elsie heard that she had such a gift and it was still a super villa, she was pleasantly surprised.
"I just wondered if you were going to prepare a gift for me in the new year, but you kept silent. It turns out that you prepared such a surprise for me!"
Elsie said a little expectantly. Suddenly, Wilson took out a red box from his pocket, then he took out a diamond necklace from it, and put it on Elsie's neck.
"The villa will be yours. I plan to use it as our wedding house. Of course, you can change the decorating style if you don't like it. If you don't even like the house, you can also pick another one."
Elsie kissed Wilson directly in front of everyone. Seeing this, everyone laughed.
Georgia originally thought that Wilson would propose to Elsie, but it didn't. It seemed that their wedding was not far away.
After Elsie and others left, Georgia and Robert took their children to Casey.
Originally, Georgia intended to let her mother, Casey, come over to celebrate the New Year together. Even if Maisie was here, after all, the two had already talked about it last time. But Maisie refused, and Casey also refused.
Casey let Georgia take the children and friends to have a great time. She wanted to talk to Robert's father, Aidan, alone. She even went to his cemetery during the day.
Georgia knew that these were her mother's personal affairs, so she didn't force her mother.
These young people had their own ways to have fun. The elders might not be able to involve with them. So Georgia discussed with Robert that they would go to Casey with the children after having dinner with Maisie.
At more than eight o'clock in the evening, Georgia and Robert brought Annie and Wesley to Casey's place.
Annie and Wesley were wearing red clothes and yelled loudly as soon as they came in.
"Happy New Year!"
Hearing that, Casey laughed. She directly handed the two big fat checks to them.
The two children were like little misers. They accepted the checks in surprise, and then thanked Casey loudly. At the same time, they kissed Casey on the cheek.
In the next few hours, everyone sat in the living room, chatted and watched TV together.
It was so warm.
Georgia felt so happy. Her friends came back. Her mother was here, and the children were here. It seemed that there were no regrets.
When it was about to go to bed at night, Emilia and Ivan called them.
These two people were traveling all over the world now. Georgia and Robert knew it. Georgia also knew that Emilia's main personality had not yet returned. It was another personality who was traveling with Ivan.
"Happy New Year. After I go to a few more places with Ivan, I will go to get the treatment. Gigi, maybe you and I will not be able to see each other. Although I and she share the same body, maybe there are some differences, right? I don't know if I am alive or not after the cure."
Hearing that, Georgia felt sad inexplicably. She didn't know how to comfort her. Because she didn't know what another strict Emilia thinking about this matter.
But Emilia's tone was calm. Besides, Georgia also saw the photos sent by Ivan and Emilia traveling to various places. At least it seemed that everyone was very happy.
Georgia smiled.
"Happy New Year! Enjoy yourself! You must have a good time. If you have time, you can return to see me, Annie and Wesley before you go to get the treatment. My mother is here waiting for you. She misses you."
After twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the children finally couldn't hold on. Georgia and Robert took the children to the bedroom to rest. Casey also went back to her bedroom to rest.
On a small island in Thailand, Margie and Oscar were having supper at the restaurant next to the beach.
