âAre you planning to resume the serialization of the manga that you previously interrupted?â asked Camille.
âOkay,â said Valda, âI donât want that story to just end like that. I hope it can be a story with a proper beginning and end.â
âBut if we want to resume the serialization, it will be difficult. After all, unless itâs a highly popular work, other works with average popularity that resume serialization will only have a rushed ending,â said Camille. âAlthough you are Brianâs fiancée now, the CEO will still want to save face to some extent, but he wonât do a losing business deal just for you!â
After all, businessmen ultimately value profits the most!
âI understand that if the work doesnât work out after reopening, I will wrap it up,â Valda said. âBut itâs a story that I really like. Itâs a serialized comic story that I started with Brian after we met. Sol hope that this story can have a good ending too.â
âOkay, Iâll help you prepare. Your story had a good response when it was serialized before you disappeared. We even planned to publish it as a book, but it didnât happen because of your disappearance. Maybe if you start the serialization again, it will have a good outcome!â Camille smiled and stood up, saying, âIâll go back to the magazine first.â
âBy the way, donât forget to come over to my new house tonight for a get-together,â Valda reminded.
Camille smiled and said, âI canât forget it. So many important people are going today. This kind of gathering is rare, and I canât miss it.â
In the evening, Valda hosted a small gathering in her newly purchased house, with a self-service buffet-
style setup.
Of course, Brian also brought over some of the cooks and servants from the villa to make it easier to prepare food for gatherings and to clean up.
The first to arrive was Amber, and Simon also came. The little guy even prepared a small gift, a homemade congratulatory card. âDonât you dare look down on this card.
Although itâs not worth any money, as the teacher said, itâs the thought that counts!â
The little one seemed to be afraid that Valda would dislike him, so he spoke first.
Valda smiled and said, âWhy would I dislike it? I really like the card you made, and I will keep it safe!â
Upon hearing her say this, the little one finally showed a satisfied expression.
Subsequently, others arrived one after another. Grace came with her triplets and Veronica Barlow. Graceâs youngest daughter was not brought along due to her young age. Kyla and Martin also brought Nelson. Hadwin and Lina came alone. It seemed like the three families had an unspoken agreement to not bring their youngest children.
However, despite that, there is already a full house of people in this room. With six children and a bunch of adults, Valda feels that the living room, which was originally spacious, now seems crowded.
Fortunately, the house is on the ground floor and has a fairly large yard. The children are all playing in the yard, so they are not crowded in the living room.
Camille looked at the people in the room and could only sigh.
If a photo was taken and posted online, it would surely cause a sensation.
She had only seen people like Jason, Martin, and Hadwin in the news before, but now she had the chance to see them in person.
At the moment, a few women are gathered together chatting about their children and discussing Valda and Brianâs upcoming wedding.
âBy the way, youâre living with Brian now. If you get pregnant, will you have to move up your wedding date?â Lina asked.
She tends to speak in a straightforward and unreserved manner, without much pretense.
Valdaâs face turned red, âUm⦠I donât think so.â
âDo you use contraception?â Lina asked.
Valdaâs face turned even redder. Most of the time, she does remember to do it, but occasionally, in moments of impulsiveness, she forgets.
But how can she say these words?
âThis kind of thing, thereâs really no telling, it often comes unexpectedly. You think itâll come, but sometimes it doesnât, and when you donât expect it, it comes.â
Lina said.
