Brenda prepared a large table of dishes, all of which were Sadie's and the children's favorites, as well as a few French dishes that Micah loved.

Those were prepared by the housekeeper.

The family gathered around the table with excitement.

Brenda apologized, "Mr. Clemens, I spoke with the housekeeper, and she mentioned your fondness for French cuisine. However, I'm unable to prepare it myself. Therefore, she kindly prepared a few dishes for you. I plan to learn from her tomorrow so I can cook for you next time.

"It's okay. I also want to taste your cooking."

Micah pulled out the chair next to him, letting Sadie sit first before sitting down beside her.

"Great, give it a try and see if you like it."

Brenda immediately forked a piece of beef to Micah.

"Thank you." Micah tasted it and nodded approvingly. "Hmm, it's delicious."

"Really? That's great." Brenda was very happy. "I was worried that you wouldn't like my cooking. Hope you enjoy it."

"I like it." Micah also picked a piece for Sadie. Then, he noticed that Brenda and the children were all looking at him. "Don't just stare at me, let's eat."

"Micah eats, Mommy eats, Brenda eats!"

After the children politely greeted each other, they began to eat. They all praised Brenda's cooking as delicious.

Brenda was exhilarated and repeatedly said that she would not go to the hospital anymore. She wanted to cook for them at home.

Sadie scooped her a bowl of soup and reminded Brenda to take good care of herself so she could watch the children grow up.

Brenda nodded, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.

Micah silently finished his meal, but his gaze was unusually gentle.

Since he could remember, he had never had a meal like this, with such a big family sitting together.

For the past 28 years, he had been used to living alone.

Occasionally, he would be with his grandfather, but the atmosphere was always serious.

Moreover, his grandfather's teachings were very strict. He had set various rules for him, such as no talking during meals, let alone laughing...

But he felt that being together like this, harmonious and joyful, was the real feeling of having a family.

After dinner, Micah took the children to their play area.

Sadie hadn't left the house for a few days. She knew there was a medical room behind the villa, but she didn't know there was also a children's play area in the garden. When the three children saw the play area, they were so happy that they almost jumped up.

Noah and Mia immediately ran over and started to play, and Nathan shouted anxiously, "Wait for me. I want to play too!"

"Nathan, be good. Let me take you on the swing, okay?" Sienna coaxed him.

"I want to go on the slide."

Nathan pointed to the tall spiral slide.

Noah and Mia had climbed up and were now holding out their arms, cheering when they slid down. They couldn't be happier.

"But what if it hurts your leg?" Sienna hesitated. "Your injury still hasn't fully healed."

"It's fine. Let him go," Micah dismissed her concerns. "Boys don't have to be so careful."

"Okay." Sienna reluctantly pushed Nathan towards the slide, carefully helping him up.

"Let go of me. I can do it myself," Nathan protested.

Nathan held onto the edge of the stairs and found a way to climb up on his own. Though it was a bit difficult, he managed to make it to the top.

"I made it, I made it!" Nathan raised his hands in triumph, forgetting his injured foot. However, he lost his balance and tumbled down the stairs. "Ah!" Sadie and Brenda screamed in terror.

Before they could react, Micah dashed forward quickly and caught Nathan safely.

Nathan's face went pale as he fell into Micah's arms. Gasping for breath and then overcoming with fear, Nathan choked up. "Ugh, Micah..." "As a young man, is this something to cry about? No tears," Micah commanded.

"Yes." Nathan quickly swallowed his tears, pouted, took a deep breath, and looked gratefully at Micah. "Thank you, Micah!"

"Call me Dad," Micah ordered.

"Dad!" Nathan yelled out.

After saying it, he froze...
