Chapter 2064

"Mom, you won't believe it, Paige called my brother her future son-in-law yesterday and his face turned as red as a cooked lobster!" Ivy tattled.

"You little rascal, are you trying to get me in trouble?" Paige tried to scoop up Ivy.

Baillie chuckled and quickly stepped in to stop her, "No heavy lifting, remember?"

"But I'm not heavy!" Ivy protested. But she didn't try to climb onto her mother either..

Mom had always said that childbirth was really hard on the body, and since her godmother had just given birth to her little girl not long ago, she was still recovering, and she needed to be gentle and careful. "IL apologize, Ivy, that was a poor choice of words," Baillie said, smiling at her.

"I'll forgive you for my little sister's sake!" Ivy declared as she climbed into their car and buckled herself into her booster seat.

Rosalynn glanced at Wayne and saw him looking at their daughter with a doting smile. Her worries seemed to temporarily dissolve.

A few minutes later, they were joined by little Cory.

Seeing Wayne and Rosalynn return, the joy in Cory's eyes was evident. He was excited for their camping trip and had made a lot of preparations, especially since Molly was joining too. Recently, Molly had been following Calvin around and had developed a strong interest in insects. Cory decided to build a bug lamp to collect insects from the woods for Calvin and Molly. The lamp was already finished.

He had been a bit disappointed, thinking that their parents might not come back in time and the camping trip would be canceled.

Once they were all in the car, Ivy shared her the story about Baillie calling her heavy. But she ended it on a positive note, saying she had forgiven him for Trista's sake.

"Little Trista sure has some pull in this family" Cory said, giving a thumbs up.

"Of course, she's our youngest and most precious darling!" Ivy said proudly, patting her backpack. "I even brought a gift for her today!"

Listening to their daughter, Wayne whispered to Rosalynn, "Ivy told me she wants to give Trista a present every day."

"Every day?" Rosalynn was surprised.

"Yep, every day."

"I can't wait to see what variety of gifts your daughter comes up with, Rosalynn said, genuinely curious.

Back at Moonlit Lake, Rosalynn's car was parked first. Ivy couldn't wait to get out and ran towards the elevator, calling out for her sister.

By the time Baillie had parked, Ivy had already gone up in the elevator on her own.

"Ivy really is the best big sister,' Paige said with a smile, then she turned to Cory. "Cory..."

"Paige, please!" Cory interrupted, making a stop gesture with his hand before quickly walking away.

"Look at how you've embarrassed my son!" Rosalynn said in a low voice.

Wayne put his arm around her shoulder, joining in the laughter.

Paige watched all this and for a moment it felt like everything that had happened before was a dream, like Wayne had never been hurt and gotten sick. But reality is cruel, and Rosalynn's bruised neck was still visible. The concealer that had rubbed off on her collar was clearly visible.

"Let's go upstairs. I'm really curious about what Ivy got for Trista", Rosalynn said.

The four of them then went to the living room. As soon as they arrived, they saw Ivy sitting on the carpet, presenting a small octopus made from clay. "Trista, I made this during my art class. It's for you!"

Trista, sitting in Calvin's lap, drooling all over her chin, giggled at her sister.

Ivy couldn't resist. She put down the octopus, leaned over to her sister, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Oh Trista, you're too adorable. I love you the most!"
