The guests gathered around the two little ones, showering them with compliments and affection.
Sheena instructed Elliot and Freida to keep a close eye on the babies, ensuring they were always within sight, no more than a meter away.
Like rare animals, the twins were to be looked at but not touched, let alone held.
Sheena herself welcomed guests at the door.
Before long, Howard arrived, dressed to impress, carrying generous gifts.
Sheena noticed he was alone and asked, “Why did you come alone today? Didn’t you wait for Phoebe?” $
Howard’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. “She’s been quite busy with her shoots lately, and | don’t know who’s been talking to her, but | feel like she’s been distancing herself from me lately.”
“Did you upset her?”
“No!” Howard pondered for a moment. “A couple’s occasional argument is normal, right? She wasn’t like this before, but she’s been particularly cold toward me lately.”
“Well, if | have time, I'll ask her for you.” “Don’t worry. I'll handle my own affairs.”
Sheena patted his shoulder and earnestly advised, “Howard, you’re a man. How can you argue with a girl? In the future, try to avoid quarrels and be more accommodating. Too many arguments can hurt her feelings.”
“| understand.” Howard nodded, obediently heeding her advice.
Remembering someone’s instructions, he continued earnestly, “Oh, by the way, Noah happened to fly to Farlem last night, so he probably won’t make it back. He wrote a check and said he'll bring small
gifts for Asher and Adora when he returns to Svelton next time.”
Noah flew to Farlem?

Sheena could not resist a teasing grin. “He has no significant business in Farlem, so what is he doing there?”
Howard beamed proudly at her. “He’s obviously there to pursue Hannah! But it might not be easy this time. He’s been putting on airs for the past half year, and now that she’s engaged, he finally came to his senses. He’s probably in for a rough ride.”
Sheena chuckled mischievously, wasting no opportunity to jest. “Well, serves him right! Who asked him to act so aloof, always sporting that poker face? He needs a girl who can tame him.”
Howard agreed wholeheartedly, nodding along.
As they chatted, Barbara arrived soon after, alone.
Howard noticed and casually mM inquired, “Barb rant ete you'here alorer Pidabe read the original

Howard observed her carefully and, seeing no sign of resentment, ventured another question. “Barbara, is he still reading those scriptures?”
Barbara nodded. “He’s like a fanatic, punishing himself like crazy. Rain or shine, freezing cold or even with a fever, he insists on reciting those scriptures.”
She sighed silently, her eyes reddening unintentionally. However, remembering that today was her children’s baby shower, she forced a smile.
Sheena felt a strange tug at her heart but simply said, “I’ve reminded him more than once to stop, but he’s too stubborn. Unless he has a change of heart, no one can convince him.”
The atmosphere among the three suddenly grew heavy.
After a few moments of silence, Sheena was the first to smile and steer the conversation back.
“Howard, Barbara, why don’t you two go inside? Asher and Adora are with Elliot. Go and play with the little ones.” They nodded, quickly regaining their harmony, and entered the house with laughter and
conversation.
