A few days later was a big holiday.

A day of festivities around the nation.

Since they were in Eqitin, they had to celebrate together, so that afternoon, Natalia brought Anne and Joy back to the old household.

It was the holidays, but Archie still had some business to take care of in the office and wouldn’t get back until later.

Natalia gave him a call beforehand and had him get back to the old household right after he was done instead of heading back to Pinewood Manor.

The old household was bustling activity. It was rare for them to get back together like one big happy family.

Ariana was overjoyed recently. You couldn’t blame her. In past holidays, either Archie was overseas or Faye couldn’t make it back. Even if they came back, having only four people there made it feel a bit lonely.

This year was different. Seeing her children and grandchildren surround her, Ariana felt a surge of warmth and appeared younger by several years.

It was the holidays, so as a McCarthy, Faye did have to come back for such a big day.

Considering Natalia, though, Ariana did ask her about it indirectly to the side.

Natalia didn’t have too big a grudge against Faye. Faye had only had to leave the country because of the prospecting incident, so it didn’t have too much to do with her.

Now that the prospecting scene was about dealt with, it was natural that she’d come back.

Natalia smiled and soothed the old lady. Seeing that she was fine with it, Ariana relaxed.

That afternoon, Faye was on Natalia’s heels as they went back to the old home.

The two bumped into each other as they entered. Faye still looked as proud as ever, but with her recent blow, she didn’t act out as much. As unwilling as she was to see her, she simply scoffed and headed inside without saying anything.

Natalia didn’t bring it up against her.

She felt that it really wasn’t easy for someone who was almost forty to still behave like a teenager.
