“Dad! Mom! Are you inside?” Willy called out as he walked into the yard of his parents’ house. “Son! No work today?” Caleb was practicing calligraphy when he heard Willy’s voice and quickly invited him in. “Dad, practicing your writing again? Where’s Mom? I have something important to discuss with both of you.” “She’s inside. What’s so important that my eldest son needs our advice?” Caleb teased. “It’s... pretty big, actually. Mom!” Willy called, sitting down with both parents in the yard. Once they were gathered, Willy finally spoke up. “Dad, Mom, I’ve decided to propose to Violet.”&

After the family checked into the hotel, Penelope gazed out the window, lost in thought. Caleb sat quietly beside her, fully aware of the hardships she had endured over the years.Meanwhile, Logan and Valentina were reporting to Willy about their recent progress.“Boss, Willy Environmental has now signed agreements with cities in 14 provinces to establish branches. Two cities have already completed the basic setup of their projects. After we wrap things up in M City, Valentina and I are planning to head to K State to oversee the air filtration units,” Logan said.“You two have worked hard!” Willy praised them.“Not at all, boss. By the way, please take a look at these.” Logan began opening several boxes on the floor.

 The next morning, Spencer arrived early at the western restaurant in Borui Tianfu with Timothy and Zora. The three of them sat at the pre-arranged table, feeling a little tense and uneasy. “Dad, you’re the one handling the business talks today, right?” Timothy asked, trying to make sure of the situation. “Who else would? Do you think you can handle it?” Spencer snapped, clearly frustrated. “Dad, please, the guests are already here. Don’t get angry now,” Timothy quickly tried to defuse the situation. Spencer looked at his son and felt a pang of frustration. It seemed like The Norris Family might really fall apart under his management. He couldn’t help but feel hopeless, especially when he

 "Hmph!" "Penelope! You've been in Washington all these years? Why haven't you come back to visit me? I've tried reaching you several times, but you wouldn't answer my calls!" Spencer exclaimed, feeling a mix of frustration and sadness. "Little sister, big sister's health has been poor all these years.

"Willy! What do you mean by 'it might be too late'? Tell Mom clearly!" Penelope immediately asked, her voice filled with excitement."Huh? Oh, it's nothing..." Willy panicked inwardly. He had said too much! But seeing how his parents were even more excited than he was, he started to feel less inclined to hide things from them anymore."Willy, tell Mom, I can accept anything! You're at the right age now, and so is Violet! Be honest, is she...?" Penelope asked, her tone slightly probing."Ah, Mom! Why are you asking me this?" Willy stammered, feeling awkward."Haha, don't hide it from your lover. Son, you're embarrassed, aren't you? So, that must be it!" Penelope teased."Ah, this is just too great! This year has been so happy for me! First, I found my long-lost son, and that joy hasn’t even worn off yet. Now, I’m going to be a grandmother! Darling, hug me!
