Chapter 389 - Different treatment (1/2)

Next morning, Hill family villa was very lively.

When Jeff and JoAnna entered dining room, they found Sarah standing on Aiden's shoulders while placing small cameras in different places. Maids busied themselves by setting up everything needed for breakfast.

”Hello-hello, Anna and brother-in-law!” Sarah greeted them goofily. ”Don't move so much!” She scolded Aiden.

”You are heavy...” Aiden protested.

”Say that again, if you dare!” Sarah was furious.

JoAnna laughed. ”What are you doing?”

”We need more angles!” Sarah leaped down from Aiden's shoulders. ”For the big reveal...” She whispered to JoAnna.

Aiden greeted his brother and JoAnna while rubbing his shoulders.

”One more there and then we are done.” Sarah instructed Aiden. He frowned, but obediently followed her.

JoAnna watched Sarah climb on top of Aiden to stand on his shoulders to place one more camera. ”When did you arrive?”

”Not long ago... Sophia and Felix should be here any minute. Mom went to change.” Sarah explained and leaped down. ”Done!” Then she instructed Eve to turn on all cameras and to start recording when everyone is seated at the table. ”Oh, this is so exciting!”

”What is so exciting?” Edward entered dining room.

”Breakfast... all of us together after a long time.” JoAnna came to the rescue.

Shortly after, Sophia and Felix arrived. They were all seated at the dining room table when Stella joined them.

”Mom, dad... Felix and I have an announcement to make...” Sophia started anxiously. Everyone listened carefully, Sarah and JoAnna grinned while their gazes didn't leave Stella and Edward.

Seeing that she got their attention, Sophia continued. ”Felix proposed to me, and I said 'yes'. We are engaged.”

Stella and Edward paused for a second before standing up and hugging both Sophia and Felix and congratulating them.

”Why are you just sitting there?” Stella gave scolding looks to other four at the table.

”Mom, we got engaged last weekend in Los Angeles. They already know.” Sophia explained.

”Oh, so we are the last ones to find out?” Edward was disappointed.

”Don't make it sound so bad. We just wanted to tell you when everyone is around.” Sophia coaxed her father.

He nodded but was still not happy.

”Oh, and we got you a present.” Sophia pulled a box from her purse and placed it between Stella and Edward on the table. ”It's from Felix and me... for both of you.” Sophia held Felix's hand and looked at the box with anticipation.

”You open.” Edward told Stella.

Stella opened the box and pulled out a square shaped item which was wrapped in paper. She carefully removed the paper, curious what is inside. It was a photo frame, with a caption: 'Watch out, grandparents! I'm coming February 2020!' There was a picture of an ultrasound and at the bottom signed as '~Baby Martin-Hill~'.

Stella and Edward stared at it for some time, then they looked at each other, then back at the photo frame. Finally, they looked at Sophia and Felix with their eyes wide open.

”Does this mean what I think it does?” Stella whispered.

Sophia smiled and nodded.

Stella looked at Edward whose mind was blank. Stella prodded him with her elbow.

Sarah and JoAnna found their parents to be very funny and giggled.
