Connor watched the commotion unfold around him. As someone entered the room, they kicked playfully and exclaimed, "What's all this chaos about? You scared my wife away. I'll send you all to Africa to mine if you keep it up." Matt strolled over with a cheeky grin, "We just wanted to show your wife she's part of the family now, Connor. Since you're hitched, she's our gem too."

Connor feigned another kick at him. Matt quickly ducked behind Chloe, "See, Connor's picking on me."

Chloe finally understood. Birds of a feather flock together. These guys were just as good at being playful as Connor was. Watching them mess around, Chloe felt her spirits lift. After a bit of horsing around, everyone headed inside. The person on the sofa stood up.

"Ms. Eve, long time no see," Chloe said, taking the initiative to greet her.

Eve was Devon's sister. She had given up a chance to study abroad for Connor and moved to Riverbrook two months back. The last time they'd met was probably here, too. Eve looked like she was about to blow a fuse. "Did you really get married?"

Connor casually pulled out two red marriage certificates from his pocket and flashed them around. "See for yourselves."

Matt tried to snatch one, "Wow, who'd have thought you'd be the first among us to tie the knot? Let me have a look."

But Connor quickly tucked them back into his pocket, "Don't smudge them."
