On usual days when they barbecued in the yard, the neighbors complained about the smell. But today, not only did no one mind, but several even started barbecuing themselves, coming over to borrow sauce or bring over some Boston lobster and sea food.

The reason was simple. The yard was filled with big shots.

As soon as Quinlyn arrived, she was surrounded by familiar faces. There was a team of experts she had worked with to build the anti–magnetic device.

An expert said, “Quinlyn, when can we discuss the principles behind the magnetic storm regions again? We’ve already applied for the invention award, but we still believe further improvements can be made, and it can be applied to more fields.”

Some high–ranking military officials were also there. “Although we didn’t have much time together, we’re here to thank you for your contributions. The first–class medal is a certainty, and we hope to have the chance to work together again in the future, Quinlyn.”

And then there were the Grade 12 rich kids. “We heard you’re having a birthday party, and when it comes to organizing events, we’re the best. Please don’t turn us down, or our parents who are eager to return the favor might break our legs.”

Finally, Quinlyn managed to carry a big plate of barbecue to a group of elderly folks after more than half an hour. “Hello,” she greeted them politely before reaching Edward. She divided the meat and said, “This isn’t spicy; you can have it.”

Seeing that she remembered his taste, Edward was filled with delight. He chuckled as he started eating. “Food from my granddaughter just tastes better.”

The elderly crowd nearby couldn’t stand Edward’s showing off.

Curtis, Antonio, Leonard, and the others were a bit envious, but they knew that Edward was the first to recognize Quinlyn’s potential and treat them well. So out of gratitude, Quinlyn favored Edward.

“I just heard you took in a mother and her child.” Antonio had been keeping up with the developments since the morning news about the kidnapping.

“Yeah, Mrs. Suarez and Quinton feel like family to me now.” Quinlyn didn’t find it strange to call them family after just meeting them, and she wasn’t just being polite. Having always felt rootless, she truly acknowledged those who were legally considered family. –
