Norah, fuming, attempted to kick him in the rear, "Get out of here!"

Henson dodged swiftly, and they playfully chased each other down the stairs.

Carol gave Xavier a gentle smile, "Those kids are just adorable!"

Xavier, watching Norah's retreating figure, his voice husky and low, murmured, "They really are adorable." Seeing her cuteness seemed to inject him with a bit of energy too.

Once downstairs, Henson suggested, "I just saw a tennis court over there. How about we go play some tennis?"

Carol, eyeing Xavier's athletic build, immediately showed interest, "Oh yes, I love staying active."n"Let's go then!" Norah called for a golf cart in the garden, and they all headed to the tennis court together.

Upon arrival, a staff member came over with rackets and protective gear. Carol grabbed a racket and started, "I'll team up with Mr. Hanson; Norah and Henson can be a team. But, wouldn't that be like picking on the little ones?" Henson glanced at her, saying in a calm voice, "I twisted my ankle a few days ago, the doctor advised against any sports. I'll sit this one out."

Carol, looking concerned, "Oh, what do we do then?"

She turned to Norah, "Are you still up for playing?"

Norah smiled lightly, "If I don't play, Mr. Hanson surely won't either. He'd be too shy to play against a girl alone!"
