Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 165~ New year's eve

"What are your plans for the new year?" Ryan asked Lora on their way to the Kingsley mansion.

Lora smiled and replied, "I would be lying if I said I have any plans. Of course, I would like to take Davis & Co, to greater heights and create a new line of designs, however that's not new. I've always had this plan." "That's true," Ryan agreed.

"Well, I hope the new year is filled with happiness. 20## was filled with so many ups and downs but I'm not complaining. It brought me back to you. I thought we would never be together again but this year, fate brought us together again and gave us more blessings than we could ask for," Lora answered.

Ryan smiled, happiness gleaming through his eyes. He replied, "This has been the best year of my life. I found out I was a father to two adorable children. I got to remarry the woman of my dreams and I knocked her up. What more can I ask for?" "So, no plans for next year?" Lora asked playfully.

"Oh, I have lots. I want us to travel more and hang out with the kids and our family. For 20##, I want to get closer to our loved ones. No one knows tomorrow, so let's make the most of today. I never thought I would get to this new year, so I would like to spend my life with everyone who matters," Ryan replied, turning to give Lora a warm smile.

"Daddy, aren't you going to ask us our plans for the new year?" Ella suddenly asked, making Lora and Ryan chuckle.

Ryan looked through the rearview mirror and said, "Ella and Ethan, what are your plans for the new year?"

Ella cleared her throat and began, "I have a lot of plans. I want to play with my baby sister and brother. I want to go to the theme park with Mommy and Daddy. I want to eat lots of delicious food and have a lot of ice cream. I also want to go on many family trips and have girls' time with Mommy and my baby sister... Um... let me remember my other plans, I'll let you know."

Ryan chuckled. He looked at Ethan and asked, "What about you, buddy?"

"I want to continue learning coding with Uncle Aiden," Ethan replied. "That's all."

"Oh, I see... my son is into the serious stuff," Ryan remarked. He suddenly recalled something and asked, "Wait a minute... Does your coding have anything to do with my missing bitcoins some months ago?"

Ethan suddenly looked guilty and averted his father's gaze, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Lora frowned and asked, "What missing bitcoins?"
