Chapter 886: She is Alina, the Daughter of the Brookes Family

Poppy Swanson twirled around in confusion and wonder, feeling the brightness above her. She stretched out her tiny hands, trying to touch the light, her face glowing with happiness. Natalie and Ruud stood nearby, admiring the enchanting scene. Watching Poppy's joy, gentle smiles appeared on their faces.

When the fireflies began to scatter, Poppy, tired from playing, kicked her small legs and toddled over to Natalie. In a soft, sweet voice, he reached out his arms and said, "Auntie, hug me~."

Natalie's heart melted. For a moment, she was reminded of a young Tina asking for hugs in the same way. Her expression softened as she picked up Poppy and cradled him in her arms. "It's about time," she said gently. "Your family is already in the main hall waiting for you. You've seen the fireflies, so let's go back now, okay?"

Poppy placed his chubby little hand on Natalie's face and said, "Auntie, thank you for taking me to see the fireflies. Can we play together again next time?"

Natalie couldn't resist his adorableness. "Of course! But it's late now, so you should go home and sleep early to grow taller. Otherwise, you won't even be able to lift a small shovel in the future!"

Poppy nodded obediently, his bright eyes filled with affection for the auntie he had grown to like so much. He loved the comforting aura that surrounded her.

In the banquet hall, two servants from the Swanson family were already waiting anxiously. The moment they saw Natalie carrying Poppy, they rushed forward in a panic.

"Young Master, are you okay? You didn't get hurt, did you?" one of them asked, worry etched across her face.

"The two of you went out with Miss River without telling us! The master was so worried!" the other added, both of their eyes scanning Poppy from head to toe to ensure he was unharmed.

Natalie noticed how attentive the Swanson family staff were toward Poppy. She smiled and gently placed him on the ground. "Little one, I'll leave you here now. Go home with them and don't let your family worry anymore." Poppy stood firmly on the ground, his small face serious as he addressed the two servants. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I had so much fun with Auntie tonight. I saw fireflies and even a shovel!"

The two servants exchanged puzzled glances. A shovel? Were they thinking about the same kind of shovel?
