Chapter 1025: The Whole Family Stands Behind Paula

When the group photo was finished and handed over, Tina was left speechless.

Among the dozen or so people, only she and Master Tam stood out the most-dressed in bright red, they were like two festive "mascots."

To make matters worse, they were placed right in the center of the photo.

But the others, upon seeing the picture, were delighted and scrambled to save it.

Master Tam, always carefree, and Serena, who rarely participated in such things, had made this the first time Serenity Ridge had gathered so completely. Truly, this photo was their "family portrait."

Jimmy glanced at the photo, now set as his screen wallpaper, and nodded in satisfaction. "Hayden, well done. Thoughtful of you!"

"I'll have this printed and hung by my bedside," he added with a grin. "Hayden, you've really scored big this time."

Hayden beamed with pride, nodding in acknowledgment.

Noticing the faint tear streaks still visible on his face, Paula's heart softened. She handed him a tissue under the table. "Wipe it off quickly, or they'll make fun of you." Master Tam, sitting nearby, let out a hearty laugh. "What's the big deal? We're well aware of Hayden's capabilities. We've seen him handle far bigger situations."

Hayden's face flushed. "Master, could you not bring up my embarrassing moments today? Paula's right here!"

Master Tam chuckled even more loudly. "Alright, alright." After all, his disciple had grown up, and some face had to be given.

Still, there were things a master had to say. Hayden was the first among the group to get married, and as Master Tam, he couldn't let the occasion pass without some advice.

"Paula..."

Hearing her name, Paula put down what she was holding, sat up straight, and answered seriously, "Yes, Master. I'm listening."

Master Tam nodded in satisfaction. "Don't be afraid. Now that you've called me 'Master,' I promise to have your back."

"Among all my disciples, Hayden has the simplest personality-put bluntly, he's a bit dense. If he ever upsets you, don't hold back. Scold him, hit him if you must. And if that doesn't work, come to me or Serena. I guarantee we'll teach him a lesson and make him obedient to you."

Tina nodded in agreement, showing her support.
