These days, there weren't many people living at the Horton house.

Jake and his mother had already moved out, leaving only Keira and Lewis as the current heads of the household, with Erin still hanging around. Neither Lewis nor Keira were the chatty type, and Erin, well, she was like a firecracker, always going off whenever she saw Ellie. So, to help with hosting the Cobb family today, Keira had given James a quick call to ask him to come over and lend a hand.

James didn't mind. He and Kate had been busy training at Freeman Sect anyway and didn't have much going on. But what Keira hadn't expected was that James would casually mention the whole thing in the family group chat, which then led to all the Olsen brothers immediately chiming in, eager to join the party too.

Charles, unsurprisingly, was the first to jump on the idea. After all, his girlfriend, Erin, was there.

Even Peter showed up, and he'd brought along Jenkins. As for Ellis and Mary, they didn't come—Mary was heavily pregnant now, and Keira didn't want to risk her being around too many people, especially with the South family's shady reputation. No need to give them any excuses.

When the whole crew rolled in, Ellie pouted. "Keera, with all these people here, are you even gonna have time to hang out with me?"

Keira raised an eyebrow and smirked. "They're family. They're here to help me entertain you!"

Ellie's mood shifted instantly, lighting up. "That's awesome!"

Meanwhile, Erin was already long gone, having sprinted over to Charles's side. She offered him a handful of pistachios and was chattering away non-stop, leaving Ellie to watch the scene unfold with curiosity.

"Is that Charles? Erin's boyfriend?" Ellie asked.
