The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 1188

The whole room burst into laughter thanks to a single comment from little Isaiah, something nobody saw coming.

Anna pinched his tiny face, "Looks like you're going to be my ring bearer today, Juliette. Feeling nervous?"

"Not at all! I'll nail it," Juliette boasted, confident in her ability to handle such a minor task.

Anna was nearly overwhelmed by Juliette's cuteness. Vivian's kids had gradually changed her perspective on children. Smart, well-mannered, and adorable - what's not to love? Leopold chimed in, "Who's well-mannered? Who are we talking about here?"

Juliette retorted, "What, godfather, got a problem with me being praised?"

Vivian didn't say a word, just glanced at Juliette, her sly look in Anna's arms making her shake her head in resignation. That child sure had a way with words.

"Since you're awake, go get changed, and then Vivian will do your makeup. Don't hold up Anna's wedding; there's still so much she needs to get ready," Vivian playfully ordered Juliette away. Juliette hopped off Anna's lap, saluted Vivian, and loudly declared, "Aye, aye, captain! I'm on it!"

Anna couldn't help but laugh again. Meanwhile, Isaiah, awakened by his sister's loud declaration, sat up in bed, looking groggily at Vivian and Anna.

Vivian noticed her son awake and went over, "Had a good sleep?"

Isaiah, still half-asleep, reached for a hug from Vivian, who expertly scooped him up. It was rare for him to show such childlike behavior.

Isaiah soon woke up more fully, squirming uncomfortably in Vivian's embrace, his ears turning red.
