Chapter 3173 I Didn't Know He'd Come

Still, having a child was Vivian's wish now.

Vivian thought that she could wait until after she graduated and had a stable job. Then, she could adopt a child from an orphanage.

The thought brought a smile to her face, deepening her anticipation for a bright future.

After the kids delivered their gifts, they sat down quietly to read.

Around five in the afternoon, the invited guests began to arrive.

Luke also wrapped up his work and came downstairs to greet the guests.

Even though he was the esteemed Mr. Crawford, the attendees were all his friends and family. Hence, he did not put on airs. Instead, he chatted with a few friends while accompanied by Lanie.

The men mainly talked about work. There had been quite a few developments in A City recently.

For instance, the bidding for the suburban development was about to start, and they were determined to win this project. Luke had not invited the Norman family to avoid any conflicts of interest because of the bidding project.

Moreover, Matysh's case was about to go to trial. With two cases back-to- back, the Norman family would be preoccupied with their own court proceedings.

At the thought of the emotional toll Leia's situation would take on the elderly couple, Luke chose not to invite them to the gathering.

While the men discussed work, the women talked about family and children.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Luca and Aunt Neile were bringing out the ingredients and preparing to ask the men to help light the charcoal when someone walked in through the door. It was Louis.

"You're here." Luke nodded at him.

"Hey, Luke." Louis nodded back.
