"Honey, would you like to introduce us?" If she didn''t clear this up soon, the misunderstanding would get worse.


    The man in front of her might only be six or seven years older; he definitely didn''t want to lower her seniority for no


    reason.


    "Honey?" The man''s expression was even more shocked as he blinked his eyes. "Keh, what are you doing? How old is this girl? And you''re going for her? Hey, girl, if you''re being forced, just blink at me!" Ophelia was speechless again and looked to Keh for help..


    Keh exined, "This is the one who got his brain treated by Ronin. And he slept for a year and a half, even worse than Scott. What do you think?"


    Ophelia thought, ''Is it certain he''s been treated and came out alright?"


    Ophelia patiently introduced herself, "Hello, I''m Keh''s wife. My name is Ophelia, and I''m... well, I''m an adult." Her tone almost sounded like talking to a child.


    Hearing Ophelia beside him introduce herself in such a way, Keh couldn''t help but smile. He lifted his chin a bit, and even the person in front of him didn''t seem so foolish anymore


    Noah also introduced himself to Ophelia, "Oh, I see! Nice to meet you. Hi, I''m Noah. N, O, A, H. Noah!"


    Ophelia twitched the corner of her mouth, amused and thankful for his exnation. Otherwise, she would have forgotten what the letters of the alphabet looked like.


    Just then, the phone in her pocket started ringing with a video call alert. The time on the phone showed 12:01 AM, exactly when the New Year''s bells chimed in Heloria.


    "I need to take a video call." She gave Noah a nod and turned back to her room.


    She answered the call, and a chubby-cheeked little face appeared on the screen. "Happy New Year, Ophelia!"


    Wyatt''s sweet voice rang out, still with a tone of youthful innocence. His long eyshes framedrge, grape-like eyes, and his cheeks were so chubby they seemed to beg for a pinch even through the screen. Ophelia said happily, "Happy New Year, Wyatt! I''ll give you a present when I get back. Where''s your mom?"


    Wyatt swiveled the camera around to face Chloe. Chloe walked out from the open kitchen, her face lighting up genuine joy when she saw Ophelia. "Happy New Year, Elia!"


    with


    Ophelia replied, "Happy New Year, Chloe."


    Wyatt''s little face was half visible on the screen, with Chloe sitting beside him. Chloe asked, "Has Scott arranged everything?"


    Ophelia said, "Yeah, everything''s ready."


    "Ophelia, where''s Ken?" Wyatt tilted his head, sounding like a little adult.


    She knew that by "Ken" Wyatt meant Keh. The little guy had only met him once but already remembered.


    Ophelia asked, "Ken''s outside. Do you want to wish him a happy new year?"


    Wyatt pouted as if deciding whether he should or shouldn''t, then gave a shy smile.


    Ophelia stuck her head out of the room, holding her phone. She nced around. "Kenny, could youe here for a


    moment?"


    Hearing Ophelia call him, Keh immediately got up from the guest area and walked over. Right behind him was Noah. Ophelia took Keh''s arm and held up her phone. Wyatt said on the other hand of the phone, "Happy New Year, Ken." Keh''s pupils slightly widened, his sharp brows raised. "Happy New Year, Wyatt."


    His face didn''t show much emotion, but his tone was incredibly gentle. It was the first time Ophelia heard him speak so gently to someone other than herself.


    For some reason, she suddenly had an idea. When they got back, she wanted to bring Wyatt to Rosewood Manor for a few days, to let Keh feel what it''s like to be a father.


    Maybe then he wouldn''t be so against the idea of having a baby with her.


    "Wow, you guys already have such a grown-up kid?" Noah leaned in, his face almost touching the screen.


    On the phone, on the big screen, Wyatt tilted his head and blinked those big eyes, while on the small screen, Noah tilted his head in the opposite direction, widening his eyes.


    The two were on the phone, staring at each other, eyes locked in silence. Suddenly, it indicated that the other person had hung up.


    "Why did they hang up?" Ophelia put her phone away.


    Keh nced with mild disdain at Noah who had been hogging the spotlight. "Probably Wyatt''s got freaked out by Noah. Looking that ugly, he shouldn''t be scaring people around here."


    Noah didn''t argue; in fact, he didn''t have much of a viewpoint on appearances. "Was that little kid just now your child?" "No, he''s my friend''s kid." She wished she could have a child as well-behaved as Wyatt.


    Keh reverted to his usual distant demeanor, giving Noah a cold stare. "It''s time for you to leave."


    Noah made an OK gesture, as the important matters had already been discussed. With his hands tucked into the pockets of his ck coat, he casually strolled out of the vi.


    In the chat window, Chloe sent a message to Ophelia. [Wyatt is sleepy, off to bed now. Elia, wishing you happiness in the New Year!]


    [Thank you, Chloe!] After replying Chloe, Ophelia''s WhatsApp interface was flooded with messages wishing a Happy New Year.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Marilyn: [Happy New Year, Ophelia!]


    William: [Happy New Year! Best wishes to you and your family for a year filled with sess and joy. By Director William Martin]


    ''Is this a mass message?'' Ophelia thought to herself with a smile and sent back a New Year emoji to William.


    Kevin: [Happy New Year, Elia!]


    James: [Happy New Year, littledy.] His message was along with a photo of him and Kevin having New Year''s Eve dinner together.


    Ophelia thought, "These two? Celebrating New Year together? The photo really has the vibe of two old folks staying at home. Bethany: [Sweetheart, Happy New Year!]


    The next moment, the chat window was flooded with memes, one every two seconds... and still counting.


    Bethany, [I don''t miss you enough with these memes, and I''ll have a big hug ready for you when youe home.]


    Rex: [Happy New Year, little fairy!] Attached was a selfie of him in front of a mirror, his charming eyes shining.


    A littleter, he sent over a video. Ophelia clicked on it, revealing a performance from his acting ss. His acting was a bit over-the-top, but it was finally watchablepared to before. Ophelia: [Great job, keep it up!]


    Rex sent her a super happy emoji.


    Jackson sent a memo to Ophelia. [Elia, Happy New Year!] Howard sent a memo to Ophelia. [Elia, Happy New Year!]


    ra sent a memo to Ophelia. [Elia, Happy New Year!]


    Fiy sent a memo to Ophelia. [Elia, Happy New Year!]


    Fiy then sent a memo to Ophelia again. [That one''s from Theo, and this one''s from me.]


    Bethany sent a memo to Ophelia. [I managed to send memes!]


    For a moment, her WhatsApp was filled with various Happy New Year memes. She felt a bit overwhelmed by all the attention.


    Suddenly, a bank notification came through her phone: [Your ount 6699 received a deposit of 27 million dors on January 1st. at 0:10 from "Heloria Bank.]


    Seeing the transfer, she looked up immediately at Keh and saw that he had just put his phone down.


    His smug look seemed to say, "The love I gave you way more than they did!"


    "So many people have sent me New Year''s wishes by memes, I am a little embarrassed."


    "Don''t be polite with them. As Keh''s wife, you have people lining up to curry favor with you."


    Keh leaned in close, his tall figure casting a shadow over her under the light. The next moment, his lips were near her ear. "Happy New Year, my dearest wife."
