Amanda returned earlier than Rayleigh as her court session in the afternoon had been delayed. When she returned, John and Lilia were having afternoon tea with the younger generation in the garden. Jack and Wesley were playing in the yard, occasionally flipping their bellies to bask in the sun. Laughter would be heard from time to time, and Amanda would smile.
Their children were more mature. After the age of ten, there was almost no laughter. They were also very mature in their actions and words, and did not do anything out of line. Ever since Xiao Qiao married into the family, there was more laughter in the house. She was a straightforward person. Even though John and Rayleigh were so angry at times, she did not say anything. Sometimes, she told funny stories that made the elders laugh. Sometimes, she could laugh the whole day just by watching her fight with Wesley.
If there was another mu Yuan now, it would be perfect.
