However, Vivian shook her head once again.
"I'm not going back."
"Vivi, you can't carry on like this.He's fine now and only needs some time to regain
consciousness.What is he going to do if you collapse by the time he wakes up simply because you
didn't take care of yourself? Matteo panicked and raised his voice while Nina watched on from the
side.She thought she would be mad since Matteo was asking Vivian to leave Kurt's side.However, she
recalled how Kurt had treated her back at Elysium after hearing Matteo out.
Oh, Kurt...
She had no recollection of the old Kurt since she was only two years old when ten-year-old Kurt was
sentenced to death.She only remembered him after his return.
He loved her a lot, just like how Matteo loved Vivian.
She knew she had a brother who loved her to the moon even though he never told her about it.
"Yeah, he's right.Kurt...wouldn't want to see you like that too."
"What?"
Vivian whipped her head around to face her.
Nina raised her head and stared at her bravely.
"That's right.Kurt was always trying to chase you away back at the palace because he didn't want that
wicked woman to find out about you and hurt you."
Vivian was stunned.
However, Nina wasn't finished yet.
"That's just how he is.He doesn't want to see the people closest to him get hurt.He would rather get
himself hurt than see me, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, or even you hurt.Don't you understand?"
This kid, who looked just seven to eight years old, was teaching Vivian, who was older than her by ten
years, a lesson.
It might be because of the environment she grew up in.
After all, she wasn't just any kid.She had been locked up by Jeremy, her biological father, for eight
years.
How could she be as innocent and naive as the other kids? It was more like she had seen the ugly side
of human nature during those eight years.
Vivian fell silent as she stared at Nina.Her eyes reddened as she grappled with her feelings.
After half an hour, Vivian and Nina returned home with Matteo.
It was soon Christmas Eve when they returned home.
Sasha instructed the housemaids at Oceanic Estate to prepare a scrumptious breakfast for everyone
that morning and made sure everyone had their fill.She then gathered everyone for a meeting.
"Kids, I wanted to discuss this day with all of you since it's your day.
I've discussed it with your father, which is Jaena's uncle, and decided that we will let you decide how
you want to spend Christmas Eve tonight.
How does that sound?"
"Swell!"
Jeffrey, who was the youngest, jumped with joy upon those words whilst Nina's eyes sparkled.
Matteo, lan, and Vivian were more calm and collected about it.
After all, they were almost eighteen already.
Hence, they looked forward to celebrating Christmas Eve with the hope of a child and the attitude of a
young adult.
As for Jaena, she merely arched her brow after hearing Sasha out.She feared her Aunt Sasha's ideas
most because she always ended up having to look after her little brother, Jeffrey.
"Okay, I've put the plans I've come up with on the table.We can choose to barbeque and play with
fireworks at the observation tower, or I can cook you proper dinner, or..."
Sasha paused when she reached the last suggestion.
All six kids immediately turned their attention toward Sasha.
"What is it, Aunt Sasha?"
"Yeah Mommy, what is it?"
"Haha...Look!"
Sasha finally revealed her trump card.
The kids immediately turned to look in the direction of the table.
There was a map of Yacon Farm, Jadeborough's most popular orchard, on the table and ten tickets.
Damn it! Aunt Sasha really is something else.
Jaena was about to flee when saw those tickets.
Clack! Clack! Clack! Just then, Sabrina, who had been doted on by Devin, suddenly appeared in heels.
"Jaena, where are you going?"
"To the bathroom!"
Jaena lowered her head and muttered under her breath before dragging herself over to the washroom.
Sabrina didn't know what to make of it.
"Sab, come on over.I'm letting the kids pick what we should do tonight," said Sasha.
Sasha was in a really good mood when she saw Sabrina and invited her over to their discussions.
Sabrina took one glance and pointed at the last one with her manicured red nails.
"Damn! Yacons! This is really good for the skin.I can't really get my hands on it in the market yet!
Devin, fetch me two big baskets so Jaena can bring them with her tonight.We're going to grab as much
as we can!"
Sasha was rendered speechless.
