The brothers set Rosemary down.
Rosemary couldn’t help but giggle at their costumes, particularly the white beards.
Snowflakes were cascading down, making the scene even more magical, as if straight out of a fairytale.
Hunter gazed at his sister with affection.
"When David came up with this idea, I thought it was boring, and I kind of rejected it when he forced me to wear this white beard. But now, seeing you laugh, I think I might keep it on just to see you smile more."
"Shoo, stop being so cheesy!" David playfully pushed Hunter away, then grinned at Rosemary.
"So, sis, what do you think of my idea?"
"It’s pretty silly," Rosemary chuckled, "but it’s a nice surprise. I love it. Thanks, Hunter, Chasel, Clark, David, and Mom and Dad—and Uncle Sampson."
When Rosemary wasn’t being aloof, she had the most beautiful smile.
The brothers made a mental note to make her laugh more often.
Her laughter was therapeutic, infecting everyone around her with joy.
"Sweetie, no need to thank us." Chasel affectionately ruffled Rosemary’s hair, instigating protests from the other brothers.
"Stop messing up Rose’s hair! Rose, let David help you."
"Hands off, did you wash your hands? Rose, my hands are the cleanest. I’m a forensic scientist, always disinfecting."
"Who’s the cleanest of us all? Don’t you know that?" Hunter attempted to keep fixing Rosemary’s hair.
"Where’s Sean?" Louisa suddenly asked. "Where did he go? He never answers his phone or replies to messages.
Rose has been back for half a year, and he hasn’t even shown his face or called!"
"Mom, Sean’s busy," Hunter quickly covered. "I’ll talk to him later."
"Isn’t it better with one less person accompanying Rose?" Chasel took the opportunity to smooth out a lock of Rosemary’s hair with his hand, only to be swatted away by Clark.
"I’ve just created a group chat and purposely didn’t add Sean Collins. Let him regret it."
David was smirking when Louisa asked, puzzled, "What group chat? Why wasn’t I added?"
Kenneth also checked his phone. "I’m not in it either?"
"David, that’s not right. We’re all family, and you’re creating separate groups," Sampson took on the authoritative tone of an uncle.
"Add me in."
"It’s a chat for us siblings. It wouldn’t be appropriate with you all in it," David chuckled.
"With all the grown-ups around, Rose wouldn’t dare to joke around. It’ll make her uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Hunter seemed to have caught on.
"Did you add Serena as well?"
"No," David hastily replied. "The vibe would be different with her around. Do you think it’s necessary, Hunter? If you think Serena should be in the group, I can create another one and add the rest of us."
At that time, he could always remain silent in the group.
He would stay active in Rose’s group chat.
