"Elsa!"
Claire squealed in surprise.She hugged the beautiful woman in a long red dress.
"How come you're back?"
Elsa Williams hugged her back, chuckling.
"I told you I'd come back to see you.But there was a show in Paris, and I couldn't miss it.Hence, the delay in my arrival."
Seeing the two girls wrapped in a tight embrace for a long time, Aron Williams, their brother cleared his throat.
Wearing a pair of black-rim glasses and a simple checked shirt, he looked like the typical programmer.No one would believe that he was from the reputable Williams family.
Claire understood his meaning and burst out laughing.She finally let go of Elsa and gave Aron a big tight hug.
"Claire, you can't be partial.You hugged them and not me."
Nathan grinned and opened his arms.
Claire rolled her eyes and hugged him too.
"Thank you, Nathan," she said.
Nathan cast an incredulous look at her, knowing what she meant.
Elsa, Nathan, and Aron had voluntarily given up their right to inherit the Williams Group after Claire was born.
Their mother, Carla Williams, had difficulty giving birth to Claire back then.
Both the mother's and daughter's lives were at risk.
After Claire was born, she stayed in an incubator for two months.
Carla was severely ill after giving birth to her.
Ultimately, her body could no longer function, and she died when Claire was two years old.
The three siblings saw their mother in Claire.She was the precious treasure of the Williams family.
Elsa and Aron had built their own careers.
The former was an outstanding fashion designer, and the latter was a technology supermind.
Only Nathan was willing to stay to work for the Williams Group and look after Claire.He wanted to mentor her before she became capable of taking over the Williams Group.
Nathan's heart melted at her words.
Elsa, whom everyone called ‘the Fashion Devil’, was nothing but tender in front of her little sister.
She threw her arm around Claire's shoulder and looked her up and down.
"Thank God you're back! Men are all jerks! You deserve only the best.Forget about your past.I'll support and look after you."
Claire couldn't help but smile at her thoughtfulness.
However, Nathan was unhappy about her words.
"Hey, come on! Not all men are bad.There are still many goodhearted men in this world," he protested.
Claire chuckled, shaking her head.It had been a long time since she saw her brother and sister argue with each other.Her life felt complete at that moment.
Soon, dinner was ready, and the family sat down at the dining table.
Taylor looked at his four children in front of him.
Tears filled his eyes as his heart swelled with emotions.
"It's been a long time since we all sat down together to eat the last time.If only Carla were still alive..."
"Dad, we will spend more time together in the future." Elsa held Taylor's hand lovingly.
"Don't cry on such a happy occasion."
"Elsa is right,"
Nathan chimed in, "If Mom sees you crying from heaven, she might think we aren't treating you well."
Taylor glared at him.
"Gosh, stop blabbering!"
Claire and Aron looked at each other and smiled.
it was a happy dinner.
Everyone chatted and laughed while eating.
Nathan then mentioned Claire's birthday.
"Your birthday is just around the corner.Have you decided how to celebrate it this year?"
Claire had lived with the Sampson family for the past three years.
They had only given her gifts in private and never openly celebrated her birthday.
Now that Claire had returned home, they wanted to celebrate her birthday in the most special way.
After a moment's thought, Claire said, "Actually, I'd like to sit and have dinner, happily chatting with you all like now."
"How would it be enough? We need to make it big."
Elsa kicked Nathan under the table and secretly winked at him.
After all, it wouldn't be a surprise if he spoke about it now.
Nathan quickly shut his mouth.
"Okay.If that's what you want, we'll do as you say.Anything to make you happy." Claire smiled.
She looked at her plate and saw a piece of fish in it.
All its bones were already discarded.
Claire looked at Aron and saw him picking up food for her.
Aron smiled, his eyes twinkling with love and care for her.
Claire's heart melted.She picked up the fish and took a bite.It was juicy and succulent.
God had blessed Claire with such a loving family.
Everyone adored and cared for her.
In a quiet and luxurious residential district in Bysea, Sierra got out of the car in her sunglasses and mask.
She looked around to make sure no one saw her.
Then, she took a deep breath and walked into one of the buildings.
A servant led her to a room and left.
Sierra stood in front of the door for a moment and pushed it open.
Her eyes widened as she looked around the enormous study. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
A man sat in front of the window, on the swivel chair with his back to her.
The man's hair had turned grey, but despite his old age, he still continued to intimidate others.He had a good physique and a muscular body.
The man was as strong as youngsters in their twenties.He was the owner of this building, Jordy Fuller.
