Chapter 272
After Carly and Charles were officially divorced, everyone could not relax because the Carter family had something major to celebrate. Stacey and Hayden were getting married soon. According to the original plan from both families, they planned to get engaged first and then formally get married after some time. But the more they talked about their engagement, the more they felt that this engagement ceremony was
unnecessary.
Most importantly, a longer delay could cause more worries. The parents from both families were somewhat anxious, thinking that relationships between youngsters now were too fickle. If they liked each other now, they could be together. But if something happened out of the blue, they could just break up.
Sharon mulled over this briefly and finally ushered Debra into the room quietly. She then secretly discussed matters with the latter, wondering if the couple could be engaged sooner instead of dragging it on. Sharon couldn’t wait to see the couple wed, and likely could not be at ease until the wedding was done with.
Coincidentally, Debra and Sharon thought the same thing. It was hard to find an excellent man like Hayden. If Becky missed her chance, she would regret this later. Because of Debra and Sharon’s thoughts, the two families finally came together. They reckoned that it was indeed troublesome to get engaged and wait for marriage because there were too many conflicts between the couple. If they got married sooner, both elders would feel at ease.
Thus, the
è parents on both sides began to urge the couple. Jason and Sharon urged Hayden, and Debra and Patrick urged Becky. In the end, Hayden and Becky compromised. As a result, their engagement was very close to the official wedding date, with only one week between each event.
Jeremy was the happiest, now that the wedding had been brought forward. Although he’d addressed Becky as “Mommy” in advance for some time, Jeremy was smart. He knew that Becky could only be his mother after marrying his dad. Thus, he’d been waiting for this to happen. After the two families set a date for Stacey and Hayden’s nuptials, Jeremy began marking his calendar daily to count down how many days Becky and Hayden
left before the wedding.
It was worth mentioning that several months had passed, and Jeremy could not speak very well. Half a month ago, Stacey and Hayden took Jeremy to Menterra for a reexamination. The results were good, with the doctor saying that Jeremy had
effectively recovered completely with no other effects. As long as he practiced more in the future, he could be like a normal person.

Time flew by, and it was time for Stacey and Hayden to officially get married. Early that morning, Lillian and Kevin woke Stacey up excitedly, insisting on her getting out of bed. They were going back to their hometown because their mom and Dad were getting married soon. Stacey was dazed as she was woken up by the children, but when she heard them talking about the nuptials, she couldn’t help but feel warm inside.
“Mom, get up!” While Stacey was distracted, Lillian tugged at her anxiously.
Stacey quickly came back to her senses and nodded. “Yes.”
Stacey got out of bed, dressed herself, and then dressed Lillian and Kevin. A long time passed without them realizing it. When the three of them washed up and went out, it was late. Their meal was prepared a while ago, just waiting to be eaten.
“Becky, Lillian, Kevin, come down and have breakfast. We’ll take a helicopter back to our hometown.” Debra spotted them and waved at them happily.
Lillian immediately ran down excitedly. “Okay.”
Seeing his sister running away, Kevin hurriedly followed her. The two kids quickly reached the first floor, rushed toward Debra, and hugged her. After breakfast, Adrian and Isabella had also returned with Damian, while Carly had brought Ronald along. When everyone was there, they boarded the helicopter together and went home.
It was not the first time that Damian and Ronny had taken a helicopter ride with the Carter family. Last year, when they returned to their hometown in Alagua City with their mother and the Carter family, they came and went back to Hivalis via helicopter too. Before this, Damian and Ronny were not well–acquainted with the Carter family, so even if they rode their helicopter, they were relatively restrained and didn’t dare to run or move around.
Things were different now. After getting along with each other for a few months, Damian and Ronny were much more familiar with the Carter family, especially Damian. He knew that he was also a member of the Carter family, and this helicopter belonged to his father’s family, which meant it belonged to his family and nobody else’s.
After understanding such matters, Damian and Ronald were more relaxed this time. They began to be curious about the helicopter like normal children and wanted to explore. Lillian and Kevin had already ridden this helicopter. Seeing that Damian and Ronny were curious, they acted as “guides” and explained things to the former.
As the four children gathered and the more they chatted, the happier the atmosphere became. That kind of atmosphere made Carly believe that she was right to divorce her husband earlier. That kind of repressive environment was not good for children.

‘I must be strong in the future and strive to give Ronald a better, happier living environment,‘ thought Carly.

The helicopter flew for some time, and it was not until the afternoon that they finally arrived in Alagua City. Because of Stacey and Hayden’s nuptials, the butler had already started to clean and decorate Carter Manor. Now that they’d returned, they were happy to see how cheerful and festive the house looked.
The butler came to greet them, happily invited them inside, and then asked the housekeeper to serve refreshments as they rested. After a short rest, everyone went back to their rooms. The adults were tired, but the children were still energetic. After all, a day’s helicopter ride was tiring. As soon as they got home, they ran to the small playground in the garden and began to have fun again.
Stacey, Isabella, and Annie went to observe the children for a while. Seeing them playing so happily, the three mothers we
