Garden – Family Outing
Nattalie: "I never knew you'd propose to me again." 😊
Lussy: "Again?" 😶
Nattalie: "Yes… he actually proposed when I was in college, but I rejected him because of Dad… Mr. William. But now…"
She held up her hand, showing the ring proudly.
Lussy: "Wow… now I have a father and mother!" 😁
She hugged both Mr. and Mrs. Devis tightly.
Eric watched Lussy's joyful face and suddenly remembered Edy and Max. Anger and determination flashed across his features. 😡
Justin noticed Eric's change in mood and looked at him carefully, his concern growing. 😶
Note: Some wounds never fully heal—they leave permanent marks.
Everyone glanced at Eric.
Eric: "I… I need to go to the washroom."
He walked off, leaving a faint tension in the air.
Note: Everyone carries scars from their past; only a few are truly able to heal.

Amber noticed Justin lingering nearby.
Amber: "Justin." 😊
Justin: "Huh?" 😶
Amber: "Go keep an eye on him. What if he wanders off?" 😎
Justin: "But—" 🙁
Amber (playfully stern): 😈
Justin: "Okay… 😅"
(He left, looking slightly intimidated by her tone.) 😱

Lussy, watching them, grinned mischievously.
Lussy: "Looks like someone's playing cupid here!" 😎
Amber: "Huh?" 😶
Lussy: "Can you be my cupid too, Aunt?" 😍
She tugged Amber's hand excitedly.
Amber (deadpan): "What do I look like to you?" 😐
Lussy: "Cupid!" 😁
Amber: "Alright… bring me someone, I'll see what I can do." 😎
Lussy (mock offended): "Are you saying I don't already have one?" 😱
Amber: "Yep. 😎"
Lussy: "Uncle!" 😤
She hopped onto Jonathan's lap, smirking.
Everyone: 🤣🤣🤣
