Chapter 68 Celebration Banquet
Leah's heart was filled with warmth. Just like in her childhood, she held Laura's hand with one hand and clasped onto Kaden's with the other, then gently rested her head on Laura's shoulder. "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Dad. It's so wonderful to have you."
Laura affectionately stroked Leah's soft hair.
"Don't mention it. You don't need to think too much about other things. Just remember that your family will always be your strongest support."
Leah was moved to the brink of tears by her mother's words, but she held back the urge to cry and nodded earnestly.
"Okay."
"Mom, Dad, what are you talking about with Leah?" Ethan walked in from the door, wearing a gentle smile on his face.
"We're just chatting casually." Leah didn't want to make another person worry about her, so she changed the topic. "Ethan, what has your company been up to lately? Why did you finish work so late?"This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"I had a very successful project in the eastern part of the city, and we're currently planning a celebration banquet," Ethan said before gleefully looking at Leah. "I still need a female companion. Would you like to accompany me?"
Without hesitation, Leah agreed. "Of course! How could I not go to your celebration banquet?"
She then turned to Laura and Kaden. "Mom, Dad, will you be attending?"
Laura shook her head. "These noisy gatherings are better left to you young people. Your father and I won't be going."
Kaden also chimed in. "Yes, your mother has preferred a quieter atmosphere in recent years. I'll stay with her at home. You can go."
Then, he turned to face Ethan, looking to tease him a bit.
"Besides, with our status, if we were to appear at the event, it would surely cause quite a stir. At that time, we might outshine your big brother." Leah was aware of the truth in their words.
Her father was the wealthiest man in Ocanni City, and her mother was a globally acclaimed dancer.
However, since her father had handed over the company to Ethan, they had quietly withdrawn from the public eye.
If they suddenly showed up at Ethan's celebration banquet, it would indeed create a huge sensation.
Not only the guests attending the event but also the media would be drawn to it...
The thought of such a scene gave her chills.
"Dad, you can steal my thunder anytime you want. I don't mind." Ethan chuckled.

Kaden also smiled and said, "Your project's success belongs to you. It's your celebration banquet. Although you don't mind, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to attend You take Leah with you."
Ethan gave in. "All right, I'll take Leah with me then."
Laura added, "Since you're taking Leah, please don't just focus on socializing. Make sure to take good care of her, and don't let anyone bully her."
"Mom, I don't need Ethan to take

care of me. I can take care of myself Leah said with a wry smile. Her mother was overly concerned for her, but she appreciated it.
"It's only natural for your big
ther
to take care of you. Don't refuse that." "Laura glanced at Ethan. "Make sure you watch over Leah,
understand?"
Ethan replied seriously, "I understand, Mom. Even if you didn't say it, I wouldn't let Leah suffer the slightest injustice."
Satisfied, Laura nodded. "All right, it's getting late, and I'm getting tired. Let's all go to sleep now."
Leah had wanted to say something more, but hearing that her mother was tired, she swallowed her words and obediently went to her room to sleep.
Soon, it was time for Ethan's celebration banquet, which was held at Ocanni City's largest five-star hotel.
Even before he arrived, dozens of luxury cars were parked at the hotel entrance.
Many guests were going in and out of the hotel, creating a lively atmosphere.
Outside the hotel, a girl in a pink evening gown stood on tiptoe, looking in the direction of the road, waiting for someone.
"Why hasn't Ethan arrived yet?"
