The birthday celebration of the twins continued. Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were very busy, entertaining the whole family and the guests. Some members of the Fiery Eagles also attended, that's why Flint was there. His Uncle Uno brought him because he insisted on coming just to see Ella, his secret crush.
Flint was staring at Ella from the distance when a beautiful young girl with blue eyes suddenly approached her. Because of that, Ella turned in his direction, meeting Flint's brown eyes. She caught him looking at her!
'Shoot. She caught me!' Flint scolded himself inwardly. He didn't know whether to smile at her or look away, pretending that he didn't see her.
In the end, Flint's lips reflexively tugged upward when he saw Ella smiling at him. She even waved at him. The two had become close friends as Ella was always visiting the Fiery Eagles headquarters because of Liam.
Liam was still in a coma, lying there on his sickbed for five years! Visiting Liam every day had become Ella's favorite habit. Her days wouldn't be complete without seeing Liam.
And whenever she would visit him, she would always encounter Flint. He would accompany her and talk to her for several hours. That's how their friendship started.
Meanwhile, since Flint was so focused on Ella, he failed to notice the young girl whose eyes were sparkling with joy upon seeing his charming smile once again. His two cute dimples appeared on his face.
It did not take long when Cassie seized Ella's hand and hurriedly pulled her towards Flint. Christian, who was watching them from afar, just shook his head before turning around to join his cousin, Allen. The video call with Sophia and Matthew ended.
Upon reaching Allen's spot, Grandpa Lu approached his two great-grandsons– Allen and Christian. The old man was very close to them, most especially Christian.
Christian preferred to talk with Grandpa Lu and hang out with him and Zu Wan, rather than play with the other children of his same age. He was a very charming and intelligent boy but with an aloof behavior. Cassie and Christian were quite opposite of each other.
"Christian, where is your twin sister?" Grandpa Lu asked him when he didn't see Cassie around.
"She's there grandpa, talking to Aunt Ella and her friend, Flint." Flint pointed his finger at them, guiding Grandpa Lu's line of sight.
Allen tugged his older cousin's arm and said, "Tian, let's join them. I want to play with Cassie, Ella, and Flint. I'm tired of entertaining the old ones!"
Grandpa Lu didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard Allen's last statement. But he couldn't blame him. These children had become the center of attraction during the banquet. The elders kept on bugging them and Grandpa Lu was one of them.
"Alright. I won't keep you here. Go and play with them!" Grandpa Lu was giving them the freedom to roam around and play. The children should enjoy this banquet as this was for them.
But Christian looked at Grandpa Lu with his pleading eyes. He didn't want to play. He wanted to stay by his grandfather's side and listen to his story. He could get meaningful lessons and advice just by listening to Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu let out a soft chuckle because of Christian's reaction. He knew that Christian was not like an ordinary child who would prefer to play around with the other kids.
Grandpa Lu understood that. He also admired him for being a mature child. However, he was worried that Christian couldn't enjoy his childhood days if he would always stick by an old man's side. So in the end, Grandpa Lu encourages Christian to join Allen, Cassie, Ella, and Flint.
Couldn't refuse his grandpa's request, Christian immediately complied. He said goodbye to Grandpa Lu and accompanied Allen to socialize and play with Cassie and others.
Grandpa Lu smiled broadly seeing those children getting along really well. He was so happy for them.
Meanwhile, Christian and Allen already reached Cassie's spot. She was currently talking to Flint as she bombarded him with so many personal questions.
Flint could only smile awkwardly as he didn't expect that a five-year-old girl would be this talkative. She kept on asking him about himself, what he likes and doesn't like as if Flint was answering questions from a Slam Book!
Ella couldn't do anything as she didn't want to interrupt Cassie. She was very enthusiastic and lively while talking to Flint. She just listened to them.
On the other hand, Christian massaged his temples. He felt so embarrassed because of his twin sister's bold behavior. She didn't even bother to hide her fondness and admiration towards Flint.
Christian was the only one who had the guts to interrupt his cute twin sister. He was aware that Ella was hesitating to control Cassie's blabbering mouth. She always spoiled Cassie as she was her favorite niece!
"Cassie, our cousin Allen got bored. He wants to play with you," Christian said as an alibi for Cassie to stop pestering Flint.
Allen glanced at Christian innocently. He didn't particularly say that. But getting Christian's eye signal, Allen just played along with him. He bobbed his head frantically before grabbing Cassie's hand. He pulled her away from Flint as per Christian's instruction.
Ella giggled cheerfully. She wanted to entertain these three charming kids. So she thought of bringing them outside the venue to enjoy the scenic view of the Paradise Resort.
"Let's go outside. I know a perfect place where you can play a nice game!" Ella suggested it to the three kids.
Flint cleared his throat, his eyes asking Ella if he could join them. Ella understood him so she nodded her head. "Flint, you can come with us. The more the merrier!"
Flint bobbed his head with a wide smile on his face. He was secretly rejoicing. He fulfilled his goal today. He went there in order to bond with Ella. Soon, the five of them went outside.
*****
Half an hour later...
The entrance door of the venue flew open as Flint dashed inside, catching the attention of everyone.
"Help! Help! They kidnapped the twins, Ella and Allen! Men wearing black robes!!!
