With a heavy exhale, he conceded, “Sure.”
Instantly, smiles blossomed on the faces around the table.
However, Joyce, seated next to Katrina, pulled gently at her sleeve.
“Mom, dealing with Daniela won't be easy these days. She won't go along with this!”
After all, these relatives had never shown Daniela any kindness. And now they expected her to secure jobs for

You can call my husband Caiden andKatrina. Let's keep it relaxed.”
Katrina was skilled at smoothing over any awkwardness, her words weaving a sense of unity and ease.

“Alexander, I'm Joyce's second uncle, Wyatt. Over there is her third uncle, Ronald. We haven't had much
