"Ariel, wake up. I’ll chase you my whole life, write you love letters every day, okay?"

"I waited eight years to have you back, eight years, Ariel Morris, not eighty days or eight months. Please, don’t be cruel to me like this anymore, okay?"

"I’ve lost time and again to you in this life, and only to you. Shouldn’t you wake up arrogant and boastful? When others speak of Arlo Seys being invincible and almighty, shouldn’t you smile proudly and respond to them, ’What’s Arlo Seys? He’s always lost to me and never won! I’m the real winner!’"

"Ariel Morris, wake up and be arrogant, be extravagant, alright? Be as arrogant and extravagant as you wish; I’ll allow you to do so forever in front of me."

"What do you want me to lose to make you willing to return to me? Whatever I have, you can take, but I just want you, is that okay?"

"Can I trade everything I have for you to be by my side?"

"Ariel Morris, I’ve let go of arrogance, of nobility, of everything, and now I’m humbly begging you, stay, okay?"

"What do I have to do for you to grace me with your presence, to stay by my side and spend the rest of this life with me?"

"How about this, Ariel Morris, how many more years do I have left in my life—can we split them in half? That way, you won’t be lonely walking on your own, will you?"

...

Arlo Seys stood outside the ICU, his voice hoarse and eyes red with tears. The total tears he’s shed in this life haven’t ever added up to as much as on this day.

On New Year’s Eve, while every household was joyfully celebrating, Arlo Seys experienced the most unforgettable New Year’s Eve of his life.

It was also on this day that the eldest son and Little Princess of the Seys Family were born, named Ryan and Iris Seys.

----

Dawn Sutherland and Daisy Grant were at the Grant Family’s house accompanying Sophie Brown during the New Year when they received a call from Nicole on New Year’s Eve afternoon and immediately drove to the hospital.

Daisy Grant took Ryan from Nicole’s arms, her eyes softening, "He looks just like Brother Seys; this child will surely become a person of the male god level. These features are just a miniature version of Brother Seys!"

Dawn Sutherland’s gaze was equally gentle, "The child was born safely, I believe Ariel will be fine. How’s the Little Princess?"

"In the incubator, perhaps due to Ariel’s condition, the Little Princess is quite weak and is being kept warm in the incubator."

"They will certainly be fine, both the Little Princess and Ariel will be safe," Dawn Sutherland said softly.

"I’m late! The roads are covered with snow and the traffic jam stretched like the Great Wall! Everyone must be out visiting!" Nico Haynes stormed in boldly, and upon seeing the baby in Daisy Grant’s arms, he eagerly took Ryan from her, exclaiming excitedly, "Ahoy, I’m finally a father too! Come on, godson, call me godfather! Godfather has a big present for you!!"

Nicole chuckled, "The baby’s just been born—how can he call you? Get your big gift ready, and when my nephew can call you, remember to bring it out!"

Nico Haynes smirked mischievously, "No problem, I’ll go find a little child bride for my godson tomorrow! Give it to him as a big gift! One isn’t enough; I’ll give him two!"

"...I think your position as godfather is quite precarious; my elder brother will not allow you to corrupt my nephew!" Nicole laughed.

Upon mentioning Arlo Seys, Nico Haynes’ smile faded slightly as he asked, "Is the big brother okay? If Little Girl Morris hasn’t woken up, the big brother..."

Nicole shook her head, her face solemn, "Not good. Right now, all I hope for is Ariel’s safety; otherwise, my brother..."
