On stage, the officiant was narrating the love story of the two, from their births to the present wedding, which inevitably moved many to tears. Even Winnie's eyes welled up. However, Olivia and Sophia were smiling, and this time, Nona didn't shed a tear. Behind Jasper and Ruby stood a line of bridesmaids, followed by a line of groomsmen.

After the officiant finished recounting the love story of the two, it was tfor the siblings' performance. Jasper held Ruby's hand as they slowly walked down to the stage. Winnie followed behind, holding her skirt, and they all sat at the table together.

The audience below enjoyed their meals while watching the performances on stage.

The first act was a street dance performed by Liam, George, Olivia, and Sophia.

The second act was Olivia's solo dance.

The third act was a Latin dance performed by Nona and Cyril.

The fourth act was a rap by Harper and Kade.

The fifth act was a song by Jayden and Fynn.

Finally, Trevon's arranged performance group took the stage.

Below the stage, Ruby was amazed, gripping Jasper's hand excitedly. "When did they rehearse? I had no idea at all." Ever since Sophia returned, she always cback late at night with Olivia, but Jasper didn't know what they were up to. Trevon always said they were studying. Now Jasper knew. They were secretly practicing dancing.

And it wasn't just one act, but many, all prepared behind their backs. The key point was that even George had prepared an act. Jasper was deeply touched.

At another table, the elders couldn't help but nod in approval. They sat at the largest table, which could accommodate over twenty people. Several elders were taking photos of their grandchildren on stage, even Grace couldn't resist taking swith her phone.

Next to them were Tucker's family, Jim's family, Terrell, plus Alex and Priscilla.

William was quite proud. "Cyril is really something, learns things so fast. He didn't learn this dance for long, but look how good he is. Nona is impressive too." Charlie could tell William was about to boast again. "Jayden and Fynn's song wasn't bad either." Rose whispered to Edward, lowering her voice, "Honey, I noticed Harper sings quite well. Did he inherit that from you? I think he definitely inherited my stage presence." Edward chuckled. Rose was always so adorable. She could always make him laugh out of the blue. "Yeah, he does sing quite well." Christina chimed in. "This is my first tseeing George dance! George's dancing was quite charming. But how cI've never seen you dance like that?" Hearing this, Joseph smirked and looked at Christina. "I enjoy dancing with you." However, Christina didn't think Joseph meant normal dancing together, glaring at him, only to see him grin mischievously.

At this time, Ava handed the developed photos to Frank. "Frank, take a look. Aren't they beautiful?" "Yeah, they are. There is no need to take more. We will just have the photographer hand over the memory card and get the photos printed," Frank patted Ava's head and said with a doting smile.

Stella enjoyed the performance and also praised them. "That's great! These kids are quite talented performers." One hour passed.

"Oh my, I'm exhausted. Dancing is more tiring than running a hundred meters." Liam collapsed onto his chair, feeling drained. Luckily, he was quite flexible.

Jasper raised his glass to thank everyone, and the siblings all raised their glasses in celebration. As the wedding concluded, Trevon and Hackett took the stage to thank everyone for attending.

In the end, Trevon called for everyone to gather on stage for a group photo, a grand finale to the wedding.

In the front row sat Angie and Charlie, Juana and Richard, Joy and Nathan, Caleb, Rachel, Daniel and Emma, plus Grace and William.

In the second row were Chris, Leia, Stella, Edward, Rose, Ruby, Jasper, Trevon, Natalie, Sherri, Hackett, Frank, Ava, Joseph, and Christina.

And standing on the steps in the back row were Jayden, Fynn, Harper, Kade, Dalton, Vincent, Liam, Olivia, Sophia, Cyril, Nona, and George.

As the photographer clicked the shutter, capturing the smiles on everyone's faces, those moments were immortalized forever. Every person in the photo had a genuine happiness radiating from within on their faces.

The elders finished their photos, and the younger generation got addicted to posing for the camera, arranging themselves freely for the photographer, striking poses endlessly.

Once the wedding concluded, the elders couldn't withstand the commotion and each went their separate ways, while the younger ones headed to the Wilson's residence for a party that lasted until midnight.

The next day, Sophia went back to work at the kindergarten. Her straightforward nature didn't suit the complexities of office politics. She preferred the carefree interactions with innocent children, finding it much more enjoyable.

The SAT day arrived quickly. Grace, William, Rose, Edward, Trevon, and Natalie waited at the school gate for the children.

As soon as the two children emerged, William asked about Cyril, believing Nona must have done well. "How did it go?" Cyril glanced at his parents and other family members, quite confident. "I think I aced it." William's trust was mixed with sdoubt, thinking, 'You'd better have done well, or there'll be consequences.' After the SAT, the kids were completely free, especially Cyril, who acted like a wild horse set loose, sleeping in every day and playing games. Not seeing Cyril at the breakfast table, Frank asked, "Is he still sleeping?" William indulged Cyril. "Just let him sleep a little longer. He's been working hard for years. It's tto let him take a break." Upon hearing this, Frank also indulged and didn't insist on Cyril getting up. After finishing breakfast with Ava, Frank went to the office, leaving Grace at home.

About a few days later, the SAT scores were released. Before Nona could check her scores, Ella called to inform her that she had achieved the top score, and Cyril's score just barely met Frank's expectations, narrowly avoiding a scolding.

On the day of college applications, both of them chose the nearby Athana University.

Cyril chose the smajor as Liam and Harper, while Nona chose the smajor as her mom Ava, also minoring in management. She wanted to help Ava shoulder the burdens in the future.

The day the SAT scores were released brought another piece of good news.

At the clinic, Ruby held the lab report in her hand, the values were elevated. Jasper nervously asked, "What's the result? Are you fine?" Ruby handed him the papers, smiling brightly, very happy. "Take a look." Even though Jasper didn't understand medical terms, seeing the elevated values gave him an idea, his voice somewhat broken. "Are you really pregnant?" Ruby nodded happily, gripping Jasper's hand excitedly. "We found out late, and now we can even see the embryos. It's..." she gestured a number two in front of Jasper.

"What does that mean? At two months? That's not supposed to happen." Ruby chuckled at Jasper's adorable confusion, gently patting his arm. "Of course not. It's twins." Jasper stood still, a bit at a loss, then continued looking at the other papers, which showed two gestational sacs.

"How did it go? Letsee the test results." Natalie took the papers from Jasper's hand, also momentarily stunned, then exclaimed in joy, "Twins? Ruby, that's fantastic. It finally broke the Turner family's rules. Jasper, why are you still standing there? Take Ruby hto rest." "Oh." Jasper was dazed for a few seconds, then, like a child, he got happy in just a few seconds, reaching out to support Ruby. His reaction amused Ruby again. She patted his arm to comfort him. "I'm fine. Don't worry." "It's better to be careful. I'll tell Mr. Hackett and Mrs. Sherri." Jasper was still in shock and just remembered to call Sherri and Hackett.

Ruby turned to see Natalie already on the phone. "No need. Look. Mrs. Natalie is already making the call." "Okay, let's go, then. Take it easy, and watch your step." Jasper was carefully supporting Ruby, taking each step cautiously, fearing any unexpected incidents.

Here, Natalie was indeed calling Sherri. Since it was lunch break, Sherri picked up the phone immediately. "Hey, what's up? I have a surprise to tell you." Sherri, feeling a bit sleepy in the break room with Rose, yawned. "I'm realizing I'm getting old. My stamina seems to be failing. I used to be able to do several surgeries in a row without a problem, but now my back hurts after just two." "You'd have a better back if you did less exercise with Hackett." "Stop joking." Then, Sherri got back on track and asked, "What's up? Are you missing me?" Natalie smiled. "I already said I have a surprise for you. Ruby's pregnant..." "What? What did you say? Ruby is pregnant? Oh my God, I..." "Sherri, oh, con. You're getting excited already, and I haven't even told you the other good news yet. She's pregnant with twins." Natalie added with a big grin.

Sherri sat up too quickly and hit her head on the bedside table, grimacing in pain. "Ouch, Natalie, your family's genes are really something. I have to tell Hackett about this and get him excited too.

Before Natalie could say anything else, Sherri had already hung up.

After work, Sherri and Hackett went to the Wilson's residence to see Ruby. Joy and Nathan, along with Juana and Richard, also went, making Ruby a bit shy with all the attention.

Such pampering left her somewhat astonished and happy.

Ever since Ruby got pregnant, Jasper called her countless times every day to check on her, worried she might not be feeling well, and occasionally popped into the fashion company to see her.

Trevon, who originally planned to retire, returned to the Wilson Group to help Jasper with work again, giving Jasper more tto take care of Ruby. If Jasper didn't take good care of Ruby, Hackett would complained again.

School started, and Frank and Ava personally took their two children to college. Because of the orientation activities, they had to move in early. After dropping the kids off at school, Frank discreetly entrusted Cyril with an important task.

Poor Liam, upon graduating, was immediately assigned by Hackett to the Blackwell Group. Liam complained bitterly. "Can't you letrest a bit?" Hackett was indifferent. "You can choose to leave the Blackwell family." Upon hearing it, Liam sighed in resignation.

Olivia still had several years of college ahead of her because she planned to pursue a master's degree.

And George made the schoice as Olivia and also planned to pursue a master's degree.

Toward the end of the year, Mary passed away. Like Gage, she smiled and said before she died, "I finally made it to Jasper's wedding. I didn't think I would, but I even made it to Ruby's pregnancy. I have to go tell Mr. and Mrs. Wilson in heaven, as well as the ancestors of the Wilson family, to make them happy too." The following year, Ruby gave birth to twin boys at the clinic, delivered personally by Sherri. Many people entered the delivery room, including Natalie, Jasper, Rose, Olivia, Sophia, and Ava.

Sophia and Olivia were ecstatic, following the nurse like two little shadows.

After the nurse weighed the babies, she announced, "One is 6 pounds, and the other is 6.6 pounds." They were cleaned up and dressed, then cuddled by Sophia and Olivia.

Jasper held Ruby's hand and said, "Thank you, Ruby." Ruby smiled.

Natalie, Sherri, and Ava also smiled.

.

Rose was in charge of delivering the good news. She pushed open the doors of the operating theater and addressed the waiting group outside, "Trevon, Hackett, it's two little princes. Congratulations on becoming grandfathers." .

Trevon grinned proudly, raising an eyebrow at Hackett, silently acknowledging his son's achievement.

The operating theater door closed, and Frank smiled. "Remember to prepare gifts for the kids quickly." .

Liam jumped in place several times.

He was going to be an unclexcitedly taking out his phone to message the group. [Hey, guys, Ruby gave birth to twin boys. I'm going to be an uncle!] .

Harper was also excited. [Damn, then I'm going to be an uncle too.] George chimed in. [I have nephews now, and two of them! We'll go visit Ruby and the kids in a few days.] Cyril added. [Awesome! I'm going to be an uncle too.] Harper joked. [Did you get your SAT scores by cheating?] Nona sent a cute emoji. [I'm going to be an aunt.] They chatted lively in the group, discussing what gifts to prepare for the little ones.

Hackett smiled back at Trevon's teasing. He had to admit that the Turner family's hidden genes were indeed mysterious. "I'll definitely prepare lavish gifts." Edward jokingly said, "How about 'finders, keepers'?" Ruby giving birth to twins prompted Hackett to generously promise that whoever got married next could ask him for a new house, and he would gift one to each.

Frank smirked. "Make sure to remember that promise. Don't leave it outside the operating theater." Hackett replied, "It's just giving houses. What could go wrong?" Trevon lifted his phone and indicated. "I recorded that." Hackett sighed in resignation.

Inside the operating theater, Sophia curiously asked, "Jasper, Ruby, have you named the little ones?" "Yeah." Olivia asked, "What?" Jasper smiled at Ruby. He had been thinking about names for them since Ruby got pregnant. "Ryan Wilson, and Patrick Wilson.

How does that sound?" Everyone silently repeated the names in their minds. Ruby nodded slightly and reiterated. "Ryan Wilson, Patrick Wilson." They sounded really nice.

Ava agreed. "They sound really nice." Rose sighed. "They sound quite nice indeed." .

Rose's older son and second son's names were both chosen by her The twins' names were picked by Edward because she thought naming was too much of a hassle and delegated the task to him. .

Olivia and Sophia held onto the two nephews, unwilling to let go, with big hands holding little hands.

Natalie sent the names of the two grandsons to Trevon. Trevon, upon receiving the message, replied, [Very good.] Jasper and Ruby locked eyes, love slowly blossoming in their gazes.

They would accompany each other from birth to old age, hand in hand, till death did them part.
