Chapter 1231:
The couple agreed it was finally tfor a getaway—just the two of them, no kids, no responsibilities. After four
solid years of nonstop parenting, they craved a real break. But more than anything, Ellis wanted a chance to
have Freya all to himself for a while, far from the chaos at home.
Before making any travel plans, they gave Alan a call.
Alan had volunteered for the job of “favorite uncle” from day one. Ever since the twins were born, he'd offered to
babysit at every opportunity. For four years straight, he'd insisted that, should they ever travel, the twins, Jesse
and Nina, belonged with him—not with Caldwell or Kendra.
So, when the phone rang and Ellis asked if he could watch the kids for the entire summer, Alan was so ecstatic
he could barely speak. He grabbed his keys and sped over without a second thought.
The moment he stepped through the door, he blurted, “Wait—you're actually leaving Jesse and Nina with me?
For the whole summer?” Even as he plopped his bag down, he stared at them, wide-eyed, as if the offer might
disappear.
Freya exchanged a look with Ellis, then crouched down to hug her kids, brushing a hand through Nina's hair.
“Yes, Alan. We mean it.”
He gaped. “Are you absolutely sure?”
Freya replied with a subtle smile, “We're sure.”

A mischievous glint appeared in Alan's eyes. “You're not worried I'll lead them astray?”
He fired off questions rapid-fire, hardly pausing for breath, grinning from ear to ear.
Freya took a thoughtful breath, then gave a small, wry smile. “Trust me, those two are tougher to influence than
you realize.”
Alan frowned, clearly perplexed, but let the comment pass.
While everyone gathered near the door, Ellis, remembering just how wild the twins could get, said, “If they wear
you out, just send them to Hugh or my parents. No shin asking for backup.”
“Relax, that’s not going to happen!” Alan shot back with a grin, confidence radiating from him. He'd waited
forever for this opportunity—finally, the twins were his for the summer.
Just as they were about to head out, Freya stopped and reached into her bag. “Hold on. There's something else.”
