The Family Holiday นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Their faces twisted in confusion, anxiety flickering in their eyes. Whenever they wanted me to give something up, they’d slap me with one hand and offer candy with the other. It never failed to work. All they had to do was take the first step and reach out, and I’d cave every time. This time, no one was on the other end of the call, eagerly calling them “Mom” and “Dad.” “Honey, Laura’s not exactly the sharpest at work, so why do you keep spoiling her? When we’re gone, she’ll burn through the family’s fortune in no time.

He couldn't begin to tell Felicity's parents how amazing their daughter was. "She is." Janet agreed with a happy little laugh. "Ever since she was a child, I've never seen anyone so gifted." "So you spent Christmas with your folks, Jared?" David helped himself to more coleslaw and passed the bowl to Jared, who accepted it and added more to his own plate. "We did. My family usually goes to the Bahamas for Christmas, but this year they chose the cabin, and we couldn't resist getting Felicity out on the slopes." "The Bahamas?" Janet's eyes brightened. "How lovely! I've always wanted to go there." She paused, blushing. "We can't get off work, and it's a little out of our budget."

Though they tried not to show it, Arian knew they were expecting some kind of drama from him, judging by their silent stares. Even Tommy was openly gazing at him from where he sat across the table! "I'm thinking of a family trip to Venice for the holiday." Williams breezed, breaking the awkward atmosphere. Sir Williams Campbell was Jeffrey's father. "The country is so beautiful and the air is nice. It'll be nice for the baby." Mom Rose smiled at Mom Felicity, the Californian beauty. "Tch! I know Williams. Even though it's a holiday, he'll still find some world-coming-to-an-end excuses to work! So I'm not really interested." She huffed and Sir Felix laughed.

My half-brother, Jim Sullivan, pushed me down a snowy mountain, leaving me with a fractured spine. My mom, Doris Moore, and my wife, Julia Stone, rushed me to the hospital in a panic. Later, they learned that I might be permanently paralyzed. To put my mind at ease, Julia held up a ring and swore that she would take care of me for the rest of my life. Mom also cut ties with Jim, saying she would make him pay for what he had done. They told me Jim fell off a cliff while trying to escape, and they never found his body. I believed them. That was until three years into my marriage, a friend sent me a video. In the footage, Jim, who was supposed to be dead, was holding a child in his left

Brayleigh nodded slowly. "Jesus. That's a lot of children. Christmas must be busy!" Brayleigh exclaims. Lila and I laughed at her and I shrugged. "Christmas time is always good. We usually trek South to the falls where most of our family lives. We have a lot of cousins, aunties and uncles and it's always one big celebration," I told her. She gaped at me. "The falls? That's where my family comes from! Maybe they know each other," Brayleigh grinned excitedly. My beast yipped. She hoped that Brayleigh's family knew mine. It would be coincidental that we had met.

Bidding farewell to her family, she embarked on the journey back to school with her father, a renewed sense of purpose burning in her heart. As she left behind the warmth and security of her family, Rithanya found herself straddling the line between past and future. The memories of their day at Bhavanisagar Dam, both the tranquil moments and the jolt of panic, would forever be etched in her mind. The chapter of this holiday had drawn to a close, but her story, marked by ambition and resilience, was poised to unfold in ways even she could not predict.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to be so emotional. It's just been a very long time since I felt my mother's warm hugs. Mrs. Lawrence gently grasped her chest, her eyes filled with compassion. "I'm truly sorry you've lost your parents. I understand that no one can ever truly replace them, but please know that Johnathan and I are here for you as your new family, if you're comfortable with that," she said softly, her voice warm and reassuring. "Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence," I replied gratefully. "Please, call us Johnathan and Barbara," Johnathan interjected kindly, offering a supportive smile. "We are so happy you came. Go freshen up, and dinner will be ready shortly. Meet us at our cabin,"

"Oh God, I hate being reminded of how dreadful and stressful it is to meet with family members." I looked between the two, confused. "I love a big family.' Siobhan chuckled. "Well, you would, but not ours. Our family's Thanksgiving celebration is...legendary. It's held at this massive palace-like house in Italy. Think old-world grandeur, with lovely gardens and a dining room that could fit an entire village."

Uncle Harrison asked, looking at Daddy. “Yes, Henry and his girlfriend coming” Daddy replied. “Good, After we are leaving for vacation,” Uncle Harrison said and added” I am booking today our package for vacation holiday” “Harrison, Keep it on hold Henry's girlfriend's birthday is in the next week, so he has some plans and I have to go to Paris for some work” Dad replied, and I was looking at both of them. We usually go on family vacations in my holidays. This was the first time I got holidays in winter rather than summer.

It was an unknown number, so I rejected it, only for it to ring again. This time, I answered on speaker. “Hello, is this Miss Harper Grey? We’re calling from a TV program called Family Forever. Your mother contacted us and said you’ve been influenced to cut ties with your parents. We’d like to invite you onto our show to have a proper conversation with your family.” “I’m not going.” “Miss Grey, we’d like to help you reunite with your family–” “There’s no need for that.” With that, I hung up and couldn’t fall back asleep again after that.
