On the weekend, Hazel took the two siblings to the mall to accompany her for their last-minute shopping. When they arrived, the car park was almost full. Fortunately, this shopping complex was one of MH Group's and Hazel was able to park at the privileged parking spot.

Hazel and Hailey walked around from shop to shop with Hayden obediently followed after two girls as their guard as well as a to carry their shopping bags. Since the two siblings had accompanied her, Hazel bought a few things for them as a gift.

After shopping around for almost two hours, Hazel took the siblings to a cafe to rest as well as to have their lunch at a cafe. As they were waiting for their food to arrive, Hazel looked at the shopping bags to check that she had gotten everything.

Her gaze paused at the light blue overall that she had bought earlier and took it out to inspect it properly.

"What do you think, this is cute, right?" Hazel asked.

After Hailey has grown up, most of the baby stuff has been donated away. Now that her uncle and auntie were expecting newborn babies, they would need to buy baby stuff. As Hazel walked around the mall, she stumbled upon some cute baby clothing and could not resist buying some for the unborn babies

The two siblings looked at the baby clothes in their elder sister's hand and exchanged a glance.

"I still cannot believe that I'm going to have little sisters or brothers," Hailey, the youngest of the siblings said.

When her mother had announced that she will soon have another sibling, Hailey was shocked. She had always thought that she would be the youngest in the family. But soon, there will be two babies around. Moreover… their age gap was too large!

"Don't be too sad," Hazel poked at Hailey's cheek. "In a few years, you and Hayden will be leaving for college. It's good that your parents will have someone to accompany them."

Before her Auntie Edith quit her job to focus on the siblings, she was a kindergarten teacher. Back then, Hazel was one of her students and Hazel recalled how much the kids loved Edith.

Her auntie was someone who loved being surrounded by kids. Although it was tiring to look after the children, Edith found it enjoyable. Perhaps, that was the reason she chose to quit her job to look after the two kids.

But now that the two of them had grown up, and will soon leave to pursue their study. When that time comes, her Auntie Edith will be at loss in that big house. Although her uncle loved her auntie dearly and would always accompany her, he will still have to deal with the company matters.

Perhaps it was good that they would soon have more kids. This way, Edith would not be as lonely and would find something to keep herself busy with. 

Hazel shifted her gaze to Hayden and spoke, "Back then, when Auntie Edith gave birth to you, she was two or three years older than I am now." She recalled her conversation with her Great-Grandpa a few days ago and sighed. "Should I start to get into a relationship?"

Hayden felt the corner of his mouth started to twitch. "Elder sister, everyone should follow their own pace. There is no one too early or too late."

Hazel looked at the boy and raised a brow. "What are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying that you should not get married and have kids too early like our mother," Hayden said. 

"Why not?" Hailey asked.

"If you have kids early, wouldn't the twins got confused as to why they will be addressed as uncle or auntie when they were still so young?" Hayden explained.

Hazel laughed at his words.

Soon the waiter delivered their food and the three of them ate their meal as they chatted happily. The crowd in the shopping mall has gotten bigger that it was hard for them to walk around. Seeing that they had everything they needed, the three of them decided that it was time to go home. 

As they were nearing the entrance, Hazel saw two familiar faces. Her eyes brightened up and Hazel quickly walked over. "Auntie Lily," Hazel greeted. Her gaze shifted to the teenager beside Lily and Hazel called. "Ellie."

Lily was looking at her phone when Hazel had approached. The moment she saw Hazel and the two siblings, a smile appeared on Lily's face. "Did you three come out to shop around?"

"Hmm… We're just finished shopping around. Now that the crowd has grown, we're planning to return home." Hazel shifted her gaze between the mother and daughter. "Auntie Lily, did you come here just the two of you?"

Lily flashed a smile. "Initially, I wanted to ask Alex to accompany us here, but last night, Alex was discussing some business matter with his father until late at night. When we came out, he was still sleeping. I don't have the heart to wake him up."

"Auntie Lily, are you waiting for someone to pick you up?"

"The driver is supposed to pick us up," Lily said. "But the traffic heading to the city is really bad. It has come to a complete standstill. It would take him around half an hour to reach here."

"Auntie Lily, just tell the driver to turn around. I can drive you home."

"Mom, let's just go with Big Sister Hazel," Ellie said. "We have been standing here for a while and I'm getting tired."

Lily glanced at the siblings and after a brief persuasion, she then agreed. 

Lily took a shotgun while the three teenagers sat at the back. The three of them were of close age and as they were all familiar with each other, it did not take them too long to find a topic to discuss.

Meanwhile, Hazel chatted with Lily and their talk revolved around Edith's unexpected pregnancy.

Fortunately, the traffic heading out of the city was not as bad as it was towards the opposite direction. After around twenty minutes drive, Hazel pulled over the vehicle in front of the He's residence.

Swiftly, both Hayden and Hailey helped both Lily and Ellie to carry their stuff inside the house. 

"Don't just leave yet. Since you have helped us, how about staying for a while for a cup of tea?" Lily said.

Hazel glanced at the two siblings and agreed. She went into the kitchen to continue her conversation with Lily as she watched the elder lady preparing a pot of tea.

"Mom."

Suddenly, there was a slightly hoarse and lazy voice coming from the entrance. Swiftly, both Hazel and Lily turned towards the direction of the voice and found that Alex was watching them with a surprised expression on his face. 

His hair was messy and the shirt on his body was slightly creased.. It was clear that he had just got up from bed.
