Chapter 61 A Feast Of Celebration

• Ava leaned against the kitchen counter, brushing a strand of hair from her face as she took a deep breath. The aroma of roasted vegetables and freshly baked bread filled the air, mingling with the faint hum of laughter from the living room. She had worked tirelessly to make the evening special-a feast to celebrate Alexander's recent breakthrough.
• Her heart swelled with pride when she thought of him. For weeks, he had poured every ounce of himself into his work, and tonight was proof that the sleepless nights and endless planning had paid off. She wanted to honor that. She wanted him to feel cherished.
• "Ma'am," Monica's voice broke through her thoughts. The housekeeper's warm smile matched her tone. "The dining area is set, and we're ready to go. I'm so happy for you both."
