Since Josiah had been assigned to Mikayla, Carlos either relied on Kashton for rides or drove himself.
"Carlos, I'm running out of places to put them. Ever since they had confirmed their relationship, he had been

Carlos then detailed the preferences of Garrett and Selena, as well as Natasha's likes. Each gill was carefully

Behind the intricately carved gates lay a sprawling estate reminiscent of a royal garden, its design an

Garrett and Selena were already waiting at the entrance.
After instructing the staff to retrieve the items from the trunk, Carlos took Mikayla's hand and led her inside. His

"Mikayla, we know you're busy. Thanks for coming. We hope it wasn't too much trouble, Selena greeted Mikayla
warmly.
When they entered the grand living room, the table had been laden with gifts that Carlos had chosen for Garrett,

From her first meeting with Carlos' parents, Mikayla had sensed their kindness, which reassured her that any

"Of course, she'll love it! Natasha has been eagerly asking when you would arrive since this morning" Selena
