A few days later, many black luxury cars arrived at Jonathan's residence, leaving Xavier in wonder at how cool the vehicles were.
The main luxury vehicle's door opened, revealing a tall, muscular man with dark green hair and eyes wearing an expensive black suit. Furthermore, the man's stunning wife, who had gorgeous beige hair, appeared, wearing an exquisite long dress.
The two spouses also had a kid, who had his mother's hair and his father's eyes and was the same age as Xavier.
The wealthy man said with a broad smile, "Long time, no see, Jonathan!"
Jonathan, who was waiting for them, grinned and enthusiastically asked, "How have you been, Thomas?"
After a lengthy period of not seeing one another, Thomas and Jonathan gave each other a passionate, joyful hug.
"We haven't seen each other in three years," Thomas told Jonathan as they hugged each other.
"It's crazy to think that it's been that long," Jonathan shot back with a smile.
With a laugh, Thomas remarked, "Well, time flies by."
Jonathan then congratulated Charlotte, the wife of his best buddy, saying, "Miss Charlotte, you're as gorgeous as ever."
Charlotte, Thomas's wife, chuckled and said, "I'm flattered, Jonathan." "I've always wondered how you manage to talk to women so smoothly," Charlotte went on.
"I don't know myself; maybe experience?" was Jonathan's wry reply.
On the other hand, Thomas went up to Jonathan's children after noticing them from a distance and asked, "How have you been doing?"
"Greetings, Sir Williams Whitmore; we have been doing great, and you?" Aleksander and Violet said, bowing their heads.
Thomas replied, "I've been doing fine, and you?" with a smile.
"We've been doing great, Sir Williams," eagerly answered Violet.
Thomas chuckled at Violet's excitement, but then he noticed Xavier and asked, "Oh, might you be Jonathan's new child?" with a smile on his face.
With a timid expression, Xavier responded, "Greetings, Mister Williams Whitmore; my name is Xavier Ashford."
Then Thomas remarked, "Why are you guys still addressing me as sir? Why don't you try calling me uncle? I'm your uncle.".
With a smile, Xavier responded, "All right, Uncle." Which made Thomas laugh at how cute he appeared as a result.
Thomas proceeded to brush Xavier's hair and remarked, "Xavier, you're just as gorgeous as your siblings."
Thomas went on, "Why don't you meet my son, Jason?"
Thomas, sensing Jason's absence, screamed out his name, and Jason came floating upside down in front of his father.
"I'm here," said an ecstatic Jason.
Jonathan asked, "Wait, so you're Thomas's newborn son?" in a startled tone.
Then Jason took off for Jonathan, greeting him with excitement.
With enthusiasm, Jason exclaimed, "Hello, Uncle Jonathan."
Still startled, Jonathan smiled and said, "Hi there, Jason."
Jonathan said, "You do look just like your father."
"I know, right; he's like a clone of me," Thomas remarked at that point.
"Thomas, that's what having a child means," Jonathan answered.
Thomas chuckled and continued, "Anyway, Jason, come say hello to your cousins."
Jason immediately took off for his father, bowing his head to meet Aleksander, Violet, and Xavier, his cousins.
Jason said with an adorable voice, "It's a pleasure to meet you, big sister and brother.".
"I'm glad to have met you as well," Aleksander smirked in response.
Abruptly, Violet patted Jason's head and remarked, "Your hair is as smooth as Xavier's," which caused Jason to blush at the compliment.
Xavier said nothing during the conversation and was shy the entire time. With a smile, Jason immediately took Xavier's hand and exclaimed, "I am very happy to know that there is someone my age here."
Then, with a little nod of agreement, Xavier made everyone else gasp at how adorable they were.
"Xavier, why don't you and your sister go play with Jason?" Jonathan then asked. "And give him a tour of the home?" he continued.
After that, Xavier nodded and said, "All right, Papa."
Violet and Xavier gave Jason a tour of their house. And as they did, Jason saw a portrait of a woman, whose eyes were as blue as the sky and whose gorgeous silver hair resembled that of Violet and Aleksander. And it was beyond human imagination.
To his shock, Jason exclaimed, "Wow, who's that beautiful woman?"
"That's our mom," Violet answered.
Jason then said, "That's your mother? She is very beautiful."
"Well, our mother, Fyodora, was a very beautiful woman," Violet remarked, laughing. "And our father would constantly comment on how much I resembled her," Violet continued.
Then, curious, Jason said, "And where is your mother at the moment? I wish to meet her."
Violet answered, smiling but sounding sorrowful, "Our mother passed away. After giving birth to me",".
This discovery surprised and saddened Jason, who then said, "I'm sorry."
Violet assured Jason, saying that he was unaware of their mother's death and that he didn't need to apologize about it.
With tears in her eyes, Violet brushed them away and replied, "Let's carry on with the tour," beaming broadly. "It's time to explore our fantastic rooms now," she said with excitement.
For a brief while, Xavier lingered behind to look at the portrait of his sibling's mother before Violet and Jason started to head upstairs.
To himself, Xavier thought, "I wish I could have met her. How much of a loving mother could she have been?".
Xavier was immediately called out for by Violet, who said, "Xavier!, Are you planning to come?"
"Yes, hold on a moment," Xavier answered.
