A tiny Enzo approached the door, his little legs moving in a charming, endearing waddle.

The little one danced on their tiptoes, eyes sparkling with excitement as they stretched their hands up toward Enzo, a beacon of hope and joy.

"Up," declared the child with the shimmering golden locks, eyes sparkling with excitement.

Enzo flashed a mischievous grin, his head tilting just so, as he effortlessly scooped her up, cradling her against his back with an ease that spoke of familiarity and warmth. "Hurry, Daddy, hurry!" The tiny voice of the child broke the silence.

"Hey, Celeste, don't forget—no running in the house!" With a knowing glance, you guided her gaze toward her husband, carefully lifting Celeste from his back and placing her gently at the table.

The small girl released a frustrated sigh, her hands striking the table with a resounding thud. "Eat, eat," Celeste urged, her body wiggling with eager anticipation.

"Enzo, darling, would you be so kind as to fetch Leo for me?" With a determined nod, he set off down the hallway, anticipation bubbling within him as he approached Leo's room.

You carefully arranged a plate with two delicate portions, just right for their two cherished little ones.

The food was artfully arranged—a delightful spread of eggs, biscuits, and jam, with vibrant slices of juicy strawberries to enchant the little ones.

She poured her heart into crafting meals for her children, striving to make each one a perfect balance of nutrition and delight.

At just four years old, Celeste's appetite appeared to expand with every fleeting moment, as if she were a tiny star drawing in the universe's delights.

She embraces the thrill of culinary exploration, a stark contrast to her younger brother Leo, who prefers the familiar and safe.

He possesses an uncanny ability to be exceptionally selective about his meals, frequently turning down anything presented to him just like her dad.

His meals frequently end up on the floor along with the spirited outbursts of a two-year-old, which is a familiar scene that plays out with a certain chaotic charm.

The tantalizing scent of the freshly prepared meal enveloped Enzo, drawing him back into the dining room with an irresistible allure.

"It smells delightful, my love," he remarked softly, carefully settling Leo into his highchair. "Thank you," you said, a warm glow spreading through her as you gently placed the smaller portions before the eager children. "Your kindness means a lot to me."

Enzo observed the two children as they playfully picked at their food, their small hands reaching for morsels with innocent curiosity. He chuckled softly, watching as Leo impulsively tossed the strawberries aside, their vibrant red splattering against the earth. "I hope I get more than this," Enzo remarked, his gaze lingering on the meager portions on the children's plates.

You shook your head, a hint of annoyance flickering in your eyes, as you placed Enzo's meal before him. It was a feast, brimming with hearty portions and an abundance of protein, designed to satisfy even the most ravenous of appetites.

"So, the auditor office was... considering a promotion for me," you said with a bright smile, seated across from her husband and beside Celeste.

Enzo's expression shifted in an instant, his meal vanishing before our eyes as he leaned forward, anticipation dancing in his gaze, ready to share his thoughts. "Phina, that's absolutely incredible!" "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Enzo inquires with an upbeat spirit.

"I had my doubts about whether it would come to fruition, but it seems today is the day they wish to discuss it with me." Enzo felt a warm smile spread across his face, a sense of pride swelling within him as he reflected on all the remarkable achievements you had garnered during your years at the ministry.

"That is wonderful news, my love," Enzo replied, a radiant smile gracing his lips as he eagerly scooped a spoonful of the delectable substance and brought it to his mouth.

You smiled back, glancing at her children. Leo's face was a mix of concentration and crumbs, as he seemed to be consuming more of his meal than actually eating it while Celeste devoured her food with a fervor that suggested she had never known hunger before.

As you reflected on the winding path that had brought her to this moment, a wave of warmth washed over you, filling your heart with an intensity that was both comforting and profound.

A smile broke across your face, a reflection of the satisfaction swelling within you at the strides you had taken. A decade past, you could never have foreseen the twists and turns that would lead her to this moment in time.
