Chapter 116: Family Is A Gift (THE END)
Months after Samantha and Ethan had their honeymoon, they were back to their busy lives.
With the second hotel in full operation, Samantha was now running five restaurants all in all. She now manned over two hundred chefs, requiring the promotion of two executive chefs.
Ethan, on the other hand, was on the road to making his first Diamond Hotel outside the city. Ultimately, he wanted to make a hotel chain, keeping the Diamond brand.
Kenzie and Kyle accelerated two years ahead, making them ready for high school after a year. While still young, both were fixated on their dreams and already had a map outlined for them to follow. Kyle wanted to be a computer engineer while Kenzie wanted to be a model or an actress.
While the entertainment industry was not what Ethan dreamed for his child, he understood that he should not be in the way of his daughter's dream. He supported them by giving outside-of-school classes.
At an early age of eleven, Kenzie could already sing diva songs and could dance like a pro. She could already play the piano and guitar. Her list went on and on, anything in the field of music and entertainment.
Kyle, on the other hand, had tried his very first hacking and his very first hack was John Garcia's computer, followed by his Mommy's.
The young boy genius was already interested in creating mobile apps, designing a user interface through an xcode program.
During his free time, he learned various codes, practicing how to make his applications to perfection.
Ethan could already see it; he would need to venture into software development soon enough with the skills of his son. He swore Kyle will take over his company when the right time would come. With Kate and Kaleb at conversational age, life was humorous and adorable at the Wright mansion.
The two were both loquacious and entertaining, further encouraging visits from both sides of grandparents into their home, nearly every weekend.
As for our couple's love-life? They are still at it, hungry for each other practically every night.
Samantha resorted to injectable contraceptives, a safer way to keep at it, given her husband's stamina.
They remain to only have four children, and they meant to keep it that way.

On one fine evening, a day before Ethan's birthday, the family happily discussed the man's birthday party the following day.
It was during dinner that they all expressed their excitement, especially Kyle and Kenzie.
Ethan, likewise, was looking forward to celebrating his birthday with friends and family. They concluded the family dinner early, resting to bed at ten in the evening.
Little did Ethan know, Samantha only pretended to sleep. She was up, waiting for the hours to pass until it would officially be her husband's birthday.
At 11:50 PM, she turned to the other side of the bed and texted her son, Kyle, "Son, is everything ready?"
Kyle texted back, "Ready Mom!"
At exactly twelve midnight, Samantha carefully got up from the bed, making sure not to wake her husband.
She let her children enter their room, reminding them to keep quiet.
Kate and Kaleb were giggling as they climbed up next to their Daddy.
Kyle held the cake while Kenzie held the balloons.
As soon as Samantha took out the gifts from the closet, they all settled down and began to sing, "Happy birthday, Daddy! Happy birthday, Daddy! Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Daddy!"
As Ethan got up, a smirk became painted on his face. At the same time, he shook his head while he was at it. He announced, "My, my. Did I just got surprised?!"
Everyone in the family laughed before each of his babies greeted him.
"Happy birthday, Daddy! We love you!" Exclaimed Kenzie.
"Blow your candle first, Dad?" Kyle urged.
"Happy birthday Dad, thank you for everything you have given us - my computer room, my computer
studies and even if you are busynet
thank you for spending time with us," Kyle expressed after Ethan happily blew the candle.

"And me? Thank you for my music lessons, my dance lessons, my voice lessons, and for always being a great Dad!" Kenzie happily told.
Kate sat on Ethan's lap and kissed
her father on the cheek. She handed him a card, made from a regular bond paper, and said, "This is my gift for you, Dad. Happy Birthday I love yout." sŵnovel.net
"Daddy, thank you for teaching me basketball! I love it!" Kaleb sat opposite side to Kate. He said, "Happy Birthday, Dad. I love you."
Ethan then turned to Samantha, knowing it was her turn. He saw how his wife was teary-eyed and he asked, "Shouldn't I be the one crying?" Samantha wiped the tears on her face and said, "Hon, thank you for coming into our lives. I love you beyond words. Happy birthday." Ethan wound up reaching for Samantha and embracing her.
As Kyle set the cake on the bedside table, he urged everyone for a hug, "Let's all embrace Daddy!"
They all relished into a hug, with
Ethan giving each of his children a
kiss before he also pecked on Samantha's forehead. He told, "I love each and every one of you. Thank
you for this wonderful surprise... This may very well be... the best birthday I had ever had."
"Dad, what would you like to wish for on your birthday?" Kenzie asked.
Ethan smiled and answered, "I wish to spend all my life with my family." Repeating the kiss on their foreheads, the man added, "You. You. You. You and of course, you."
"All of you are the greatest gift the heavens have given me... Family is a gift," Ethan closed. "As you grow old, always remember that family comes first no matter what."
