The priest turned his head, his bright and wise eyes briefly sweeping over the people standing in front of him. His gaze landed on Rose and he said, "Don't get too caught up in one thing, paying more attention to your work will be more beneficial. Effort always pays off. As for other matters, don't sweat the small stuff. What's meant to be yours will be yours, if it's not meant to be, no amount of insisting will make it yours."
At his words, the hopeful expression on Rose’s face instantly turned pale.
Then, the priest turned to Yulia, saying, "You will have many children, and you are a lucky person."
Upon hearing this, Chloe became interested. She couldn't help but ask, "How many children? How many daughters, and how many sons?"
Perhaps feeling a bit guilty about Chloe, the priest gave Yulia an extra glance and said, "She will only have one daughter, but at least three other sons."
Chloe was a bit thrilled at his words. She looked at Damon and said with a chuckle, "Your Harper family is truly blessed, Nathan is so amazing for having at least four kids."d2
Damon simply smiled, holding her arm a little tighter. "I'll outdo him."
The crowd fell silent. Chloe blushed deeply and stammered as she spoke. "This is a holy place. What are you saying?" The surrounding gazes made her lower her head.

Chloe was speechless, as there were two other worldly people present. Yulia and Rose turned their gaze away, while the priest kept his smile, his expression unchanged. He continued to say to Yulia, "Your daughter will be older, and it's a blessing to have a few younger brothers to protect her." The priest changed the subject, sparing Chloe further embarrassment, and turned his gaze to Yulia.
Rose seemed surprised, "Yulia, your first child is a daughter? My son is already engaged, or else we could have become in-laws."
Yulia’s eyes flickered away, she simply smiled and said, "That's...a pity."
"No worries, I'll treat her as my goddaughter."
Yulia nodded, "That's not bad."
Chloe watched Yulia, noting every subtle change in her expression. She furrowed her brows but ultimately remained silent.
Then, the priest turned to Damon, "You...."
