Robert took the gifts for Nathan.
Cameron approached Nathan, draped his arm around Nathan's shoulders, and patted him. Taking a quick look at Nathan, Cameron asked, "You doing okay?"
"Yeah, I'm good," Nathan replied.
Cameron was still his friend, so he was polite.
Fenna greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Hoffis."
Since Fenna and Cameron were Nathan's friends, Tristan and Michaela warmly invited them in. "Please, cinside."
Cameron also quickly greeted, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Hoffis."
"Hello," the couple replied together. "Con in and take a seat."
Mila sat on the couch, keeping an eye on Jasper and Elio. When she saw the guests arriving, she smiled warmly, but inside, she felt disgusted.

Cameron approached Mila and greeted her, "Hey, Wanda, it's been a while."
"Hello, Cameron," Mila replied politely. She stood up and motioned for them to sit. "Please, have a seat."
Fenna didn't acknowledge Mila, as her attention was solely on Nathan. She smiled warmly at him.
Tristan and Michaela didn't notice anything unusual. They remained polite to Fenna, inviting her to join them for coffee and snacks.
Cameron expressed concern about Nathan's well-being, specifically inquiring about his recent month-long absence and whether he had suffered any injuries.
Meanwhile, Fenna was playing with Elio. She occasionally remarked on Elio's adorableness before Michaela.
Suddenly, her attention shifted to Jasper, who was in Mila's arms, and she asked, "Is that Nate's son?"
Fenna's question completely disregarded Mila's role as Jasper's mother, catching Mila off guard.
Nathan's expression turned serious, and he stopped conversing with Cameron. He cast a displeased glance at Fenna.
"Jay's hungry. I'll take him upstairs to the maternity nurse for feeding," Mila announced. She got up and turned to Cameron. "You guys keep chatting. I'll head up first." S
"Sure," Cameron replied.
After Mila left the living room, Fenna smiled gently and casually remarked, "Jay isn't breastfed?"
"No," Michaela replied.
"The child was premature and weak. He should be breastfed. Is Wanda afraid of suffering? Why can't she endure it for the sake of the child?" Fenna grumbled softly.
As a mother herself, Michaela enjoyed discussing parenting topics. However, she sensed a hint of unfriendliness in Fenna's words toward Mila.
Given Fenna's friendship with Nathan, Michaela kept her smile intact and responded, "Ms. Hudson, you haven't had children yet, have you?"
"Not yet," Fenna replied with a thin smile. "But if I did, I wouldn't want my child to be born prematurely or have to rely on formula."
"Ms. Hudson, your perspective is commendable." Michaela played along. "But I heard from Phoebe that when Wanda gave birth, there were complications.

Michaela panicked. She feared that Mila and Nathan might consider moving away.
In a rush, she explained, "Wanda and Nate are married. So, Wanda's his also Nate's, and having everyone together makes the house feel more lively."
