Oops! My Secret Baby Is Caught By His Top-Lawyer Daddy! Novel

---- Chapter 117: New Year's Gift Clara's heart was bursting with joy, and her smile never wavered. Last year, she and Leo had celebrated New Year quietly with Sierra and her daughter. It had been pleasant, yes, but nothing compared to the lively chaos of today. She had chosen a custom red gown for the occasion. The delicate buttons snaked gracefully up to her neck, and the hand-embroidered flowers looked almost alive. Her hair was swept into an elegant updo, complemented by pear! earrings that made her appear both regal and festive. Beside her, Leo wore a matching formal outfit.

His cheeks were rosy, his eyes sparkling, and he looked impossibly adorable. Aaron glanced down at his casual attire and frowned. "You didn't get me a formal outfit too?" Clara chuckled at the thought. "I didn't want you to look like some rich guy straight out of a rural town!" Indeed, his laid-back, rugged vibe clashed terribly with the bold red ensemble. Aaron's smile widened. "Still, order me one. I want us ---- to match as a family when we go out. The three of us should look coordinated." Clara hesitated. "Go out on New Year's? Are you kidding?

I'll be packed with people." She shivered at the memory of last year's fireworks-crowds so thick she barely saw any of the bursts, and then a long, exhausting trek back when they couldn't get a cab. Aaron shrugged. "We'll find a quieter spot this time." Across the table, Lucian raised his glass. "Since today is New Year's, a day of celebration, I'd like to take advantage of my seniority and say a few words." Everyone set down their utensils to listen. "We live in a peaceful era. Today, we enjoy comfort, safety, and joy.

I send my heartfelt New Year blessings to all the younger generation-may you have health, success in work, and may all your dreams come true! You are exceptional in my eyes. I hope the coming year brings you new achievements and even greater glory!" Everyone applauded and raised their glasses in celebration. Clara lifted her glass. "To Lucian-may you stay healthy and achieve all your dreams! And to Mr. Storm, may inspiration flow endlessly, and may your ---- music reach new heights!" After finishing their drinks, Lucian and Sebastian handed gifts to Clara, Aaron, and Leo.

Clara tried to decline politely. "You're too kind." Sebastian chuckled. "I hope you and Aaron have another baby soon. By next New Year, it would be perfect to have both a son and a daughter!" Clara blushed, taking the gifts. Elders were always like this-if you weren't married, they pushed for marriage; married, they pushed for a child; had one, they pushed for a second. Even a great musician couldn't escape the custom! Aaron smiled as he accepted his gift. "Thank you both! Wishing you health and success in everything this year!" The meal lasted a full three hours.

As the New Year special began on TV, the atmosphere grew even more lively. Leo eagerly volunteered to play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" on the piano, delighting Sebastian. "What a talent! I might have to take you as my student someday." After dinner, Lucian and Sebastian settled in for a game of chess.
