~ Seattle, the Anderson family's villa ~
11:57 AM
Liz and Max arrived at the Anderson family's villa and asked the staff to help them carry presents inside. Other than Christmas presents, they also had souvenirs from their vacation.
Max immediately got busy arranging presents under the Christmas tree in the living room. Based on the number of packages, he guessed that Mia and Hunter contributed to the pile as well.
"How come you are here?", Liz asked Mia while giving her a hug.
Mia and Hunter were supposed to spend Christmas with Mia's family.
"I can ask you the same thing.", Mia returned the question.
Liz shrugged like it's not a big deal. "My dad is here, and it would be a pity to miss this gathering due to a few days of vacation that we can have later. Now your turn. I asked you first…"
