Chapter 383
Athena specially visited Zayn's training base in the outer ring. Stepping through the gate, she saw an open field before her.
On the training field, employees in military uniforms were either marching in formation, practicing hand-to-hand combat, or running laps. Further away, some were practicing driving and shooting. Anyone unaware of the situation might mistake. the place for an army base. Next to the field were classrooms, where employees were studying Maiselish and various etiquettes. Each of them looked energetic and incredibly reliable.
Athena was very satisfied. She felt that Zayn was indeed a talent. Of course, my brothers are all talents, she thought.
Alaric made it to the quarterfinals in last October's National Tennis Open, which might not sound very impressive. However, this tournament was the highest-level tennis event in the country, with the strongest domestic players all in attendance. Several top ten players from the world tennis rankings also participated.
As a newcomer, Alaric's performance was considered remarkable. As a result, he obtained a precious Emelorian Open wild card slot and traveled to Emeloria with this wild card to compete in the Emelorian Open.
When Athena returned home, Alaric was already overseas. However, she could admire Alaric' on television.
At night, the whole family enjoyed a late-night snack while watching Alaric play in the match.
Alaric played exceptionally well, full of energy, like a wind-up toy, running around the court and exhausting his opponent. In the end, he won the match.
When the commentator announced, "Congratulations to Alaric for advancing to the Emelorian Open Men's Singles Round of 64, becoming the first domestic male player to reach the second round of the Emelorian Open, and his current ranking has also entered the global top 100 for the first time," the whole family cheered.
Claire smiled and said, "By the time he comes home, it will be close to Christmas. We must have a good celebration this Christmas."
Hearing this, Josie suddenly thought of something. She tugged at her little braid and frowned slightly, saying, "I'm going to participate in the Christmas Special this year, so I might not be able to celebrate Christmas at home."
The entire family instantly fell silent and looked at her in surprise. 'She celebrated her 7th birthday last month and will participate in Christmas Special next month. She's only seven years old... thought everyone.
Athena was also a bit surprised, but being experienced and well-exposed, she remained calm and clapped, saying, "Josie, you're amazing! When was this decided? We can celebrate with you in advance if you tell us earlier."
"Ms. Limbert told me last week," said Josie, scratching her head. She didn't seem to understand what participating in the Christmas Special would mean for her and appeared a bit troubled. "At first, I didn't want to go because if I did, I wouldn't be able to celebrate Christmas at home.
"But Ms. Limbert said many talented singers will be there, and if I go, I can hear them sing in person and learn from them. That way, I can make even greater progress. So I agreed.
"Oh yes, Ms. Limbert asked me to check with our family but I forgot to tell you. If you don't want me to go, I won't."
The whole family was speechless. Wesley took a deep breath and pretended to remain calm. "If you want to go, go ahead. The family will support you."
Claire lovingly patted her head. "Your dad and I will go with you, and we'll spend Christmas with you at the TV station. Josie's eyes lit up, and she happily said, "Thank you, Daddy and Mommy! You're the best!" 08-24 Mon, Nov 18 GTO

Arthur also said, "Ill go with you too."
Athena asked, "Josie, what will you perform at Christmas Special?

She did not mention that she would accompany Josie to the venue because the elderly family members could only celebrate Christmas in Kimore City, and some family members would need to stay home to keep them company. Josie said, "Ms. Limbert said the art troupe invited a famous teacher to compose a new song for me to sing on Christmas Special. She asked if I'd be scared to sing alone, and I said no."
Her teacher often had different people listen to her sing to help build her courage, and she had gotten used to that atmosphere. Now, she was not afraid at all.
The whole family fell silent. Maria asked, "Are you going to sing solo?"
Josie nodded. "Yes, the teacher said she plans to let me sing solo on Christmas Special
The whole family was lost for words.
Many celebrities and artists performed in the Christmas Special, but the time was limited. Only a few singers had the opportunity to perform solo, and even many popular stars and artists only got to sing in groups or duets. But Josie, who had just turned 7, was already going to sing solo on the Christmas Special. The younger generation indeed has great potential... thought everyone.
Wesley and Claire looked at each other, one touching his graying hair, the other rubbing the wrinkles on her face, both sensed that "we really are getting old, we're going to be overtaken by the younger generation."
Of course, they were both extremely happy and proud in their hearts. Claire patted Josie's head and said, "The family loves listening to you sing, Josie, if you want to sing, just sing happily
Josie loved hearing this. Her little face glowed with a bright smile. "Yes, I'm going to sing for my family."
Athena watched this scene with a smile, full of satisfaction. Having returned to the Donovan family for two and a half years, she had watched each member of the family shine in their own way. She felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Following that was the busy preparation time for the exam. At the end of the month, Athena had just finished her last exam when she received a call from Brandon.
Brandon said, "I just returned from Aeloria. I haven't seen you for a long time. Is it convenient if I pick you up from school?"
During this period, he often went abroad and participated in various exhibitions and technical exchange meetings. Athena had not seen him since she returned.
Anthena was very happy to receive this call. "I've been staying at school for the past few days. The car has been sent for maintenance. It's great if you can pick me up."
Brandon said smiling, "I'm already at the school gate. Send me your location."
Athena was dumbfounded. 'Brandon arrived so soon. Wasn't he afraid that I might not be in school?' She then sent her location over.
At this moment, the campus was bustling with people. As the holiday break was approaching, many students had packed their luggage and prepared to head home. With the cold weather, everyone seemed to be in a hurry, rushing to get on the road. Athena did not notice that not far behind her, Joy was in a small shop by the roadside, buying something. Meanwhile, Brandon was driving his car over.
