"We are glad that you like it.", said Merry and Johnathan hugging her back.

"I heard from Reo that you liked the bedroom of you at their place a lot. So, I designed your new room as same as it but with a little different.", said Johnathan happily.

"Alora, baby. Mama has a request for you. Will you keep it if you can??? I won't force you to do anything against your will. But still if possible for you, then please fulfill it.", said Merry in a gentle voice while holding Alora's hands.

"What is it, mama??? I will do whatever you want. Say it.", Alora said happily.

"Dear, if you don't mind or if you don't feel bad, can you address your uncle Johnathan as papa??? This is what I wanted from you.", said Merry in a sad voice.

"Merry, don't force our little angel.", said Johnathan sadly.

"It's ok, papa. Mama has the right to make that request and I will love to address you as my papa.", Alora said happily while putting Johnathan and Merry's hand together.

"Thank you, my dear. You are really an angel.", said Merry by hugging Alora happily.

The room was painted with white having light blue flowers on each of the walls and the top of the room was designed to look like the sky and as it was the day time it was looking like the white clouds floating here and there in the light blue sky around the bright sun and at night it would show the moon and the sky full of stars.

"Thank you, papa. I like it very much.", said Alora happily by holding Johnathan's hands.

"As far as you like it our little angel.", said Johnathan while patting Alora's head.

Then with the passing of the time three of them started to have their new family time together happily. Selina and Reo often came to visit them expect Evan. According to Selina, he was busy with his studies. So, that's why he couldn't come to visit them. Meanwhile, Alora's granny was also in touch with Alora and others.
