Night has fallen and the party goes on. Phillip may not have been able to get Bradley’s attention, but he’s certainly got Tony’s, who he’s keeping entertained with stories about his family, the ineffable Altos.

Brad doesn’t seem to find these stories entertaining at all. He’s even a little jealous of Phillip stealing his dad’s attention at his own party!

Jean is not jealous, but worried; he is afraid that his parents might have fought because of him.

While they both take a break to enjoy dinner at last, Bradley tells him all the wonderful things he’s heard about Cahaya Island. Jean listens, mesmerized, and saddened at the same time that he won’t be able to join his brother.

Bradley: What do you mean she said no? Didn’t Dad talk to her? Jean: Dad has this policy of never contradicting Mom on anything concerning me.

Bradley: That's a wise policy, I guess. Anyway, don't worry, you'll become and adult soon, then you'll make your own decisions. Jean: Yeah, one more year and no one will be able to stop me, not even my mom. Bradley: I'll see you in Cahaya then. Jean: You bet.

Well, the party’s over, it’s time to dismiss the babysitter and put the kids to bed.

If they want to sleep, that is, cause Marlene at least slept through the whole party. Now she’s fresh as a daisy and ready to play all night long. The joys of being an exhausted middle-aged father of two toddlers.

Jean isn’t middle aged, but he’s exhausted too. He still has to finish his homework, and his phone won’t stop ringing.

“Okay, let’s see who’s so eager to talk to me. Maybe it’s Peggy or Meredith, maybe one of them changed their mind and wants to chat with me for the whole night.”

Nope. It’s Phillip Alto, calling Jean’s phone because Brad isn’t answering his. “Forget it, buddy, Brad’s already sleeping like a log. Call him tomorrow, okay? Bye.

And so it ends this historic gathering of the Langeraks. Yes, I know, they’re a rather peculiar family, but a happy one at that. This is the latest I have on them in Island Paradise, We'll probably see them all in Cahaya someday, although that may take some time. Thank you for reading this far. Stay tuned for a little more of Bradley at Inzoi's Cahaya. 💖

And here's Bradley, trying to bond with his half-brother Henri.

Jeannine is teaching Marlene to walk.

"Oh, very good dear, you're doing great!" (Hopefully the boys won't get jealous).

Henri doesn't seem to mind in the least that she focuses all her attention on Marlene at times, he seems more entertained with his toys, and is in no hurry to learn to walk.

And what about Jean, will he care? God knows. He always seems to be thinking about his music and the songs he will write, but he's still a teenager, though not for long, in fact he will soon be going to college.

As they will soon be away from home for several days, Tony and Jeannine decided to spend some quality time with their little ones.

After the children went to bed, and while Jeannine was relaxing by the pool, Tony took the opportunity to finish his latest painting. The very 'special' subject of the piece managed to awaken Jeannine's concern.

She knows that Tony has met all kinds of women: athletes, actresses, even mermaids! But a lime-green girl? What is she supposed to be, a plant, an alien?

He said it was just someone from his imagination, a character from his novels.

"So an alien, huh? Well, she looks pretty human to me! Whoever she is, she's certainly beautiful and Tony has put a lot of care in painting her. Why, is it normal to be jealous of a painting?"

Jean stayed downstairs to look after his little siblings Henri and Marlene so that his parents could talk in peace.

While Tony was on the phone, Jeannine quickly showered and changed clothes.

From what she could gather, the call hadn't last long, but Tony still hadn't come upstairs. Jeannine was eaten up by curiosity as to what Cassandra had called him about. Cause it was her, there was no doubt about it. It was all over Tony's face.
