King of the Wilderness

She nodded and laughed heartily, "Hmm, looks more reliable than the wild girl in our family. A woman should have some flesh."

"Listen, kid. From today on, you’re part of the McKinley family. If any rude bastard dares to bully you, just tell us! I promise to show him how men from Montana solve problems!"

These words elicited a good-natured laugh from everyone.

And when Lin Yu’an took the two adorable babies from the nanny’s arms, the attention of the four mothers was instantly captivated.

"Oh, my little angels!"

"Let me hold them quickly! Ethan looks just like Lin! That nose, those eyes!"

Ethan and Olivia instantly became the center of attention, being passed around in the arms of their grandmothers, who kissed their chubby cheeks with eyes full of overwhelming love and longing.

Just then, two blonde boys, wearing small Carhartt denim overalls, peeked out from behind big brother Wyatt’s leg. The older one is Jack, and the younger one is Kyle.

"Uncle!" Little Jack, upon seeing Lin Yu’an, ran over excitedly, wearing a necklace made of wolf teeth around his neck.

He proudly held up the wolf tooth necklace on his chest, "Look! The gift you personally made for me last time in Montana! I wear it every day now! Dad says I’m the bravest cowboy in the family!"

"Well done, my little hero." Lin Yu’an smiled and ruffled his little head.

He glanced at Kley, who was standing not far away, looking at the impressive mansion with a complex expression, and couldn’t help but recall a memory from a past life.

In a past life, after getting drunk, he once talked with these brothers-in-law about their favorite movies. Wyatt liked "True Grit," Garrett loved "First Blood," and Bo couldn’t stop praising "Wall Street."

Only Kley, after being silent for a long time, whispered an unexpected name—"Brokeback Mountain."

Since then, Lin Yu’an understood that this seemingly unruly fourth brother harbored a secret that was not accepted by the family deep in his heart.

And Robert, perceiving this, was filled with unspeakable worry and disappointment over his still unmarried status.

Lin Yu’an understood in his heart, knowing that this sensitive and perceptive brother-in-law might be the one who could best understand Aliya in this large family.

But his own door was firmly locked with a heavier chain.

He gave Kley a friendly smile, and Kley returned a somewhat complex smile.

After some pleasantries, Lin Yu’an smiled and made a welcoming gesture.

"Family, welcome to the Eagle’s Nest. It’s cold outside, let’s go in first."

As the huge double doors, made of solid oak and wrought iron, opened inward, a burst of air mixed with the scent of pine and the warmth of the fireplace greeted them, instantly dispelling the cold outside.

And the scene behind the doors left the McKinley family, who had just been chatting and laughing, collectively stunned for a moment.

It was a majestic foyer with a height of at least ten meters, reminiscent of the main hall of a medieval castle. A massive antler chandelier hung from the wooden beams, emitting a warm and wild glow.

At the end of the foyer, there was an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, outside which was a magnificent snow-covered mountain range, like a giant suspended painting in the sky, capturing everyone’s attention.

"Is this... your home?" The most unruly Kley was the first to break the silence, his voice filled with disbelief.

He looked around, his gaze finally landing on Lin Yu’an, speaking in a half-teasing, half-serious tone, "Aliya, this place is much more luxurious than that little cabin you had in Alaska!"

This immediately reminded Bo, who had also been to Alaska.

Bo’s face showed a more complex and thoughtful expression than the others, but he didn’t speak immediately, just silently observing everything around him.

Lin Yu’an continued to smile and said, "Come in, relax. Aliya, you take everyone around to get familiar with the environment. Lunch still needs a little time to prepare."

"Sure!" Aliya, like a proud little peacock, felt incredibly proud and excited to personally show her family their new home.

"Come on, everyone! Welcome to my castle!" she playfully announced, then led everyone through the magnificent living room.

In the living room, there was a massive fireplace made of solid stone that reached the ceiling, making the brothers-in-law unable to resist coming forward to touch it, feeling its raw and rugged power.

"This fireplace... is bigger than the whole wall of the old house we have." Big brother Wyatt remarked deeply, his tone full of appreciation for such pure strength.

Then, Aliya pushed open a heavy soundproof door.

"Wow!" Little Jack and Kyle were the first to exclaim.

What unfolded before everyone was a private IMAX theater with a giant curved screen and two rows of top-notch leather massage chairs.

"You can even watch movies here?" Second brother Garrett’s eyes widened.

Beside him, a red-haired woman, Jessica, sank into one of the chairs, letting out a comfortable moan, "Damn! Robert! We absolutely need one of these in our home! I never want to go to that small, crappy theater in town again!"
