“It’s alright. I don’t feel like going there, and besides, I’m exhausted,” she murmured before heading
into her bedroom.
Over thest few days, she had been feeling rather tired. Something was bothering her and making her
feel uneasy, yet she could not figure the reason behind it. As such, she felt a little lost.
“Mom, are you feeling unwell?” Lucius entered her room and asked.
Looking at her son, she gently replied, “Nope, that’s not the case. What’s wrong? Is there anything you
need?”
To her surprise, the childmented, “I think you are unhappy, Mom.”
He sure warms my heart. With a smile, Joan stretched out her arm to caress the boy’s head.
She mused, “Why would I be unhappy when I have a precious son like you?”
Climbing onto her bed, Lucius excitedly whispered beside her ear. “Mom, I think Dad bought you a gift.”
Instantly, Joan’s eyes lit up, and she felt more energetic than before.
When did hee back?
“How do you know?” she questioned.
Tilting his head with a mysterious expression on his face, Lucius took a moment to ponder.
He finally said, “Mom, Dad loves you very much, so please y along.” Without giving away any more
details, he ran out of the room.
How old is he? I can’t believe he knows how to leave others with a cliffhanger.
“Joan? Come and have dinner!” Larry called out from the dining room.
Sure enough, he was home.
Despite feeling tired, Joan dragged herself out of bed.
As soon as she opened the door, she heard a scream, followed by the popping of balloons. All she
could see in front of her was petals, and it smelled wonderful.
What on earth is going on? Bewildered, she stared at Delh and Larry, who stood before her.
“Mom, Happy Birthday!” Lucius appeared out of nowhere while yelling at the top of his lungs.
Following that, Larry pushed a cake cart towards her while singing a birthday song.
“Happy Birthday!” He eximed.
“Joan, Happy Birthday! Larry specially prepared everything for you,” Delh exined.
At that point, Joan was overwhelmed by gratitude.
If not for Larry’s surprise event, she would have forgotten that it was her birthday today and went
through it like any other day.
“This is for you,” Larry sweetly dered as he leaned closer to her to sp a ne around her
neck.
Abruptly, a loud knock sounded at the door. The people in the house exchanged confused looks.
Logically speaking, no one would visit them at this hour.
“Who is it?” Delh called out.
A man’s voice sounded, “It’s me!”
What is he doing here sote at night? Instinctively, Larry and Joan had their guards up.
“Is he here for you?” Delh turned to Joan.
However, the younger woman was puzzled too. “I’m not sure either.”
“Ms. Young, I’m sorry for bothering you at this hour, but is Joan at home?” Caiden politely questioned
when Delh opened the door.
“We are about to head to bed. What are you doing here?” Delh queried.
“Isn’t it Joan’s birthday today? I have been quite busy recently and was not able to celebrate her
birthday earlier in the day. Therefore, I’m here to deliver her birthday gift,” Caiden revealed the purpose
of his visit.
How does he know that it’s her birthday? Deep in thoughts, the older woman said nothing.
“Joan, Happy Birthday!” He cheered before running straight to the living room where Larry and Joan
were.
“Caiden? Hello,” the child greeted.
“Oh, Larry, you are here too.” Caiden acknowledged the other man in the room before he turned to
pass Joan a box. “Here, this is a gift for you.”
To his dismay, Joan shrieked, “I don’t want it!”
Her sudden outburst scared Lucius.
Reading the situation in the room, Delh whispered to the boy, “Lucius,e and have some cake
with me.” Then, she swiftly picked up the young boy and headed out of the room with the cake.
“Grandma, is everyone else not eating?” Lucius asked.
“They are not eating it, so everything is for you,” His grandmother tried to assure him as she hurried out
of the room and closed the door.
