Chapter17 Birthday Gift

Book:Never Come Back To Him Published:2024-12-11

Susie walked downstairs in two or three steps and ran towards the school gate. She immediately spotted Ansel ‘s car parked on the side of the road.
The man was leaning against the front of the car, wearing a dark gray long coat over an off-white T-shirt, paired with smooth black casual pants. He looked like a college student, young and energetic.
It caused people around to look back frequently.
Within three minutes, he raised his hand to check the time three times.
They agreed to meet at 10 o’clock, but it’s already past time.
He took out his cell phone, found Susie ‘s number, and was about to dial it when a sweet and soft scent came over him.
Susie hooked her hands around Ansel ‘s neck and said coquettishly, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
“You’re late.”
Ansel glanced at her with his dark eyes, his hands lazily shoved in his pockets.
“I’m sorry, I promise I’ll be on time next time.”
Susie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn’t care.
“Get in the car.”
Ansel couldn’t see her little thoughts, he was just too lazy to expose them.
Susie quickly sat in the passenger seat and chattered almost non-stop the entire way.
Ansel turned the steering wheel, looking straight ahead and occasionally responding.
The car stopped at an intersection. Susie looked out the window casually and saw a huge LED screen playing an advertisement for the newly opened Universal Studios.
Her heart was instantly moved, and she tugged at the corner of the man’s clothes, looking expectantly: “Baby, shall we go to Universal Studios today?”
“Um.”
Today is to celebrate Susie’s birthday, and Ansel doesn’t care where he goes.
He casually handed over a bag with a luxury jewelry logo printed on it: “Birthday present.”
Susie opened it and exclaimed, “Isn’t this the latest limited edition bracelet from C? It’s super expensive and hard to buy!”
As she said that, she immediately took it out of the box and put it on her hand. Looking at the shell-style design and the chain inlaid with sparkling white diamonds, Susie couldn’t help but stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him.
“Is it good looking? How do you know I like this…”
She murmured in a coquettish and sweet voice, which simply melted the man’s bones.
The light turns green and Ansel lets off the accelerator.
Turning his head, he found Susie taking pictures with her phone. He casually said, “As long as you like it.”
Joanna said she wanted to take her somewhere, but Myrna didn’t expect her to come so early.
She had just woken up when she received the call.
Joanna : “Hurry up, little Myrna , there’s no parking downstairs, I’ll give you ten minutes!”
Ten minutes later, Myrna got into the car and handed her a sandwich.
Joanna took a bite and said, “You are never late.”
The sports car sped along, speeding all the way, and finally stopped outside Universal Studios.
Myrna looked up: “… Is this where you want to bring me?”
“Oh my~ What should I do if I get bored from studying every day? It’s the weekend, of course I have to relax~ I’ll go buy two tickets, you wait here.”
After a while, she came back.
In addition to the two tickets, Joanna also held two headbands in her hands.
“We’ll each take one.”
Joanna gave her the pure white fox headband and kept the pink Lingna Belle one for herself.
After putting it on, she saw that Myrna was still not moving, so she urged: “Why don’t you wear it yet?”
With no other options, Myrna had to wear it.
Joanna came to the front, looked at her for a few times, and then nodded with satisfaction: “It’s fluffy, not bad, it feels like a little fox fairy descended to the earth.”
She took Myrna’s hand and said, “Come on, come on, I have made a plan before coming here. Today, I will take you to have fun!”
“Ahhh”
“Mom, save me!”
The screams continued for five minutes. Myrna rubbed her numb ears, glanced at the person who had just vomited and had a pale face, and patted her back with amusement and heartache.
“Are you feeling better after vomiting?”
“I, ugh??”
Myrna quickly took out a tissue and squeezed out a bottle of water. When she finished vomiting, she immediately handed the water to her. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Joanna rinse her mouth and didn’t vomit again.
“They say the roller coaster here is a devil’s paradise. Now I understand what hell is. It scared me to death.”
Joanna vomited all over the place, wiped her mouth with tissue and patted her heart.
Myrna : “Who said to push the limits? You are just acting like that.”
Joanna is slightly afraid of heights, but she insisted on insisting under such circumstances. I can only say that she is a novice and a playful person, and she brought it upon herself.
“Woo, woo, isn’t it okay for me to regret it?” She leaned on Myrna ‘s shoulder, gasping for breath.
After resting for a while, Joanna ‘s energy was almost restored.
It was lunch time, so Myrna suggested we go eat something first.
Halfway through the walk, tourists passing by saw something and stopped to excitedly take pictures of the sky.
“So many balloons, is this some kind of opening surprise?”
“Are businesses so excited now? With so many balloons, it would take hours just to blow them up?”
Myrna looked up and saw large balloons floating in the cloudless blue sky, like a large blue ocean. The colorful ribbons tied to the balloons hung down naturally, and when the wind blew, they looked like dancing butterflies.
When the onlookers saw the short video, they enviously said, “The case has been solved! A rich second-generation man in the Central Square gave his girlfriend a birthday surprise.”
“How come I didn’t catch up with such a romantic thing? I can’t even catch up with the good times when eating melons!”
Joanna had no interest in this pursuit method, and poked the arm of the person next to her: “Let’s go, I’m hungry.”
“Um.”
There were a lot of people at Universal Studios on weekends, and there were two long queues at the pirate ship near the central square.
Ansel was standing in line, while Susie bought a smoothie on the side. She glanced at the crowd of people in front of her and said, “There are only ten more people left before our turn. Just hold on a little longer!”
Today’s temperature soared to 32 degrees. Ansel took off his coat and put it on his arms. While waiting, he played with his mobile phone out of boredom.
The people around started talking, and Susie followed the crowd’s gaze.
Next to the carousel in front of us, a sea of balloons slowly rose into the sky. A man walked towards the woman with a bouquet of red roses in his hand, and then the two hugged each other. It looked like a romantic love fairy tale.
“Is this a birthday surprise? How romantic.”
Susie is looking forward to it. Today is also her birthday. I wonder if Ansel has prepared any other surprises besides the gift…
Ansel glanced lazily over there, then lowered his head again with an expressionless face.
What others find romantic, he just finds boring.
It’s not that he didn’t know Susie ‘s expectations, but he had never arranged such flashy things when he was with Myrna before, and he would not make an exception now.
