Today was Thomas’ birthday. Hence, Fandrey and Deborah personally went to the company to send gifts to Thomas. Furthermore, the company also prepared a birthday gift for Thomas. On the other hand, Francis and Frederick also send gifts on behalf of the Gurney family as well.
Both the Floyd family and Francis said they would celebrate Thomas’ birthday. Also, Emily had already told them in advance that she would celebrate his birthday with him too. Hence, Thomas refused the Floyd family and Francis because celebrating his birthday with Emily would be more meaningful.
After work, Thomas rushed directly to the apartment where Emily lived. However, Callum was the one who opened the door instead. He wore an apron and greeted Thomas with all smiles by saying, “Look, the birthday boy has arrived! Come in quickly!”
“Mr. Floyd, did you cook in person today?” Thomas asked in surprise.
“Nah, I’m just helping out with some tasks I’m not good at cooking. The chef here is Emily, and I’m just helping her as much as I can.”
“Wow! The president is helping in the kitchen personally. This will be a glorious birthday celebration indeed!” Thomas smiled and changed his shoes before walking in.
Meanwhile, Emily was busy cooking in the kitchen. Hence, Thomas went to the kitchen door and shouted, “Emily! Do you need my help?”
“Nah, I’ll be done soon!”
Emily didn’t want Thomas to help, but Thomas couldn’t stay idle either. After all, his boss has personally put on an apron to help out in the kitchen, so he didn’t look like he was free.
Therefore, Thomas took the bowls and chopsticks and began to put them on the table. After Emily cooked the last dish, Callum took out the cake and put it on the table.
“Here comes the cake! Emily made it herself. You are so lucky. Speaking of which, she didn’t even make a birthday cake for me. Hmph!” Callum sounded a little jealous when he said this.
Then, Emily smiled and said, “When we celebrate your birthday, I will make you a birthday cake.”
“That’s more like it!” Callum’s face broke into a smile after hearing the promise, and he asked, “Do you want me to light the candles and sing the birthday song for him?”
This was the first birthday that Callum and Emily had celebrated for Thomas together, so Emily immediately replied, “Of course! Not only do we need to light candles and sing the birthday song, but Thomas also needs to make a wish.”
Once Callum heard this, he smiled and lit the candle. Then, both he and Emily clapped their hands to sing the birthday song for Thomas. Meanwhile, Thomas was all smiles the whole time.
After the simple birthday ceremony, Emily poured out some red wine. After that, both she and Callum raised their glasses to wish Thomas a happy birthday.
The three of them clinked their glasses together. Emily drank red wine and looked at Callum and Thomas. She was extremely happy, and this was the first time in more than 20 years that she had celebrated Thomas’ birthday with Callum.
This was what she had been looking forward to. Today, her wish had granted.
Now, the only person missing in their family was Braelynn. Alas! It would be great if Braelynn was here.
That way, their whole family would be complete.
When Emily thought about Braelynn, she felt inexplicably sad. Both of her children were so excellent. Hence, the hard work she had put in the past few years to bear the humiliation and all the burdens was worth it. However, when she could allow both her children to meet each other? Also, when could Callum and Thomas reconcile with each other?
Thomas seemed to respect Callum very much, and Callum also admired him too. Well, they were father and son by blood!
Was it really good for her not to tell Callum and Thomas the truth?
If the truth was made public one day, would Thomas and Callum blame her?
When Emily thought about these problems, her heart become upset, and the smile on her face faded a little.
She was worried that Leonard would hurt Thomas, but she was also afraid that Callum and Thomas would blame her in the future.
Hence, she had to think about everything seriously before making a decision.
On the other hand, Leonard was finally in a good mood at night. Once he had finished dinner, the news about Azalea being sent back to the Davis family had already spread widely.
The assistant read out the rumours excitedly to Leonard. “Mr. Ye, the news said that Azalea has been pregnant for several months. Right now, her status also matches Michael’s too. Hence, the Davis family brought Azalea back because they are about to hold a wedding ceremony between Michael and Azalea.”
“Is that so?” Leonard perked up. “What else did they say?”
“He also said that Azalea and Michael’s wedding will be held overseas because there’s where they met each other the first time.”
Leonard was very surprised when he heard this. “What? Did Michael and Azala meet each other overseas?”
“Well, these are the rumours currently on the internet. They also said that Michael had already prepared a set of customised rings for Azalea, and the designer of the wedding dress is also a top designer as well. Furthermore, they said that Michael has already prepared a house for their marriage, and the house is near Valeria and William’s villa at the sea.”
“Haha! This news sounds interesting. It’s obvious that someone is deliberately causing trouble,” Leonard said with a cold laugh.
“Who do you think it is, Mr. Floyd?”
“Well, I think it’s Azalea or Francis. After all, only they want Azalea’s wish to be granted by getting her to marry Michael.”
“Is this a forced marriage? Will the Davis family take the bait?”
“She’s already pregnant, so he can’t escape this even though he’s unwilling. When she was taken back to the Davis family, she must have talked to Francis,” Leonard said as he glanced at the time. “What do you think Miss Clark is doing now?”
“It’s eight o’clock in the morning. Hence, Miss Clark should have had breakfast and taken a walk outside, right?” The assistant answered honestly.
“Ask the person who takes care of Miss Clark to find a way to so that she will hear about this rumour,” Leonard narrowed his eyes and said.
“Huh? Miss Clark will be very angry if she finds out about this. The doctor said that her body’s condition is not very good. So, it’s better for her to not get mad.”
“Didn’t she forget the dispute between Azalea and Michael? Since that’s the case, why would be she angry about this?” Leonard retorted.
“Well…” The assistant was at a loss for words when she heard this.
“Speaking of which, previously, Abbie was very determined to get rid of the baby in her belly, but now, she has stopped making any moves. Hmm, it’s very strange. I’ve spoken so badly about Michael in front of her, so logically speaking, I thought that she would take initiative to leave the hospital. However, she hasn’t mentioned it again after leaving the hospital. I’m really worried. If she knows this news, I think she will make up her mind, right?”
The assistant understood what Michael was trying to say and replied, “I’ll ask someone to inform Miss Clark immediately.”
Leonard nodded in reply. After that, he was suspicious of everything, so he would not believe everything that he heard. Hence, he would believe only half of the rumours that he learnt. Once he saw this assistant had given orders to the person taking care of Abbie, he asked his assistant again, “Do you think Abbie’s memory loss is real or fake?”
“It must be true. If it was fake, she would have already made a fuss to return back here, right?”
“Hmm, could it be that she only suffered from temporary memory loss, and she has already recovered right now?” Leonard asked again.
“Hmm, it couldn’t be, right?” The assistant wasn’t completely sure either.
“I just always feel that something is off because I think Abbie is on guard against me. I’m her saviour, and based on her personality, she should trust me completely because I saved her. Hence, she would only think about repaying me. Right now, I’m unhappy because she’s on guard against me, so I have my reasons to believe that she didn’t lose her memory completely. Also, I won’t believe in anything that I’m not sure of. Hence, there’s only one way so that I can trust Abbie completely.”
“What is it?”
After a moment of silence, Leonard said slowly, “We need her to make her lose her memory completely!”
