Even Ophelia, as her mother-in-law, knew Silvia’s birthday. In the past, Silvia would always give Ophelia a gift every year on Ryan’s birthday because she said that a child’s birthday was the mother’s blessed day. Silvia would then prepare a large table of dishes for them to eat together. Ophelia naturally remembered Silvia’s birthday because Silvia was so thoughtful.As for her son, he never cared about Silvia at all. He’d always enjoyed everything that she prepared with peace of mind and always took it for granted, so he naturally would not remember it. Ophelia helped Ryan to calm the situation so that Autumn was no longer as angry as she was at the beginning. Ryan then hurriedly said, “I also prepared a gift for your mother. I simply didn’t guess that this is what you were talking about just now.”“Is it true?”Autumn doubted him.“Of course, it’s true.”Ryan carried Autumn up and put her back on the chair. He then got up to open his suitcase and took out the gifts that h
Autumn laughed. “Don’t worry, Papa. It’s easy to coax Mama. You should just apologize to her and say that you were wrong and will never make such a mistake again, and she won’t be angry anymore.”Ryan: “…”Apologize and say that he was wrong? He even had to promise that he would never make such a mistake again?He had never had this kind of pious attitude or shown weakness before her before. Moreover, based on their current situation, he did not think that she would forgive him even if he apologized to her. So, it was better for him to be fully prepared. He then asked his daughter again, “What if she’s still angry even after I apologize to her?” “You should sing her a song then.”Autumn lowered her head and continued checking out her gifts after sharing her so-called experience with Ryan.“There was one time when Mama wouldn’t forgive me even after I apologized to her, so I pestered her and sang to her until she laughed.”“Sing?”Ryan did not feel good at all.How could h
This was why she was now thinking of doing a good job and having a career of her own so that she would not be in a passive position as she was in the past if she were to get into another relationship in the future.She did not remember her birthday at all because she had been so busy.She had a rare good night’s sleep on Saturday morning.There was no shipment from the factory this week, so she did not need to go to the workshop to monitor the production. After being busy for almost a month, she also wanted to take a break so that she would have the strength to keep rising up to new challenges.During this time, because of her hard work, the director of the factory, Mr. Snow, had said that there would be a trade fair sometime in the future, and he wanted her to go along too. She would have the potential to obtain clients on her own at this trade fair. The fact that the director of the factory was asking her to go was also an affirmation of her work ability. Silvia really cherishe
What was with him bringing their daughter here to celebrate her birthday?Ryan, who was on the other end of the line, did not get a response from Silvia after he was done speaking, so he asked nervously, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”Ryan was afraid that Silvia would not answer his call, so he purposely called her using the hotel room phone. He even asked his daughter to speak to her first before he took over and talked. “I have nothing to say,” Silvia replied indifferently. “Thank you for sending Autumn here. Let me know the name of the hotel and the room number and I will ask her grandfather to pick her up later.”Ryan was so annoyed by her words that he did not say anything for a while.He was already a little hurt when she said that he had nothing to say to him and that she would pick their daughter up and leave him behind, but she was even asking her father to pick their daughter up?!Was she trying to avoid him completely?Did she hate him that much? And did she thi
“Mama, why don’t you just come over for a while? I even made you a birthday present myself.”“Oh, Mama… Mama, why don’t you just come here for a little while?” Autumn invited her very sincerely, making it impossible for Silvia to say no.This was especially since Autumn said that she had personally made a gift for her, so she could not ignore Autumn’s kind intentions. When she celebrated her birthday last year, Autumn didn't quite understand this and was still in a daze. But a year later, she’d learned to personally prepare a birthday gift for her. As a mother, Silvia was so happy that she almost shed tears. She believed that every parent would be this way. They have given so much for their children without any complaints or regrets, but just a little thought from their children would move the parents to tears. She then said, “You’ll have to wait for Mama for a while then. I will get up, wash up and go to find you.”“Okay!” Autumn responded happily. “I love you, Mama.”Silv
She felt frightened because Ryan did this kind of thing for her, said such warm words to her and looked at her with that kind of warmth in his eyes.She was so terrified that she could feel goosebumps all over her body.In the past five years, their marriage was not so cold and indifferent, but it was also very bland and there were really not many warm moments like this. In Silvia’s memory, he treated her warmly during the period after her miscarriage.During that time, Silvia broke down emotionally because she lost her baby. She said that it was her retribution, thinking that she should not have gotten him in this manner, and she had been so depressed that she needed to see a therapist.She even strongly demanded to divorce him as she felt that there was nothing between them without their child. He married her because of the child, after all, and her existence was meaningless without the child.She remembered that he hugged her and comforted her in a gentle voice, saying that
Ryan did not expect his apology to make her so angry, and he suddenly did not know what to do.He had never soothed anyone before, so he simply stood there looking at her, and he felt rather helpless. After Silvia was done speaking, she walked around him, intending to carry her daughter and leave this place.“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my daughter and leave first.”She did not care about his so-called birthday wishes, nor did she care about the so-called surprise he prepared for her.Anyway, he never celebrated her birthday for so many years in the past and he did not remember her birthday either. She did not need it now either.Ryan was not willing to let her go so he quickly raised his hand to stop her. “Should I sing you a song?”Although he still did not know how to sing the song ‘Flying Fireflies’ that his daughter mentioned, he could still hum a few lines of it.He had no choice but to bite the bullet when he saw that she was angry and about to leave.Silvia w
Silvia did not need to hesitate to answer this question.“Yes, you can.”“Why?”Autumn went into her question mode again.“Why can I spend my birthday with you, but you can’t spend your birthday with Papa?”Silvia was frustrated. So, she got up, carried her daughter, and went to the roadside to hail a taxi.But she also answered her daughter carefully, “Because you are Papa and Mama’s child and you’re related to your parents by blood, so your Papa and Mama will naturally accompany you on your birthday.”Autumn seemed to vaguely understand what her mother meant. “I’ll celebrate my birthday tomorrow then, because I want to be with Mama and Papa.”Children were naive and thought that birthdays could be celebrated on any day. But sometimes their naivety was also a stab at the hearts of adults. For example, at this time, Silvia’s heart hurt greatly because of her daughter’s words, and it hurt so much that she did not even have the strength to hold her daughter anymore. She d
