Blowing out the candles, his thin lips parted softly. “I wish-”
He was about to go on when she suddenly raised her hand to his lips. “Don’t say it. It won’t come true if you say it out loud.”
He gently put down her hand. “But didn’t you say you’ll make whatever wish of mine come true as long as you can do it? If I don’t say it out loud, how are you going to make my wishes come true?”
“Those are wishes. I can grant you three wishes, but your birthday wishes should be… things God can help you to achieve. For example, growing your business or living a long life,” she said.
However, he said, “Both my wishes and birthday wishes are all related to you.”
As he spoke, he looked down and gently pried open her forefinger and made a ‘1’ gesture while holding her hand. “My first wish is for you to celebrate my birthday with me every year until I die.”
She was stunned.
Then, he stretched out her middle finger and made a ‘2’ gesture. “My second wish is for you to never leave me.”
He was silent after saying that. He kept looking at her hand but did not say out the third wish.
“What’s your third wish?” Grace could not help asking.
“I won’t tell you my third wish for now, I’ll tell you when I really need to. However, if I do tell you the third wish, are you sure you’ll do it if you can?” he murmured.
He looked up and gazed at her. “Then it’s settled. You’ll do it when the time comes.”
“What is it that’s so mysterious?” She was curious.
He smiled and said nothing, but there was a hint of sadness hiding in the depths of his eyes.
He only hoped he would never need to use the third wish- which was if she found out the truth one day, then he hoped she would forgive him!
Forgive him for his indifference and inaction.
How many times had he wished he could go back in time, back to before her accident so he could protect her from any harm.
“Alright, you can keep it to yourself. By the way, look at the birthday present I got for you!” Grace said as she took out the present she prepared and gave it to Jason.
They were two simple T-shirts with cartoons depicting a man. and a woman. The woman’s belly was obviously bulging and she was a pregnant woman. The expressions of the man and the woman well captured the features of the characters.
Although there were only a few simple strokes, the little cartoons were very similar to Jason and Grace.
“I drew this. Do they look like us? One is for you and one is for me. It’s our matching family outfits. I’ll draw the kids after they’re born and print them on T-shirts,” she said cheerfully.
“I didn’t expect you to be good at drawing cartoons,” he said approvingly.
“I liked to draw cartoons when I was at school. I also made comics, but I haven’t drawn for a long time since then and got a little rusty. I secretly practiced it for a while. Luckily, the drawings look good on T-shirts,” she said.
His gaze fell on her hands when he heard that. Due to her hands, she now wrote slower than the average person. Besides, there was already a clear difference from her previous beautiful handwriting, not to mention when she was drawing.
The practice must not have been as easy as she made it out to be for her to draw like this. The effort she had to put in to do this was far more than ordinary people.
“It’s not worth much, but I want it to be a souvenir. It’ll be a wonderful memory to wear it when we’re older.”
“It’s already a wonderful memory for me now,” he muttered as he bent over to kiss her tenderly. “Thank you, Grace!”
He owed all his happiness and wonderful memories to her presence.
She was the only person in the world who could give him these!
In a small hotel room, Paisley Daniels looked with some distaste at her ex-boyfriend who was smiling at her.
She wondered why she had such bad taste and chose him to be her boyfriend back then. He could hardly compare to Martin. Fortunately, she had sobered up in time and dumped him.
As if he had seen the disgust in her eyes, Shane Currey reminded her, “Hey, Paisley. You shouldn’t think that you suffered when you were dating me back then. Let me tell you the truth. We’re exactly the same kind of people, so you aren’t any better.
“You were the one who took credit for Kyla Corbyn’s bone marrow donation. You even begged me to file false records!
“If it weren’t for me, how would you have gotten together with
Martin Weiss? You’re fortunate enough that Martin Weiss doesn’t hate you. You outright refused to donate your bone marrow back then.
“Tell me, aren’t you supposed to thank me for helping you get together with Martin Weiss?”
What Shane Currey said made Paisley Daniels restrain the disgust in her eyes.
After all, there was no need to mess with the person in front of her at such a time.
“Here… The 50 million you asked for is all on this card. The pa**code is…” Paisley Daniels took out a bank card and handed it to him as she said the pa**code.
Shane Currey took the bank card. “Tsk tsk. Just like what I’ve said. You’ve been with Martin Weiss for so many years. The Daniels family must’ve received lots of benefits, so you should have the money.”
Paisley Daniels said with a cold face, “You already have the money. If you still say what you shouldn’t say, everyone will suffer.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Shane Currey smiled. Then, he took a bottle of wine and said, “Here. How about a drink to celebrate? You’re about to marry into the Weiss family and become the Weiss family’s mistress while Kyla Corbyn will probably die soon!”
Paisley Daniels was unhappy at first, but her mood was lifted by the news that Kyla Corbyn was going to die soon.
Therefore, she took the gla** that was filled with red wine from Shane Currey and drank it.
Paisley Daniels drank down one mouthful after another, not noticing that Shane Currey was looking at her with lust in his eyes!
On Sunday, after Kyla Corbyn dressed her son, she took her pills out of their original bottles and put them in a pill container so it was easier to carry around.
When everything was ready, she took Nelson by the hand and said, “Alright, let’s go down and wait for Daddy. Your daddy should be here in a minute.”
Looking at the clock, it was almost time for her outing with Martin Weiss today.
Nelson was clearly happy and even brought along his new toy, a wooden spinning top. He said he wanted to show it to his father,
Looking at her happy son, a smile appeared on the corners of Kyla Corbyn’s smile. She felt that all her sacrifices were worth
However… it was probably her greatest regret that she could not see him grow up.
When they got downstairs, Martin Weiss’s car was already there and Martin Weiss was leaning against the side of the car. He was seemingly lost in thought.
“Daddy!” Nelson immediately shouted when he saw Martin Weiss from a distance.
Martin Weiss looked up and saw Kyla Corbyn wearing a light blue wool dress and a pair of white sneakers. She had some light makeup on her face and carried a navy blue canvas bag on her back. She looked different from how she looked when she was running the food stall.
She looked somewhat like the woman she had been before going to prison, pretty and vivacious.
While Martin Weiss was in a trance, the big and small figures had approached him.
“Good morning, Daddy,” Nelson said politely.
“Good morning…” replied Martin Weiss. Then, he said, “Hurry up and get in the car, or it’ll be too late when we get to the amusement park.”
With that, he quickly opened the car door as if to cover up his moment of absentmindedness earlier.
Nelson got into the back seat first. Just as Kyla Corbyn was about to get into the car, Martin Weiss suddenly grabbed her arm and said in a voice that only both of them could hear, “I don’t care what your purpose is today, but you’d better not do anything you shouldn’t do. The Weiss family’s mistress can only be Paisley!”
Kyla Corbyn replied lightly, “I know.””
Her reaction made him feel powerless. It was as if he had thrown a defensive punch but it ended up hitting a ball of cotton instead.
“Mr. Weiss, can you let go? Nelson will be worried,” said Kyla Corbyn.
Sure enough, Nelson’s voice sounded from the car. “Mommy?”
