Chapter 796
"Happy birthday to you; happy birthday to you; happy birthday, dear mommy; happy birthday to you."
Juniper stood in the middle with a heart-shaped cake in her hands. Joaquin and Jameson stood beside her, and the trio entered the room.
In the darkness, the feeble light from the lone candle on the cake seemed exceptionally dazzling and warm.
Selena almost forgot about her birthday.
Jameson went up and put a party hat on her head. "Mommy, we made this birthday hat for you in our art class. I specially picked the crown design for you!"
"Mommy, we baked this cake with the help of the ladies in the kitchen. Look, isn't it pretty?"
There were six figurines on the cake: two adults, three children, and a little baby. Although the decorations were crude, they were quite lifelike.
"Thank you! Thank you, my darlings."
"Mommy, quick-make a wish and blow out the candle!"
Selena put her palms together and closed her eyes to make a wish with a serious expression.
The four of them blew the candle out and savored the cake, after which they even smeared the buttercream on each other's faces. Not long after, their faces were full of the colorful buttercream, and Selena found herself playing around with the three children.
This was probably the happiest day for them ever since Pierre's death.
Once the children left, Selena was back to being alone in the room with a bitter smile on her face. The sadness will leave with time, and happiness shall return one day.
Pierre, would you be angry if we move on? Don't worry. We will never forget you.
The door was opened once again. Joaquin slid in, and Selena flashed a smile at him.
He walked up to the bed and showed her an exquisite gift box that he had hidden behind him.
"Jojo, is this your birthday gift for me?"
"It was from Daddy."This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Selena was taken aback. "This was Daddy's gift for me?"
"There is no card for you today-only a gift." Joaquin handed the box to her carefully, and she gingerly accepted it.
It turns out that Pierre prepared a birthday gift for me!
"Mommy, happy birthday, and goodnight." He stood on tiptoe to give her a quick peck on the cheek before running out shyly.
In the room, she cautiously opened the gift box to find a diamond ring resting in the satin background.
It was no ordinary diamond ring. The jewel was a rare and expensive red diamond.
She recalled the time Pierre
proposed to her with a pink diamond
ring. The pink diamond was
expensive and huge. Later, they found out that the ring was too large for her finger, and she regrettably stored the ring away.
She remembered that they had fought over the pink diamond ring before, and she was surprised to receive another diamond ring for her birthday. She removed the ring from the box and slid it onto her ring finger.
This time, it fitted her perfectly.
Rel
There was a tiny card in the gift box. It read, 'Dear Şelena, I wonder if I could come home safely to celebrate your birthday with you. I left the diamond ring with Jojo so that in the event I fail to return, he could give it to you. This is not an ordinary ring-it is a specially designed self-defense weapon for you. The instructions are written behind this card. I miss you so
much. It's my honor to have you as
my wife in this life. I love you.'
She turned the card over and immediately saw his illustrated instructions on how to use the weapon.
There was a trigger in the ring. Once activated, a sharp blade would spring out from the ring mounting. The blade was so sharp that it could cut through steel, and it was the perfect weapon for self-defense.
Looking at the ring on her finger and the writings on the card, she started crying uncontrollably again.
As long as she was wearing the ring, she could sense that she was protected by Pierre.
Pierre, I will recover and stand strong. I won't allow anyone to hurt me or our children!
