Chapter 258 Happy Birthday

After receiving Aylin’s signal, Harry snorted disdainfully. He turned around and held Abby’s hand. “Listen to Ayl. Let’s go.”

Gavyn’s oppressive aura was so strong that it could send a chill down one’s spine. Ordinary people would be terrified by his expression.

Harry, on the other hand, was far from ordinary. He affectionately wrapped his arm around Aylin’s shoulder and walked past Gavyn.

Aylin didn’t spare a glance for Gavyn either.

The three of them went upstairs together, leaving Gavyn standing in place. His gaze was fixed on them, and he felt very annoyed.

Abby turned around curiously and noticed Gavyn was still looking in their direction. His gaze was so complicated that the young Abby couldn’t comprehend them. She was curious to know who this man really was.

She noticed Aylin didn’t seem pleased since this man came in.

Why was that?

Aylin followed Harry into the private room. As soon as the door opened, a sudden boom rang out. Colorful ribbons and paper fireworks filled the air, leaving behind a vibrant display of colors.

Aylin couldn’t open her eyes. She removed the confetti blocking her view, and Harry’s handsome face suddenly appeared before her. He said with a smile, “Happy birthday!”

Aylin was stunned.

“This is…”

“Are you surprised?” Harry’s low yet cheerful voice sounded in her ears.

“Happy birthday, Ayl.”

Only then did Aylin snap to her senses.

She had been so busy with work lately that she had forgotten it was her birthday today.

Robert popped the confetti all over and shouted loudly. “What do you think? Isn’t the decoration here amazing? I specially decorated it for you!”

“How shameless.”

Harry narrowed his eyes and glanced at Robert. “I’ve planned everything with, you. How can you take all the credit yourself? Be careful, or I’ll beat you up!”

Pink balloons and sparkling long ribbons filled the spacious private room. The sofa, tables, and chairs were covered with girlish striped fabric, creating a colorful and dazzling sight.

Harry and Robert were smiling happily.

Aylin was surprised and delighted. She was smiling when she suddenly realized something.

“Robert, did you suddenly leave the company entrance earlier to come and decorate the room in advance?”

Robert made a “correct” gesture with his hand. “Bingo!”

“And Harry, you come back to celebrate my birthday too?”

Harry nodded.

They remembered something she had even forgotten herself.

Aylin’s eyes welled up with tears. She was so moved that she fell speechless.

Robert took a beautifully wrapped gift box from the table and handed it to her mysteriously. “Here, open it. It’s a birthday gift I got for you. You’ll absolutely love it!”

Aylin smiled and unwrapped it, revealing a high-end diamond necklace inside. It was a large 12-carat blue diamond complemented by emeralds. It looked magnificent and gorgeous.

“I spent a long time choosing this. The others either had too small diamonds or were too tacky. I picked this one because the refreshing color scheme perfectly complements your aura, Aylin.” Robert smiled and said, “I wish you endless joy and beauty. You are forever eighteen in my heart!”

“You surely know how to sweet-talk.”

Harry snorted and took out the gift he had prepared. However, there were two gifts. “This one is from me, and Willie asked me to bring this back for you.”

Of course, both gifts were of significant value.

Harry gave her a luxury Italian brand black fountain pen, while Willie gave her an exquisite hand-made pocket watch. The craftsmanship was meticulous, and it was clearly an expensive item.

Harry hugged Aylin and handed her the gifts. “Ayl, I wish you peace, joy, and success in all your future endeavors.”

Aylin began to tear up.

“Thank you, Robert and Harry. Thank Willie for me too. I love all your gifts.”

“Aylin…”

Abby had already received the instructions. She tugged at the hem of Aylin’s clothes and said in a clear voice, “I also prepared a gift for you.”

Aylin snapped back to her senses and smiled, “Oh, Abby also has a gift. What is it?”

Abby took a painting from her small schoolbag and carefully handed it to Aylin.

She raised her head, her eyes sparkling. “Happy birthday, Aylin. I wish you all the best!”

Aylin took it and saw her portrait on it.

The girl in the drawing wore a plain-colored dress, and her black hair cascaded down her oval face. Her eyebrows and apricot eyes looked pure and beautiful.

Abby drew a two-dimensional portrait. Although her drawing skills were immature, and the lines looked slightly messy, it was a remarkable effort for an elementary school child.

Robert chuckled. “Not bad. This little one has captured your essence quite well.”

Abby blushed when she heard Robert praising her. “Aylin, you’re too beautiful. I only managed to capture a little bit of your beauty in my drawing.”

“No, you did a very good job.”

Aylin really felt herself tearing up this time. Despite facing difficulties, she had never cried before this, but now her eyes were red.

The feeling of being surrounded by family was truly amazing.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

It was like having a sheltered harbor that supported her no matter what.

It gave her the confidence to face all challenges and hardships!

“Oh, why are you crying now?”

Although Robert wanted to tease Aylin, he couldn’t bear to do so.

He smiled dotingly and stroked Aylin’s head. “Not only us but someone else also prepared a gift for you!”

Harry clapped his hands, and the door opened. A person in a chef’s uniform entered, holding a tray of exquisite and sumptuous dishes.

Joe smiled sincerely. “Ms. Koch, I don’t know anything else other than cooking. I don’t know how to say nice things, so I express my sentiments. through the dishes.”

Joe brought them the signature dishes of Deli Restaurant such as bacon rolls, Caesar Salad, and smoked salmon.

He wanted to serve them all the signature dishes!

The group gathered around Aylin and placed a birthday crown on her before exclaiming in unison, “Happy Birthday!”

In contrast to the joy and happiness in Aylin’s private room, Gavyn’s side was silent.

It wasn’t until Aylin’s figure disappeared that Gavyn withdrew his gaze.

His eyes turned dark.

Haleigh was dissatisfied. She couldn’t bear to see Aylin walking side by side with Harry.

He was the best actor she admired the most!

How could Aylin be so close to him?

“This bitch is always unloyal. She changes her boyfriends like she changes her underwear. She’s terrible!”

Haleigh could only curse and vent her frustration to herself. Then, she looked at Gavyn again. Still intimidated by his cold expression, she murmured softly, “Gavin, why didn’t you help me and Jacq? You let that bitch have her way…”

“Enough!”

Gavyn’s cold voice suddenly rang out in the air.

Haleigh was stunned. She looked at Gavyn in disbelief, and her eyes were full of anger.

Feeling aggrieved and resentful, she kept panting.

Gavyn frowned, his gaze cold and solemn. “How dare you insult me? You don’t respect me as an elder at all!”

“But she insulted me!”

“You deserved it. Do you think I didn’t notice that you provoked her first?”

He didn’t even need to look to know Haleigh had initiated the conflict.

Haleigh got hit by the nail on the head, but she still mumbled unwillingly, “But I’m your mother. You’re always mean to me. How can a son pick on his mother? You’re always protecting her…”

“If you’re wrong, then you’re wrong. Nothing can change the fact.”

After their divorce, it finally dawned on him how excessively his mother had treated Aylin during those three years.

Feeling guilty, Gavyn couldn’t bear to listen to Haleigh’s complaint. Objectively speaking, even though Haleigh was his mother, Gavyn couldn’t turn a blind eye to what was right and wrong.

Haleigh was furious.

“You were never like this before. How can you defend Aylin?”

Gavyn impatiently rubbed his temples with his knuckles, and his face became gloomier and gloomier. “She’s not wrong. Of course, I’ll defend her!
