NovelOnlineDudley couldn’t be bothered with those people, so he simply told Judy, who was standing nearby, to
deliver the prepared gifts to Old Mr. Sue. Then, with a smile, he said, “Leon, I wish you a long and
happy life. May your life be colorful and your dreams take flight.”
“You are always welcome at the Shepards’ from now on. You are welcome to come whenever and as
often as you like.”
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard that.
This wasn’t just going to a birthday banquet, was it?
What Dudley said implied that he regarded Old Mr. Sue as a brother.
Success was just around the corner for the Sue family if things kept going the way they were.
Leon immediately expressed his gratitude and said, “I am grateful you thought so highly of me. From
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnow on, I’ll certainly come to your house if I need advice. I hope you won’t consider me a bother at that
time.”
“What kind of nonsense are you on about? I’d be overjoyed if you came!” Dudley added with a happy
face.
Waylon, Blanc, and the others then asked their juniors to present birthday gifts, and their speeches
echoed Dudley’s.
When Skylar delivered the gift he had prepared, Leonard York’s manuscript, to Old Mr. Sue, he was so
taken with it that he couldn’t put it down. He gave Skylar a heartfelt look of admiration that nearly
overflowed.
Following the jubilant gift-giving event, Old Mr. Sue personally invited everyone to the tables.
Skylar’s family naturally accompanied Old Mr. Sue, Dudley, Waylon, Blanc, and others to the main
table.
Even Madam Sue could only be assigned to sit at the table next to them.
Taking advantage of the time when the elders were exchanging toasts, Yulia couldn’t help but lean into
Skylar’s ear, and whisper, “Skylar, what other identities do you possess? Why does everyone seem to
be afraid of you?”
Skylar gave her an enigmatic look and winked, saying, “A book is only interesting if you read it slowly.”
When Yulia noticed that he was keeping her guessing, she became irritated, saying, “Hmph, forget
about it! I won’t ever treat you like a book or take my time reading it!” Yulia couldn’t help but pout as
she said this.
Lola, sitting next to her, exclaimed, “Mommy, are you asking for a kiss from Daddy? I’d like one, too!”
Uh…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone at the main table heard Lola’s words.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Skylar and Yulia.
Yulia and Skylar had been whispering with their heads down, but now both had their mouths pouted. In
the eyes of the onlookers, they appeared to want to kiss each other, as Lola stated.
Yulia’s pretty face flushed, but she quickly returned to reality and sat straight, glaring angrily at Lola.
Her daughter was always running her mouth. Previously, she did it at home, but now, she just blurted
out words whenever and wherever!
“Lola, believe me when I say I wasn’t asking for a kiss from Daddy. I was just speaking with him!”
Yulia’s face was flushed, but she maintained a serious expression while assuring Lola.
“But I did see just now that you pouted, waiting for Dad to kiss!” Lola said innocently, frowning.
Yulia was on the verge of cracking up. She would have dragged Lola out and beaten her on the spot if
there weren’t so many people watching.
Finally, Old Mr. Sue couldn’t help himself and said, “Yulia, Grandpa knows that you are young and is
deeply in love with Skylar, so there will undoubtedly be times when you get excited…”
“However, you’re still sitting at the table, and there are many elders…”
