Chapter 828:
I sat in my chair, trying to focus on my work, but I kept getting distracted…
In the evening, I left work early to pick up Lucas from school.
“Mommy, why do you have time to pick me up today?”
Lucas held my hand, his face beaming with happiness.
Looking down at him, I smiled and said, “I missed you so much today, so I came to pick you up.”
“Then, Mommy, can you pick me up from school every day?”
Lucas blinked his big eyes and asked.
I felt a little embarrassed and replied, “Well… I promise that as long as I’m free, I’ll come pick you up from school, okay?”
“Okay!” Lucas nodded happily.
Then, Lucas suddenly said, “Mommy, let’s go home and eat some cake, shall we?”
“Do you want cake? Alright, I’ll go to the bakery across the street and buy some for you,” I said with a smile.
At that moment, Lucas shook his head and said, “You don’t need to buy it. Daddy bought a big birthday cake last night.”
Hearing this, I stopped and asked in confusion, “A birthday cake? Whose birthday is it?”
“Herbert bought a birthday cake? Whose birthday was it? Lucas’s birthday is in winter, Lucky’s birthday party is in spring, and my birthday is in summer. It’s late autumn now. Was it Gary or Miranda’s birthday?”
“Mommy, don’t you know? It was Daddy’s birthday yesterday!”
Lucas scratched his head, looking puzzled.
I was stunned. I really didn’t know when his birthday was. We had never celebrated each other’s birthdays.
“Mommy, last night, Daddy and I waited for you. But Lucky and I fell asleep while waiting, so we didn’t get to eat the birthday cake. Daddy said we could only cut the cake when you came back!”
I looked down at the grievance written all over Lucas’s face and touched his little cheek. My emotions were tangled.
“He was waiting for me at home last night? Waiting for me to celebrate his birthday?”
The thought made me feel a little sad.
I hadn’t known it was his birthday yesterday. Maybe we hadn’t communicated much, or maybe I wasn’t considerate enough.
But so what if I had been more considerate? So what if we had communicated? There was already another woman between us.
We were destined to never be together again.
“Mommy, do you want to make up for Daddy’s birthday present?”
Lucas suddenly looked up at me and asked.
Hearing this, my heart was a mess. I replied, “His birthday is already over. I’ll buy him a gift next year.”
After that, I took Lucas back home.
As we neared the entrance of the villa, I saw a Bentley parked in front of the house slowly start up and drive off.
