Bella smiled as she continued to open a gift from her mother. However, her smile faded when she opened the box.
Slowly, she felt her heart swell when she saw a gold bangle in the black jewelry box. She recognized the jewelry as her mother’s only possession before she married her father.
’Mom, why did you give this? This is the only jewelry left by your parents...’ Her eyes were blurry as she looked at the bangle, but she imdiately distracted her mind and opened Henry’s gift.
Bella also felt touched when she saw her brother give her a beautiful bag from a well-known brand. Even though the bag was not as expensive as her bag from Tristan, knowing her brother bought it now when he didn’t have much money touched her heart deeply.
"He is so stupid! Why spend money on ? He doesn’t even have money in his bank account..." Bella vented her frustration; She knew her brother only had a few thousand in his bank.
"Young madam, your brother’s attitude toward you seed different than when I saw him the last ti. He has changed a lot..." Noora also felt touched when she looked at Henry’s gift: a beautiful, ginger-colored cross-body bag.
"Maybe the divorce of our parents and how our mother battles her cancer in silence made him wake up from his arrogance and foolishness." Bella shook her head as she placed the bag and took the last gift from Dax — a small box like a phone box.
"What’s this, Aunty Noora? Did you help my son wrap this one?" Bella asked Noora.
"No, I didn’t, Young Madam. I think your husband did," Noora answered, also curious to know.
"Tristan?" Bella was taken aback. She opened the box and was surprised to see a barcode and Dax’s handwriting, "Scan !" inside.
Confused, Bella hurriedly grabbed her phone and scanned the barcode.
Instantly, a website appeared with video clips that made Bella cry. It featured pictures of her and Dax and a few video compilations of their life in Sweden. At the end of the video was a recent picture with Tristan present.
Her tears flowed more as she read the last credit of the video read:
"Happy Birthday, my pretty and kind Mommy. I created this website and video only for you. I wish you a delighted and blessed birthday. Love you so much—Your son Daxton Donovan Sinclair. Ps: Mom, I hope you like my present."
"What happened?" Noora was shocked when Bella suddenly cried, looking at her cell phone. "Please don’t make scared, Young Madam?" She rushed to see what Bella saw.
"Aunty Noora, Dax made a video for ," Bella said, giving her phone to Noora. While continuing to cry, she was overwheld with emotion, rembering their life in Sweden and the last picture there—Tristan included, with lovely poetic words by her son.
Bella feels so proud and happy because her four-year-old son created this video only for her.
For Bella, she didn’t need expensive things. Only receiving this kind of video already made her super happy.
"Young master, he’s such a sweetheart. How could he have planned to do this without us knowing?" Noora said between her tears.
"My son is so smart. This video is so good, it feels like watching a drama trailer..." Bella said proudly.
"You’re right, Ma’am. I thought Max created this," Noora looked at Bella. "Ma’am, I think it’s worth it that you allowed him to use your iPad early in his life. Now, he can make this pro video."
Bella smiled, looking at Noora. "He used the iPad for simple gas, not to learn how to make videos. I guess Stefan or Max must have taught him to create the website and this video."
"Yeah, he learns so fast," Noora nodded and agreed with Bella.
...
The surprise and happiness that Bella received on her birthday continued as all her friends gathered for dinner with her family.
Leo ca with Dana and surprised Bella with their wedding plans.
Sam also ca with Stefan, and Bella was surprised to learn how close Sam and Bryan had beco. They have beco close friends.
Bella was even happier to see Sean arrive with Harper. Having all her friends and half of her family there made Bella feel completely blissful.
After dinner, all her friends didn’t go ho but continued to spend the night.
Later, all the won sat near the fireplace while the n headed to Tristan’s playroom to play pool and continue drinking.
As Bella sat with only Harper and Dana, she noticed sothing shiny on Harper’s hand.
"Oh, my lord!" Bella’s eyes widened as she saw Harper. "Did he propose?" she asked.
Dana also looked at Harper’s hand and gasped in surprise, waiting for her reply.
Harper pressed her lips tighter, holding her smile as she heard Bella’s words.
"Harper Reed, spill it now," Bella pleaded with her gaze.
"Yes, Yes..." Harper said while trying to look around, checking that no one was around.
Harper felt too shy to tell them about Sean’s proposal to her last night after he brought her to et his Grandpa. She tells them everything.
"Oh dear Harper, I’m so happy for you. Congrats...congrats..." Bella said while standing from her seat and embracing her. "You will beco part of Astington now, Harper. I’m utterly happy..."
"Miss Harper, congratulations on your engagent," Dana joined Bella to congratulate her. "When are you guys planning to get married?" she asked.
"We will not wait long because we are both no longer young," Harper grinned. "We might have a party in the sumr next year."
"Oh, you better plan your wedding after I give birth to the twin..." Bella was surprised to hear that. "I want to co to your wedding, Harper," she said and returned to her seat.
"No worries. We have already considered your timing. But probably not too long after. So, I’m sorry, dear, if I don’t give you enough ti to get your sexy curves back," Harper said, feeling genuinely sorry.
"Hahaha, I don’t care how I look. I may still look like a dairy cow, but that won’t stop from attending your wedding."
"Hahaha! Thank you, girl!!"
"So, will your family co?"
"Of course, they all will co," Harper smiled happily. "They are the in-laws with the country’s president."
"Hahaha, your father must be proud of you."
"Yeah. As a matter of fact, he’s not just proud; he is shocked, too. Still can’t believe his daughter can marry a man from a well-respected family."
