Rebecca Quentin’s eyes were glistening with tears, her voice choked, "Be good, Aunt Clare will miss you too."
Christine Quinn sighed softly, "Becca, it’s getting late, we should go too..."
"Hmm, sis, take care."
"You too, don’t forget to take care of yourself while looking after Andrew."
"Aunt, you must call Marie often."
Rebecca Quentin smiled gently, "I know, I won’t forget you, my little sweetheart."
Christine Quinn also laughed, her arm around her daughter, "Let’s go, little sweetheart, we should get in the car..."
Rebecca Quentin couldn’t wave, she had to watch them get into the carriage.
After Christine Quinn and Marilyn Quinn sat in the car, Skyler Jones came to Rebecca Quentin.
As if he had a lot to say to Rebecca Quentin but didn’t know how to start, Skyler Jones gazed deeply at her beautiful face, low and hoarse, he said, "Becca, take care of yourself, I’ll come over whenever I have time."
Rebecca Quentin shook her head, "I don’t need you to come, please make sure to take good care of my sister and Marie, don’t let me be disappointed in you."
"I’ll sort out my affairs, but still, the same thing, I only like you."
"Stop saying it... take care."
"Becca, it’s been a long time, I bought you a gift, the gift is already on the bedside table in your room, I hope you like it."
Rebecca Quentin said politely, "Thank you, no need next time."
"Goodbye," Skyler Jones turned.
Rebecca Quentin watched the car drive off into the night, then returned to her room.
They had just left, yet the house already felt empty and cold.
Returning to the room, Rebecca Quentin gently placed Andrew in the crib, then quietly watched his sweet, sleeping face.
Suddenly, she remembered Skyler Jones’ words and turned her gaze to the bedside table.
It was a finely wrapped gift...
Rebecca Quentin walked over and, after hesitating for a few seconds, she opened the gift.
Inside the pink box was a high-end, beautiful music box.
Attached to the music box was a piece of paper with Skyler Jones’ handsome handwriting—
Becca, happy birthday!
Rebecca Quentin opened the music box, and the melodious music began to play...
Yes, tomorrow is her birthday, she almost forgot...
Unexpectedly, she had never told Skyler Jones about her birthday, but he still knew.
And, how did he know she liked music boxes?
Having spent half a year with Christine Quinn and Marilyn Quinn, suddenly parting ways with them made Rebecca Quentin feel quite uncomfortable. Googlᴇ search n0velfire.net
The house originally had Christine Quinn’s caring words and Marilyn Quinn’s joyful laughter, often making her feel warm, but as they left, she felt a long-lost loneliness and coldness.
Today is her birthday, if she had her sister and Marie with her, it would have been a beautiful day, but now it’s just her.
Actually, she’s been spending her birthday alone for the past few years, she’s used to it, but in the past she always got a few calls from people who cared, like Aunt Clare, like Isabella Joanna...
However, this year, she probably won’t receive calls from them because they’re all immersed in the beauty of love now.
Two months ago, during a call with Aunt Clare, she inadvertently heard a middle-aged man’s voice beside her, later she found out, this middle-aged man was Aunt Clare’s first love who had been silently waiting for her for years, Aunt Clare had returned to the countryside and was with him now.
Upon hearing such news, she was naturally happy, after all, Aunt Clare had already sacrificed too much for the Quentin family in the first half of her life, it was time for Aunt Clare to seek her happiness, so even when Aunt Clare kept saying she would come to take care of her during childbirth, she never let Aunt Clare come, not wanting to disrupt her peace and happiness.
Thus, telling Christine Quinn yesterday that Aunt Clare would come to take care of her was actually a lie to Christine Quinn, she just didn’t want Christine Quinn to worry...
Christine Quinn finally made the decision to leave with Skyler Jones, she hopes Christine Quinn and Skyler Jones can have a chance to be together again, she knows there might be a lot of friction between them, but as time passes, she believes they can understand each other again, maybe even start anew.
Aunt Clare has found support, things have begun to smooth out between Christine Quinn and Skyler Jones, and Isabella Joanna has Roger Leonard...
