Chapter 1057 An Invitation From The Royal Family
Natalie patted Yumi on the head and said with a chuckle, “Well, I’m here now! Is there something you wanted to tell me?”
Yumi nodded profusely and stared at her with her large, watery eyes. “Mommy, I think I only told you my birthday once, so you probably don’t remember it. After all, unlike Sophia and the others, I’m just an adopted child. But then, I received your birthday card and bunny music box today!
I waited for you because I wanted to thank you in person for it. Thank you, Mommy. Thanks for adopting me from the orphanage, for remembering my birthday, for getting me a gift, and for providing me with such a complete family!”
Yumi had been worried that she wouldn’t be able to fit in when she first joined this family, but her siblings loved her like their own even though they weren’t connected by blood.
They never treated her like an outsider, so she was truly glad to have met Natalie.
Unsure of what else she could say, Yumi hugged Natalie shyly and buried her face in Natalie’s chest.
“I really like you, Mommy!”
Natalie’s heart was filled with warmth when she felt Yumi hugging her tightly.
“Me too, Yumi!” Natalie glanced at the clock in the living room and flashed her a smile. “The clock hasn’t struck twelve, so your birthday isn’t over just yet. Happy birthday, Yumi!”
Yumi felt so happy that she could barely contain her excitement.
She didn’t want to cry, but the emotions were so overwhelming that her tears just started rolling down her cheeks.
“Mommy!” she sobbed uncontrollably.
Natalie gave her a gentle pat on the back and whispered, “You need to look pretty on your birthday, Yumi. Stop crying, okay? Your daddy is unable to celebrate your birthday with you due to some special reasons, but you have to believe that he likes you a lot too and misses you deeply.”
Yumi nodded while wiping the tears off her reddened eyes.
“It’s really late now. How about I carry you to your bedroom upstairs?”
