“I knew that,” Ethan scratched his head. “Mr. Benjamin spoils Emma too much.”
Benjamin leaned back in his chair and said nothing. Only he knew the depth of his love for Emmeline.
“Well, I’ll thank Mr. Benjamin on behalf of the whole family,” Ethan bowed.
“Don’t mention it,” Benjamin said. “Just go to the Struyria Banquet. I have VIP access over there.”
“The Struyria Banquet?” Ethan was surprised. “Mr. Benjamin, isn’t that too high-end? It’s just a kid’s birthday.”
“It’s settled,” Benjamin said. “I’ll talk to their manager.”
“Well, then it’s up to Mr. Benjamin,” Ethan said. “Oh, and I promised Ms. Eastwood a spot too.”
Benjamin looked over at Janie.
“Hi there,” Janie waved playfully at Benjamin from behind Ethan. “I have a birthday present too.”
“Okay,” Benjamin nodded with a stern expression.
Ethan happily ran back to his office. He had to quickly report this good news to his wife. Adelmar’s Mr. Benjamin was going to help them celebrate their son’s birthday.
Before Ethan could make the call, his phone rang.
He looked down and saw that it was his sister, Emmeline.
“Emma!” Ethan exclaimed with joy. “Congratulations on my three nephews finding their biological father.”
“You’ve said that three times already,” Emmeline chuckled. “Hey, why don’t we celebrate together on my nephew’s birthday?”
“Sounds great!” Ethan replied. “And guess what? Mr. Benjamin has secured us a spot at the Struyria Banquet.”
“Benjamin is going too?” Emmeline was surprised. She couldn’t believe that Benjamin knew about her nephew’s birthday.
Emmeline knew that Benjamin had arranged everything for her sake. He was always so thoughtful.
“That’s right,” Ethan said. “And don’t forget Janie, our secretary, helped arrange everything too.”
“Perfect,” Emmeline replied. “It’ll be great to have everyone together.”
“My brother-in-law and the kids have to come too,” Ethan said, grinning. “Who would have thought Abel would become my brother-in-law?”
“I’ve already talked to Abel,” Emmeline said. “He plans to book a private room at the Nimbus Hotel, but never mind, we’ll just follow Mr. Benjamin’s plan.”
“Sounds good to me,” Ethan said, feeling pleased.
