Emily's birthday was coming soon. Joyce was going to give her a birthday party. However, she refused, and said with a smile that he would give her a day off so that she could go out and relax.
Joyce immediately smiled and said, "Oh, I'm going to spend time with Mr. Brent."
Emily nodded with a smile, "It's just the two of us. We don't want to do anything. We just want to be together."
"But I thought that if you married into a rich family and became a rich wife, at least one birthday party would cause a storm in Lancaster. I didn't expect it to be so simple, and you would be willing." Joyce said.
Emily shook his head and said, "Franklin said the same thing. It was supposed to be a big celebration. But I don't want to. I'm just living my life in peace. If this is really a celebration, the whole of Lancaster will know who I am. Do you think I can still work in this flower shop?"
Joyce was right to think that the flower shop would not be crowded by then.
"So it's good for the two of us to live a simple life," she said with a smile.
Just as he was speaking, Jason's car came over.
Emily didn't say anything to Joyce, but waved her hand and left.
