Carl was caught off guard, being taunted with romance to his face, and reminded of his singleness, forcing him to grumble, "I can't go on these days! Why is no one sending me gifts? We single people, do we have no human rights?"
Victoria suddenly remembered something and looked at Jack beside her, "By the way, your birthday is coming soon."
Jack raised his eyebrows in surprise and said lazily, "It's surprising that you still remember my birthday."
Carl, curious about the gossip, stopped crying and turned his head to look at Victoria.
Victoria's cheeks turned slightly red, "...Of course I remember!"
When she was a child, she used to celebrate his birthday every year, and she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to!
Carl immediately asked gossipingly, her eyes shining like a thousand-watt light bulb, "So, Victoria, how do you plan to celebrate your husband's birthday this year?"
Victoria's earlobes warmed, and she glared at Carl, "None of your business."
In the afternoon, Grandpa came to visit the younger generations.
John Moore leaned on his cane, and as soon as he saw Victoria, he laughed brightly, "Victoria, I made the time to come to see you today, and by the way, Jack too!"
Jack, who was mentioned in passing, remained silent.
Carl ran out of the kitchen and said, "Grandpa, I'm here!"
The old man joyfully said, "Good, good, you're all here!"
The old man stayed at Pinecroft for dinner with the three younger generation.
The dining table was filled with joy and harmony.
While eating the food his grandfather made, Carl sighed, "This is home. A place like the Montgomery family is not a place for people to stay. Victoria escaped the fire pit early."
Accompanied by several bolts of lightning, thunder rumbled down.
Torrential rain poured down.
Carl looked at the heavy rain outside and suggested, "Grandpa, stay at Pinecroft tonight, don't go back to the old house. I'll stay too!"
Light rain was fine, but with thunder and heavy rain, it wasn't safe for the driver to drive.
The man let out a low laugh, his eyes full of indulgence, lifted his legs, walked over, lowered his eyes to look at her, and said in a lazy and lazy voice, "Little Victoria, are you not pretending to be asleep this time?"
Victoria was caught off guard...
She insisted, "I didn't pretend to sleep last time! I just wanted to ask you, what birthday gift do you want this year?"
Jack narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her silently.
Victoria slowly shrank back under the blanket, leaving only her head outside, and her two little hands pawing at the edge of the blanket, her wet eyes looking at him,
"What I mean is, tell me what gift you want. This way, I can prepare in advance, so I won't make a mistake and give you something you don't like."
The man seemed to think about it seriously, "What do I want?"
Victoria nodded, "What do you want? Just say it, I'll satisfy you!"
As soon as the words fell, a shadow loomed in front of her eyes.
The man bent down, and his slightly cool lips kissed her...
