“Sure…” Xyla Quest agreed decisively.
“What about me?” Josh Batton asked gently.
“Everyone gets something,” Xyla said.
Josh smiled a little. He didn’t say anything further…
Stanley Batton also smiled slightly.
“Josh, Stan and Xyla got Dad a watch, and I got Dad a necktie. What did you get him?” Catherine Batton looked at Josh and asked.
Josh slowly retrieved a dark red ring box from his pocket and handed it over to Wilson Batton. “I personally designed this jade ring for you, but I didn’t make it myself… It can’t be compared to Xyla’s gift…”
When Wilson heard this, he immediately opened the box and looked at the content…
There was a simple white, thick, jade ring inside. It had carvings of a dragon on it. Yet, amidst the low-key design were hints of luxury.
Wilson liked it a lot…
“Hmm, not bad…” Wilson said.
“I’m glad you like it… I’ve prepared a piano piece. I’ll play it for you later,” Josh added.
“Oh, sure…” Wilson had a look of approval in his eyes.
“I think a piano piece isn’t enough, is it? I think you need a singer… I’ll sing…” Catherine said.
“Do you even know what I’m playing?” Josh asked.
“Sigh. Just play the birthday song…” Catherine said.
“Fine… As you wish.” Josh’s eyes were filled with affection. After he finished speaking, he gently ruffled Catherine’s hair.
Right then, a few of Josh’s young female fans quickly surrounded him—
“Josh, can we take a picture together?”
“I want a picture too… I want your autograph too…”
