Chapter 298 Wesley’s 40th Birthday
The night sky was dark like ink.
There were many stars in the sky. People in a big city couldn’t see this kind of starry sky.
Under the starry sky, there was a small house in the forest. And there was a small road. Outside the house, the dim yellow light was shining. Gerald was still wearing Wesley’s clothes. The clothes were washed many times. They looked a little old.
In the end, Wesley agreed. In order to live a better life, and to let Leila get a better education, he
decided to go to Washington with Gerald.
“Pew!” After making up his mind, Wesley seemed to be relieved. He took out his monthly salary
from his pocket, a thick stack of money, almost 1,600 dollars.
“Before I go to Washington with you, I want to… hold a banquet at home,” Wesley suddenly said. “It so happens that there is just a month before my 40–year–old birthday.”
Gerald was stunned, but he understood what Wesley was thinking.
In the past few years, Wesley lived a poor life. Usually, Wesley wouldn’t treat people to dinner. He rarely visited his relatives and friends.
He also lived lonely here.
Obviously, it wasn’t that Wesley didn’t want to visit them, but he didn’t dare to. In fact, Wesley had been thinking of ways to borrow money these past few days. He wanted to borrow 3,200 dollars, but none of his relatives and friends were willing to lend money to him. They didn’t even dare to answer his call.
Hearing that he wanted to treat others to a meal, Gerald nodded and said, “It’s your 40th birthday. We have to hold a big party. How about we go to a five–star hotel and invite all your relatives over? Let them see how good you are now.”
Wesley was stunned. He quickly shook his head and said, “I only have…”
“Don’t worry about the money. Where is the nearest five–star hotel nearby?” Gerald asked.
“There is a five–star hot spring hotel on the way to the county,” Wesley looked at Gerald and said.
your
“Then let’s book a private room at that place.” Gerald smiled and said, “Go and inform
your friends. You can go buy some good clothes tomorrow with your money. You can calculate how many friends you have. I will order a banquet tomorrow!”
Although Wesley was a little embarrassed, he nodded and said, “Then I will calculate the number of people tonight.”
After that, he looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, thank you.”
“You saved my life, so you don’t have to worry about anything. My life is quite valuable,” Gerald laughed.
Gerald chatted with Wesley for a long time, while reducing the psychological pressure on Wesley. Gerald also got close to Wesley.
The next day, Wesley gave Gerald a ballpark figure, and then Gerald asked Valery to make a phone call. Gerald asked someone to book a banquet for Wesley in Washington!
And the banquet would be held five days later!
These days, Wesley and Leila had been very busy.
They were constantly contacting some of their relatives, wanting to get close to them again.
However, many relatives were not even willing to answer their calls.
It was normal for people not to be willing to contact poor relatives.
Wesley was not angry. Instead, he understood them. He felt that he was too poor in the past. It was
normal for them to look down on him or not want to contact him.
Wesley was very patient and visited them every day to notify them.
Originally, Valery had planned to let him drive the car, but Wesley did not have a driver’s license.
However, Wesley was still very patient and went to inform his relatives one by one.
When his relatives knew that he was going to hold a banquet at a five–star hotel, they were all very surprised. Wesley would also tell them that Raiden had already been captured and that he didn’t need to pay his debts anymore.
In short, although Wesley had been busy in the past few days, his mood and condition were getting
better and better.
If someone had a good mood, he would look a few years younger.
Previously, Wesley looked very depressed.
Gerald still lived in their house. After the first day when Valery slept on the same bed with Gerald, she didn’t continue to sleep there.
According to her, Gerald didn’t have a good habit while sleeping.
The next day, Valery chose to sleep in the living room with Leila.
The chairs in the living room could be used as a bed. There was no problem for the two people to sleep.
