The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 259

"Ms. Ning, it would be great if you came to the party with Jay."

The man offered his invitation generously, in a confident tone, as if he had no doubt that Nicole would accept.

Before Nicole could answer, Jay chimed in,

"Thank you, Uncle. I will not miss Callie's birthday." Jay's eyes were fixed on Callie, but it was a pity that Callie was above him since she was in her father's arms.

Jay felt a little frustrated, and wondered where the old man was right now. Jay really needed his help, but he didn't see him anywhere nearby.

Callie seemed to know what Jay was thinking, but she didn't get down from her father’s arms. She said, "I hope Auntie Nicole can come with Jay. You're beautiful and I like you very much."

Callie's compliment made Nicole feel a little shy, as she wasn't accustomed to receiving praise from children other than Jay. "Okay, I will be there. I like you, too."

Who could resist such an adorable kid?

The man nodded to Callie and said, "We have some other things to do now. We'll see you tomorrow." Then he left with Callie in his arms.

When they sat down at the table again, Nicole suddenly became curious about the father and daughter. "Jay, how did you meet Callie? Why didn't I know about this girl before?"

Not knowing that Jay had concealed so many secrets from her, she felt like a bit of a failure.

In the past, she was always the first one to know what was going on in Jay‘s life.

"I got to know her on a website. Mommy, what gift should I prepare for Callie's birthday tomorrow?" His face was beaming with happiness.

It would be the first time for him to give a gift to anyone other than his mother. He wanted to give Callie something special and rare.

The look on Jay's face made her laugh. "Jay, you really like Callie, don't you?" Nicole knew it wasn't a big deal, but she felt very curious when she observed Jay.

After all, it was the first time that Jay had a crush on a girl.

"Don't you like her too?" Jay didn't catch the implication of Nicole‘s words. He was only thinking about what he should give to Callie.

"Yes, I like her too. As for the gift... It doesn't matter much what kind of gift you choose. What matters more is your sincerity. I can't help you with this."

Jay was different from other children. Since Callie could make friends with him, Nicole felt that the girl must be very intelligent.

It was a good thing that Jay had a friend. The girl's father was what concerned her more. That man seemed so familiar to her, so she was thinking hard about who he could be.

Meanwhile, Callie put her arms around the man's neck and said, "Dad, aren't you happy that I found her?"

The man smiled, "Don't worry, Callie. I'll take care of this matter." The man took the girl and walked out of the restaurant.
