As for Waylon, they were not very worried about him.
They were certain that he could fend for himself when he had to face the world alone.
The only person they were worried about was Daisie.
That incident with Lisa indeed had given Daisie a huge blow, but the good thing was that she herself had learned from her mistake.
When Quincy came out with the five-layer cake, the kids all went forward to help him.
Daisie put a birthday hat on Nicholas' head, and he laughed happily.
Maisie felt relieved to see the happy atmosphere between the children and Nicholas.
The birthday party only came to an end very late at night.
Maisie and Nolan stood at the door and sent the guests off one after another.
After that, they returned to the living room.
There were a lot of expensive gifts for Nicholas in the living room, and amongst them, the parrot that Daisie prepared for him stood out the most.
Thomas and Jackie stayed for one night.
Jackie had returned to the guest room while the three kids had gone to play on their own, leaving Thomas to talk with Nicholas on the couch.
Nolan and Maisie sat on the couch and said, "Grandpa, why don’t you stay for a few more days?"
"I'd love to, but unfortunately, I still have some business affairs to attend to over there.Jackie can stay here for a few days, though.After all, he has nothing t o do right now."
Maisie looked at Thomas and asked, "He has nothing to do? I thought he’s already married? Does he not need to take care of his wife?"
Thomas sighed.
"Well, it’s kind of complicated."
They had gotten married not because of love but because of the benefits that would bring to their families from the marriage.
They did not have any feelings for each other, so it was difficult for them to get together.
Back then, it was Aaron who had proposed the marriage to him.
At that time, he felt that since both o f the families had the same social status and the marriage would help each other to advance further in the industry in Octavia, Thomas had said yes to the proposal.
Honestly, he was rather satisfied with Violet being his daughter-in-law.
She was well-behaved and respected the elders in his family.
The only thing was that she did not have a good reputation in the industry.
Meanwhile, Elaine was drunk due to the amount of wine she consumed at the birthday party.
She leaned on Lucy’s shoulder while Lucy held her shoulder.
"Why did you drink so much wine?"
