Chapter 911
“This was the happiest Children’s Day I’ve ever had in my life p>
Tarquin turned to look at her, “From now on, I’ll make every year happier than the last for you p>
The two shared a smile, surrounded by pink bubbles of joy.
After making sure the grown-up was happy, Tarquin returned to the candy store to delight the younger one.
Baby was playing with four little stuffed animals and a bunny doll, giggling with joy.
Elysia couldn’t help but ask Tarquin, “Are you sure Baby can stay with us tonight p>
“Absolutely! Don’t worry p>
Reassured, Elysia joined the children in their fun, playing along with them.
They played until late afternoon when Tarquin finally said, “Baby, shall we go home and see your Children’s Day present p>
Baby was surprised, “There’s another present p>
“Of course, the flowers this morning were just the start. The real present is at home, and I promise, Baby, you’re going to love it p>
The little girl’s face was flushed with excitement, her big eyes wide with surprise.
Tarquin asked, “Shall we go home now p>
“Yes, yes p>
So, the group set off for Number One Mansion.
Keith had been keeping an eye on the situation!
Hearing that Tarquin was taking Baby back to Number One Mansion, he immediately became alert and quickly called Elysia, “It’s getting late, when will Baby be coming back? If you’re too busy, I can come to pick her up right now p>
“You… wait, talk to Baby p>
Elysia handed the phone to Baby, who obediently called out, “Daddy p>
Keith, suppressing his anxiousness, spoke softly, “Yes, it’s Daddy. It’s time to come home, Baby p>
“Can I wait a bit longer, please? Mr. Handsome has prepared a present for me, and I haven’t seen it yet p>
Keith was puzzled, “Didn’t he give you a present this morning p>
“That was just the beginning. The real present is at Mr. Handsome’s house. I want to open the present before I leave, is that okay, Daddy?” After a few seconds of silence, Keith relented, “Alright, but call me as soon as you’ve seen the present p>
“Okay, okay p>
After hanging up, Baby handed the phone back to Elysia.
Elysia frowned slightly, her gaze shifting uneasily to Tarquin. She knew Keith wouldn’t agree to let Baby stay the night.
But Tarquin seemed unfazed, offering her a reassuring look.
Still, Elysia couldn’t shake her unease, curious about how Tarquin planned to convince Keith to let Baby stay.
Meanwhile, Keith had already grabbed his car keys and left the house.
He felt uneasy, suspecting Tarquin was up to something!
He decided to go to Number One Mansion and wait. As soon as Baby saw her present, he’d take her home!
Upon reaching Number One Mansion, Tarquin carried Baby to her room, with Elysia and the stuffed animals following.
At Baby’s room door, Tarquin said, “Close your eyes, Baby. I’ll count to three, and then you can open them p>
“Okay.” Baby obediently closed her eyes, full of anticipation.
Elysia was curious, “What on earth did you prepare for Baby p>
Tarquin winked at her, “It’s a secret p>
Elysia rolled her eyes.
Entering Baby’s room and seeing Tarquin’s present made everyone gasp in amazement.
“Wow!” exclaimed the stuffed animals in unison.
Elysia’s eyes widened in surprise.
Baby was getting impatient, “What is it? Did you see it p>
Tarquin asked, “Are you ready, Baby p>
“Yes, I’m ready p>
Tarquin counted, “One, two, three… open your eyes p>
