Chapter 21 A Birthday Gift to the Future Mother-in-law
Chapter 21 A Birthday Gift to the Future Mother-in-law
“Okay.” Miguel hesitated for two minutes and agreed.
Indeed, his family was not used to be high-profiled. But the more important thing was that he did not
want his wife suffer humiliations outside.
He had not given anything to Michelle in this life. They had kept their wedding ceremony simple that
year because Miguel’s mother had been dissatisfied with Michelle.
Since then, there had not been any banquet hold for Michelle.
Miguel did care Michelle. Her birthday and their wedding anniversary were all done at home, which was
not known by the public.
Never did he expect that the family warmth in their eyes would have made Michelle be misunderstood
by outsiders.
Since they got married, Michelle used to forbear from resisting to avoid any family conflict for him. Not
to mention how people outside demeaned Michelle, what Lorie and Esther had done to despise her
made him feel so guilty.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
“On your mother’s 50th birthday, I must make her the happiest woman in the world!” Miguel said.
“I knew you loves my mom so much,” Hannah said with delight, “I’ll handle the matters of the banquet.
Dad just needs to follow my arrangements and gives my mom a surprise later.”
“Alright.” Miguel trusted his daughter fully, “But don’t get too tired.”
“Don’t worry.” Hannah smiled brightly, “On my mom’s birthday, I’ll definitely let you stun the whole
scene, no, stun the whole country!”
“It’s up to you.” Miguel looked at his daughter with loving care.
“It’s late. Go to bed early, Dad.”
“You too.”
“Good night.”
Miguel went upstairs first.
Hannah sat in the hall for a while.
Not did she prepare for this birthday banquet in an attempt to set a trap for Charles, but she indeed did
not want her mother to be with grievance anymore.
In those years when she married Charles…
Her mom was even despised by Charles’s mother. The contempt for Michelle could be heard at all
times between Loretta’s words. But because Michelle did not want to make things difficult for her
daughter, she used to endure everything. For Hannah, to be a good daughter-in-law, she even
deliberately ignored what they had done to her mother.
When she thought of it now, she wished to smack herself!
For the sake of Charles, she had lived without her own self!
Hannah gritted her teeth with deep regret.
She would never repeat the same mistake in this life and would absolutely take revenge!
In a flash, half a month passed.
Tomorrow was the date of her mother’s birthday.
All the preparations for the birthday banquet were hidden from her mother.
She wanted to give Michelle a surprise.
It was rare for a person to have a second 50-year-old. She must let her mother experience what she
should have gotten to make up all the regrets she had in the first 50 years of her life.
After she confirmed the details of tomorrow’s banquet with the attendant again, she received a call from
Oscar the moment she started the car engine and was about to leave.
It was a bit rare that he took the initiative to call her, for she had not been in touch with Oscar over the
past few months.
Nor had she contacted Charles.
Charles was busy with the selection of“Outstanding and Influential Youths” these days, and he should
be preparing a lot of materials because there would be a live speech.
But it was not strange that Charles would put in so much effort. The selection this time was very
valuable in Northfield. Among all the elites that got into politics, eighty per cent of them had been given
this title.
Therefore, Charles certainly devoted himself to it.
And once he was busy with his own business, it was possible for him to pay attention to her.
Of course, she was glad.
After all, she completely did not want to act with Charles.
She picked up the phone while driving the car, “Hello.”
“Your mother is having a birthday tomorrow, right?” Oscar asked.
“Have you received the invitation?” Hannah said.
Today, she had confirmed one by one with the attendant to make sure that all the invitations had been
delivered.
“Yes.”
“Remember to come on time.”
“I’ll give my future mother-in-law a birthday present,” said Oscar.
‘Future mother-in-law.’
“No, you don’t.” Hannah calmed herself and said, “It’s been given to her.”
“Hmm?” Oscar was a little surprised.
“You’ll know when you come tomorrow.” Hannah deliberately did not tell him.
Oscar laughed and did not ask anymore.
“Turn on the TV and watch it when you have time later.” He added.
“What?”
“Half an hour later.”
“Remember to watch.” Oscar hung up the phone.
That made her puzzled. Hannah was wondering what he meant by that while staring at her phone.
But she did not bother to think much about it. She drove the car directly to the largest jewellery store in
Kensbury City.
She was calling Susan as she entered the store, “Have you arrived?”
“Not yet, give me a minute.”
“You always come late,” Hannah complained.
“Hannah, I’m already showing you much respect. I usually get up at 12 pm, but I come here for you
while it’s not 11 o’clock yet. What else do you want from me?”
“Drive safely, I’ll wait for you.”
“I’m hanging up then.”
Hannah put down her phone and went to a VIP private room of the jewellery store under the guidance
of the attendant.
“Just a minute, Ms Cooper. We will bring your crown here. ” The attendant said respectfully.
“OK.” Hannah nodded and sipped the coffee.
Some came to her mind at the moment.
“Could you turn on the TV for me?” Said she.
The private room was equipped with a TV.
“Sure.” the attendant hastily answered and quickly turned on the TV for her, “Would you like to watch
Mr Sawyer’s live speech?”
Only then did she remember that the selection of “Outstanding and Influential Youths” was held today.
When Oscar asked her to watch the TV, he was asking her to watch Charles giving a speech? Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
In her memory, Oscar had not participate in this event.
Oscar did not appear to be sharp as a tack in public until the second year of her marriage with Charles.
Hannah was watching the screen. And she suddenly saw Oscar’s name when the compere was
introducing the candidates, which was the first one one the list.
And the camera faced Oscar who was sitting in the first row below next second.
No one could avoid being bewitched by his perfect features.
“Why is this guy on the TV screen? And he looks so handsome!” At the doorway, Susan’s voice
sounded.
Hannah looked back and explained to her, “The annual selection of ‘Outstanding and Influential Youths’
in Northfield.”
“Is it the event that Charles’s running for, and you prayed for him at the temple last time?”
Hannah was disgusted by that name said by Susan. She realized her refusal to Charles’s name.
