Chapter 1494
They heard that Yorrick and Xyla were expecting a daughter. The Hathaways had to
prepare to welcome the arrival of their daughter, so they couldn’t attend Nicholas’s
birthday party.
Nolan looked at Jackie and asked, “I thought you were married? where’s your wife?”
Jackie’s face sank when he heard Nolan’s question.
Everyone knew that he had married Violet when he returned to Octavia three years
ago. They had had a small wedding in a small outdoor setting and had invited less than
100 guests, keeping a low profile.
The media had been keeping an eye on them before their marriage. However, Jackie
and Violet seldom appeared in public, and even though they were caught on camera by
the media, it was either Jackie alone or Violet shopping with her friends.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe media had a lot of speculation about their marriage, but they cleared everyone's
doubts by saying that there wasn’t any problem in their marriage. However, no one
knew the truth.
Jackie calmed himself down and said, “Something came up, so she went home.”
Nicholas chuckled and chimed in. “It's okay. I'm very happy that everyone can take time to come to my birthday
party. If she has something to attend to, we can't force her to come either. After all, everyone's here today to have
fun and enjoy themselves.”
“Grandpa.” Daisie jumped to Nicholas’ side and wrapped her arms around his. “I have a present for you.”
“Really?” Nicholas looked at her. “what kind of present have you prepared for me this time?”
Suddenly, the voice of a parrot erupted in the distance. “Big Spender wishes Grandpa happy birthday.”
Saydie brought the parrot over, and it began singing the Birthday Song.
Nicholas was momentarily stunned before he burst into laughter. “Good, good, good. I like your present very much,
Daisie.”
The gift that Wayion prepared was rather expensive. It was a champlevé Aromatic Oil Burner Champlevé was an
enameling technique or a decorative object made by the champlevé process. It was a unique, delicate, and
exquisite technique that was used in ancient times.
It wouldn’t be far-fetched to call it a gorgeous piece of collection.
While everyone was stunned by Wayion’s present, some of them mumbled, “Even though he’s still young, he isn’t
ordinary.”
“Yeah. I heard that he looks like Mr. Goldmann the most among the three kids. I’m sure he’ll become even more
outstanding than his father.”
Maisie turned her head to look at Wayion.
Perhaps because Wayion had been training overseas these few years, he was more
mature than Colton and Daisie.
He was her kid as well, and she felt sorry for him. He should have grown up under their
protection, but he chose to be the one to protect them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNolan wrapped his arm around her shoulders and asked, “what’s wrong, Zee?”
“I'm thinking whether Wayion has a hard time since he's in another country.” she was
his mother, yet she did not carry out her responsibility to take care of him. As such,
she felt that she owed him something.
Nolan grabbed her into his arms and said, “It's better for him to train himself early
since he'll have an easier time later after he grows up. Besides, it's good for him to be
independent early too.”
Disengaging from parental help was not bad for the child. At least, it would give the kid
a better perception of how the world worked. If the kids stayed with their parents, the
parents would always help them solve their problems, this would create a wrong
impression for them that the world would always be kind to them.
However, kids had to grow up one day, and they had to face their problems
themselves. They would get crushed easily when they realized that the world was not
what they thought it was.
Although it was tough for Wayion to grow up away from his parents, he had learned a
lot of things. He could basically solve every problem himself, and that was the reason
Titus had decided to bring him to Stoslo back then.
