Chapter 1053: Chapter 1051: It’s Her and Gerry Peary’s Birthday Today
"But, I have to work all day, and I’m not allowed to eat before dinner, so when can I eat?"
After dinner?
After dinner, I’m not hungry at all, can’t eat okay?
She will definitely eat a lot at the dinner table.
"It’s best not to eat, these things are not clean and have no nutrition."
Okay!
The CEO doesn’t allow her to eat these things at all.
Too much, too much!
She doesn’t like him at all now.
"You can eat on your day off."
Seeing her cheeks puffed up with anger, Maxwell couldn’t help but smile.
Every time he sees Nia like this, he feels that life is really good now.
There’s liveliness, there’s emotion.
This kind of life is the real life, isn’t it?
Nia is still a bit unhappy, but she knows the CEO is doing it for her own good.
"Alright, I will eat on my day off then."
In the end, she relented.
Hearing her say that, Maxwell nodded.
"Good girl."
He reached out and touched her hair.
Nia immediately turned her head and smoothed her hair.
"Uncle, why do you always like my head? I’m not a child anymore."
It clearly feels like he’s treating her as a child.
Seeing her like this, Maxwell shook his head, his eyes full of tenderness.
"In my eyes, you are a child."
Only twenty years old, what else but a child?
"Uncle, I’m not a child, I’m your wife."
On equal footing.
How can he always treat her like a junior?
That’s absolutely not right.
I’m your wife!
Instantly, Maxwell’s mind was filled with those five words.
Spinning endlessly, repeating, lingering.
A bit domineering, a bit soft, a bit heartwarming.
This is Nia, the wife he cannot let go of.
"Yes, you’re my wife, not a child."
Look at this child-like demeanor, still so self-assured...
Haha...
The CEO had a very pleasant meal.
Nia also had a face full of smiles, even though she only ended up having a bowl of porridge and didn’t eat much else.
The two of them held hands as they went upstairs, Nia smiling brightly.
"Uncle, is your work finished?"
"Hm."
There’s so much work, how could there ever be a day when it’s completely done?
But the urgent matters, she’s completely handled them.
"That’s great, shall we go stargazing then?"
The stars are particularly bright tonight.
The two came to the balcony, where a lounge chair was set up.
Nia snuggled into the CEO’s arms, they both looked up at the flickering stars.
"Just right, so cozy."
Such a life rarely happens in a fast-paced city like Imperial City.
People are too busy, rarely do they come out to look at the stars and moon.
On the other side of the world, it’s early morning over at Shirley’s place.
About to dawn, Shirley woke up early.
Rubbing her aching head from the hangover, she walked lightly to the bathroom.
"Ugh..."
Feeling uncomfortable all night, she finally threw up.
Three minutes later, she came out of the bathroom.
After throwing up, she felt much better, her mind clearing up.
With a wry smile, she slowly walked to the balcony and looked at the upcoming sunrise in the distance.
Today is Gerry’s birthday, also her own.
This year, no one is with her.
How is Gerry doing?
The doctor said before that Gerry’s illness can’t be delayed any longer.
How is he now?
She knows nothing, can only drown her sorrows in alcohol deep into the night.
In the next room, Andrew heard the noise from here and slowly opened his eyes.
