Chapter 1057 An Invitation From The Royal Family
Natalie patted Yumi on the head and said with a chuckle, “Well, I’m here now! Is there something you wanted to tell me?”
Yumi nodded profusely and stared at her with her large, watery eyes. “Mommy, I think I only told you my birthday once, so you probably don’t remember it. After all, unlike Sophia and the others, I’m just an adopted child. But then, I received your birthday card and bunny music box today!
I waited for you because I wanted to thank you in person for it. Thank you, Mommy. Thanks for adopting me from the orphanage, for remembering my birthday, for getting me a gift, and for providing me with such a complete family!”
Yumi had been worried that she wouldn’t be able to fit in when she first joined this family, but her siblings loved her like their own even though they weren’t connected by blood.
They never treated her like an outsider, so she was truly glad to have met Natalie.
Unsure of what else she could say, Yumi hugged Natalie shyly and buried her face in Natalie’s chest.
“I really like you, Mommy!”
Natalie’s heart was filled with warmth when she felt Yumi hugging her tightly.
“Me too, Yumi!” Natalie glanced at the clock in the living room and flashed her a smile. “The clock hasn’t struck twelve, so your birthday isn’t over just yet. Happy birthday, Yumi!”
Yumi felt so happy that she could barely contain her excitement.
She didn’t want to cry, but the emotions were so overwhelming that her tears just started rolling down her cheeks.
“Mommy!” she sobbed uncontrollably.
Natalie gave her a gentle pat on the back and whispered, “You need to look pretty on your birthday, Yumi. Stop crying, okay? Your daddy is unable to celebrate your birthday with you due to some special reasons, but you have to believe that he likes you a lot too and misses you deeply.”
Yumi nodded while wiping the tears off her reddened eyes.
“It’s really late now. How about I carry you to your bedroom upstairs?”
After all, the universe had provided her with the cutest and kindest little angels she could ever ask for.
The next day, Natalie got ready to head over to Dream after breakfast.
She had just stepped out the door when she saw Jerome’s car parked outside her mansion.
Jerome looked particularly handsome as he stood there in the sun with his military uniform on. He exuded an aura that was only found in young guys who were entering manhood.
Feeling a little surprised by him suddenly showing up like this, Natalie asked, “Jerome, what are you—”
Not wanting to make things awkward, Jerome cut her off, “Don’t worry, Natalie. I didn’t come here to pester you or anything. I’m here to discuss official business with you.”
Natalie’s expression grew serious when she heard that. “What is it?”
Jerome had a conflicted look in his eyes as he said in a hoarse voice, “Prince Jonathan has invited you to attend his birthday party tomorrow night.”
