Chapter 191 A Heartwarming Birthday Surprise
Soon, Charlotte took Ben and Anna to the front of the castle.
Unfortunately, it seemed the staff inside might have already gone off-duty, as the castle’s main door was tightly closed. Charlotte looked regretfully at Ben and Anna, “It seems we can’t enter the castle today. We’ll have to come another time.”
But Ben and Anna looked at each other, smiled, and suddenly clapped their hands.
The castle door opened in response.
Charlotte looked at them in disbelief, then her gaze landed on Gideon.
Gideon chuckled, “This wasn’t my idea. I just helped them coordinate with the park.”
“Mom, let’s hurry inside.” Without waiting for Charlotte to inquire further, Anna quickly pulled her hand and led her inside.
Charlotte could only laugh helplessly, “Alright, alright, no need to rush.”
The four ascended the stairs, reaching the top floor.
The soft night breeze brushed their laces, filling Charlotte’s hair. Looking at the lights below, Charlotte felt relaxed. She patted
Ben and Anna’s heads, “You two sure know how to enjoy.”
Ben and Anna looked at each other and began counting down, “Ten, nine, eight… two, one!”
“Happy Birthday, Mom!”
With the enthusiastic cheers of the two kids, the dark sky was suddenly lit up by a brilliant firework, illuminating the entire sky.
Charlotte looked at the two children in astonishment, her eyes slightly reddened.
Had they not mentioned it, Charlotte would have completely forgotten what day it was.
Growing up in the White family, Charlotte had always had grand birthday celebrations, but always with business partners and their children. Not only could Charlotte not invite her friends according to her preferences, but she also had to treat those children whom she did not know well. Even when there was a conflict, she had to give in unconditionally.
Over time, Charlotte lost her enthusiasm for birthdays.
After getting married, Joe never bothered about such things. At most, he would ask Jack to prepare a birthday gift, but he wouldn’t even dine with her.
all the disappointments from her childhood and adulthood would be made up for by the two children.
With the brilliant fireworks behind them, Charlotte knelt down and hugged the two kids tightly, “Thank you. I loved today’s surprise.”
Ben and Anna softly k*ssed Charlotte’s face, “Mom, we love you.”
Anna seriously presented a strawberry bunny doll. She reluctantly handed the toy to Charlotte, “This is my favorite toy. I hope it will accompany mom now and that mom will be happy every day, being the best mom.”
Holding the toy in her hands, Charlotte was overjoyed.
She knew how important this doll was to Anna and never imagined she would part with it.
Charlotte gratefully accepted the toy, a*suring Anna with a smile, “I’ll take care of it. If you miss it, you can come to my room and see it, okay?”
Anna’s initial reluctance disappeared, and she nodded vigorously, “Okay.”
Ben then took out a jewelry box, inside was a beautiful blue and pink gemstone necklace.
He said shyly, “I designed this necklace. The blue and pink gemstones are made from my and Anna’s hair respectively. As long as you wear this necklace, it will protect you from all spying and eavesdropping.”
Charlotte responded with joy, “Thank you, Ben. I love it.”
