Matthew had made this decision long ago, and he only revealed it now because he wanted to surprise Tammy. After hearing Matthew’s words, Tammy’s teammates froze. They only realized what that meant after a while. Then ty gathered around Tammy and threw her up in the air joyfully.
The atmosphere became more lively than ever. “The best brother in the world!” exclaimed one audience member. People then started chanting this phrase.
Overcome with mixed emotions, Anna began to cry. “Why are you crying?” Wayne asked, wiping away her tears.
“I’m so happy to have these two wonderful children. I haven’t seen them in a long time, but they’ve matured into responsible adults. I feel we are bad parents.”
“Don’t you think you’re lucky? You met me, and then you have such wonderful children like Matthew and Tammy.”
“No, you’re the lucky one. You met a wonderful woman like me, and I gave birth to a twin for you!”
“Yeah. Thank you, Anna. We are lucky to have each other!”

The award ceremony lasted half an hour. Martin suggested that everyone stand up so that Tammy won’t see Anna and Wayne.
A few minutes later, Tammy finally left backstage, followed by Alicia, who was carrying her bag. The moment she saw Peace, Tammy ran up to her and said proudly, “I’m brilliant, aren’t I?”
Peace tightly hugged Tammy and said, “You’re incredible, Tammy. You’re the world champion now. I’m so proud of you!”
Then Emily hugged them both, saying, “I want to hug the champion too. Come on, guys! Line up behind me if you want to hug the champion.”
Hearing that, Anna and Wayne moved silently to the end of the line. At the same time, Tammy hugged each of them one by one. When she saw her parents, she asked Martin, “Am I dreaming? Martin, can you see them?”
“You can pinch yourself to see if it hurts,” Martin joked. And Tammy began crying after heavily pinching her thigh.
With a worried face, Anna hugged Tammy and asked, “What’s wrong, honey? Did you pinch yourself too hard? Does it hurt?”
Wayne mumbled, “My daughter is still that cute little fool.”
Martin asked, “Why are you crying, Tammy? You’re the world champion now. You made it!”
Tammy hugged her parents tightly. “Why didn’t you tell me you were here? “
“We wanted to give you a surprise! Are you surprised?”
Then Matthew chimed in, “I reserved a large private room at the Carousel Hotel. I’m throwing a party for Tammy and to welcome my parents home. Let’s go!”
After dinner, Tammy came back to her apartment. She took a quick shower before going to bed. As she lay down in bed, she checked her phone and found tons of unread messages in Team Wolf’s chat group. Tammy was supposed to join her teammates in celebrating their victory after the game, but she didn’t because her parents showed up unexpectedly.
Tammy’s teammates not only posted pictures from dinner in the chat group, but they also mentioned her several times. Tammy was about to go to bed after replying to everyone’s messages. But the moment she discovered Dominic had also texted her, she perished the thought.
Dominic had become extremely busy since he retired from the e-sports circle two years ago and returned to London to take over his family’s business. Recently, instead of having time to play games with her, he could only teach her practical strategies occasionally.
Dominic returned to Birmingham this time just to watch their game. However, Dominic and Tammy didn’t even have time to talk in private because they were so focused on the preparations.
“Are you going to sleep now?” Dominic texted Tammy.
It was already time for Tammy to go to bed, but she was too excited to sleep.
“No, I’m not yet,” Tammy replied.
“Congratulations! You’re now the world champion!”
On reading the message, Tammy burst out laughing. “Aren’t you going to do something to celebrate for me?” she asked.
“What do you have in mind?”
Tammy was at a loss for words because she already had it all. “Sorry, I haven’t thought about it yet,” she said.
“Fine. I heard your birthday is approaching.”
“That’s right. It’s on next Saturday.”
“Great! You’re finally becoming an adult.”
“I’m going to be 18! Hooray! I finally don’t have to be bossed around by my brother on anything. I’ve been waiting for this moment for years!”
“You’re really looking forward to this? Why? Do you want to start dating?” Dominic asked.
“No! The boys will only stand in the way of my success.”
“Well… What would you like for your birthday? If you can’t think of anything, I’ll choose something for you.”
“It’s up to you. I thought you were going back to London. You’ve been so busy recently, haven’t you?”
“I’ll go back after your birthday party. You know, too much flying exhausts me. Plus, one of my branches is in Birmingham. I need to go there someday.”
“Really? Actually, my birthday isn’t that important.”
“No. It’s your 18th birthday. It’s very special! Well, you don’t want me to go to your birthday party, do you?”
“That’s not what I meant. I’ll definitely invite you!”
After texting Dominic for a long while, Tammy finally fell asleep. And she had a sweet dream.

The pandemic in Fleosil was finally under control. Furthermore, after some time, the British medical team developed an effective vaccine and special medicine. As a result, Anna was not required to return to Fleosil. She intended to take her annual leave before returning to her job at the hospital.
Anna had mixed feelings about Matthew and Tammy, who would soon be adults. She was happy for her children, but she was also emotional. She knew that when her children grew up, they would live the lives they wanted, which meant they would leave home.
Later on, Anna and Wayne decide to throw their children a big birthday party. Their family and friends became excited about planning the party after hearing the news.
A week later, Tammy and Matthew’s birthday party was officially held in the Carousel Hotel’s top-floor ballroom. Anna invited many guests, including some big shots of the city. Apart from that, she specifically requested that the security guards prevent the media and paparazzi from entering the ballroom.
At noon, Anna and Wayne took the two children to see a well-known stylist. The stylist thought Matthew’s image was fine, so she simply gave him a haircut. However, she asked Tammy to stay in her studio for the whole afternoon.
And Tammy received a complete makeover from head to toe from the stylist, and she appeared different when she left the studio. The instant he saw Tammy, Matthew commented that she appeared to be a completely different person.
Tammy was impatient throughout the whole afternoon because she rarely wore makeup. However, she was also taken aback when she saw herself in the mirror. Tammy’s skin was so fair and glowing that she looked like a fairy. Also, the skin on her whole body was as smooth and nearly flawless. She looked like one of those elegant noble girls in oil paintings. Her blue eyes were as limpid as melting snow in spring, and the dimples on her face added to her charm. Like sweet cherry wine, she was intoxicating and attractive.
Also, Tammy was tall and in good shape and she was both energetic and lively. After the stylist dressed her up and did her makeup, Tammy appeared to be every teenage boy’s dream girl.
At the moment, Tammy was dressed in one of the dresses that Anna had carefully selected for her. The dress was elegant and chic, and it stood out from the crowd with a beautiful beige ribbon that formed a beautiful twist. As for Tammy’s long hair, it was curled into wavy curls.
“Oh my goodness! Are you really Tammy? I thought you were an angel. Matthew, Wayne! Take a look at Tammy!” Anna wrapped her arms around Tammy’s shoulders and exclaimed.
