Archie gave Roxanne an emerald necklace. “Mommy, this is a piece of emerald that I found in the market. It has a history of several hundred years, but unfortunately, the shopkeeper didn’t know its value. I bought it at a discount and then polished it myself!”
With tender eyes, Roxanne received the necklace from Archie and felt its warm and cool touch. Even though the color was not as pure as that of an emerald, it was expertly polished to a smooth finish, revealing Archie’s attentive nature.
She immediately leaned down and kissed her son. “Mommy really likes this gift!”
“And me, and me! Mommy, I also have a gift!” Benny was very anxious and immediately opened the gift box in his hand.
Roxanne continued to smile brightly. Her eyes lit up when she saw Benny’s gift. It was an exquisitely crafted wooden sculpture, which was very delicate and hyper-realistic.
“Mommy, I bought this from the wood market. This is a kind of wood that has been submerged in water all year round. I could only make it this small because I only bought a small piece.”
The wooden sculpture was a goddess statue.
Roxanne looked at it and praised Benny’s craftsmanship. “It’s amazing! Mommy likes it too. I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful!”
After that, she praised the three little ones, “Mommy likes all the birthday gifts you prepared! Thank you so much!”
However, she couldn’t help but feel nervous. What should I prepare for my children’s birthdays? Where can I find meaningful gifts? I’m under a lot of pressure being their mom.
When Lucian heard the children’s laughter, he shouted from the living room downstairs, “It’s my turn, Darling! Come down quickly!”
Roxanne’s face lit up with a smile of contentment as she descended the stairs, accompanied by the three little ones. She clearly remembered Lucian had chosen to spend time with Aubree on her birthday many years ago.
Let’s see what gift he has prepared for me today. If his gift is incomparable to the children, I’ll have to bring up old grievances!
As they made their way downstairs, they didn’t get a chance to see where Lucian was before all the lights in the hall suddenly went out.
“Why is he using the same trick? He did this when he proposed to me last time!” Roxanne muttered to herself as she retained her calm composure. The children weren’t worried either, as they had already rehearsed this with their dad.
Suddenly, the sky was illuminated by a brilliant galaxy of stars, covering everything in sight. The hall was also lit up.
Roxanne and the children lifted their heads, looking at the magnificent Milky Way and the sparkling stars and ever-changing nebulae. The sight was so breathtakingly beautiful. It felt incredibly realistic as if they were floating through the galaxy, traveling through the stars.
The scene changed, and suddenly they saw the blue planet receding from human civilization as they flew further and further away.
They could see the gorgeous planet covered by blue seawater, and many famous landmarks in the country were still visible at first. As they flew further away, Chanaea gradually shrank into the distance.
“Wow! It’s so realistic!”
“It’s really amazing! The galaxy is so beautiful!”
“The feeling of traveling through the universe is really fantastic!” The three little ones exclaimed in amazement, and the view of the sky changed again. They could recognize the eight planets orbiting around Earth and pointed them out one by one. Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn….
Estella pointed to Pluto, which unfortunately had been demoted from a planet. Although Roxanne wasn’t as excited as the children, she still felt like she was in a dream.
But she was still waiting.
Where’s Lucian’s gift?
As the scene changed continuously, the children exclaimed, “Mommy, we are heading toward the moon! That’s our moon!”
“Hey, there’s someone on the moon!”
“Oh wow, Daddy is on the moon! How did he do that?” The children’s surprised voices caught Roxanne’s attention. She looked over and was stunned by what she saw.
Indeed, from a distance, someone was standing on the moon’s surface. Upon closer look, the person seemed like Lucian!
It’s fake, it’s all fake! This isn’t real, Lucian must have used image technology to project his image into the universe! But the more Roxanne looked, the more she felt it was real!
Step by step, Lucian’s figure approached Roxanne and the children. They could even see the gentle smile on his face and the affectionate expression in his eyes.
Roxanne was completely stunned. He held a rose in his right hand and an exquisite box in his left. Finally, Lucian’s figure suddenly flew out of the moon and floated toward her.
Soon, the cosmic starry sky in the hall dimmed slightly, and everything began to return to reality. Countless sparkling stars converged on Lucian and he slowly descended from the sky to the hall.
“Wow! Daddy came back from the moon!”
“Daddy is so cool! He picked stars for Mommy in the sky!” “Television dramas don’t lie. Daddy can even the stars from the sky and give them to Mommy!”
Lucian, dressed in a special gentleman’s tailcoat and holding flowers and gifts, landed in front of Roxanne like an angel. The woman sighed inwardly at this romantic gesture. Oh, well! He won! It is so romantic!
“Happy birthday, Darling!” Lucian’s eyes were deep with affection as he presented a rose to Roxanne. Next, he opened the gift box, revealing its contents. It was a dazzling gemstone enveloped in a gentle blue glow; it looked just like a star.
“Wow, what a beautiful gemstone! Daddy, this looks like the material used for the Astorian Star!” “Astorian Star is located at Moranta. How did you manage to find something similar, Daddy? It is very hard to come by.”
“Mommy, the gemstone is beautiful!”
Hearing the children’s professional comments, Roxanne could somewhat guess that her husband must have put in a lot of effort to get this gemstone. Feeling a wave of sweetness in her heart, she picked up the gemstone and rewarded her husband with a kiss.
“Thank you, Honey!” As soon as she spoke, the lights in the hall came back on and the birthday song began to play. Roxanne believed a professional singer had been hired as the singer sang with such a melodious voice.
But as she turned around, she was surprised to find that it was her mother-in-law, Sonya, who was singing. Roxanne was pleasantly surprised by her mother-in-law’s unexpected talent.
