Chapter 278 It Seems Like Someone is Watching...
Antonio also noticed this but didn't think much of it.
"Children grow up and naturally have their own concerns. If there's any problem, they'll come to us. Don't worry," he reassured.
Sarah nodded.
Sarah glanced at Antonio with a mischievous look on her face. "I haven't asked you yet, what have you been busy with lately? You disappeared like a disappearing act."
Antonio raised his hands in surrender. "Of course, I've been preparing for Ethan and Harper's birthdays."
"This is their first birthday by my side, so it must be grand and magnificent. I want the whole world to know I have such adorable twins."
Looking at Antonio's satisfied expression, Sarah silently thought, 'Actually, they are triplets…
'However, Brian isn't returning home now, and he has no intention of accepting Antonio either.'
Sarah felt it would be best to keep it from Antonio for the time being.
Since Antonio wanted to handle the birthday party on his own, Sarah decided to let him. It was a good opportunity for her to make a phone call to Brian.
"Brian, do you miss Mommy?"
"Of course, I miss Mommy."
In reality, Brian had just arrived at the airport in Sarah's city. He traveled by Bentley to his place of residence.
Sarah was completely unaware, and when she heard her son's words, tears filled her eyes.
As they celebrated her siblings' birthdays, Brian would be alone overseas. The idea made her uneasy.
"Brian, your birthday is coming up. Do you want Mommy to send you something you like?"
'No way!'
"Mommy, there's no need for that. I still remember when I turned four, you sent me that remote-controlled car. It was too childish."
Brian repeatedly declined.
Meanwhile, the car had already parked in front of the city's largest flower shop.
Remembering how Brian had dismantled the remote-controlled car and played with its parts, Sarah thought it was for the best. "Alright then, just remember to call Mommy if you need anything, okay?"
"Don't worry, Mommy. Godfather has been keeping me company all this time."
They exchanged a few more words before Brian hung up.
"Hello, can you prepare Baby's Breath for me in three days? I want as much as you have," Brian requested.
Baby's Breath was Sarah's favorite flower. In her own words, it didn't strive nor compete with other flowers, yet possessed a unique beauty.
The shop attendant looked at Brian apologetically, "I'm sorry, young man, but forget about getting it in three days. We've been out of stock for Baby's Breath for the past seven days."
"Huh?" Brian paused for a moment but didn't pay much attention. "That's okay, thank you."
However, when Brian went all over the city and was told that there wasn't any Baby's Breath available, he was thoroughly enraged!
"Who is so bored that they have to order all the Baby's Breath?!"
The shop attendant at the last flower shop smiled and said, "Young man, don't you know? It's Antonio Valencia, the CEO of Valencia Inc. He said it's for his children's birthday. But his wife loves Baby's Breath the most... Isn't this an overt show of affection?"
Brian thought, 'Um, so, he arranged it for Mommy?'
"Yeah, haven't you seen their videos? They're so in love— Eh? Where did that kid go?"
Brian turned and walked away.
Alex followed behind Brian and said, "Brian, we don't have flowers anymore, but we can buy something else. Don't be upset."
"Yeah, I can get Mommy something else." Brian sighed slowly. "Let's go to the clothing store. I want to have a couture dress custom-made for Mommy."
Unexpectedly, the result was the same…
"Sorry, kid, all our designers and tailors have been hired by the CEO of Valencia Inc."
Brian clenched his fists. 'Impressive! Mommy still likes white chocolate…'
"I'm sorry, but all the white chocolate in the city has been bought by the CEO of Valencia Inc. to make cakes."
Brian had never been so angry before.
"I'm furious! I can't stand him!"
Brian kicked the tire of his luxury car hard, feeling rather helpless.
However, after calming down, Brian's rationality began to regain control.
'Besides him, no one has cared so much about Mommy before. After all, it isn't Mommy's birthday, but he could think of this, which was nice.'
"Let's go and see if this Mr. Valencia is really as good as he seems."
'Granted, he is not bad, he's far from meeting my standards. Moreover, shouldn't this be done anyway?
'We have to see how he treats Mommy on a daily basis. If it's all just for show, I must punish him!'
…
In the three days leading up to the birthday party, Antonio and Sarah still had to attend various meetings and ribbon-cutting ceremonies.
Naturally, the busy schedule made them feel tired.
"Are you exhausted? Let me give you a massage."
In the lounge, Antonio also experienced stiffness in his back. Observing Sarah massage her neck, he rose to offer her a muscle-relieving stretch.
"It's bearable, but my face feels a bit numb from smiling."
Sarah leaned comfortably against the couch, feeling the perfect pressure from Antonio's hands.
Antonio then brought cakes, drinks, and snacks from the lounge to Sarah's side. "Have some snacks first. I'll take you out for a nice dinner tonight."
Sarah nodded. She felt like she was going to gain weight with all the food Antonio was feeding her lately.
However, before her smile could fade, she suddenly turned her head and looked towards the door.
"What's wrong?" Antonio asked, confused.
Sarah didn't know what was going on either. "I just feel… as if someone's watching us."
