Chapter 721 Met Valerie Again



Chapter 721 Met Valerie Again

Valerie brought up the topic of Leon's birthday again during dinner. However, Wynn interrupted her.

"Didn't he already say that he wanted to celebrate it with someone else? We should stop worrying

about it then."

The elegant smile on Valerie's face didn't falter at all. "Michelle won't be able to come back on Leon's

birthday. She'll only arrive the day after, so I thought that maybe we should celebrate with him. And

then he can celebrate with Michelle the next day."

Bryant shot a surprise look at his cousin.

According to recent observations, Valerie was in love with Leon. 'Why would she let him be alone with

another woman if she likes him?

Women are really unpredictable.'

Nonetheless, Bryant remained silent. Meanwhile, Wynn asked Leon, "She hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes. She just called me this afternoon, informing me that she wouldn't make it for my birthday. But

she'll try to make it up to me the day after. She even bought me an apology gift." Every time Leon

mentioned Michelle, there was a sparkle of tenderness in his eyes. Likewise, nothing could hide the

smile pulling at the corners of his lips.

He directed that smile towards Wynn. "Do you know what gift she bought for me?"

"Food? The local delicacy there?" Wynn raised his eyebrows. "I think it must be food."

"No. It's a necktie. And do you know what it means when a woman gives a man a tie?" Leon was so

smug.

'So Leon knows what it means. Did he ask Michelle to buy him a tie on purpose?' Valerie found herself

tightening her grip on her chopsticks.

"Of course, you wouldn't know. No one has sent you one after all." Leon smiled playfully at Wynn,

teasing him.

Wynn glared at Leon and snorted. "Did you ask for the tie yourself? I bet she doesn't even know what it

means to give one to you."

Leon continued to stare at him with his amber eyes. The smile on his face was still there.

But it had turned sharper and fiercer than before.

Wynn picked up a piece of meat and put it into Leon's bowl. "But it doesn't matter. I can just tell her

what it means."

With that, Leon's face softened.

"Let's go to the Hot Spring Resort for Leon's birthday. We can go there tomorrow afternoon and come

back the day after." Valerie had just spoken at the right time without interrupting Wynn's conversation

with Leon. She smiled at Leon and asked, "How is it? Do you like it? Let's go to the Hot Spring Resort

to celebrate your birthday."

"Are you referring to the Hot Spring Resort in the neighboring city?" As soon as Bryant finished eating,

he wiped his hands with a wet towel. "That Hot Spring Resort is a good choice. It has a good reputation

and a great atmosphere. We can even do some stargazing at night. I heard there are fireflies there as

well."

"That's right. We can enjoy the stars and the fireflies." Valerie highlighted some of the best features of

the resort, trying to leave a better impression on Leon.

She knew that Leon loved his sister Nina the most. She also knew that Nina was fond of stars and

fireflies.

Back when she was still trapped inside the castle, Leon would often come to her to talk about Nina. He

said that every year, Nina would go to an island just to watch the stars on her birthday. That island even

had fireflies and an elk.

Leon had been living in Lexingport City for a few months now. She would sometimes catch him staring

at the direction of the C Island. He missed his family very much, but the person he missed the most

was his sister.

"Stars and fireflies?" Leon repeated this gently. "Let's go to that Hot Spring Resort and see their

fireflies. I should also ask John to have some fireflies in the North Yard so that Nini can enjoy them in

the future."

Their plans for his birthday was finally settled then.

And while Valerie looked calm and composed, she was overjoyed deep down.

She was the one who came up with the idea of the Hot Spring Resort. That meant she was fully

responsible about the whole arrangement of Leon's birthday party. It was only natural that she would be

very happy. The next morning would be very busy for her.

Nonetheless, Bryant was there to help her with that. Upon seeing that she tried to finish all her tasks

that morning, he couldn't help but be worried about her. She must have been exhausted.

"You don't have to rush everything. We can just go there at night."

"That's okay. I have arranged everything. You guys can go there this afternoon," Valerie said with a big

smile on her face.

"We will go there first?" Bryant asked. "What about you? Won't you go with us?"

"I have to do something this afternoon." As if on cue, Valerie received a message. She smiled after

reading it, becoming even more cheerful than before. She then stood up and said, "I'm going out now.

Enjoy your lunch, and once you're done, go downstairs. Charles will be waiting for you outside the

hotel."

Bryant nodded. "Got it."

Valerie then went to her closet and changed into a new dress. She went out with some light make-up

on purpose.

"You've been dressing up for so long. Are you going to meet up with a man?" Bryant asked before she

closed the door.

Valerie smiled. "No. I'm actually heading out to meet with a girl. I made a friend yesterday while

shopping."

"Okay then. Have fun." Bryant had an impression that they weren't really close friends. 'It took her so

long to dress up. She must want to outshine the other girl.'

Upon getting in the elevator, Valerie checked her phone again, rereading the message. "She went to

the flower shop alone," it said, and it gave a specific location.

After getting into the car, she entered the location in her GPS and drove to the flower shop where

Michelle was.

There were different kinds of flowers in the shop. Their mingling scents permeated in the air, wafting

through Valerie's nose. The front door and back door were wide open. Every time the wind blew, it

carried the flowers' fragrance outside.

Valerie glanced around the flower shop until she spotted Michelle who was currently talking to the

owner.

"Please send the flowers I just picked to my home by tomorrow morning. You can't be late, okay?" said

Michelle in a sweet voice

"Okay. I'll make sure we won't be late." The owner smiled gently. "Do you want to decorate the venue

yourself? We can help you. It's also part of our services." Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"Thank you, but I want to do it myself. After I finish decorating the place, I have to bake a cake in the

afternoon." Michelle then took out her phone. "I'll pay the deposit now."

"The QR code is here." The owner then pointed at the QR code on the table. It was then he noticed

Valerie, who was also looking at the flowers. "Hello there, take your time and look around for whatever

flowers you want to buy. If you want some recommendations, you can ask me."

Valerie walked up to the owner, ignoring Michelle. "Hello. I want to buy some flowers for a birthday

party."

The owner seemed surprised by this. "Wow! What a coincidence. This girl just asked for the same

thing."

"Really? What a coincidence!" Valerie smiled.

Michelle, who was in the process of paying, also thought the same. When she turned around, she saw

a beautiful woman standing beside her. The other woman looked familiar to her, so she tried to

remember carefully who she was.

"Oh, it's you." Under the incandescent lamp in the shop, Michelle's eyes lit up like the stars in the sky.

Valerie found herself in a trance. She had to admit that Michelle was very beautiful when she smiled.

Michelle's petite frame also added to her charms. It made her look fragile and delicate, so men would

have the desire to protect her from the world.

Valerie was annoyed by Michelle's smile as it made her like a scheming woman.

But she didn't let that deter her from her original purpose.

"Oh, it's you!" Acting surprised and delighted, Valerie continued, "We took a fancy to the same tie

yesterday, and now we are here. What a coincidence!"

Michelle also felt the same way. She looked at her happily and said, "Yes. Is your friend also

celebrating their birthday tomorrow? It's my brother's birthday tomorrow, too."

"Actually, it's not just a friend. It's my ex-boyfriend." Valerie bit her lips and smiled shyly. "We broke up

four years ago, but he had been looking for me these past years. We just met up again last month."

She paused, waiting for Michelle to say anything else, but the other woman was listening to her

carefully.

Deep in her heart, Valerie sneered, 'What a food!'

So she continued, "Tomorrow is his birthday. I have been looking for the right gift. I noticed that he

didn't have a suitable tie, so I wanted to buy him one to make him happy. I apologize for yesterday

when I tried to fight you off with that tie."

"It's okay." Then, Michelle asked expectantly, "Does that mean you two are back together again?"

It must have been tough for them to be apart for four years.

She could only imagine how sad she would be if she was separated from Leon for that long.

A year alone would be unbearable for her.
