Although Jennifer had passed, Alyssa felt grateful to Lyla for adding a year to Jennifer’s life. Thanks to
Lyla, she enjoyed one more year of childhood happiness with her mom.
Later, it was Lyla who had taken care of her like a mom when she miscarried.
As time passed, Alyssa did not harbor resentment for Lyla anymore. She was a human with feelings and
couldn’t bring herself to hate a woman who was consistently nice to her for two decades.
There was no reason for Alyssa to dislike Lyla, especially when Jennifer herself didn’t blame Lyla for
anything.
“Lyla, we’ll have the party just as Winston wants it,” Alyssa advised. She held onto Lyla’s arm like a
daughter.
Alyssa continued, “This is not only his wish-it’s mine, too. I have never properly celebrated your birthday
in the last 20 years. I feel a little regretful about it.”
“Don’t be silly, darling,” gasped Lyla with widened eyes. “I’m the one who refuses any huge celebrations. It
has nothing to do with you!”
“If so, let us throw this party for you to complete my wish. Alright?”
“Lyla, don’t overthink it! Lyse has made her wishes clear,” Mandy and Colette also encouraged Lyla.
In the end, Lyla was ushered to choose her dress with everyone’s insistence.
“These dresses won’t do,” Alyssa critiqued the luxurious dresses, crossing her arms on her chest. “They
look so gaudy! Winston’s taste is pretty bad, unlike mine.”

“Well, they are good enough,” Lyla hurriedly replied.
Alyssa wagged her finger as her eyes shone with pride.
“You should be wearing a tailored dress from a top designer for your dress. And it has to be the most
unique design in this world. Lyla, have you heard of Sharon?”
“Sharon?” Mandy and Lyla were taken aback. Even Colette, the tomboy. She looked a little confused and
had vaguely heard of Sharon’s fame.
“Yep. Would you like me to ask her to design your dress for the birthday party?” Alyssa beamed.
“Lyse, are you serious? Sharon? The world-renowned fashion designer?” Mandy stared at Alyssa in
disbelief
“There’s only one Sharon in the world, as far as I know,” Alyssa quipped.

“Winston once thought of getting Sharon to design a dress for Lyla, but he gave up after failing to contact-
her. Lyse, do you really have a way to reach out to Sharon?”
Alyssa grinned. Winston would probably find it hard to believe that Sharon had been right under his nose
all along-Sharon was none other than his little girl!
“Of course. Sharon and I go way back. She’ll help if I ask her to,” Alyssa reassured them with a glint in her
eyes.
She gave Lyla a hug and added, “Lyla, I want you decked in Alexa’s jewelry and Sharon’s dress. You’ll be
the talk of the town. I want everyone to witness the charm and beauty of a former top actress!”
“Lyse...” Tears welled up in Lyla’s eyes as she grappled with her emotions.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make you the envy of every woman alive on that day!”
