Hearing that the dolls weren’t for eating, Charlie was a little relieved, otherwise it would really feel strange if he or Stefanie’s dolls
were eaten.
Next to him, Stefanie looked at Charlie affectionately, and said softly, “Charlie, I will sing you a happy birthday song like when I
was a child! When I sing you can make a birthday wish, and when I finish singing you can blow out the candles.”
Charlie nodded gently, smiled and said, “Okay!”
Stefanie slightly adjusted her breathing, then she sang softly and affectionately, “Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Charlie, Happy birthday to you!”
Charlie put his hands together at this moment, closed his eyes, and silently made a small wish.
Now he has no material desires.
His greatest desire is to find out the truth about the death of his parents and avenge them, but if this desire is put on such a
warm birthday, it would be more or less uncomfortable.
So, he made a silent wish in his heart that all his family and friends would be safe and healthy.
That was enough for him.
After making the wish, Stefanie’s birthday song was sung, and Charlie blew out the 27 candles on the five-tier cake one by one.
Stefanie, Orrin and Angie applauded together, and Angie said with a smile, “Charlie, auntie wishes you today and every year to
come that all your wishes will come true!”
Orrin also nodded his head and said, “Charlie, uncle wishes you all the best and peace in your life!”
Charlie’s heart was moved, and he thanked them.
Stefanie came to Charlie’s ear, pointed to her doll, and said in a voice soft enough that only Charlie could hear, “Charlie, I wish
for you to marry this girl!”
Charlie smiled knowingly, without comment.
He had long understood Stefanie’s mind, but there were many things that couldn’t be explained clearly, so he simply stayed
quiet.
At this time, Angie handed over a knife for cutting the cake and said, “Charlie, you are the birthday boy, you cut the cake first,
everyone will eat a couple of bites to celebrate, and then we will officially start the meal!”
“Okay, Auntie Angie!” Charlie quickly agreed, and then used a knife to cut off a few pieces of cake from the bottom layer, put
them on a small plate, and handed them to the three people one by one.
After that, Orrin pulled him and sat back down at the dining table and started to drink and talk.
He took the initiative to lift the glass and said to Charlie: “Charlie, there are too many words of thanks, so Uncle won’t continue
here, this glass of wine, I’ll toast you on behalf of our family of three!”
Charlie did not push back, picked up the glass and said seriously, “Thank you Uncle Orrin!”
The two then drank the white wine in their cups in one go.
Orrin said: “Charlie, your parents left early, with my relationship with your father, after he left, I should rightly assume the
obligation to take care of, raise and educate you, and treat you as my own, but for so many years, I have not been able to find
you.
In your twenty-seven years of life, I missed nearly twenty years.
I have too much regret......”
Speaking of this, Orrin lightly sighed and said seriously: “In the future, uncle only hopes to spend a few more birthdays with you
in my lifetime!”
Charlie’s heart was moved, and said with a smile: “Uncle Orrin, just a few birthdays? It should be at least a few dozen to make
up for it!”
