Chapter 120 Our Seventh Wedding Anniversary
“No matter the ups and downs we’ve been through, you have never left me behind. No matter how difficult it was, our family is
still happy together. Today, with a grateful heart, I’d like to thank my lover who has been with me for the past seven years. Thank
you for taking me into the palace of marriage and giving me a family of our own. Thank you for giving me such an adorable yet
mischievous son, and for giving me the reason to continue living. Thank you for your care, love, support, and protection from the
winds and rains. I love you, Miles!” Just as Lyla finished her sentence, there was thundering applause. Everyone was moved by
her words.
Then, the host took the microphone over and asked, “Mr. Ryan, do you have anything you’d like to say?” Miles took a deep
breath and forced a light smile. “I’m not sure what to say, but first of all, I’d like to thank everyone for attending our wedding
anniversary celebration. Also, feel happy to have a wife like Lyla!” The host then chuckled. “Seems like Mr. and Mrs. Ryan are
very loving and affectionate. Now, let us get to know the ups and downs they have gone through together in the past seven
years. Please, look at the big screen!” With this, the audience’s gaze turned toward the big screen. On the screen, pictures were
being shown in chronological order from the beginning of their marriage; to having a child together; to their family of three.”
Below the stage, everyone was envious and whispered to each other. The woman sitting beside Florence sighed. “You’re lucky
to have such a good daughter-in-law. Her eyes are always glued to Miles.” However, Florence shook her head and said, “That’s
because my son is an excellent and outstanding person. If she doesn’t stare at my son, who else would she stare at?” “You’re
right. This couple is very loving,” the woman said. On the other hand, Leila also looked at the stage with a hint of a smile in her
eyes. She then lowered her head before whispering secretively to Gael, “Look at how good Lyla is with her words. Compared to
Miles, she’s so much better!” Gael did not say a word. In fact, his mind was occupied with other things. He kept thinking that it
was wrong of him to agree to have their wedding anniversary on the same day as his ex-wife’s death anniversary. He had
forgotten about Grace’s death anniversary at that time. He only recalled it later, but the Ryan Family had already informed the
guests and they could no longer make any changes. Hence, Gael had no choice but to agree with them.
However, after Camila gave him a call, Gael felt uneasy. “I’m talking to you.” Leila nudged him with her elbow. Only then did Gael
manage to react. “What?” With a face full of happiness, Leila stared at the big screen. “I’m saying that these two are so
compatible with each other. It’s been seven years, yet they still look so loving.” Just as she finished talking, there came the
sound of a trumpet from the entrance of the hotel. It was a melancholic sound that made everyone sad and tearful.
Several men were dressed in black while they held baskets in their hands. The baskets were filled with joss paper and were
scattered once every few steps. The joss paper could be seen flying and falling from the top. When the audience turned around,
an adult and a child appeared at the hotel entrance. The woman was dressed in black with a garland of white flowers in front of
her chest while her left hand was leading a child that was dressed like an adult too.
“Who is this?”
“I don’t know. Perhaps they’ve gone to the wrong venue.” “Doesn’t she look like the Brooklyn Family’s eldest daughter?” “Ah! It
really is her! That must be the child she had with the beggar!” “What are you doing here? Are you trying to create a scene?” Gael
got up from his chair and walked toward the door in a hurry. His entire face was raging with anger. “What are you doing, Camila
Brooklyn?” Camila gave a cold glance at Gael and asked, “Who... are you?” All of a sudden, Gael choked with anger as he
added, “Camila, today’s the wedding anniversary of your sister. There’s a lot of guests here, so stop causing trouble!”.
