Chapter 1950 A Piece Of Paper
Zayden then scratched his head and turned around to look at Wilbur. “Wilbur, this isn’t a piece of a check, is it?”
Right then, a thought popped into Joy’s mind. “If this is a check, did you put yourself on it? Have you put yourself on it so that Maya can have you?”
Just as Joy said those words, the two children began giggling, and a smile even appeared on Evan’s face.
However, Wilbur cast them an apologetic look and said, “Sorry, but I’m going to have to let you down. I didn’t think about that. I guess I’ll have to give that gift only when Maya’s birthday comes around again.”
“If that’s not a check, what is it?”
Maya then took out the piece of paper and realized that a list of ingredients was written on it.
On the list were hundreds of rare ingredients found all over the world.
“Maya, I hope that your dessert store will be able to expand to every spot in the world. If there’s anything on this list that you want, I’ll get it for you no matter how hard I have to work for it.”
Maya found the gift meaningful and useful.
“This list of information is brilliant. Thank you, Wilbur.”
“Aren’t you being too courteous by saying thanks to me?”
Hearing that, Maya chuckled.
Nicole then looked at the list of ingredients. The list stated every ingredient’s taste, effects, usage, and more. Clearly, he had spent some time on it.
“Wilbur, I can see that you’ve really done your all for these two gifts. Maya’s lucky to have met you.”
“Don’t say that. I’m the lucky one to have met Maya.”
Nicole was satisfied with Wilbur’s response. With a small smile on her face, she then asked the butler to gift some things to the Parakeet Gems’ staff before sending them off.
“Thank you, Mrs. Seet. We wish Ms. Maya a happy birthday. Our boss has said that Ms. Maya will have a twenty percent discount whenever she comes to shop at Parakeet Gems.”
“Please thank your boss for us.”
At that, the staff from Parakeet Gems happily left the living room and went with the butler to get their gifts.
All of a sudden, Evan, who had been silent until then, spoke.
“Maya’s the Seet family’s princess. Her having a place in your heart is more important than any expensive presents.”
“Mr. Seet, I know what you mean. I have a reason for my tardiness, but… this is still my fault. I will remember this, and I won’t make the same mistake anymore.”
After giving Wilbur another glance, Evan excused himself by saying that he had something to deal with before leading Nicole into the study room. At the same time, he told the two children to head to the toy room, giving both Maya and Wilbur some personal space.
Once the two of them were the only ones left in the living room, Maya looked at Wilbur and asked him why he was late earlier.
“Did something happen at work, or did you suddenly receive some kind of important project?”
Wilbur shook his head. “No. If it were work-related, I would have pushed it aside and come right away; I wouldn’t have been late.”
“Then what’s the reason? Is it something about your family?”
Wilbur nodded. “The old witch and the goblin at home were putting on a show. They nearly fooled me.”
The old witch? The goblin? Who are those?
Maya was confused, so she frowned and waited for Wilbur to explain to her.
After heaving a heavy sigh, Wilbur explained what happened earlier, from Janice’s miscarriage to her moving into the Simpson residence to recover with the help of the maids that Mabel assigned to her.
In the evening, when Wilbur was about to head to Imperial Garden, Mabel suddenly stopped him and told him that Janice had passed out—that no matter what she did, she could not wake the latter. Mabel even asked him if Janice would end up dead.
Mabel had always been good at acting, so when Wilbur saw the panicking look on her face, he thought something really happened to Janice. After a moment of contemplation—after thinking about how she had lost her kid to save Maya—he felt that he could not just let her die. Hence, he had rushed to Janice’s room to check on her.
