A Baby Party


    The great mood I had vanished, and I couldn’t escape this strange feeling all afternoon. It felt like I got


    sucked into a ck hole. Everything seemed calm on the surface, but I had no idea how many things


    were linked to me.


    In the afternoon, I received another invitation, this time from Matthew. He was throwing a big


    celebration for his new baby, almost as if he wanted the entire city to know he had a son now.


    He called me as soon as I got the invitation, his voice filled with pride.


    “Chlo, you’ve seen the invitation, haven’t you? You’ve got to be there. After all, this is a big event for


    the Murphy family. I finally have a son, haha! And bring your daughter along!”


    “Yeah, this could be a chance tobine it with your wedding for a double celebration,” I said.


    “Haha! Chlo, thank you for the suggestion. Everything’s in the works. We’re having a grand wedding!”


    He


    was trying to provoke me.


    I knew he was doing it on purpose. He felt invincible now, and taking a dig at me was easy.


    “I’ll be there! I’m curious to see what your son looks like.”


    There was no need to let him gloat.


    After hanging up, I grabbed the invitation and smiled. I almost forgot about these two clowns. Matthew


    was too wrapped up in his own happiness, giving me a peaceful month.


    Carol let me know it was time to go.


    I shook off my thoughts and asked, “Where did you make the reservation?”


    “A club over in Quail Creeks. I got a rmendation from Ms. Lauren!” Carol proudly told me.


    She certainly knew who to ask. Lauren was a real treasure trove, and I even suggested she start at


    consulting business in that area. She’d surely meet their requirements.


    “She mentioned she mighte tonight, too!” Carol added.


    Let’s get going then,” I said, setting aside the gloomy mood from the afternoon. I grabbed my bag and


    walked out with Carol, tossing her the car keys.


    Mr. Ryan has a client meeting and will join uster. I’ve sent him the address. Grayson said he’d head


    straight there, and Benny, and Nico left earlier. It’s just the three of us now, Carol said as we walked,


    Eleanor was waiting for us at the elevator. We chatted the whole way, andughter filled the air.

    She sighed. “Ms. Chloe, I wish I’d met you earlier! This is the best work environment I’ve ever had. I’ve


    never felt so rxed and happy, and everything’s been smooth. I feel like I wasted my time before.”


    “Don’t say that. Do you know what I was before? A housewife who fell prey to that scumbag’s


    maniption. It’s all fate, you know.”


    “If I hadn’t seen that scumbag at the hospital that day, maybe I wouldn’t have been affected.” Eleanor


    sighed. “You’re right. It might be fate!”


    Her words made me think of As again. Did we meet by fate, too?


    I closed my eyes and prayed that he’d wake up soon.


    We arrived at Quail Creek, with its endless coastline and charming vis turned into distinctive clubs.


    The car was parked in front of a vi surrounded by lush trees. It was a delightful scene, like something


    out of


    a dream.


    The scenery excited Eleanor because she was new to Foswood. We walked to the entrance, and Carol


    called Benny, who had arrived earlier.


    Inside was a stone path lined with bamboo and palm trees. Though it was early evening,ndscape


    lights


    cast a mysterious glow.


    I couldn’t help but think of Pleca Park and the first time As took me there. The path wasn’t wide


    enough for two people to walk side by side, and I got lost in the scenery, I ended up walking behind the


    others.


    Suddenly, a tall figure hurried out, moving toward the exit. As we passed each other, a familiar scent


    wafted over.


    My heart leapt, and I quickly turned to look…
