The other gifts were other things that I could never have as a child. I was surprised that Tyler knew about these little details so well, and I was even more touched by his gesture.
"Tyler..." I sniffed and spoke in a muffled voice, "Thank you."
Tyler chuckled. "What’s there to thank, silly?"
"You're silly.” It was rare for me to act childish.
"Alright, alright. I'm the silly one." Tyler played along with me. "I ordered you a cake too. It should arrive soon. I still have a few things to deal with here. I'll call you again later tonight."
When the call ended, I asked the bodyguards to carry the bags of gifts into the villa.
Miss Woods saw this and asked with a smile, "Young Mistress, are these your purchases from online shopping?"
"No.” I smiled while shaking my head. "These are birthday gifts."
"Birthday gifts?” Miss Woods took a moment to react and asked hesitantly, "Young Mistress, is... Is it your birthday today?”
I nodded while smiling.
Miss Woods smacked her thigh. "Oh, man!" "How could I have forgotten your birthday, Young Mistress? Silly me.” Miss Woods walked in circles anxiously. "Does Young Master know that it's your birthday today?"
I froze for a moment and slowly shook my head.
I did not know the answer to that at all, but today was Cindy's birthday as well. He would surely remember her birthday.
"Then I should quickly give Young Master a call and tell him about it." Miss Woods took out her phone from her pocket.
"It's fine." I reached out and grabbed her arm to stop her. "I'm okay with it. It's okay if I don’t celebrate my birthday. You and Miss Zuri can just cook more dishes tonight. We'll have a nice, joyous dinner together."
"That's not good enough.” Miss Woods disagreed.
