“Looks like everyone who’s supposed to be here has arrived, but someone showing up in that getup is seriously sketchy,” Jessica frowned, clearly skeptical.

A giant mascot suit.

You couldn’t see their face.

Not a word was spoken.

It was impossible not to be on guard.

Jeffrey was at a loss for words, just standing there in awkward silence.

‘Jeffrey still isn’t here,‘ Rebecca thought as she scanned the room, then added, “There’s still one person missing.”

“Who?” Jessica asked.

Ian leaned in, looking just as curious.

Rebecca glanced over at Samuel, hesitated, then finally spoke up, “Jeffrey.”

Jessica and Ian exchanged a look.

To be fair, Jeffrey should really be here for Samuel’s fifth birthday–he is Samuel’s actual father, after all. But considering how tense things were when he and Rebecca split, would he really bother showing up?

“It’s me,” Jeffrey said at last, his voice still a bit distorted. “The gifts for you and Samuel have already been sent to the villa.”

Rebecca’s gaze softened for a moment.

Every birthday, Jeffrey used to prepare two gifts.

One for Samuel, one for her.

Even after the divorce, he still kept that habit.

“Why’d you show up in that getup?” Rebecca asked him calmly.

“You said after the divorce you didn’t want to see me anymore, so I do my best to stick to my word whenever I can,” Jeffrey said, totally sincere–no other motives behind it.

His first and foremost promise was always to keep Rebecca’s life peaceful and safe.

Not showing up in front of her was just something he promised on the side.
