You Are My One and Only

Adeline received a phone call as she was leaving Arnold Manor. The caller ID showed that it was her cousin Annabelle who was calling. She doesn’t normally contact me. What’s her reason for calling today?

She didn’t want to answer at first, but Annabelle called again shortly after the phone had automatically hung up on her.

Adeline had no choice but to answer the phone. “What’s the matter, Annabelle?”

Annabelle was Tobias’s youngest child. She used to get along well with Patricia and was always following Patricia around.

This was why Adeline didn’t like Annabelle very much. Furthermore, Annabelle constantly claimed that Adeline was the mistress’ daughter, which infuriated her even more.

“Addy, it’s my birthday today. Why haven’t you arrived yet? Where’s my present?”

Adeline frowned slightly as she realized Annabelle had called to ask for a gift.

“How old are you? Why is a kid having a birthday celebration? Did Grandpa allow you to have a party?”

Old Mr. Aniston was a gentle and succinct man, who never allowed birthday parties for the younger generations. Take Adeline for an example; she was already twenty-three and never had a birthday party.
