Chapter 120 Our Seventh Wedding Anniversary
âNo matter the ups and downs we've been through, you have never left me behind. No matter how
difficult it was, our family is still happy together. Today, with a grateful heart, I'd like to thank my
lover who has been with me for the past seven years. Thank you for taking me into the palace of
marriage and giving me a family of our own. Thank you for giving me such an adorable yet
mischievous son, and for giving me the reason to continue living. Thank you for your care, love,
support, and protection from the winds and rains. I love you, Miles!" Just as Lyla finished her
sentence, there was thundering applause. Everyone was moved by her words.
Then, the host took the microphone over and asked, âMr. Ryan, do you have anything you'd like to
say?â Miles took a deep breath and forced a light smile. âI'm not sure what to say, but first of all, I'd
like to thank everyone for attending our wedding anniversary celebration. Also, feel happy to have a
wife like Lyla!â The host then chuckled. âSeems like Mr. and Mrs. Ryan are very loving and
affectionate. Now, let us get to know the ups and downs they have gone through together in the
past seven years. Please, look at the big screen!â With this, the audience's gaze turned toward the
big screen. On the screen, pictures were being shown in chronological order from the beginning of
their marriage; to having a child together; to their family of three.â
Below the stage, everyone was envious and whispered to each other. The woman sitting beside
Florence sighed. âYou're lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law. Her eyes are always glued to
Miles.â However, Florence shook her head and said, âThat's because my son is an excellent and
outstanding person. If she doesn't stare at my son, who else would she stare at?" âYou're right. This
couple is very loving,â the woman said. On the other hand, Leila also looked at the stage with a hint
of a smile in her eyes. She then lowered her head before whispering secretively to Gael, âLook at
how good Lyla is with her words. Compared to Miles, sheâs so much better!â Gael did not say a
word. In fact, his mind was occupied with other things. He kept thinking that it was wrong of him to
agree to have their wedding anniversary on the same day as his ex-wife's death anniversary. He had
forgotten about Grace's death anniversary at that time. He only recalled it later, but the Ryan Family
had already informed the guests and they could no longer make any changes. Hence, Gael had no
choice but to agree with them.
However, after Camila gave him a call, Gael felt uneasy. âI'm talking to you.â Leila nudged him with
her elbow. Only then did Gael manage to react. âWhat?â With a face full of happiness, Leila stared at
the big screen. âI'm saying that these two are so compatible with each other. It's been seven years,
yet they still look so loving.â Just as she finished talking, there came the sound of a trumpet from
the entrance of the hotel. It was a melancholic sound that made everyone sad and tearful.
Several men were dressed in black while they held baskets in their hands. The baskets were filled
with joss paper and were scattered once every few steps. The joss paper could be seen flying and
falling from the top. When the audience turned around, an adult and a child appeared at the hotel
entrance. The woman was dressed in black with a garland of white flowers in front of her chest while
her left hand was leading a child that was dressed like an adult too.
âWho is this?"
âI donât know. Perhaps they've gone to the wrong venue.â âDoesnât she look like the Brooklyn
Family's eldest daughter?â âAh! It really is her! That must be the child she had with the beggar!â
"What are you doing here? Are you trying to create a scene?â Gael got up from his chair and walked
toward the door in a hurry. His entire face was raging with anger. âWhat are you doing, Camila
Brooklyn?â Camila gave a cold glance at Gael and asked, âWho... are you?â All of a sudden, Gael
choked with anger as he added, âCamila, todayâs the wedding anniversary of your sister. There's a
lot of guests here, so stop causing trouble!â.
