Chapter 1229
A Life Debt Repaid
Everyone was charmed by Yelena in her little pink dress as she tamely brought the rings to Jay and Zoe.
âThank you Yelena for bringing your parents your rings,â the emcee said warmly, dropping to a crouch before Yelena. âDo you have anything to tell them?â
Yelena leveled her round, large eyes at Jay and Zoe, before talking into the microphone. âI want a little sister.â
Everyone laughed at her words-with that goofiness, she was definitely Zoeâs daughter.
Jay and Zoe laughed too-honestly, who taught her that?
In fact, Zoe had expected the emcee to ask something like that and even told Yelena while they were alone that she must wish them to be happy together forever.
She had made sure that Yelena remembered that, only for the girl to say something else entirely.
The emcee chuckled too and asked, âNot a brother?â
Yelena blinked. âWell, that is acceptable.â
The adultlike tone left the whole hall laughing again, and Yelena suddenly said, âActually, I want both.
Daddy and Mommy should have twins! Then I donât have to choose.â
There was yet another chorus of laughter, and the emcee could not help teasing, âWell, Iâm sure your parents will remember your wish. So be a good girl and donât disturb them tonight, and your brother and sister will come soon.â
âReally?â Yelena asked, before frowning. âI donât believe you.â
âWhy not?â
âGrandma told me the same thing⦠no, she told me many times not to disturb my parents when they are together in their room. But Iâve not gotten any siblings so farâ¦â
Yelena trailed off, getting angrier with every word as the laughter below stage rang even louder.
Children are really innocent, are they not?
Even Zoe felt a little awkward-did she give birth to Yelena so that Yelena could harass her?
Forget wanting to steal Jay from her-the little girl would even embarrass her in public!
âYelena, stop it,â she snapped at Yelena.
Yelena poutedâshe was just telling the truth, but her mommy always got upset with her afterward.
âGo on. You can get your candy now,â Zoe said, really worried that Yelena would say more and embarrass her further.
âBut I still have more to say,â Yelena huffed.
âWhat more do you have to say?â Zoe asked, wary about letting her speak at all.
âIâm supposed to bless you and Daddy, right?â Yelena said seriously.
âWhat?â
âYou made me memorize it the whole night, and you wouldnât let me sleep, â Yelena complained.
Zoe suddenly remembered and urged, âGo on, hurry.â
Yelena thought about it, and flashed a perfect smile, âDaddy, Mommy, I wish you will be happy together forever.â
âThank you, Yelena,â Jay said, patting her head and clearly nicer to her. â Youâre amazing.â
âI love you too, Daddy,â Yelena said and stood on her toes to plant a kiss on Jayâs cheek.
And with that, she hurried off the stage, seemingly having zero intention to kiss her mommy.
Zoe was left glaring
