Chapter 98 Ely’s Birthday Part 1

Brian turned around and walked toward the mansion. When he opened the door, he saw Alexa’s arm changing into a large-sized cannon. It had a silver metallic cover and had blue light glowing like stripes.

“See? I can turn my body into anything mechanical as long as its power doesn’t surpass my own core.” Alexa cheerfully explained while showing off her new advanced body.

Only her hand was changed into a cannon. The rest of her body was still the same. The clothes around her arms had disappeared and everything else was still there.

“Core?” Charlotte looked at her with confusion as she asked.

“Alexa’s core is made out of a technology that generates energy from her blood. Her bloodline is still there and it will continue to be there but, it can’t help her on anything except providing her energy and improving her cultivation.”

“It can’t even heal her like before. Her whole body is eighty percent mechanical but the remaining twenty percent is the reason why that eighty percent works.”

“In other words, she is a perfect mix of both living and non-living creatures. She isn’t technically a cyborg but I have installed Lily in her programs so that she can do anything a cyborg can.” Brian explained as he walked toward the couch and sat.

Alexa nodded her head and said “Yes, it was this year’s birthday present from dad. The previous year, he made me this dress that can comfortably keep me covered even if I transform my whole body.”

“Your birthday present?” Charlotte looked at her with surprise. Suddenly, the bell in her mind rang.

“Wait, isn’t her birthday tomorrow? Ely’s birthday is tomorrow, right?”

Brian’s eyes widened as well. His mind shuffled several pieces of information and finally, a date came to his mind.

October 8!

?(O)??? Today is October 7. His eyes widened as he nodded his head.

“I almost forgot about her birthday. What should we prepare for her birthday?”

Charlotte thought for a moment and said “How about this? You take Wraith and Ely somewhere else tomorrow morning and return during the evening. We will prepare a big birthday party for her.”

Brian nodded his head and asked, “Do you think she will come?”

When Charlotte heard his question, she froze for a moment. She didn’t answer it. Instead, Lena next to her spoke.

“I think she will come. First, she has no reason to miss her daughter’s birthday. Second, she would want to be near him. I don’t know the true reason why she didn’t appear but her birthday seems to be a perfect chance to come into your life.”

Charlotte clenched her fist but suddenly, an image appeared in front of her. It was the image of Young Ely with her face covered in tears. She took a deep breath and shook her head.

“It doesn’t matter whether she wants to come or not. We are going to invite her. Send her a mail telling her to arrive tomorrow evening.”

Brian looked at her with confusion. He thought she wouldn’t agree to her coming into this house. But, he doesn’t know that Charlotte had made an oath to do everything she can in order to keep Ely smiling.

Although their future has changed, not all of them might change just because of Ely’s intervention. It’s just like if you know that you are going to be a billionaire in the future but never work hard for it, you will never become a billionaire.

She knows she must do everything to change the future or else, it would repeat the same tragedy. More importantly, she doesn’t want to the part of Brian’s murder.

Just thinking about it makes her shudder.

She looked at his confused look and said “Ely needs her mother, her real mother at least on her birthday. Let’s not get our personal feelings involved. After that, if she decides to stay, I will talk to her.”

Brian was surprised by her ferocity but still agreed. After they decided that, he finally left for his lab. In the lab, he kept working until he was called for dinner.

“Daddy!” Ely rushed toward Brian and jumped into his embrace like usual. She pointed at Alexa and asked “Daddy, she said that she is my sister. But, she is clearly eighteen and only seven years younger than you. How is it even possible?”

Brian smiled and patted her head.

“Well, she is your sister, indeed. While checking my file, do you read the file which recorded the vampire I cured? Well, she is that vampire. This is a bit complicated…. Well, not for you. Just think of this as you recognizing Charlotte as a mom. Although we don’t have a blood relationship, she thinks of me as her father.”

Ely thought for a moment and asked “Is it because you pulled her back to life from death?”

Brian smiled and nodded his head “Yep! She is fun. You can ask her anything you want to know as well. She will be a great big sister for you.”

“But… I want a little sister. I want to be a role model for my little sister.” Ely lowered her head and spoke with a low tone.

At this moment, Brian looked at Charlotte and they immediately moved their heads as their face turned red. Brian knew Young Ely didn’t tell Ely about her younger sister, so it was quite unexpected.

Brian looked at Ely and thought ‘Maybe this is the reason why she took care of her sister and gave her a good life. Well, a little sister huh!’

At this moment, his thoughts got a bit naughty but he kept his thoughts under control and shook his head.

He can’t do it right now. He gave birth to her when Ely was fourteen which means there will still be six years gap which seems good enough.

Brian sighed and walked up to the dining table.

“So Ely, tomorrow you, Wraith, and I will go to a pool. And, it is also Sunday, so you will be free tomorrow.”

“Really? But, just three of us…..” Ely looked at Charlotte hoping that she would also come.

From the first day when they met to now, things have changed a lot. Previously, she didn’t even want her to be close enough but now, she wants her to go whoever she goes.

“Don’t worry, Ely! We can go together some other day.” Charlotte smiled as she served food on her plate.

“Okay!”

“Umm… Uncle, can I go back to my galaxy tomorrow?” Wraith looked at Brian and asked.

Brian rolled his eyes. He was still not good with Wraith calling him uncle but he was slightly stunned as to why Wraith wanted to go back.

“I have something that I didn’t bring. I will be back by evening.” Wraith looked at him with puppy eyes and asked.

“You too….. Then, won’t I be alone in the pool?” Ely almost teared up when she heard him.

“Ely, did you already forget about Daddy after getting a friend? Daddy is going to be sad.” Brian looked at her and pouted.

“Daddy, I know you will come with me but you can’t play in the children’s pool nor you can play on children’s water slides. Won’t I be left alone if he doesn’t go there?” Ely folded her arms and pouted.

“Then, how about you call Lily? Since tomorrow is a holiday, she might go with you. Oh, you can also call Adam.” Charlotte smiled at her as she suggested and sat down.

“Adam said he has something to do with his dad tomorrow. But, I can call Lily. She might agree.” Ely responded as her expression changed constantly.

“First, dinner!” Brian patted her head and they continued with their dinner. That evening, they talked a lot but nobody spoke about Ely’s birthday.

Next Day,

Wraith went back to his planet through long-distance teleportation and Brian took his car to Tony Carter’s house. Lily agreed to go with them so he had to pick up her first.

Inside the mansion,

Charlotte, Alexa, and Lena looked at each other and nodded.

“It’s time to change the house. Lily, did you order all the items I asked you for?” Charlotte asked.

“Yes, Madam! All the items will be delivered within twenty minutes.” Lily responded which cheered up Charlotte.

After getting proposed by Brian, Lily started calling her Madam which made her extremely happy.

“First, let’s clean up the hall. We need to set a table in the middle. We will remove the couches to the sides. After we receive everything, we will start decorating this place.” Charlotte gave them an order and immediately wore an apron.

She covered her mouth with a mask and held a vacuum cleaner in her hands.

Lena looked at her and asked “He is rich, right? Why didn’t he hire any servants?”

“There is in fact no need to clean this. Lily cleans the entire mansion every single day. I am just trying to set up the mood. As for servants, we don’t need them. I can cook, we have machines to do cleaning and laundry and Lily can always watch over the house.”

“Why would need servants when we can handle everything with Lily’s help?”
