Chapter 425: Chapter 419: Birthday Celebration
Translator: 549690339
When Amelia Lee was young, in those years, a single woman raising a child was no easy feat. Not to mention the societal gossip alone was enough to make a weak woman crumble, yet Amelia Lee managed to raise Kay Lee, despite difficulties. Although there was the help from the old man, he only arrived when Kay was more than seven years old.
Before that, Amelia single-handedly raised Kay. If another woman was in her shoes, she might have been reduced to being Cypress Davis’ mistress, perhaps. After all, Cypress Davis was close to ten years older than Amelia.
“I understand.” Finn Lewis nodded seriously, he had to admit, Amelia Lee was a truly good woman. He wondered if Cypress Davis was blind, how could he abandon such a woman.
“The old man’s birthday party is tonight. Stay here for the night and leave with Kay tomorrow. Kay is quite busy with her work now, the old man will understand.” Amelia Lee said with a smile.
“Mom, why don’t you come to Celeston with me?” Kay Lee couldn’t help but propose.
“If I go, who will take care of your grandfather?” Amelia Lee shook her head. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
As the old man’s granddaughter, Kay Lee was naturally one of the hosts. When important guests arrived, she had to go out to welcome them. As Kay Lee’s companion, Finn naturally had to join in the greeting. Around five in the afternoon, when seven or eight four-wheel-drive vehicles came from afar, Finn Lewis perked up, understanding that significant figures were arriving.
The cars weren’t anything special, but the people who came certainly were. The leading vehicles were military off-road vehicles.
These were probably the old man’s war buddies given the four military off-road vehicles that arrived. Otherwise, the other members of the Davis family didn’t have any relationship with the military.
Apparently, the old man also got the news. He came out of the house himself. He was wearing an early form of military uniform today. However, there were no rank insignia or other decorations, just a simple military uniform, along with an early model military hat.
The old man was waiting at the gate, so naturally, others also waited at the gate with him. To the old man, all of these war buddies were significant figures. But these figures remembered his birthday, which was pure comradery. Just for the sake of this relationship, he had to come out and greet them.
The convoy soon stopped at the gate of the old man’s house. The door of the passenger seat of the leading vehicle opened, and a soldier jumped right out. Seeing the soldier that jumped out, Finn Lewis was slightly taken aback, he was probably not one of the old man’s war buddies.
He was a young major. Undeniably young, considering the age. Although Flame Nation was implementing a policy of youthifying its officials, including the military, as many of the older generation of soldiers couldn’t keep up with the younger generations, but this major was still relatively young.
This difference distinguished military personnel from ordinary people. Of course, if he were an escort, he would typically sit in the back. The young major noticed the old man waiting at the gate. He got off the car and hurried towards the gate. The younger man behind him followed closely. Upon reaching the gate, the major saluted the old man before smiling and saying, “Uncle Davis, happy birthday! I’m here on behalf of my father. He’s been under the weather lately and couldn’t make it over.”
“Is Mr. Butler alright?” The old man immediately asked with a face full of worry.
