You Are The Apple of My Eyes

The Lantern Festival was also the birthday of Van and Don. Although there was no big birthday party held for them, all the members of Shi family were present at that time. Noah and Henry were present, and Gia's family of three also came.

Adrian came here with his sister, Evelyn. Ford always followed Evelyn closely, so he came with them.

Jason also came to congratulate with his wife and daughter. Bryant' family of four also came. All the people were acquaintances of the Shi family. There were at least twenty to thirty people, which was particularly lively.

Van and Don also invited two good friends from the kindergarten, Strong and Little Tail. It was the first time for the two children to see a luxurious castle, and their eyes lit up.

As long as Strong found something surprising, he immediately called "boss". It was the first time that Little Tail had seen such a scene. She timidly followed behind Strong.

Vance, Donald, Amanda, Cherry, Max, Tylor, Strong and Little Tail are at the same age. Nine followed Vance all the time. Eight kids and a snow-white Tibetan mastiff gradually became familiar with each other. The North Yard was filled with laughter.

Evelyn was about the same age as Chester, so they should have some common topics, but Evelyn was timid and introverted, so she didn't say a word except nodding and smiling to him.

She tried her best to keep quiet and stayed close to Ford until Noah came to take her away.

When Vicente saw Noah coming over with a sixteen year old girl, he immediately stood straight and greeted them with a smile.

"Noah, is this your sister?" She only knew that Noah had a half-brother, Henry, and a half-sister, Cherry.

But Cherry didn't seem to be the girl in front of him.

Cherry was only five years old.

The little girl in front of him, whose skin was as white as snow, looked flustered when she saw a stranger and subconsciously hid herself behind Noah.

She didn't look like Noah's sister at all. Instead, she looked like Adrian.

Noah touched Evelyn's head and introduced, "Evelyn is the younger sister of my uncle. According to her seniority in the family, she should be my niece, but she always calls me brother since childhood, so I regard her as a sister."

"Evelyn, let me introduce her to you. She is my..." Noah couldn't find a suitable word to introduce Vicente's relationship to her for the moment.

Lover?

If he said so, he was afraid that his words would mislead Evelyn. In front of children, even Henry and Adrian would only treat each other as good friends.

If he told her that Vicente was his good friend, he was afraid that Vicente would felt aggrieved, but he couldn't directly tell her their relationship.

Noah was in a dilemma.

Vicente knew that it was his selfishness that made Noah in a difficult position, so he immediately explained for him.

"Good friend, very good friend. We will be good friends all our life." Vicente smiled gently and stretched out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Evelyn. You can call me Vicente."

Looking at the smiling Vicente, Noah smiled and his eyes became gentle and affectionate.

Evelyn looked at the hand in front of her and then looked up at Noah. She suddenly understood something.

Others thought she knew nothing, but in fact, she was very smart and she has guessed it, but she didn't say anything.

She had always known the relationship between Adrian and Henry, but she didn't expect that Noah also fell in love with boy.

Evelyn felt a little awkward, but since Noah liked Vicente, she would learn to like him

She raised her hand to hold the hand of Vicente. As she was not familiar with him, she quickly withdrew her hand. "Vicente, Noah is a good man." So you must cherish him.

Evelyn always spoke in a low voice. Her voice was as weak as her figure, as weak as if she could blew away by wind.

However, Vicente felt that her words meant a lot. He looked at Evelyn, whose eyes looked timid but also stubborn, and then he felt that she seemed to know the relationship between him and Noah. 'What a smart girl.'

"Yes, he is a good person." Vicente smiled and touched her head. "Can I have a moment with Noah? I have something to tell him."

Evelyn nodded. Noah was worried that she would be bored alone. She was not very close to Adrian, and Nina was too busy to take care of her, so he asked Chester, who was about the same age as her, to accompany her.

He thought that their peers should be easier to get along with each other.

"Chester, please take care of Evelyn for me." Noah said, "Evelyn is introverted and shy with strangers. Can you accompany her for a while?"

Chester glanced at Evelyn who was standing opposite him and nodded.

Then Chester stayed with Evelyn. He didn't say anything deliberately, but when he would fetch the fruit to her when she took a look at it. When she took one more look at the cake, Chester would also fetch it for her.

At first, Evelyn was so timid that she didn't dare to take it, but it seemed that Chester would hold the plate all the time unless she take it.

Evelyn was afraid of bothering him, so she had to reach for it.

She ate a lot of her favorite food the whole night. Finally, after taking the birthday cake handed over by Chester, she took the initiative to talk to him. "Thank you."

At the same time, Chester also finally said, "You like red grapes?"

"Yes, I like it." Evelyn nodded and she thought of the first time that Albert peeled grapes for her.

"You also like cakes?" With no expression on his face, Chester continued to ask casually.

Evelyn nodded but then shook her head.

Chester frowned, he was confused by her, "So you like it or not?"

Evelyn answered in a low voice, "I only like birthday cake."

Albert once told her that everyone would make a wish on the birthday cake candles on their birthday. If she ate the cake cut by the birthday person, she might be able to get an opportunity from the birthday person to make a wish. In that case, she could make a wish secretly even it was not her birthday.

It was obviously a joke to kids, but Evelyn had been deeply believed it for many years. However, she didn't have many friends. She seldom celebrated other people's birthday, nor could she eat birthday cake. She had many wishes.

She hoped that Albert and his wife could come back. She had always made this wish, but it had never been realized. Later, she changed her wish. She then made wish on hoping Albert and his wife could also be together in the next life.

She hoped that her mother could love her. She hoped every time her mother came to see her was because she missed her but not for money.

She hoped that her younger brother could grow up happily. Although she and her younger brother were not born by the same father, she also liked him. However, it seemed that her younger brother did not like her and always bullied her with her mother.

Her biggest wish was that Ford could always be with her.

Thinking of this, Evelyn looked at the place where Ford was standing and smiled.

Ford always stood where she could see him at a glance.

When Chester noticed that Evelyn was looking at somewhere, he followed her gaze and inadvertently caught a glimpse of her smile, which was as gentle as the snow mountain turning into water in spring. He thought, 'I didn't expect that she would smile.'☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
