Waiting For a Girl Like You

On their way home, Cody noticed that Sally was quite unhappy, so he immediately took out a box from his pocket and handed it to her. "Hey, I got this for you! Don't be upset anymore. You know that your uncle is busy with work, right?"

"He is always busy. But today is my birthday. There is no way he can forget it, no matter how busy he is!"

She took the box from Cody's hand and opened it. Inside was a pair of exquisite diamond earrings. She distinctly remembered telling him that she liked those earrings when they were at the brand promotion of this new product line last time. However, she didn't expect that Cody would actually remember, let alone buy it for her.

All of a sudden, Cody stopped the car at the side of the road and took the pair of diamond earrings from her hand. Then, he carefully helped her put them on and said, "Happy 18th birthday, Sally."

Sally looked at the rear view mirror to admire them on her, and just as she had expected, she looked absolutely stunning with the new pair of diamond earrings on her ears.

She then turned to Cody and gave him a friendly hug before saying, "Thank you, Cody."

Just as she was about to let him go, Cody suddenly tightened his hold on her. "Wait for me for another two years, Sally. I promise that I will marry you then," he said.

"Why not just say that you want to marry me now?" she teased, playfully nudging him with one of her elbows.

"Well, that's not a bad idea. We can hold a wedding ceremony first. And when you finally reach the legal marrying age, we can get our marriage license!" Cody looked at her, his black eyes shining with expectation.

Sally looked back at him and realized that he was actually serious. But instead of humoring him with an answer, she leisurely took the blueberry flavored drink that he always prepared for her in the car and said, "Come on. We should go. I have to go back to join my parents. I'll tell them to call Uncle Sean and severely punish him for forgetting my birthday!"

The moment he heard Sally mention Sean again, Cody's eyes turned dim. Without another word, he started the car and drove to the Seaview Villa.

When they finally arrived, the Seaview Villa was brightly lit.

There were pink balloons all over the roof, and there were numerous pink roses and pink dolls all over the villa. Every single one of them was pink — the color that Sally liked the most.

"Carla, don't worry. I have faith that Cody will bring Sally home!"

Shana said trying to comfort Carla.

Carla nodded her head and gently pulled Shana over to the so

id. He gently wiped the tears from her eyes and continued, "I swear to you that I will make you happy and full during every festival and every single day from here on out."

Carla took a deep breath and smiled through her tears. "Terence, you are becoming more and more skilled with your words. You can make me cry in just a minute..."

Terence couldn't help laughing. He hugged her tightly and said, "My dear wife, please don't cry. Otherwise, I don't know if I should still say the words I've prepared for you when we have dinner later."

Just as they were about to enjoy the romantic dinner, the door swung open all of a sudden.

Adonis and Sally entered the room, each of them holding a cake.

When Adonis saw the wonderful candlelit dinner and the heart-shaped rose cake his father had prepared, he silently lowered his head to look at the small cake in his and Sally's hands.

"Sally, I believe this cake is for you,"

Adonis said as he placed the cake in her hand before leaving at once.

After standing by the door awkwardly for a while, Sally grinned at Terence and Carla and said, "Dad, Mom, enjoy your dinner. I'm going to go downstairs now."

Terence looked at the door that Sally had just closed for a while before standing up and locking it. Their candlelit dinner had just begun, and there was no way he was going to let others disturb them anymore.

"Honey, why did you lock the door?"

Carla asked as she rested her chin on her hands. She had a feeling that Terence was planning on doing something nasty.

"Babe, I just don't want the children to disturb us anymore. They are just too noisy," Terence said as he took the bottle of red wine and poured it into Carla's glass.
