Chapter 1471 Birthday
Dylan’s reaction left Arielle nonplussed.
Sybil, who had just come out of the kitchen, overheard their conversation and said, “Princess, could you wait until after His Majesty’s birthday party to return to Chanaea?”
Arielle had no idea about her father’s birthday celebration and was surprised to hear about it. She looked at Sybil and immediately said, “Of course. When is he celebrating it? Why didn’t you let me know beforehand? I can’t believe I almost missed it!”
Dylan actually wanted to tell Arielle about it, but she told him about her intention of heading back to Chanaea before he could bring it up. He did not think it was appropriate to talk about it since he had not celebrated Arielle’s birthday together with her before. Hence, he did not mention it to Arielle.
He had not expected that Sybil would bring up the topic and was nervous to see how Arielle would respond. Nonetheless, his anxiety lasted only a fraction of a second as Arielle gladly agreed to stay and celebrate his birthday with him. His lips curled into a smile as he felt a warm feeling coursing through his heart.
“His Majesty’s birthday is on next Thursday,” Sybil said and smiled at Arielle. “He was planning to tell you himself, but His Majesty had not expected that you would tell him about wanting to head back to Chanaea first…”
Sybil trailed off, but Arielle had gotten the gist of it.
She reckoned her father must have felt awkward to bring it up.
Oh, my silly father, what ever shall I do with him?
“Dad, please don’t do this anymore.” Arielle narrowed her eyes and fixed her gaze on Dylan as she explained herself, “You can tell me anything. That being said, I can’t promise that I’ll go along with you every time, though. My decision will have to depend on the situation then.”
Dylan nodded in response.
“All right, I will tell you everything next time,” he said with a megawatt smile.
At that moment, he deemed himself the luckiest man to have fallen in love with Maureen and had the most thoughtful little princess like Arielle together with her. He was especially grateful that Maureen was willing to keep the fruit of their love even when she could not get hold of any news on him back then.
Satisfied with Dylan’s response, Arielle smiled.
Sybil’s eyes crinkled into a smile as he said, “Dinner’s ready. Just wash up and we can start.”
The help served the dishes afterward. Dylan ushered Arielle to wash up as he was afraid that she might be hungry.
Dylan kept serving Arielle throughout the meal in Vinson’s stead.
Arielle looked at her plate which was full to its brim and turned to look at Vinson’s plate. She thought for a moment and gave her husband some of the food on her plate. “Eat up,” she said.
Vinson’s lips curled into a smile. Even though she’s acting all cold and distant sometimes, she’s a very considerate woman.
He was happy all right, but Dylan appeared to be quite dejected. After all, he was just thinking that she was his most considerate little princess, only to witness her showing favor and concern for Vinson.
Just when he was picking on the food on his plate and was about to put down his utensils, Dylan realized that an extra piece of meat had appeared on his plate. He lifted his head in surprise and noticed that Arielle was putting more food onto his plate. Delight filled him almost immediately at his daughter’s action.
“Hurry up and eat, Arielle. It’s not going to taste as good when it’s cold. I can get the food on my own,” Dylan said. However, it was clear as day that he was in a much better mood than before.
