Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

There was an abundance of work at the studio these past few days, leaving her feeling overwhelmed and unable to focus on the children.

With Jane available to watch the kids for a few days, she could dedicate herself entirely to the studio, completing the work quickly and finding some relief.

“Okay, after work today, I’ll bring the kids over. They can play together until the birthday celebration, and then I’ll pick them up.”

Upon hearing that Harrison would come, Jane quickly agreed.

“You’re so busy, there’s no need for you to come. I’ll pick up the kids after work. You should focus on your own tasks for now,” Jane said after Harrison’s agreement, ending the call and instructing her assistant on the details of the birthday gift preparations.

The extent of the plans included gifts for Harrison’s two children as well.

With detailed instructions and specifics about the types of gift boxes needed, Jane made sure her assistant had everything down before reminding them about the time.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Once the assistant had taken note of everything, Jane reminded them about the time again.

Jane picked up the kids after finishing work.

Two days passed quickly, and today, Jane came home early with many friends already waiting there.

These were all friends who had come to celebrate the children’s birthday, and they all had a good relationship with Jane.

As any of those without a good relationship would not appear at the children’s birthday celebration.

“These children look so healthy and robust, like they are blessed. When they grow older, they will surely be very smart and clever.”

“Yes, look at them smiling at me. Only a smart child can recognize good intentions.”

Seeing that Jane was too busy to look after the kids, she had to let Harrison and others handle everything.

Originally, Jane did not intend for the gathering to be so large, but there were many friends and relatives calling in, leaving her with no other option but to accommodate them.

So, Jane had to let all these friends and relatives come, and it turned out to be a rare occasion to get together and liven things up.

While waiting for these friends, Jane received a call that made her particularly happy.

“I’m on my way back from the airport and should be home in about half an hour.”

This simple sentence filled Jane with joy. Even though Patrick was working in another city, it was still very satisfying for Jane that he managed to make it. Patrick’s call indicated that he would be home in about half an hour.

Jane knew that Patrick probably didn’t get much information on his father’s situation. Otherwise, he would’ve sounded more excited on the call.

While she didn’t have time to dwell on it, she continued to receive guests with a smile on her face as friends and relatives arrived.

“Congratulations on the child’s first birthday,” said some relatives, with smiles on their faces as they handed over their gifts. Jane thanked them and placed the gifts aside, continuing to welcome more people.

Soon, according to Jane’s schedule, almost all of the relatives and friends who were supposed to come had arrived.

Now Jane stood on stage, thanking all the friends for their presence.

After the brief speech, it was time for the traditional ritual of the first birthday. The part that Jane didn’t expect was when her two children each picked up an item – one a pen and the other an abacus.

“That’s great! The one with the pen should keep their culture alive by effortlessly signing documents, and the one with the abacus symbolizes a prosperous business.”

“Indeed, it’s a good omen. I never expected the twins to choose such similar items. They clearly have a special connection.”

Several people nodded in agreement. Everyone knew that at such times, only the best things should be said.

And when the children were so cute and healthy, there was nothing else to discuss.

“I think these two children are intelligent and will definitely inherit Patrick’s company. Patrick can rest assured.”

As the conversation flowed, Patrick arrived. After apologizing to everyone, he joined the celebrations and watched the other activities.

With smiles on everyone’s faces, Jane invited them to sit in front of the house for the formal dinner. It was a lively scene with everyone chatting and enjoying themselves.

Of course, there were also a few entertainers from the company, brought in to liven up the atmosphere and add to the interaction.

When Jane and the others were having a great time, an unfamiliar person arrived.

“Congratulations! I didn’t expect the child to turn one so soon. As an elder, I can’t come empty-handed.”

Jane was puzzled by the stranger’s words, but since they were friends and relatives, she welcomed the person with a smile and invited them in.

When the stranger brought out the gift, Jane was surprised – it was just an envelope.

“Since I didn’t know what the child likes, I thought they could pick out something themselves.”

After inviting the guest to sit and dealing with other matters, Jane took a peek at the red envelope, only to find a million dollars inside.

This was a significant amount of money, and only close friends and relatives, especially those who didn’t lack money, would be so generous.

“Isn’t this too much?” Harrison felt that giving such a large amount in a check to a child seemed a bit inappropriate. But Jane and Patrick would have to decide, so she handed the person over to Patrick.
