before turning around and walking toward Theodore.Meanwhile, Theodore had been busy entertaining some guests. When he heard that Arthur was present, emotions warred within him. Hence, he was worried when he saw Arthur approach him.“Happy birthday, Dad,” Arthur said.Theodore flinched when he heard the familiar term and responded, “Hey.”During their last conversation, Arthur repeatedly addressed Theodore as ‘Mr. Winthrop’ before he left, and every time he did that, it hurt Theodore. Still, Arthur was willingly calling him ‘dad’ now. Did that mean he wanted to repair their relationship?“I am so sorry for last time, Dad,” Arthur stated. “I blamed all of you without knowing everything about the situation. I even said I would cut off all contact with you guys. It’s all my fault. I hope you can forgive me. I still want to call you Dad.”His speech was so moving that everyone present was touched.

Tomorrow’s headline was set in stone.Seeing that made Elspeth smirk mockingly. At the end of the party, Theodore suggested dining in a private room in the hotel’s restaurant. He wanted a reunion dinner since Arthur had returned. When the food was all served up, someone rushed into the room.“Sorry I’m late.”Elspeth scowled. Why was Emma invited?Theodore smiled and explained, “I invited Emma. After all, she flew so far to be here with us. She even put so much effort into my birthday celebration. I had to invite her as well.”Then, as if afraid everyone was still confused, Arthur added, “The watch isn’t the only gift Emma prepared. There is also a luminous pearl of the Southern Sea. It’s merely arriving late.”When Elspeth heard that, she knew the pearl was likely given to Emma by Arthur to save her reputation.Theodore chuckled. “It’s fine. I
