The Reunion After Seven Years

"Ms. Ning, it would be great if you came to the party with Jay."

The man offered his invitation generously, in a confident tone, as if he had no doubt that Nicole would accept.

Before Nicole could answer, Jay chimed in,

"Thank you, Uncle. I will not miss Callie's birthday." Jay's eyes were fixed on Callie, but it was a pity that Callie was above him since she was in her father's arms.

Jay felt a little frustrated, and wondered where the old man was right now. Jay really needed his help, but he didn't see him anywhere nearby.

Callie seemed to know what Jay was thinking, but she didn't get down from her father’s arms. She said, "I hope Auntie Nicole can come with Jay. You're beautiful and I like you very much."

Callie's compliment made Nicole feel a little shy, as she wasn't accustomed to receiving praise from children other than Jay. "Okay, I will be there. I like you, too."

Who could resist such an adorable kid?

The man nodded to Callie and said, "We have some other things to do now. We'll see you tomorrow." Then he left with Callie in his arms.

When they sat down at the table again, Nicole suddenly became curious about the father and daughter. "Jay, how did you meet Callie? Why didn't I know about this girl before?"

Not knowing that Jay had concealed so many secrets from her, she felt like a bit of a failure.

In the past, she was always the first one to know what was going on in Jay‘s life.
