Chapter 337: Chapter 349: Life and Death Hanging by a Thread (27)

Isabel Smith placed the lilac on the side table, just like Raymond Thompson, she closed her eyes quietly in front of the candles, her attitude devout.

Percy Stanton stood by, watching the big and small surrounding a circle of candles, their serious expressions, the candlelight gently flickering, casting fluctuating light and shadows on their faces.

Percy’s gaze became increasingly tender, he quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, focusing on Isabel and Raymond, and then gently pressed the shutter button.

By the time Percy put away his mobile phone, Isabel had opened her eyes and, together with Raymond, blew out the candles.

...

After cutting the cake, the waiter entered the restaurant and served the dishes.

After all, being a child was Raymond’s nature; he especially loved to eat sweets. Before the dishes were served, he was already full from eating cake; so, during the meal, he seemed a little unfocused.

Raymond was a child who liked to interact with people. He had a lot to say, especially when facing Isabel, he liked to talk even more. Even though his stomach was full and couldn’t eat anything else, he still held a fork, dug up some cream, sucked it in his mouth, then turned his head, looked at Isabel, and said, "Sister Isabel, what birthday wish did you make? I just made a wish, hoping that Sister Isabel and I can be together forever."

Actually, Percy knew that Raymond’s feelings for Isabel were not romantic; they were simply a child’s dependent fondness. However, seeing Raymond cling to Isabel and sweet-talking her made him feel slightly annoyed.

Men were all the same when it came to their beloved woman, acting childish and petty, without any rules.

In the past, when he saw some men getting angry because their girlfriends got too close to other men, he felt that the men lacked demeanor. But now, when he thinks about it, he was no different than those men.

The more you care, the more you mind.

So, now when Percy saw Raymond telling Isabel that he hoped to be with her for a lifetime and then snuggling against her after saying that, he couldn’t help but have an urge from the bottom of his heart to grab Raymond away from Isabel and throw him out of the revolving restaurant. As a result, the words he couldn’t control came out, targeting Raymond, "Raymond, don’t you know that if you say your wish out loud, it will never come true?"

"But in the past, every time I made a wish for my mum to come back to me, I never told anyone, and it didn’t come true either," Raymond immediately refuted Percy, looking unhappy.

Percy held the tableware, picked up some food, took a bite at a leisurely pace, and then glanced at his son’s annoyed little face with a bland expression, saying, "You see, even wishes that aren’t said out loud don’t come true, let alone the ones that are spoken? It’s hopeless now..."

Isabel had interacted with Percy and Raymond a few times. Every time, Percy would tease Raymond; she had never seen a father be so petty with his son.

Isabel looked at Raymond’s face, which was almost in tears from being teased by Percy, and her heart suddenly felt hurt. She shot Percy an unhappy glare, then lowered her head and gently whispered to Raymond, "Raymond, it’s okay; I’ll make a deal with you. Since you’ve already said your wish, I’ll say mine too. Older Sister will accompany you in being unable to realize our wishes together. How about that?"

Raymond’s unhappy expression slightly improved, but he hesitated a little, shook his head and said, "Although I really like Sister Isabel accompanying me, I want Sister Isabel’s wish to come true even more."

At a young age, he was already so considerate!
