Chapter 875: 875. The Birthday Gift Received by Island Master Jones

His drooping eyelids suddenly flew open, "Hmm? What’s wrong?"

Elly had already sat up from his embrace, and before he was fully awake, she leaned in to press a firm kiss onto his lips, "Happy Birthday."

Adam’s body jolted as his muzzy consciousness instantly cleared.

He glanced at the wall clock, 11:58 PM, just two minutes left until his birthday was over.

His wife had finally remembered his birthday!!!!!!!

Just that one greeting filled Adam with joy, smoothing the furrow between his brows, dispelling the day’s gloom that had settled over him due to the overlooked birthday—vanquished by the simple "Happy Birthday" and that kiss.

Bathed in moonlight, he wrapped his arm around Elly, cupped the back of her head with his hand, and planted several fervent kisses on her lips, the only way to express his current state of ecstatic excitement.

"Thank you, wife."

Elly laughed at his reaction, her face full of playful scorn, "All this happiness over just a birthday wish."

"Of course, I’m happy when my wife remembers my birthday."

"Hmph! Don’t think I didn’t know you’ve been sulking all day."

Adam: "..."

Is it really okay to expose him so directly?

As Elly spoke, she slipped out of bed from beside him, "I’ve also prepared a birthday gift for you."

Adam’s eyes sparkled, "A gift too?"

It seemed his wife knew all along that it was his birthday. Had she prepared the present in advance, only pretending to forget to surprise him?

Thinking this, Adam’s eyes, even in the darkness, shone with a hint of brilliance.

Elly had already gotten out of bed, and Adam hurriedly turned on the light, "Be careful, don’t bump into anything."

At that moment, Elly had taken out two pieces of paper from the inner layer of her backpack she’d been carrying. As Adam looked on, puzzled, she walked over to him, "Open them and have a look."

Adam took the papers with a puzzled look and unfolded them.

A series of numbers on the page made him pause, then as he read further down, the gentle lines on his face grew tenser.

He hurriedly picked up the other sonogram, and his face turned red with emotions that completely overpowered him.

Even his hands, holding those two papers, started to shake ever so slightly.

Elly stood before him with her hands clasped behind her back, interestingly watching his amusing reaction unfold, a smile gradually brightening her eyes.

After a long moment, Adam lifted his head sharply from the papers, which he had checked and rechecked, and it took a great effort to find his voice.

He almost leaped from the bed to Elly, "Baby, are you pregnant?"

His voice was visibly shaking from the sheer excitement.

This was the first time Elly had heard Adam call her baby, and although it sounded a bit strange, she didn’t find it cheesy.

The next second, Adam swept her into his arms, "You’re really pregnant?"

Elly looked up at him, her eyebrows arched, "Do you like your birthday present?"

"I love it, I really love it!"

At this moment, he couldn’t contain his excitement, and though there was so much he wanted to say, facing Elly, he was at a loss for words.

"Elly, my wife, I... I..."

He had no idea what to say; even his speech was a jumbled mess.
