Chapter 1139: 011 Time flies, the promise of eighteen_5

Evelyn Willow gave the flowers and money to Stella Carrington, who had already forgotten the unpleasantness of the previous night and happily accepted it, "Thank you, Kent."

After speaking, she looked forward to Evelyn Willow taking out the present Axel Hawkins had given her.

"..." Evelyn Willow paused for a moment, then explained, "This is from Axel Hawkins, and for me, I didn’t manage to prepare anything this year. Maybe next year."

He had to prepare for the college entrance exam before, and he didn’t have any time every day, not even for studying or tutoring, so his excuse was somewhat decent.

"..." Stella Carrington was stunned for a moment, considering that he might still be angry with her, and she didn’t say much more. "It’s okay, we’re so familiar with each other, it doesn’t make a difference whether there’s a gift or not. Come in, have some tasty food, and there’s your favorite fried chicken."

"?" At that moment, Evelyn Willow truly wanted to sneer. He used to like fried chicken, but that was before he turned sixteen. After he turned sixteen, he had almost completely stopped eating fried chicken and similar foods for the sake of dieting. Yet, Stella Carrington still thought fried chicken was his favorite?

"No need, you all eat slowly. I need to make a trip back to Kyoto today to catch a flight, so I’m leaving now," Evelyn Willow said as he turned and walked away.

"..." Stella Carrington was surprised for a moment but didn’t go after him to insist he stay.

Once Evelyn Willow had departed, Stella Carrington held the flowers Axel Hawkins sent her and placed them in the most prominent position in the living room. Even though the gifts were the same every year, as long as they were from Axel Hawkins, she treasured them, no matter what they were.

She was better off than girls who longed for gifts from Axel Hawkins but never received any, like Laura Clark.

Over the years, even without Elena Duncan by her side, she still enjoyed many things. Even if they were superficial, her vanity was greatly satisfied inside.

Sure enough, she was quickly surrounded by everyone, eager to hear about Axel Hawkins’s little secrets. She spoke as if she genuinely understood him well and shared a lot about him.

This birthday party eventually concluded quite satisfactorily. Her eighteenth birthday was somewhat meaningful.

——Divider——

Stella Carrington’s eighteenth birthday passed, followed closely by Axel Hawkins’s eighteenth, which was almost one and a half months after Stella’s.

He planned to arrive in M Country before his eighteenth birthday to celebrate with Elena Duncan.

Bryan Hawkins and Carolline Ruiz both agreed to his idea, and of course, he communicated his plans to Simon Carrington and Daisy Willow in advance. Daisy Willow agreed with a smile.

The two children, whom they had watched grow up, were very dear to both Daisy Willow and Simon Carrington.

Of course, Carolline Ruiz and Bryan Hawkins also liked Elena Duncan. Although Elena Duncan didn’t return often, everytime she did, both families would definitely get together.

So, Axel Hawkins didn’t plan to spend his entire eighteenth birthday at home. Carolline Ruiz didn’t object. The child had grown and wasn’t under his mother’s control anymore. It didn’t matter if it wasn’t his eighteenth birthday; there would be the twenty-eighth, thirty-eighth, and it wouldn’t make a difference.

Since Axel Hawkins was leaving early, Bryan Hawkins and Carolline Ruiz prepared everything for him in advance.

Considering that school was about to start and there weren’t many days left, Elena Duncan’s eighteenth birthday would be after the opening of school. Daisy Willow and Simon Carrington had already thought about asking Carolline Ruiz and Bryan Hawkins’s family to join them in M Country to celebrate Elena Duncan’s birthday.

When departing, Axel Hawkins didn’t tell Elena Duncan or Evelyn Willow. In Elena’s eyes, Evelyn was a traitor. Once he knew about the early departure, he would undoubtedly tell Elena first.

Therefore, by the time Evelyn Willow and Stella Carrington learned that Axel Hawkins had gone to M Country half a month early, all they could do was stamp their feet and heave a sigh of regret.

Evelyn Willow kept cursing, saying it was agreed to go together, and yet he had sneakily left early.

Even the adults were really something; it was all discussed. He said he wanted to go to M Country early, but was told that Elena wasn’t home, as she had gone to B Country for a fashion exhibit.

He had to wait for Elena to return before he could go. Later, when he tried calling Axel Hawkins, he couldn’t get through on his domestic number, and he couldn’t find him. One was in Kyoto, the other in G City; Evelyn Willow didn’t pay it much mind until he accidentally heard from his aunt that Axel Hawkins had gone to M Country a week ago and met with Elena.

Stella Carrington went to find Axel Hawkins the day before his birthday, but when she couldn’t, she turned to Evelyn Willow and learned that Axel’s birthday was already being celebrated by someone more important, and naturally, she knew he had reunited with Elena.
