The next day…
"Eli... Happy birthday," Anxia sneaked up on her son's bed while kissing his son's tiny face to wake up the child, who was still asleep.
Elliot chuckled when he felt light kisses all over his face until he struggled to let go. "Mama, it's ticklish... hahaha... stop it,"
Anxia laughed heartily without letting go of her son and continued to attack Elliot's face with motherly kisses.
At the same time, Lori, who looked gloomy near her bedroom window even though her grandparents accompanied her, now beamed as soon as she saw her father's handsome face appear on her grandmother's phone screen.
"DADDY!!"
"Hi, my baby girl. Happy birthday. I've prepared a present for you there."
"I don't want them," whined Lori, pursing her mouth. "When are you guys coming home?"
