Peter Aria looked seriously at the girl in front of him, after a long time he said, "Aubree, you're the greatest pride of my life."

Aubree stood up. "Dad, your birthday is coming soon. This year, for your birthday, I want to surprise you."
Peter Aria's eyes shone with anticipation: "Then, dad is looking forward to it."
