21. Family Events

"I want spaghetti carbonara." Suddenly Amelia said that.

Mike was instantly speechless at the thought of Amelia wanting spaghetti carbonara, of course Mike remembered Stella wanting spaghetti carbonara, but they ended up making love in the apartment for hours.

"Daddy, I want spaghetti carbonara." Amelia touched Mike's hand who was currently silent.

Tiffany could only stare confused at Mike who seemed to be thinking about something.

"Daddy?" Amelia called out to her father.

"Yes?" Mike began to realize that Amelia was calling.

"I want spaghetti carbonara." Amelia looked like she really wanted spaghetti carbonara for dinner today.

"Okay." Mike agreed to what Amelia wanted to eat tonight. "What do you want?" Mike looked at Tiffany's beautiful face.

Tiffany was silent as she thought about what she wanted for dinner.

"I think I want to eat something with soup." Tiffany suddenly wanted to eat something with soup.

"Gravy?" Mike began to think of a soupy dish for Tiffany.

"Meatballs," Amelia said.

Mike glanced at Tiffany as if waiting for her response when Amelia said meatballs.

"Meatballs look good." Tiffany seemed to want to taste the meatballs tonight.

"Okay, then Daddy's cooking." Mike started to get up from his seat and prepared to cook.

"Can I come?" Tiffany asked Mike for permission to cook.

Mike quickly shook his head. "No, you stay here with Amelia." Mike didn't allow Tiffany to cook.

"Okay." Tiffany complied.

Mike started to go to the kitchen to cook dinner today.

"Mom, why do you want to eat something with soup?" asked Amelia, who was very curious.

"I don't know, Mommy suddenly wants to eat something with soup," Tiffany replied uncertainly.

"Okay." Amelia just nodded.

She didn't know exactly why Tiffany wanted to eat something soupy, maybe because she was sick and needed something soupy to get better quickly.

"Can't wait to get back to work," muttered Tiffany who really couldn't wait to get back to work.

Tiffany really likes her job, what's more Tiffany has been waited on by several brands to finish the job immediately. However, Tiffany must maintain her health if she returns to work again, because Tiffany does not want to return to the hospital again.

"Amelia." Tiffany began to call Amelia in a very soft tone.

"Yes?" Amelia looked at Tiffany.

"When you're at grandma's house, don't talk about the hospital, okay?" Tiffany seemed to be starting to persuade Amelia not to discuss the hospital.

"So what?" Amelia was confused.

"Daddy and Mommy didn't tell Grandma and Grandpa that Mommy was hospitalized." It looked like Tiffany was starting to teach Amelia to lie.

However, Tiffany wasn't like that, Tiffany didn't teach Amelia to lie, but because neither Tiffany nor Mike had told her about Tiffany's illness, inevitably Tiffany had to tell Amelia that.

"Oh, okay." Amelia understood.

"Promise, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy."

Tiffany began to breathe a sigh of relief when Amelia agreed to what she said just now, surely Tiffany didn't want to make her parents anxious and worried because she was hospitalized. Tiffany also doesn't want to add to the burden of parents' minds, what's more, Tiffany's pain is only a normal pain due to fatigue at work.

"Mom, tomorrow I want to buy ice cream at school, is that okay?" Suddenly Amelia asked for permission.

Amelia always asked Tiffany for permission if she wanted to buy something at school, because Tiffany always reminded Amelia not to snack carelessly. Tiffany always prioritized Amelia's health, and Amelia, who always obeyed Tiffany, began to ask for permission.

"I can, just don't buy too much, okay?" Tiffany allowed Amelia to buy ice cream at school.

"I'll just buy one, Mom." Amelia told Tiffany that she only wanted to buy one ice cream.

"Okay." Tiffany believed Amelia.

Tiffany started fiddling with her cell phone, Tiffany started to open one of the social media.

"These clothes are really nice." Tiffany began to be fascinated by some of the clothes on social media.

Tiffany continued to look at the clothes and the prices listed there, it looked like Tiffany wanted to buy the clothes to wear at the family event on Sunday.

"Nice blue color." Tiffany loved the color blue, the bright blue of the sky.

Tiffany wanted to contact the seller, but suddenly Tiffany remembered that Tiffany was not allowed to contact the seller directly for security, what's more Tiffany is a famous artist making Tiffany must always be aware of her every action.

"Did I ask Kristine for help?" Tiffany began to remember friends.

Tiffany began to screenshot the seller's account by sending a link to the clothes she wanted to buy, then Tiffany sent it to Kristine.

"I hope Kristine will help me," Tiffany said with a sweet smile.

After Tiffany sent a message to Kristine, Kristine immediately replied and the message, Kristine agreed to what Tiffany wanted.

Tiffany smiled sweetly again. "Kristine is the best." Tiffany praised Kristine who always said what Tiffany wanted.

In the kitchen, Mike began to make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, Mike began to look like a housewife who was cooking for a family dinner. Mike is also seen looking at how to make meatballs on an internet channel. Mike seems to enjoy his role as a good husband to his wife, it seems that Mike is starting to change and forget about the bad treatment so far on Tiffany.

"Looks like tomorrow morning I have to make soupy food too," muttered Mike who started thinking about the breakfast menu for tomorrow.

When Tiffany was sick, Mike really positioned himself like a housewife. Mike also continued to prioritize Tiffany, even though Mike still had time to meet Stella a few hours ago. Does Mike regret having sex with Stella today? I don't know, maybe there will be regrets, but it's useless to regret because regrets won't bring everything back to the beginning. Regret is always at the beginning, if it's at the end it's called registration. Those are the words that fit Mike, but hopefully Mike will really change himself for the better.

At 8pm in a luxurious and very private restaurant, there was a couple who had just finished a romantic dinner there. Who is that couple? Who else if not Thomas and Tania.

"Don't invite me here often." Tania was always uncomfortable if they spent dinner at a fancy restaurant.

Thomas smiled. "It's okay, I'm doing this for you." Thomas would always want to make Tania happy.

Thomas is Tiffany's younger brother who works at the Smith company. Tania is a young girl who is very simple and may still always have shortcomings, because Tania is an underprivileged person. Thomas and Tania are as different as heaven and earth, Thomas who was born into a wealthy family makes Tania always insecure, because Tania is just an ordinary clerk in a shop.

"On Sunday you have to come to my family event," said Thomas, who wanted to invite Tania to a family event.

"No, I won't come." Tania realized that she was poor and didn't deserve to come to Thomas' family event.

"I'll pick you up at home."

"Don't do that, please understand my situation." Tania looked sadly at Thomas.

Thomas insisted on inviting Tania to a family event, a family event attended only by the nuclear family. Why did Thomas want to invite Tania? Wouldn't that embarrass Tania? What's more, the event was only a core event and Tania was not in the core family. Actually, Thomas wanted to introduce Tania to the Smith family, because Thomas planned to marry Tania, and Thomas was already very comfortable with Tania.

"Thomas, it seems like you've thought many times about having a relationship with me." Tania said that to Thomas again and again.

"Until death, I will stay in a relationship with you." Thomas is still the same as before, Thomas always wants to be with Tania until whenever.

Tania and Thomas have discussed this, but Thomas has always maintained a very good relationship, and Thomas also plans to marry Tania in the near future. However, Tania was always worried and afraid that the Smith family would reject her, especially since Tania was not born into a wealthy family like Thomas, and Tania was sure that Thomas' family would reject her, but Thomas always insisted like this.

"I'm scared."

"Relax, I'll stay with you." Thomas always won Tania over.

Thomas hugged Tania's body warmly, and it was obvious that Thomas loved Tania very much. Did Tania not love Thomas? Actually, it's not that Tania doesn't love Thomas, but the difference in caste makes Tania always afraid, what's more Tania knows that the Smith family is the richest family in the country, then Thomas has an older sister who is a world-famous artist, making Tania feel even more isolated. However, Thomas was always able to win Tania's heart.

"Thank you for being with me all this time," Tania said with tears in her eyes.

Thomas slowly released the hug and began to wipe Tania's tears, then Thomas said. "You are a different woman that I know, you will always be in my heart forever." Thomas' voice sounded sincere when he said that.

Tania seemed like a lucky woman to be the girlfriend of Thomas, who was the son of a rich man.

"Then, I'll come to your family event." Tania finally agreed to Thomas' invitation.
