CHAPTER 125
JEMIMA’S MANSION**
Maxwell peeped into the living room and smiled when he saw everything is set already, everyone is present including Warren and Cypress, Sloane and her son.
Dolores and Francesca are the master planners.
“It’s time” Francesca said, and he came in fully.
“At the count of three” Cypress said.
“One!” Warren shouted.
“Two!” Dolores followed.
*Three!” Sloane finished up, and they all rushed upstairs to Jemima’s room, each holding at least three boxes of gifts.
Miguel opened the door, and they met her just waking up in bed.
“Happy birthday!!!” They chorused, and her eyes widened immediately.
“OMG!” She covered her mouth with her palms.
“Happy 29th birthday mummy!” Francesca climbed the bed to hug her as everyone dropped the gifts on the bed, surrounding her with it.
“It’s my birthday?” Jemima said surprisingly.
“I knew you’d forget” she replied, and Jemima hugged her again.
“Thanks so much baby! Thank you! I love you so much!”
“So…dad prepared all these gifts, our own gifts are still in the living room.
You should check out your boyfriend’s first” Francesca said, and Jemima got down from the bed, walking straight to Maxwell to hug him.
“Happy birthday, Gem” he smiled, rubbing her hair.
“Thanks so much cupcake” she sniffed, fighting back her tears as she broke the hug to start opening the gifts. They’re twelve in number.
The first one is a big stuffed teddy, color white and aqua green dots. MAXWELL was written boldly on it’s chest.
“Gosh!” She hugged it, opening the second to behold a necklace with MAX LOVES YOU as the pendant.
“Gosh!” She jumped, sitting on the bed to open the third one.
It contains a bunch of tulips, her favorite flower, then a note in-between.
She picked the white note and opened to read.
“To my special woman, I got addicted to you so easily. Attracted to you in ways I can’t explain.
I only want your attention. I care about you more than you think, and I think about you more than you realize.
You’re the last thing on my mind each and every day. I just love you too much.
I may not be the first man in your life, but I wanna be the last man.
I know I’m not the first man who made you feel loved, but I wanna be the last man to make you feel loved soulfully, to the core.
I promise to continue treating you the way you wanna be treated and give you the respect you deserve.
I just wanna wish you a sweet birthday, and remind you forever that I love you”
Jemima was already crying when she finished reading it.
“Max!!” She cried out like a kid, standing from the bed to jump on him.
She buried her face in his shoulder and resumed her babyish tears.
“Awww!!!” Warren and Cypress chorused.
“Is she crying for real? Granny is right, she’s a crybaby” Cypress laughed.
“I swear” Warren replied.
Jemima clinged tighter to Maxwell, and he smiled as he began stroking her hair again. Her tears of happiness wet him.
“I love you” he whispered, and she only cried more.
She has never felt this loved all her life.
