Chapter 214 Like an innocent child, Zoe forgot about the painful past right after the mention of the party and gifts. Bright helped him out to create a beautiful project with limited pictures, ending the play date on a good note.
He was scrolling his phone when I gave him a mug of coffee after dinner. His voice was laced with memories as he said, âNow I have realized how lucky I was as a child, Laura. Although my parents were always busy, mom was present at my every special occasion. She never let me feel alone.â
He showed me his childhood pictures, sharing the tender moments of maternal love. The affection etched on Mrs. Wilsonâs face popped up a brilliant idea in my mind.
âBright, why donât you prepare a surprise for your mom to thank her for her continuous love and support? She will definitely appreciate the acknowledgement of her devotion.â
Brightâs eyes lit up to hear my proposal. He praised me, âYou are a genius, Lau. I havenât thanked her ever, so this considerate gesture will soften her heart for me. She will approve of our relationship, too.â
He kissed my cheek and spoke excitedly, âEmotional blackmailing is such a practical idea. Why didnât I think of it before?â
âBright!â I feigned anger and glared at him, âShowing gratitude for our parentâs affection should be from the heart, not a business tactic. Family is above all.â
He listened to my lecture silently and hugged me in the end, his warm tone calmed my soul.
You are a wonderful lady, Laura. I am sure that mom will love to have you as her daughterâinâlaw.â
According to our plan, I spent the next day in Brightâs mansion, supervising the arrangements for the party. I ensured that everything should be fitting for our distinctive guest.
Bright printed out his childhood pics and framed them. We hung them on walls to create an air of nostalgia. Lights, candles, cake, and pinkâthemed decorations were topânotch. My heart was jumping in my chest when it was finally the time to see Mrs.
Wilsonâs reaction.
In the evening, Bright brought his mom to his mansion, wrapping a blindfold around her eyes. She was warning him nonstop, âBright, itâs better to be not a joke. I am not free for your childish tricks.â
âOne more second, mom.â Bright took her inside the dining hall, where we arranged everything and removed the blindfold.
âSurprise!â
Standing beside a window, I could see the shock draining all the colors from her face, parting her lips in a silent scream. Mrs.
Wilson stared at the pictures with incredulity. As if in a daze, she stepped forward and paused before Brightâs birth pic. Her dreamy voice resonated in the hall, âIt felt like yesterday when I gave birth to you, Bright.â
Tracing her fingers over the picture, she couldnât control her sentiments and cried, tears trickled down her cheeks. At that moment, she looked like a fragile woman with pure love for her kid, I could feel her emotions as a mother of two beautiful children.
Bright grabbed her shoulders, hugging her from behind. He spoke sincerely.
âDespite all the hardships, you never ignored me, mom. I have no words to thank you for the sacrifices you made for me. I am blessed to be your boy.â âMy son!â Mrs. Wilson sniffled, sobbing uncontrollably. She was overwhelmed when Bright gave her a present after cutting the cake.
âMom, I remember that you had a classy gown and I ruined it with juice on my fifth birthday. Hereâs that dress for you now. I will be happy if you wear it.â
Wiping her tears, she accepted his gift and nodded, âYou are my darling son, Bright. I never regret ruining my clothes for you. Itâs so touching that you still remember those details about me.â
