"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." Melodious singing filled the room.
Surrounding the dining table, there were two people. A little boy and a beautiful woman. Standing not far away from them was their family's butler, James.
"James, when is Adrian coming back home?" The woman asked.
"Reporting to Madam, Master said that he wouldn't be able to make it to young master's birthday as he has work to do."
"Work again..." The little boy mumbled.
Afraid of ruining the little boy's mood, the woman tried to comfort him, "Kieran, you know that daddy is busy, maybe he'd come on your next birthday!"
The little boy nodded and pretended to show understanding, but deep inside he thought, 'he'd come? What a joke!'
Despite the thoughts in his head, the little boy smiled at his mother, worried that he would make her sad.
"My son is such a sensible child," the woman smiled as she embraced the little boy in a warm hug.
"Mom smells nice, like flowers..." The little boy murmured as he buried his head further into the warm embrace. "It's so warm."
"Haha..My little boy sure is sweet today...!" The woman giggled. "Now, mom has prepared a gift for you. It's not the prettiest but i made it myself, i hope you like it."
After speaking, she took out a red box that was tied with a white ribbon and passed it to the little boy.
"Open it, it's yours now."
Filled with curiosity, the boy untied the ribbon and opened the box. In the box laid a necklace, it looked like it was clumsily made but one could feel the sincerity of the gift.
"The necklace is so pretty. I love it! Thank you, mom."
The woman smiled as she lovingly stroke the little boy's head, "I'm glad."

"Wake up—"
"Wake up!" Tyler raised his voice as he shook Kieran's shoulder more aggressively.
"Go away..." Mumbled Kieran irritatedly as he smacked away the hands that were on his shoulders.
"Good, you're awake now. Class is over."
"Oh..."
Still sleepy, Kieran stared dazedly at Tyler. His eyes were fogged up and misty from sleep. Flustered from being stared at for too long, Tyler quickly looked away as he cursed under his breath.
"Turn your head away," Spoke Tyler as he turned Kieran's head around before sighing in relief.
Finally sober from sleep, Kieran irritatedly turned his head back and rebuked, "don't touch me."
