"Little Lily, Nicole’s mother has passed away. You are her mother now, so you need to put in so effort."
Lily Cox smiled and nodded, "I’ll start preparing for this after the birthday banquet. Nicole, if you have a preference for the type, you can let Auntie know. We not only need to consider family background and character but more importantly, what you like."
Lily Cox had no children and couldn’t conceive, so she treated her husband’s newly recognized daughter very well, genuinely taking her as her own daughter.
Nicole’s body stiffened for a mont. Not wanting to reject the good intentions of Enzo Seys and Lily Cox, she nodded slightly.
Enzo Seys smiled with satisfaction.
The happiest person was Old Master Seys, Dominic Seys.
Tomorrow was his grand birthday, and after the banquet, his grandson would be getting married, and his granddaughter would soon have a partner, making him beam with joy.

Old Master Seys’s birthday party was set in the garden of a vintage castle.
Arlo Seys had rented out the entire castle to celebrate Dominic Seys’s birthday, creating a grand yet warm atmosphere.
Guests arrived one after another, with Veralina Quinn and Lily Cox standing at the entrance to greet them. Enzo Seys and Evan Seys were inside, chatting pleasantly with the guests.
The Seys Family was renowned in City C, and many high-class distinguished families tried every ans to get an invitation to the Old Master Seys’s birthday banquet to make wealthy friends and secure major deals.
Notable families from City C, such as the Haynes Family, the Sutherland Family, and the Grant Family, attended to offer congratulations. Nico Haynes, along with his parents, wished Old Master Seys a happy birthday, his charming words pleasing Dominic so much he couldn’t stop smiling. "Little Nico’s words are smooth enough to charm any girl. He’s quite the talker! Even I feel sweet listening to him."
After Jayden Sutherland and Selah Sutton extended their birthday wishes, Dawn Sutherland presented his own prepared birthday gift to Old Master Seys and offered sincere blessings with respect.
Dominic Seys gently patted Dawn Sutherland’s shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Little Dawn, regardless of your background, your future prospects won’t be lacking. The path is forged by oneself. Your background doesn’t determine your entire future. As long as you dare to fight and break through, one day City C will definitely know the na Dawn Sutherland. Grandpa Seys believes that not long from now, when people introduce you, they won’t say you’re soone from the Sutherland Family, but rather, this is Dawn Sutherland. Do you understand?"
Dawn Sutherland solemnly nodded, "I understand, thank you, Grandpa Seys, for your teachings."
Daisy Grant had just followed her parents forward to extend their birthday wishes, only to see Dawn Sutherland turning around, intending to leave.
Their eyes t, and Daisy Grant looked at Dawn Sutherland deeply, her heart unable to stop beating wildly.
When Dawn Sutherland saw Daisy Grant, his eyes briefly brightened. However, when he noticed she was with her parents, he politely nodded to the Grant Family and then suppressed all his emotions, lowering his gaze slightly before leaving.
His departure made Daisy Grant’s pupils darken, and even the smile on her face turned rigid.
The Grant Family, having greeted Old Master Seys, wandered casually at the party. Mother Grant pointed to Dawn Sutherland, who was elegantly conversing and laughing with others, and asked her daughter, "Daisy, that’s the second young master of the Sutherland Family, right?"
Daisy Grant’s gaze had already fallen on Dawn Sutherland. Hearing her mother’s question, she reluctantly retracted her gaze and replied gently, "Yes, that’s the second brother."
She had liked her second brother for more than ten years.
"I rember you used to play with him often. But after you went abroad, he never ca to the Grant Family again, and since you returned, you haven’t seen him co around either."
"Yes." Daisy Grant’s voice was sowhat heavy.
Ti has taken away past warmth, and her second brother’s detachnt from her had beco apparent even to her mother. Second brother, if you say you didn’t deliberately distance yourself from , I really wouldn’t believe it.
But second brother, why? Do we really have to transition from familiarity to estrangent and then to being strangers?
Daisy Grant felt a bitterness in her heart.
While Daisy Grant was lost in thought, Mother Grant’s voice resonated again, "Speaking of which, both sons of the Sutherland Family aren’t bad. This Dawn Sutherland also seems quite good, but it’s a pity he’s an illegitimate child."
