Chapter 1494

They heard that Yorrick and Xyla were expecting a daughter.

The Hathaways had to prepare to welcome the arrival of their daughter, so they couldn’t attend
Nicholas’s birthday party.

Nolan looked at Jackie and asked, "I thought you were married? Where's your wife?"

Jackie’s face sank when he heard Nolan’s question.

Everyone knew that he had married Violet when he returned to Octavia three years ago.

They had had a small wedding in a small outdoor setting and had invited less than 100 guests, keeping
a low profile.

The media had been keeping an eye on them before their marriage.

However, Jackie and Violet seldom appeared in public, and even though they were caught on camera
by the media, it was either Jackie alone or Violet shopping with her friends.

The media had a lot of speculation about their marriage, but they cleared everyone's doubts by saying
that there wasn’t any problem in their marriage.

However, no one knew the truth.

Jackie calmed himself down and said, "Something came up, so she went home."

Nicholas chuckled and chimed in.

"It's okay.I'm very happy that everyone can take time to come to my birthday party.If she has something
to attend to, we can't force her to come either.After all, everyone's here today to have fun and enjoy
themselves."



"Grandpa."

Daisie jumped to Nicholas’ side and wrapped her arms around his.

"I have a present for you."

"Really?"

Nicholas looked at her.

"What kind of present have you prepared for me this time?"

Suddenly, the voice of a parrot erupted in the distance.

"Big Spender wishes Grandpa happy birthday."

Saydie brought the parrot over, and it began singing the Birthday Song.

Nicholas was momentarily stunned before he burst into laughter.

"Good, good, good.I like your present very much, Daisie."

The gift that Waylon prepared was rather expensive.

It was a Champlevé Aromatic Oil Burner Champlevé was an enameling technique or a decorative
object made by the champlevé process.

It was a unique, delicate, and exquisite technique that was used in ancient times.

It wouldn’t be far-fetched to call it a gorgeous piece o f collection.

While everyone was stunned by Waylon’s present, some of them mumbled, "Even though he’s still
young, he isn’t ordinary."



"Yeah.I heard that he looks like Mr.Goldmann the most among the three kids.I’m sure he’ll become
even more outstanding than his father."

Maisie turned her head to look at Waylon.

Perhaps because Waylon had been training overseas these few years, he was more mature than
Colton and Daisie.

He was her kid as well, and she felt sorry for him.He should have grown up under their protection, but
he chose to be the one to protect them.

Nolan wrapped his arm around her shoulders and asked, "What’s wrong, Zee?"

"I'm thinking whether Waylon has a hard time since he's in another country."

She was his mother, yet she did not carry out her responsibility to take care of him.

As such, she felt that she owed him something.

Nolan grabbed her into his arms and said, "It's better for him to train himself early since he'll have an
easier time later after he grows up.Besides, it's good for him to be independent early too."

Disengaging from parental help was not bad for the child.

At least, it would give the kid a better perception of how the world worked.

If the kids stayed with their parents, the parents would always help them solve their problems, this
would create a wrong impression for them that the world would always be kind to them.

However, kids had to grow up one day, and they had to face their problems themselves.



They would get crushed easily when they realized that the world was not what they thought it was.

Although it was tough for Waylon to grow up away from his parents, he had learned a lot of things.

He could basically solve every problem himself, and that was the reason Titus had decided to bring him
to Stoslo back then.
