Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy

Rae was suddenly a little regretful, as since she had made more friends at school, she had never went to the Knight family to find Jensen. From her memories, besides Jensen, everyone else in the Knight family were extraordinarily terrible. Further, after experiencing the wide gap between the rich and the poor in school, she never wanted to see her mother being meek and subservient before the people of the Knight family so she had never gone again. Moreover, Jensen had studied in an international school and they were totally lived in two worlds, so they had no chance to meet anymore. She was thinking, if she had insisted on going to the Knight family, would she have many unforgettable sweet memories with Jensen for her to recall back now?

Rae thought simply.

Suddenly Flora patted herself on the head as if she remembered something important, and she blurt out “I almost forgot, oh sir, the matriarch reminds you that you have to go to Miss Karina’s birthday party next month.” After saying, Flora mumbled a date.

“…!!!” Rae looked at Jensen on instinct, it was actually the same day as her birthday!! Such a coincidence?? This time Matriarch Knight had even specifically asked Flora to inform Jensen to go, so she must had privately reminded beforehand. When on earth did Jensen found out about this, and why didn’t he tell her?!

Then what was his plan?

Was it to go to Karina’s birthday party, yes??

Rae was originally not so mindful of such a thing as birthdays, and at first, she had not thought of holding any parties. But seeing Jensen organizing it for her every year as usual, she had eventually gotten used to it. It was just as if someone prepared breakfast for you everyday and one day they stopped it. She knew that she should be grateful for the things before, but inside she would still mind about it, about why this time it was not prepared.

He was surely preparing for others, right?

Rae pursed her lips, the unhappiness from the afternoon bubbled up again, even being more than before.

Jensen did not expect that Flora would switch topics so suddenly, even if he wanted to interrupt, he could not. But on second thought, it was not far from her birthday now, she still had to know about something like this did exist. Jensen took a look at Rae, and merely replied lightly, “Alright.”

He did not give off any hint.

“… I heard that the Clark family wanted to rent the topmost floor of the James Group Building to hold Miss Karina’s birthday party, but Mr James’ side kept insisting not to lend, and now both sides are in conflict. I even heard from the maid of the James family, that the dining and hotels at the James Group Building was frequently disturbed by gangsters at night recently, and Mr James had not been able to sleep well for a few days. Who knows if they were sent by the members of the Clark family? Well, if he didn’t want to lend then so be it, this sort of coercing method was really too despicable.” Flora went on. As a servant, they usually liked to talk about something at home when they had nothing to do normally. As they exchanged more information, they would know more than others.

Rae finally understood, not only that her birthday was the same day as hers, and even the place which they held their birthday parties were the same, was there such a coincidence? But looking at Karina’s behaviour before she obviously did not know who she was, so it looked as if someone in the Clark family knew about her existence? Wanted to put her in her place through this way? She knew that for the topmost floor to close a few days for her would endure quite heavy losses every day, and Reuben did not accept money from Jensen, saying that this was her birthday present. She thought that Reuben was so good to her, but now, she brought troubles to him.

went back home. Seeing that Jensen was still sitting on the couch reading the papers, she noticed that he hadn’t turned the pages for a long time, and she knew that he was surely distracted thinking of something. She then walked over, sat on his lap and took the initiative to put her arms around his neck. “Jensen, I suddenly have a thought. Actually it’s pretty boring to hold it in the same place every year, what if

But he did not expect that she conceded considerately which made him instantly uncomfortable. He closed the papers and put them aside, his arm wrapped around her waist and he rubbed lightly against her clothes as he asked slowly, “You said you wanted to hold a costume party, aren’t you?

She emphasized her reminder, “Anyways, if you’re in dilemma you can just tell me. I’m flexible and I wouldn’t die even if there’s no birthday party, why be in such a dilemma? Look at Reuben, he hasn’t slept in a few nights, is it really
