「Nine months later.」
「The courtyard of the manor in Novaterra.」
A dining table covered with a checkered tablecloth was set on the lawn. A family of four sat in four white chairs around it. On the table sat a birthday cake as tall as a tower. It had eight layers, representing the children's age, and a number 8 was placed at the very top.
Today was Sarah and Felicity's eighth birthday.
The happy family gathered around the table. Miles Xavier lit the candles and asked the girls to sing the birthday song.
"Daddy, which language should we sing the birthday song in? The Chinese version, the English version, or the French version?" asked Sarah. With her hair in two braided pigtails, she was no longer the willful little girl of a few years ago. Now, she was bright and adorable, and her grades were excellent.
