My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 132 Birthday Party

Richard didn't come back for John's birthday. The birthday party was very lively and many people came to congratulate John on his birthday.

Mr. Newell came to the birthday party with his wife. Since Mr. Newell had come, there was no reason for others to refuse.

Halbert and Richard weren't here today, so William and Jacob had to receive the guests. Cathy and her two daughters-in-law would arrange seats for them.

Today, John was wearing a handsome suit, which made him look exceptionally energetic.

Sitting in the hall, he was receiving everyone's wishes and grinning from ear to ear.

The Newell couple were honored guests. Cathy seated them in the quietest place and asked Amy to greet them.

"Mr. and Mrs. Newell, please come with me." Amy was wearing a purple dress today. Her hair was done in a bun and her beautiful neck was exposed.

Sophia noticed that Mr. Newell kept looking at Amy. She guessed that Mr. Newell was interested in Amy and she planned to embarrass her.

"Mr. and Mrs. Newell, please take a rest here. I will tell you when the dinner begins." Amy kept smiling and the Newells were fond of her. "What a good girl," Mr. Newell praised.

"Mr. Newell, you're flattering me. Please take a rest. I'm going to meet the other guests," said Amy politely. She walked out to greet the other guests. "Jacob, Sophia, you're busy." Allison followed her family to the birthday party.

Allison said hello to everyone and even gave Amy a special greeting. Although Allison was smiling, Amy felt chilly.

Sophia arranged the seats for the Fields. Amy did not know where their seats were. In any case, she did not want to see Allison.

As the dinner began, Amy went to invite Mr. and Mrs. Newell. When she walked out, she saw Jacob and Allison together. They looked very intimate.

"Amy, I haven't seen you for a long time," Allison called out to Amy. Amy only nodded and continued her work.

Allison pretended to feel wronged. Jacob looked coldly at Amy and thought that she had no manners at all.

"Allison, don't mind her. She is from a lowly family and she is so rude." Jacob comforted Allison.

"Will you tell Grandpa about our relationship later?" Allison asked shyly as she held Jacob's arm.

"Yes. You're my girlfriend. I've wanted to tell everyone. I'll announce it at the dinner later." Jacob was in a particularly good mood today. He loved Allison and finally got her. "Jacob, you are so good to me," Allison said cheerfully and delighted Jacob.

Amy had been married before and the Carters knew about it. However, Allison was different. She was pure and elegant, and Jacob was proud of that.

"You deserve it. You are a good girl. I will be nice to you with all my life," Jacob swore to Allison.

Allison covered his mouth and stopped him as if she were very concerned about him.

As the dinner began, everyone toasted John's health. They said a lot of best wishes such as "many happy returns".

In a good mood, John drank the glass of wine in one mouthful.

At the dinner, Amy, Cathy, and Sophia were busy checking if all the dishes were served to the tables. There were too many people and a lot of dishes and they were afraid that something would go wrong. When the dishes were almost all served, they were about to take their seats. John's table was full. Allison was sitting beside Jacob and Amy had no seat.

"Amy, we have a seat here." Mrs. Newell looked at Amy and beckoned her to sit down.

Sophia saw that it was Mr. Newell who asked Mrs. Newell to call Amy. She was more certain that Mr. Newell was coveting Amy. So she worked out a plan. While everyone was eating, Jacob stood up.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to my grandfather's birthday party. On behalf of the Carters, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you." After he finished speaking, he drank his glass of wine. The other people followed.

"Secondly, I'll tell you a piece of joyous news. From today onwards, I am not single anymore. I have a girlfriend. She is Miss Allison Field." Then, he drank another glass of wine.

However, everyone was dumbfounded. Wasn't Allison the woman Richard had loved? Why did she become Jacob's girlfriend now? No one knew the complicated affairs of a wealthy family. Someone finished the glass and others followed.

"Lastly, Best wishes to my grandfather. Many happy returns of the day!" Jacob was joyful and he livened things up with fine-sounding words.

After he finished his three glasses of wine, the room became lively. Everyone was toasting and talking to each other.

John was delighted when he heard that his eldest grandson had a girlfriend. However, he was surprised that it was Allison. What was going on with his grandsons? Forget it, he didn't want to meddle with their things.

After taking some food, John was tired, so he went back to his room for a rest.

The guest toasted Amy one after another. Amy did not drink wine but juice.

Sophia also walked over to Amy. She had toasted the guests. Now she was going to toast Amy. Amy's glass happened to be empty.

"Someone, bring me a drink," Sophia asked someone to bring another drink over and handed it to Amy.

"Amy, we're family from now on. Let's forget about the old grudges. Here's a toast to you," said Sophia and she raised her glass. The glasses clinked and they finished drinking.

After toasting, Sophia left Amy's table and returned to her seat to eat.

Amy had drunk a lot of juice and wanted to go to the bathroom. When she stood up, she felt a little dizzy, so she clutched at the table for support.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
