588 Birthday Present
Dominic saw Tammy the moment she walked into the room. He stared at her as if he couldn’t take his eyes.off her Tammy shone like a star that was even more dazzling than the bright chandelier. Whenever he looked at her, his heart beat faster, and his palms sweat
Ever since Tammy entered the hall, Dominic had been staring at her
He watched her as she walked around the venue to greet the guests. And he was disappointed when he noticed that many young boys were staring at her as much as he was
Later on, the host asked Tammy and Matthew to come on stage. They sang the birthday song together and then cut the multi-tiered cake. Wayne then announced that the party was started
It wasn’t until then that Tammy was free. When she saw him after she left the stage Tammy moved quickly towards Dominic. Every step she took seemed to step on his heart, causing it to beat like a drum
Dominic had been waiting for Tammy to become an adult for the past two years, but she had no idea about that. The day he had been anticipating had finally arrived. He had promised her brother that he would only ask her if she wanted to date him after she was 18. So, Dominic was relieved that he no longer had to hide his feelings for her
“Tammy, you look stunning today! You have the vitality of sunflowers and the charm of lilies,” From the bottom of his heart, he complimented her
Tammy couldn’t help but smile shyly when she heard this straightforward compliment. “Thank you very much,
Dominic!”
“But I’ve heard that appointments for custom jewelry must be made six months in advance. So, how did you manage to customize it right before my birthday?” Tammy asked, perplexed
“I ordered this bracelet last year, but they only finished it this year.”
“Huh? Is this the gift you had planned to give me last year?” Tammy was even more taken aback
“Nope. I already decided to give this to you for your eighteenth birthday last year.”
Really? You’ve been preparing this perfect gift for me since last year? Tammy thought. Her face flushed instantly, and her heart beat like a drum
Dominic stroked her hair and gently asked, “Do you like it?”
After taking the bracelet out of the box, Tammy carefully examined it
“Are these real diamonds? This must have cost a fortune!” She asked, thinking that the gift was way too costly
“It’s fine. I’m happy that you like it. Do you need me to put it on for you?”
“Thanks!”
Then Dominic placed the gleaming diamond bracelet on Tammy’s delicate wrist. And the diamonds glowed brightly in the light, enhancing her skin’s radiance
“Tammy!” From a distance, Alicia came running towards them. As she approached them, she noticed the diamond
bracelet on Tammy’s wrist
“Wow! This is beautiful! Did Dominic give it to you?” Alicia asked
Tammy nodded her head, smiling. A few minutes later, Matthew walked over to them behind Alicia. After seeing the bracelet on Tammy’s ~ wrist and Dominic’s tender smile, he frowned. He knew the day had finally arrived. Ma«hew thought to himself, My worst nightmare has come true! Dominic, you haven’t given up hitting on my sister yet? She’s just turned eighteen today! Thinking of that, Matthew felt depressed, as if Tammy were his daughter
“Tammy, could you go to the restroom with me? Gosh… I feel so terrible right now. I shouldn’t have drunk so much champagne earlier,” Alicia said as she grabbed Tammy’s sleeve
“Let’s go. We’ll be right back, Matthew.”
Matthew cast a wary glance at Dominic after the two girls had left
Then Matthew asked Dominic wearily.”You can’t hold back anymore, can you?
“What’s the problem, Matthew? I kept my word for the last two years
I didn’t hit on her until she was eighteen, and I never even told Tammy about my feelings for her. I have no reason to wait now that she is an adult
As you may have noticed, a lot of boys around her are interested in her NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
They’ll take her away from me if I don’t do something about it.” Dominic smiled as if he wasn’t even trying to defend himself when he said that
“Humph! Are you sure she has feelings for you? Actually, she has a lot of better options,” said Matthew
“I’ll do my best to show her what a good guy I am. Look, how many young men do you think are better than me in this room?” Dominic asked, pointing to those young men. He then took a glass of champagne from the wajter’s tray and drank it all at once. The way Dominic drank wine was elegant, and Matthew could tell he was a well-educated
young man
“Are you that confident?” Matthew asked, looking at him dismissively
“I’m much more confident than you think.” Dominic seized Matthew up with suspicion and asked, “You’re not going to sabotage my relationship with Tammy, are you? You should know that your sister will grow up and start dating boys sooner or later. I hope you won’t say anything negative about me to her.”
“Do you honestly believe rd do something like that?” Matthew asked, his brow furrowed
Dominic patted Matthew on the shoulder and said, “I hope you won’t
You’d know I’m a nice guy if you get to know me better. Besides, I’m just as wealthy as you are. Don’t you think I’d be the ideal person for Tammy to date?”
“I don’t think so,” Matthew replied coldly
“I could help you expand your business to London,” Dominic thought for a moment before saying
“You don’t have to do that. In my family, we never sacrifice anyone’s happiness for profit. My parents and I just want her to be happy.”
“Fine. If she becomes my girlfriend, I’ll make her the happiest girl on the planet.
“Are you serious?” Matthew asked
“Without a doubt. I haven’t dated any of the girls in the last two years because I really like Tammy,” Dominic said. He even put away his smile and wore an anxious expression when he said that
“When will you tell her who you really are, Dominic Deleon?” Matthew asked. He said Dominic’s full name aloud on purpose, trying to provoke him
“You didn’t tell her? I knew you’d looked into me, so I assumed you’d told her long ago. I never intended to keep it from you.”
“You should tell her yourself,” Matthew said
“Maybe.”
After a while, the screen next to the stage began to display photos of Matthew and Tammy. Dominic smiled as he saw Tammy’s childhood pictures. At the same time, Matthew stood next to him, explaining what happened when each photo was taken
Suddenly, there was a shout from the ballroom’s entrance. Many people walked out to see what was going on. Then someone yelled, “Oh no! Something happened in the restroom!”
Dominic and Matthew exchanged glances before running fast towards the restroom
“Ah!”
Yet, before they even got to the restroom, they heard someone screaming. At that critical moment, Matthew felt his heart skip a beat
