Chapter 265 The Only One
Seeing that Steve was excited, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to hold him and patted his back to comfort him. “Old Mr. Delacruz, Mr. Delacruz used to be busy with work, and he did pay less attention to family matters. That’s why he didn’t know about Ms. Koch’s birthday…”
It was fine if he didn’t say it, but when he heard it, the old man was sullen again.
“Busy? How busy can one be!”
He frowned, his hand shaking as he pointed at Gavyn. “You’ve lived in the same house for three years. What if I ask you something? This guy clearly doesn’t trust Aylin!”
“I…”
Gavyn’s knuckles curled up, and he was rendered speechless.
He couldn’t refute that his father was right. In the past three years, he had
been blinded by Laila Marsh and stumped by work, and there was almost no space left for Aylin in his heart.
And Aylin treated him meticulously. He even had to flip through the recipes.
and prescriptions before he dared to serve a bowl of ordinary soup, for fear of hurting his spleen and stomach.
But he had been in the same bed for so long that he didn’t even remember the
other party’s birthday. He really didn’t fulfill his duty as a husband.
Why is that?
Gavyn asked himself this question. He was irritated, but more than that, he felt guilty.
He lowered his head slightly. “It’s my negligence.”
Gavyn, who was cold and indifferent, lowered his head and admitted hist
mistake.
“You know it’s your negligence! What about compensation? Do you think. simply admitting it will be enough? You haven’t even reflected on your
mistakes…”
The old man stopped abruptly halfway. As if he was in a hurry, he choked and
was about to faint.
“Grandpa!”
Gavyn’s expression changed abruptly, and he rushed over to support Steve.
The butler was also frightened. “Old Mr. Delacruz, calm down!”
The two of them supported each other and worked together to send the old
man upstairs.
Gavyn placed Steve’s oxygen tube down, and the butler opened the window for ventilation. After a long time, Steve’s eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his
eyes.
Gavyn let out a sigh of relief. “Grandpa, how are you feeling now?”
“If you can listen to me without pissing me off, I can live for a few more years!” The old man snorted with a stern face, “What are you waiting for? There is a butler here. Go and prepare Aylin’s gift!”
With Steve’s reminder, Gavyn realized that he really needed to do something.
Today might be a good start.
Gavyn quickly made a call. “Lloyd, come and pick me up.”
After that, he turned around and said goodbye to the old man, “I’m going out for a while. Take care of yourself.”
The butler comforted him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Delacruz. I’m here. I’ll take good
care of Old Mr. Delacruz.”
After ensuring Steve’s safety, Gavyn left quickly.
The tall and handsome figure quickly disappeared from sight.
“Although Mr. Delacruz doesn’t know much about emotions, he’s not that bad. Look at how filial he is to you. He always cares about your health.”
The butler brought a glass of warm water for Steve and helped him drink it slowly, scolding the latter a little, “Don’t be too excited, Old Mr. Delacruz. It’s not good for your health if you faint.”
Steve waved his hand and stood up slowly.
“Old Mr. Delacruz!”
The butler was startled and hurriedly went to help him.
“I’m fine. I just want to pretend to wake Gavyn up. Sometimes, he just can’t think straight!”
The butler’s outstretched hand froze, and then he said helplessly, “Old Mr. Delacruz, you scared me to death. But your method really works. It seems that you have figured things out.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“In my heart, I only love Aylin. How can I let go of such a good granddaughter-in-law?”
Steve sighed. “It depends on Gavyn’s performance. I can only try my best to set them up.”
He added, “Man proposes; the heavens dispose.”
Aylin didn’t know that someone was worried about her at that moment. With her family by her side, it didn’t even take much time for her to come home.
The butler took Aylin’s coat and made hot coffee for her. “Miss, you came back at a good time. The gifts have been delivered. Please open them and have a
look.”

On the table was a delicately wrapped gift box with pink ribbons. It was a gift
from Suzanne.
She opened it and saw a rose gold diamond necklace from a famous jewelry
store. The chain was full of diamonds, and there was a huge ruby on the
pendant. It was very generous.
There was also a greeting card underneath, written in delicate handwriting:
[Happy birthday to my baby! You’re getting prettier by the day, holding the big heroine script all the way!]
After reading the letter, there was a playful expression on her face.
Aylin burst out laughing.
Robert glanced sideways and smiled. “Not bad. This gift is quite
personalized.”
Aylin immediately said, “She’s the daughter of the Bennett family. She’s kind and elegant. Would you like to meet her?”
Robert waved his hand and said, “No, no. I only like racing now.”
Aylin didn’t say anything more and turned to look at the second gift box.
Inside was a rare Dior watch from Daniel.
Daniel and Suzanne were equivalent to her family, so it was not difficult for her to return the gifts.
Only when introducing the third gift box did the butler hesitate for a moment, “Miss, this is from Old Mr. Delacruz. He asked you to take it.
Aylin lowered her eyes slightly, and they darkened.
No one in the Delacruz family remembered her birthday, except for her grandfather.

In the past three years, only Steve would seriously prepare gifts for her and
would instruct the kitchen to make a birthday cake for her.
It was the only warmth she felt during that time.
Aylin opened the box.
A delicate hairpin lay quietly on the blue velvet cloth. She noticed that the
hairpin’s body was almost transparent and realized it was the shape of something.
The hairpin was engraved with a phoenix pattern, and a round and glossy pearl was inlaid in it. It was adorned with delicate and slender tassels, which were beautiful under the light.
There was a beautiful card under the hairpin, which read: [Aylin, happy birthday. Everything is fine.]
Everyone present was knowledgeable about goods, and they could tell at a
glance that the hairpin was worth a lot. The emerald used to make the base material alone was already a good material that even money couldn’t buy.
Harry turned his head slightly. “Gifts are better than his grandson’s.”
“Look at it, Harry. I like it.”
Robert couldn’t help but laugh. Even though he was used to seeing good things, he couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the hairpin. “Although the old man of the Delacruz family is old, he is very discerning. This hairpin does match Aylin!”
Aylin picked up the hairpin and gently stroked it, imagining Steve holding her hand and calling her “Aylin” affectionately.
“Grandpa is very good to me. He is the only sensible person in the Delacruz family.”
She added, “I want to respect and love him as an elder, but unfortunately…”

Robert couldn’t hold back his anger and said indignantly, “It’s not a pity; it’s
hateful. But I hate that guy, Gavyn, for being blind. He doesn’t even know how to cherish his marriage. I have to teach him a lesson!”
Harry held back his excitement and said, “It’s done.”
Aylin put the hairpin back into the box with a gloomy expression. “After all,
it’s not fated, is it?”
