Jessica looked at Amy and Meg with a happy smile on her face. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Amy. Thank you, Uncle Meg."
"Mr. Meg, Amy, you're here." Rebecca walked to the door and was surprised to see Meg and Amy. She hurriedly said, "It's cold outside. Please come in."
"Okay." Meg carried the cake into the house. Although the house was still simple after the renovation, there was at least an intact wooden table and four stools in the room.
Meg gently placed the ice cream cake in his hand on the edge of the table. It looked like Rebecca and Jessica were eating dinner. There was still half a bowl of rice in it, and there were only two simple boiled vegetables on the table.
"Father made you an ice cream cake. Why don't we eat the cake first?" Amy said as she held Jessica's hand.
"Okay." Jessica nodded and smiled. "This is the first time I've celebrated a birthday with cake."
"I'm sorry to have made you spend so much money." Rebecca was cleaning up the table as she spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression. She had been constantly hearing rumors about Mamy Restaurant during this period of time. Regardless of whether it was the hundreds of people lining up every day or the fact that a single dish could easily cost several hundred copper coins, all of those things seemed so distant to her.
Today was not a day off. Mr. Meg had brought a cake and accompanied Amy to celebrate Jessica's birthday. That kind of friendship and sincerity was not something a cake could compare to.
"Amy and Jessica are very good friends. I'm also surprised that she remembered her birthday. Of course I should celebrate with them." Meg said with a smile. He was indeed a little surprised by Amy's memory. After all, the little girl's mind was filled with food most of the time. He didn't expect her to remember her friend's birthday.
Seeing that Rebecca had already cleaned up the table, Meg placed the ice cream cake in the middle of the table and opened the outer shell to reveal the cake inside.
"Wow, what a beautiful cake!" Jessica looked at the exquisite cake and her eyes lit up. Especially when she saw the two figures on the cake. One was her, and the other was her mother. She was pleasantly surprised. She couldn't help but look at Meg and say, "Uncle Meg is amazing. These two figures look like me and my mother."
"Yeah, it's just like the real thing." Rebecca looked at the two figures on the cake in amazement.
"According to our tradition, make a wish on the cake, then blow out the candles, and the wish may be granted." Meg lit up a circle of small candles, and looked at Jessica with a smile.
"Will it really come true?" Jessica closed her eyes devoutly when she heard this. After a while, she opened her eyes and blew out all the candles in one breath.
"Jessica, what did you wish for?" Amy asked curiously.
Jessica smiled and said, "My wish is: I hope that Ai Mi and I can be best friends forever."
"Silly, it won't come true if you say it out loud." Ai Mi stroked Jessica's head with a doting smile, and said, "However, I can fulfill this wish for you. Of course, we'll be best friends forever."
"Okay." A happy smile appeared on Jessica's face.
"By the way, I want to give you the gift I prepared." Amy took out the gift she had prepared and handed it to Jessica.
Jessica took the gift box, and under Amy's urging, she opened the box and revealed the golden conch inside.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! Is this a conch you picked up from the beach? " Jessica's eyes lit up, and she happily picked up the golden conch that was as big as two of her hands. The brilliant golden color covered the entire conch, and it seemed to glow.
Amy nodded and said, "Yes, this is the most beautiful conch I found at the beach. Put it next to your ear and you can hear the sound of the sea."
"It's true! I can hear the sound of the sea! " Jessica put her ear close to the mouth of the conch and looked at Amy in surprise. "I like this gift. I love the sea. Thank you, Amy."
"You're welcome. If Jessica likes it, I'm also very happy," Amy said with a smile. She also put her ear to the conch and giggled.
Meg looked at this scene with a smile. The friendship between the two little ones had been established under very difficult conditions. If it could continue to be good, then it would indeed be very beautiful.
After removing the candles, Jessica and Amy cut open the ice cream cake together. The two little ones ate the cake happily and talked about happy things that belonged to children.
Rebecca silently looked at Jessica, who was full of smiles, and her eyes were slightly red.
"Mrs. Rebecca, are you used to working in Suede?" Meg asked with a smile.
"Yes, Miss Gloria is a very kind boss. Working in Suede is the happiest job I've had so far." Rebecca nodded.
Meg looked at her unconsciously overflowing smile and could tell that she really did like this job.
After staying at Jessica's house for nearly two hours and waiting for the two little ones to have fun, Meg finally left with Amy.
"Father, I'm so happy today," Amy said happily as she lay on Meg's back.
"Then Father will accompany you to play more often in the future, okay?" Meg also said with a smile. Carrying Amy on his back, they walked out onto the main street. It wasn't easy to see a carriage on the road.
"Okay!" Amy's eyes lit up, but she thought for a moment and shook her head. "No, if that's the case, the uncles and aunties who come to eat will definitely be very sad. If I monopolize Father, then they won't be able to eat delicious food."
"It's okay, Father will strive to spend more time with Amy in the future." Meg felt a little guilty. With the restaurant and all sorts of other things combined, he was always so busy. He really didn't have enough time to accompany Amy.
"It's okay, as long as I can eat Father's delicious food every day, Amy will be super happy," Amy whispered, her voice full of satisfaction.
Meg continued to walk forward with Amy on his back. They walked past several intersections, but they still didn't see a carriage.
"Help! Help! "
At this moment, a shrill and frightened female voice suddenly came from an alley to the side.
"Father, it seems like there's a bad guy bullying a big sister over there!" Amy straightened her body, looked around, and pointed to the alley on the right.
"Then let's go take a look." Meg also confirmed the direction of the voice. It was the dark alley on the right, and he quickly walked toward it.
The hurried and frightened female voice went in a direction far away from them, as if she was running away, but also as if she had been kidnapped.
