Chapter 378: Peach Blossom Rain at the Mountain Top

Emma Hart leaned against the car window, her eyes half-open, watching the constantly changing scenery. Suddenly, a strange pool came into view.

"Wait, wait! Stop the car!" Emma Hart shouted urgently.

The driver immediately stopped the car.

"What’s wrong, Emma?" Lucy Allen asked. Over the past few days, their relationship had grown so close that they were on a first-name basis.

Emma Hart quickly opened the car door and beckoned everyone to get out and join her.

In front of her was a small pool filled with glittering coins. A stone plaque beside it read, "Wishing Well."

"Hey, look! This is so interesting. Let’s play!" Emma Hart said, running to ask Damien Sterling for some coins.

Reluctantly, Damien Sterling had Assistant Lee give Emma Hart a coin to pacify her, but Emma Hart pulled him out of the car too, almost messing up his collar, making him look quite disheveled.

Watching from the side, Assistant Lee and the driver exchanged smiles. Mr. Sterling was becoming more and more easygoing.

Ryan Garcia and Lucy Allen didn’t mind; they each made a wish at the Wishing Well along with Emma Hart.

Under Emma Hart’s coercion, Damien Sterling also tossed a coin and made a wish.

To pass the boring car ride, Emma Hart began asking everyone what they had wished for.

Lucy Allen told her that she wished for her children to be smart and well-behaved. But who knew if that was true or not?

As for Damien Sterling and Ryan Garcia, they refused to reveal their wishes.

So, when Damien Sterling asked Emma Hart about her wish, she also chose not to answer.

Back in City A, Damien Sterling, Emma Hart, and Lucy Allen went straight to Sterling Group.

Ryan Garcia sat in a café next to their company, playing games.

Inside Sterling Group, Damien Sterling called an emergency meeting. Emma Hart had a feeling it would take a long time, so instead of sitting through it, she faked feeling unwell and stayed in the office to watch movies.

In the café next to Sterling Group, Ryan Garcia ordered an iced coffee and sat alone in a corner, lost in thought.

Since Lucy Allen’s words yesterday, he had been distracted, constantly wondering if he really liked Emma Hart.

"Ah! Fuck!" he muttered, angrily ruffling his hair.

"Hey! Isn’t that Ryan Garcia?" a soft female voice came from beside him.

"Lucy Allen? What are you doing here?" Ryan Garcia looked at her in surprise.

Lucy Allen sighed, mimicking Ryan Garcia’s earlier eye roll, and said, "Come on, this is right below Sterling Group. What’s so strange about coming down to get a coffee?"

Damien Sterling’s brother was really quite clueless.

"Oh, right!" Ryan Garcia finally realized.

His lovesick expression piqued Lucy Allen’s interest. It must be because of what she said last night that this guy was starting to worry, she thought.

She proactively sat across from Ryan Garcia, watching the lovestruck young man with interest.

"What are you thinking about, little brother?" Lucy Allen asked.

"Little brother?" Ryan Garcia’s eyes widened with indignation. "How could I be younger than you?"

Indeed, by their birthdates, he and Lucy Allen were the same age.

"Just look at how lovesick you are. Aren’t you my little brother?" Lucy Allen burst out laughing.

She was spot on; Ryan Garcia was quite the flirt, but he had never truly fallen for a woman before.

"You like Emma Hart," Lucy Allen said calmly.

"No, I don’t," Ryan Garcia answered bluntly.

"Why not?" Lucy Allen pressed on with another question.

"Because she’s my brother’s woman! How could I like her?" Ryan Garcia found Lucy Allen’s question bewildering.

"What if she wasn’t Damien Sterling’s woman? Would you like her then?" Lucy Allen asked with a mischievous grin.

The question seemed to catch Ryan Garcia off guard. He lowered his head, pondering, and was surprised at his own reaction to a question he already knew the answer to.

"No," he finally replied after a long pause.

"I hope you’re being honest. Bye," Lucy Allen said, taking her packed cup of cappuccino and leaving the café where Ryan Garcia sat.

These people’s stories are becoming more and more interesting.

Damien Sterling’s meeting didn’t end until 8 PM, which meant he couldn’t pick up the kids again tonight.

When he returned to his office, Emma Hart was already asleep under a light blanket, while his tall secretary faithfully stood guard at the door, leaving only when Damien Sterling returned.

"You’re back?" Emma Hart asked softly, propping herself up slightly as Damien Sterling opened the door.

"Yes, I’m back." Damien Sterling knelt on one knee in front of the sofa to kiss the little figure tightly wrapped in a white blanket.

"Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere," Damien Sterling said, helping the groggy Emma Hart put on her shoes.

The purple Bugatti roared dominantly down the road.

Damien Sterling drove Emma Hart to a hilltop with the best night view of City A.

The purple Bugatti stopped at the best viewing spot. Emma Hart pulled her hoodie over her head to shield herself from the cold wind.

"What made you think of bringing me here?" The beautiful scenery deeply captivated her. Women always love this kind of romantic atmosphere.

Damien Sterling checked his phone. There was one minute left until midnight.

"Close your eyes. Open them when I count to one," Damien Sterling said gently.

"Okay," Emma Hart softly closed her eyes.

"Nine, eight... three, two... one!" As Damien Sterling’s voice fell, Emma Hart eagerly opened her eyes.

She was instantly surrounded by a beautiful night scene and countless falling peach blossom petals.

"This is..." Emma Hart was incredibly surprised.

This peach blossom shower was specially prepared by Damien Sterling to celebrate Emma Hart’s birthday. He opened the trunk, revealing her favorite jasmine, sunflowers, and peach blossoms.

In his hand, Damien Sterling held a crystal necklace shaped like a peach blossom. "Happy birthday, Emma Hart!"

The surprise was so sudden that she had forgotten today was her birthday.
