Overbearing CEO's Contract Love
Chapter 379: Your Birthday

Chapter 379: Your Birthday

"To... today is my birthday! That’s right! I almost forgot!" Emma Hart suddenly realized with delight that it was April 15th, her birthday.

"You silly girl!" Damien Sterling gently tapped her nose, chilled by the evening breeze, and pulled her into his arms.

Emma Hart’s heart was filled with indescribable joy. She was especially grateful that someone remembered her birthday.

"I want to take a picture!" Emma Hart suddenly jumped out of Damien Sterling’s embrace and demanded, "Isn’t it said you get to make three wishes on your birthday? This is my first wish!"

Damien Sterling smiled helplessly and said, "Alright." Growing another year older, yet still behaving like a child.

Emma Hart excitedly pulled out her phone from her pocket, capturing the moment while the rain of peach blossoms still fell from the sky.

These peach blossoms were released by a drone.

Immediately, Emma Hart posted the picture on social media.

Since it was windy on the mountaintop and Emma Hart had just recovered from a serious illness, they stayed for only a short while before driving away.

Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia was sitting in a café next to Sterling Group, bored and scrolling through his social media feed.

He was the only customer left in the café, and the table was cluttered with various coffee cups.

"Let’s see if there are any pretty girls around!" Trying to divert his attention, searching for new prey seemed like the best way.

He sipped his coffee while scrolling through his feed.

When his screen paused on a set of nearby photos, he unconsciously swallowed the coffee he had just sipped, choking on it. Ryan Garcia coughed violently, startling the half-asleep bartender at the counter.

Luckily, it was a 24-hour café; otherwise, Ryan Garcia would have been kicked out long ago.

He stared intently at the photos on his phone, not blinking an eye.

They were photos of Emma Hart and Damien Sterling in the rain of peach blossoms, with a significant number of likes and comments wishing her a happy birthday.

So... today is her birthday... but it seems to have nothing to do with me.

The next morning, Emma Hart got up early as usual to prepare breakfast and iron clothes for Damien Sterling.

The difference today was that Damien Sterling told Emma Hart to stay home and not go to the company.

"But I want to go!" Today, surprisingly, Emma Hart insisted on going to the company with Damien Sterling.

"Didn’t you find staying at the company boring?" Damien Sterling asked. A woman’s heart really changes quickly, but it made things interesting.

"But I just want to go today!" Emma Hart seemed determined to stick with Damien Sterling today.

"You’ve just recovered. Stay home and rest for a few days. I’ll have someone from the clothing store bring over some clothes for you to choose from. Tonight, we’ll go out to eat." After saying this, Damien Sterling left the Sterling family villa with Assistant Lee.

The children were also taken to the early education center, leaving only Mrs. Harris to talk to at home.

"Woof! Woof!" Came the sound of barking from the floor-to-ceiling window leading to the front yard.

"Bailey!" Emma Hart ran to the window with great joy, not even bothering to change her shoes, and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window leading to the front yard. Bailey, the dog in the yard, suddenly leaped towards Emma Hart, licking her face enthusiastically.

"Hahaha, that tickles, Bailey!" How could she have forgotten about this little companion?

"Bailey! Today I’m going to stay home and spend the whole day with you! Are you happy?" Emma Hart said as she ran her hand through Bailey’s fur.

"Woof!" Bailey barked loudly, agreeing with Emma Hart.

The clothing store had an appointment to bring dresses to the Sterling family at three in the afternoon for Emma Hart to choose from.

Until then, Emma Hart spent her time playing with Bailey in the yard.

Sometimes she scratched Bailey, sometimes she pretended to teach him to walk, and sometimes she fed him dog food.

"Emma, it’s almost time. You should come back and get ready," Mrs. Harris said from the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Emma Hart had been playing with Bailey for six or seven hours, and she was now completely dirty. It wouldn’t be appropriate to be seen like this by outsiders!

"Okay, Mrs. Harris, I’m coming. We’ll play more later, Bailey!" Emma Hart said, reaching out to soothe Bailey, who was following her closely.

Bailey was very well-behaved. He escorted Emma Hart to the living room and didn’t follow her inside. After Emma Hart disappeared from his sight, he wagged his tail and barked twice before heading back to his doghouse.

Inside the room, Emma Hart was washing off the dirt. She laughed to herself, thinking that if Damien Sterling saw her like this, he would definitely scold her.

At three in the afternoon, the managers of three clothing stores, along with five staff members, each brought a van full of dresses and lined up outside the Sterling family villa.

All three stores specialized in evening gowns and belonged to Sterling Group, ensuring top-notch quality and design.

Emma Hart was dazzled by the choices. She thought every dress looked beautiful, but Damien Sterling insisted she pick just one! It was quite a challenging task!

Fortunately, Emma Hart had brushed up on fashion design while participating in design competitions, so she had a keen eye for comparing the dresses.

"Alright! I’ve decided on you!" After a long two-hour struggle, Emma Hart finally settled on a dress.

It was a long-sleeved, short, peach-pink lace dress. For some reason, Emma Hart had taken a particular liking to peach-pink this year.

At six in the evening, Emma Hart looked stunning after the makeup artist’s meticulous work.

Her thick, black hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head, and her delicate makeup highlighted her oval face. The peach-pink lace dress revealed glimpses of her fair skin, and the nude high heels accentuated her long legs. The peach blossom necklace Damien Sterling gave her last night added the final touch to her ensemble.

When Damien Sterling drove up to the house and saw Emma Hart, he was very pleased with her appearance. She hadn’t put so much effort into dressing up for a long time.

The purple Bugatti stopped at a wild grass restaurant owned by Sterling Group in City A. The entire restaurant was reserved just for the two of them tonight.

The warm chicken soup paired with various wild vegetables cooked with many mountain delicacies, and numerous other exquisite mountain dishes made the meal simple yet elegant.

Emma Hart had always preferred Chinese cuisine, and Damien Sterling happily obliged.

"Look at you, eating so messily. No sense of decorum at all," Damien Sterling said, looking at Emma Hart with mild disapproval during the meal.

Emma Hart pouted slightly in displeasure but then smiled.

She picked up a piece of chicken and brought it to Damien Sterling’s mouth. "Here! Ah..." The chicken’s grease smeared on the corner of Damien Sterling’s mouth.
