Chapter 120
"No matter the ups and downs we’ve been through, you have never left me behind. No matter how difficult it was,
our family is still happy together. Today, with a grateful heart, I’d like to thank my lover who has been with me for
the past seven years. Thank you for taking me into the palace of marriage and giving me a family of our own.
Thank you for giving me such an adorable yet mischievous son, and for giving me the reason to continue living.
Thank you for your care, love, support, and protection from the winds and rains. I love you, Hugo!”

Just as Anna finished her sentence, there was thundering applause. Everyone was moved by her words.

Hugo took a deep breath and forced a light smile. “I’m not sure what to say, but first of all, I’d like to thank
everyone for attending our wedding anniversary celebration. Also, I feel happy to have a wife like Anna!”
The host then chuckled. “Seems like Mr. and Mrs. Gray are very loving and affectionate. Now, let us get to know the
ups and downs they have gone through together in the past seven years. Please, look at the big screen!”
With this, the audience’s gaze turned toward the big screen. On the screen, pictures were being shown in
chronological order from the beginning of their marriage; to having a child together; to their family of three.”
Below the stage, everyone was envious and whispered to each other.
The woman sitting beside Florence sighed. “You're lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law. Her eyes are always
glued to Hugo.”
However, Florence shook her head and said, “That’s because my son is an excellent and outstanding person. If she
doesn’t stare at my son, who else would she stare at?”
“You're right. This couple is very loving,” the woman said.
On the other hand, Amy also looked at the stage with a hint of a smile in her eyes. She then lowered her head
before whispering secretively to Henry, “Look at how good Anna is with her words. Compared to Hugo, she’s so
much better!”
Henry did not say a word. In fact, his mind was occupied with other things. He kept thinking that it was wrong of him
to agree to have their wedding anniversary on the same day as his ex-wife’s death anniversary.
He had forgotten about Grace’s death anniversary at that time. He only recalled it later, but the Gray Family had
already informed the guests and they could no longer make any changes.
Hence, Henry had no choice but to agree with them.
However, after Olivia gave him a call, Henry felt uneasy.
“I’m talking to you.” Amy nudged him with her elbow.
Only then did Henry manage to react. “What?”
With a face full of happiness, Amy stared at the big screen. “I’m saying that these two are so compatible with each
other. It’s been seven years, yet they still look so loving.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as she finished talking, there came the sound of a trumpet from the entrance of the hotel. It was a melancholic
sound that made everyone sad and tearful.
Several men were dressed in black while they held baskets in their hands. The baskets were filled with joss paper
and were scattered once every few steps. The joss paper could be seen flying and falling from the top.
When the audience turned around, an adult and a child appeared at the hotel entrance. The woman was dressed in
black with a garland of white flowers in front of her chest while her left hand was leading a child that was dressed
like an adult too.
“Who is this?”
“I don’t know. Perhaps they’ve gone to the wrong venue.”
“Doesn’t she look like the Maxwell Family's eldest daughter?”
“Ah! It really is her! That must be the child she had with the beggar!”
“What are you doing here? Are you trying to create a scene?” Henry got up from his chair and walked toward the
door in a hurry. His entire face was raging with anger.
“What are you doing, Olivia Maxwell?”
Olivia gave a cold glance at Henry and asked, “Who… are you?”
All of a sudden, Henry choked with anger as he added, “Olivia, today’s the wedding anniversary of your sister.
There’s a lot of guests here, so stop causing trouble!”
