Sara and Thessa settled into a conversation about the upcoming birthday, with their words flowing effortlessly.Thessa began, "Sara, with your birthday approaching, have you thought about how you'd like to celebrate?"Sara smiled warmly, appreciating Thessa's involvement. "Oh, you know me, Thessa. I'm not one for grand celebrations. A simple gathering with family and close friends is all I need."Adam chimed in, surprising Sara, "I think it's about time we do something special for you, Mother. You deserve it."Sara's eyes softened as she looked at Adam. "Thank you, dear. That's very kind of you."Just then, Robert entered the hall with an arrogant and happy look.

She reached out and held his shoulders, a move that took Ethan aback, given her usual composed demeanor. "Oh, Ethan, I can't believe you're finally getting married!" she said excitedly.
