Chapter 136 Birthday Gift?
Chapter 136 Birthday Gift?
?After Natalie got up from her bed, she headed directly to the kitchen where Nathan is already seated and the food already prepared on the table.
When Nathan saw her, he beckoned her to sit down.
"Stop standing there, let's eat."
Natalie took a seat and seeing that it's only the two of them there, she can't help but asked,
"Where's Bruce and Fel?"
Fel is the nickname she gave Felicia saying that her name is too long.
Nathan shrugged, "They are still sleeping, probably still tired after living on the streets for a long time, they finally got the chance to sleep comfortably."
Hearing that, Natalie fell silent.
She also learned about the story of the two kids, which was quite unfortunate.
Imagining that she's the one in their shoes, she can't help but feel her heart ache.
Nathan knows what's running in her mind, but he decided to just remain silent.
After the two finished their meal, just on time, Nathan's phone rang.
Looking at it, it was Irish who's calling him.
Picking it up, he answered, "Hello, Irish. Good morning."
Irish's cheerful voice then sounded from the phone, "Hey, Nathan, good morning!"
"Oum, so, why are you calling? Is it time to go now?" Nathan asked, smiling the whole time.
"Yes, should I go and pick you guys up or will you drive to the beach yourself?" She asked,
"You don't have to bother, we'll just go there by ourselves. Just send me the location and I'll be there."
After that, the two chatted for a few minutes before the call was hung up.
Then Irish sent him a message, it was the location of the beach that they will be celebrating her birthday.
"Ta–"
Just as Nathan was about to call Natalie and go, he suddenly froze as he remembered something.
"Wait… since this is her birthday, I will need to give her a gift… right?"
Since he hasn't been on any kind of occasions before, Nathan has forgotten that giving gifts to a birthday celebrant is just common sense.
"Damn, I forgot. What should I give as a gift?" Nathan said with a worried look.
At this time, Natalie approached him and saw his face.
"You look worried, what's the problem, brother?" She asked,
Nathan told her about the problem with the gift and Natalie showed him a surprised look.
"Brother… how could you forget such a thing?"
Nathan sighed depressedly, "The last time I attended a birthday party was when we were still kids. Now I have forgotten about such things."
After sighing one last time, Nathan decided to come uo with something before going.
It's not that big of a problem anyway, if push comes to shove, he can just buy something from the system shop.
So he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll think of something."
He turned his gaze at Natalie who's still in her pajamas and said, "You, go and prepare now. Irish already called me, so hurry up."
Hearing that, Natalie's eyes lit up.
She energetically said, "Okay, it won't take long for me to prepare!"
Saluting Nathan, she left with hurried steps.
Nathan can only sighed at her behavior.
Next, Nathan started pondering on what gift he can give Irish.
He knows that she's from a rich family, that's why Nathan is having a hard time thinking of it.
"Since she's rich, she probably has everything that she needs and wants, right?" He said, "Is there anything that she could possibly want?"
Nathan walked to the living as he thought.
There, he saw Bruce has already woken up and is sitting on the sofa while watching cartoons.
"Hi, Bruce. Good morning." He greeted.
Bruce turned his head to Nathan and politely greeted, "Good morning, brother Nathan!"
Nathan took a seat on the sofa and continued pondering.
Bruce on the side seems to have noticed that Nathan is having a dilemma and asked, "Is there something wrong, brother Nathan?"
Although he is young, Bruce is quite a sensible kid who's sensitive to people's emotions.
And seeing Nathan like this subconsciously made him want to help.
Sighing, maybe it was just to let out his feelings, Nathan told Bruce what's been on his mind.
The kid on the other hand did not say anything and just sat there listening to Nathan's every word.
Leaning his back on the sofa, Nathan sighed.
A few seconds later he turned his gaze to Bruce and suddenly asked, "Bruce, what do you think is the best gift to give someone that has everything?"
Nathan doesn't know what comes to his mind that he asked this question to a kid.
He was about to dismiss it but before he did so, Bruce answered.
Tilting his head, thinking of an answer, Bruce said, "Hmm, if someone already has everything, then why don't you just make something that they don't have?"
Nathan felt like he was hit by lightning after hearing such an answer.
"Make them something that they don't have…" he muttered Bruce's words a couple of times and suddenly, his eyes lit up!
"That's it!"
All of a sudden, he stood up and exclaimed.
Bruce was startled by his movements but Nathan did not seem to notice this.
He gazed at Bruce and said, "You're such a genius!"
Before suddenly running off somewhere.
Bruce, who still hasn't recovered, was confused by his words.
"Yes?"
….
Nathan went out of the house and headed towards the empty backyard.
While doing so, he keeps muttering dome things.
"What should I make? Since I can turn into any profession with the help of my soul talent, I can technically create anything I want." He said,
After thinking for a long time, Nathan finally decided on what to do.
"I will make a sculpture of Irish!" He said,
Thinking of it, it sounds like a great idea.
He smiled smugly and said, "For sure, Irish don't have such a thing like a sculpture of herself, right?"
He added, "And since it's made personally by me, there will be no duplicate of this sculpture."
But then, he stopped on his tracks with a frown on his face.
"But the problem is, will she like such a gift?"
