The 3rd Generation
Chapters. 115

One month later.

Everyone looks happy today. They're celebrating Livy's 27th birthday. Invitational guests are required to wear black. While the party decorations themselves look a lot of red and black. Livy looks beautiful with a red knee-length dress specially sewn by a famous designer.

Tonight she is the queen. Everyone who came brought a special gift for Livy. On the table, the pile of gifts was already high. Livy himself was shocked when he found out that there were so many gifts for him. Though the main purpose of holding a party is just to have fun and gather the brothers. If there was no event like this, everyone would just be busy with their respective affairs.

"Sister Livy, happy birthday." Esme gave a gift to Livy. The woman smiled happily at her foster sister's birthday and was already well again.

"Thank you" Livy replied. Not forgetting she hugged her foster sister while smiling happily.

At that time, Livy was hospitalized because she had kidney failure. Everyone is panicking. Plus there was not a single person whose kidneys matched Livy's. Including both his parents and also Oma and opa that he has.

Leona ventured to ask Esme for help. She no longer knew how to save Livy's life. When tested, Esme's kidneys were suitable for Livy. Esme had only one kidney, but the woman was willing. It was a form of guilt towards the Leona family. Apart from being a form of guilt, the sacrifice was also to make everyone trust him again if he really had changed.

After the operation, Leona and Katterine give Esme enough money and freedom. They still tolerated Esme's mistakes back then. However, Esme is not willing to accept all the money given. She left town and went to college somewhere else. A week later, Livy meets Esme again. They see Esme's life turned out to be very difficult. In addition, he became very easy because he only had one kidney. In that instant Livy decides to make Esme his adoptive sister. He also wanted to have a sister. With Norah and Daisy he's not very close.

There is nothing to worry about because Esme has changed. The woman is now much better. He was very sorry for hurting Daisy's family.

In addition, Daisy refocused on her studies. After reading the letter Foster sent, the woman felt that there was nothing to cry about anymore. Daisy is determined to become a successful career woman so she does not need to bring her family's big name to be accepted in the family of the man she will love. Just like Foster. If not the same as Foster, the woman would prefer not to marry anyone.

Norah and Austin's engagement has been dated. The two of them are busy preparing for everything. Starting from dresses, rings to party themes. Austin initially refused to get engaged. The man wants to get married. However, because Norah clean hard to delay the wedding finally Austin just want to get engaged.

In front of Livy's yard, Abio and his family have just arrived. Sharin and Biao are seen in the group. Kwan and Alana look very romantic even though they are not young anymore.

"Ma, I have to make it. I don't want to be rejected anymore" whispered Abio beside Alana.

"Abio, you must have been accepted. Mama sure," said Alana with full confidence. He patted his son's shoulder gently. "You must be excited."

Apparently unbeknownst to Livy, today Abio intends to propose to Livy in front of everyone. I don't know what answer Livy will give. To be sure, Abio wanted this relationship to be clear. Have a definite status. Not hanging like they have been all this time. When Livy was sick, Abio was always near Livy. The man encouraged Livy until the woman was completely healthy.

"Abio, why did you stop?" ask opa Biao.

"I can't breathe, Opa" Abio said.

"You sick?" Alana looks panicked.

"That's the usual thing. He could not breathe for fear of facing reality. Just chill. There's nothing to worry about" Kwan said. The man stood beside Abio and embraced his son. "You're men. You must be prepared to accept rejection."

"Good, pa. But, what should I do if it is accepted? Can I kiss Livy?"

"Don't do that if you don't want to be shot by Oliver or Luke" Biao said. He was once in Oliver's position. When Kwan and Alana were dating. "No father would be willing for his daughter to be touched by a man who is not yet her husband. Don't embarrass our family!" threaten Biao's.

"If you're married, can't you?" ledek Kwan's. However, the man also went back to silence when he got a stabbing look from his father-in-law

"Let's go in. Why the hell is it going to be a fuss here." Sharin stared intently at Biao. "We are old. Don't like to interfere with our grandchildren's affairs. You were alone, too"

"Don't tell me here. Enough Alana and Kwan only know!" cut Biao fast.

Alana and Kwan chuckled. Unlike Abio who can't laugh because he's too nervous. He took the ring box in his pocket to make sure he had it. Lips smile. "Livy, I hope you have the same feelings as me" he murmured inwardly.

...***...

The party was very fancy. The first time arriving in front of the entrance only the invited guests had been closely inspected. In addition to family, guests must present an invitation.

Abio again could not regulate his breathing normally. He was getting nervous when he got home. His eyes looked in all directions. He wants to see the woman he loves. But I don't know where that woman is. He didn't find it there.

"You looking for me?"

Abio was aghast in shock when Livy was already behind him. The man swallowed his saliva to relieve the nervousness he was now feeling.

"Why are you here?" ask Abio.

"Livy, did you take the wrong medicine?" Abio glanced at Livy with a meaningful look.

Livy laughed amusedly. He pinched Abio's arm. "You could have."

"That is suspicious. If he's like this I'm getting harder and harder to propose to him later. She could have said I was joking, " Abio murmured inwardly.

Katterine and Lana smile at Livy. They gave Livy space to cut the cake. All the invited guests gathered to celebrate Livy's birthday.

"Hey, Sir. Did you bring anything for me?" livy whiskey. Abio frowned hearing that.

"What do you mean?" answer Abio slowly.

Livy won't answer anymore. He sang and blew out the candles. Abio watched Livy carefully. Seeing Livy cheerful like that made her happy. There was no jutek face like the one he used to receive. Livy looks like the spoiled woman Abio has been dreaming of.

"Am I dreaming? Why does everything feel so easy? Even Livy's attitude seemed different," Abio muttered inwardly again.

"Cut cake. Cut cake!" Everyone cheered happily when Livy cut the cake. Livy carved a happy smile while cutting the cake. Put the pieces of tart on the plate. Assisted by Katterine.

"First cut give it to the man you love. Mama won't be mad" Katterine whispered.

Unbeknownst to Abio, Biao and Kenzo have proposed to Livy. And of course Livy's extended family agreed. They also find out that Livy is falling in love with Abio. They wanted to see the two of them soon unite. That's why Biao asked Abio to propose to Livy tonight. Because he was very sure that his grandson would not be rejected.

Livy turned around and looked at Abio. The woman looked timidly at Abio. Abio was confused again.

"This is a cake for you. You are the most important person in my heart" Livy said softly. He was embarrassed to the point that his speech was very slow.

Abio received the cake and scooped it up. The man feeds Livy. "Happy birthday. I hope what you want you get soon."

Livy looked to the side with a timid face. He shared the cake for the loved ones he had.

From a distance, Daisy and Norah smile happily at Livy. They were also the first time they saw Livy's attitude like that. Even they themselves felt that the woman standing there was not Livy.

"Sister, why does Livy look so different? Is he taking the wrong medication?" ask Daisy.

"Eitherway. Lately, Livy's been looking different. He's much more cheerful. Maybe because now there was Esme next to him. He's got a storymate and is more open."

"Esme is actually good. Her brother made her evil" Daisy said.

"Let's go there." Norah invites Daisy to approach Livy. They also have to give the gift they brought to the beautiful doctor.

After the cake cut, all guests are welcome to eat the dishes available. Everyone was busy gathering at their desks. Livy looked at Abio who until now had not shown any signs of wanting to propose. In fact, Livy can't wait to be proposed in front of everyone. The woman wanted to have a clear bond with Abio.

"Sister, happy birthday." Norah and Daisy show up. Abio looked at the two women actually looking at Livy again.

"Livy, I'll go there first. I want to see Brother Zion."

Livy looks disappointed. The woman nodded without answering. Because there was Daisy and Norah, she did not show the annoyance she now felt.

"Sister, why did you see Abio like that? Is there something wrong with Abio? Did he upset my sister?" asked Norah to know.

"none. I want to sleep. My eyes suddenly fell asleep" said Livy. The woman just left Norah and Daisy. This made the brothers confused.

"Sister, what's the matter?" ask Daisy confused. Norah just shook her head. He looked at Livy who was walking quickly towards the stairs.

"I love you Livy ...."

Livy held back her footsteps when she wanted to go up the stairs. The lights are turned off until there's only a floodlight illuminating Livy.

"Abio?"
