Chapter 97 Surprise Ii

• yes, he wasn't done with his speech. He huffed out and gathered his confidence once more. Was Zayn waiting for him to be done before he tells him off? " So, what I was trying to say is..." his eyes came up to meet Zayn's, "I gave this a lot of thought and despite knowing how it would make you feel, I went ahead with it. And that was because I didn't like the idea of you not being celebrated."
• Will searched Zayn's eyes as he hoped he was making as much sense to Zayn as he felt in his head. "What I mean to say is, you've made so much achievement in life, you run a company, one of the best to be exact, you have your own house, own your own line of cars, own a jet, your Chinese could use a little more practice but that aside, you literally have over half of the world language running through your blood. You became who you are today on your own, and you worked hard for it. A birthday... well, my uncle would say a birthday is like a record that shows the difference of your old and new self in a year, but what matters the most is the fact that you're alive to see, mark, and celebrate your growth. And you..." Will chuckled lightly and a warm smile curled up his lips as he stared at the one man whose growth surpassed a lot of things he'd seen "...your growth is seriously something to celebrate. Once again, this might be really insensitive of me because I still don't know what happened, but... I don't want it to rob you of your growth. It's fine if you don't want to celebrate it, but I, am, more than happy to celebrate your 27th birthday. And I wish for nothing else but your happiness and more growth in your years ahead."
• The room lit up by the gentle light that exposed just the two of them held a pure silence. Zayn listened to the strange words no one had ever said to him and he felt a part of him that had been shut out for years come back alive.
