"Happy birthday, Uncle Tony!"

When Don opened his eyes in the morning, the first thing he heard was the whisper of his wife, Shania, in her ear.

But he couldn't laugh, but sighed, and looked at Shania who was lying on top of him with a bitter face: "Fiftieth birthday, what's so happy ......?"

Shania smiled and said, "I don't care so much, as long as I have a happy birthday!" Happy birthday, Uncle Tony! She repeated it again, giving Don another good morning kiss, and Shania jumped out of bed.

There was already a maid nanny downstairs ready for breakfast. Since the family had children, such a huge villa, Don no longer insisted on living with his family, and at night Teresa was afraid - the house was too big, even if she turned on the lights in all the rooms and corridors, she was always afraid that a demon would suddenly rush out of the corner. Just hire some permanent maids and nannies to add some life to the house.

And even if Don and Shania returned to England with Teresa in the future, the house would still be left for those people to live in.

The house is to be lived in, otherwise no matter how good the house is, as long as no one lives in it, the rate of dilapidation is amazing, and as long as there are people living in it and cleaning it regularly, the house will be new every day.

After figuring out this layer, Don En doesn't care about his ** or anything......

Don also got up, dressed and washed. And Shania, who was one step ahead of him, did not have the habit of wasting time in front of the dresser, as long as she was not out doing activities, she was without makeup, although she was not as beautiful as the promotional posters, movies, advertisements and catwalks, but she was just as beautiful. After watching it for a long time, Don felt that Shania without makeup was more beautiful.

By this time, Shania had already run to knock on her daughter's door.

"Teresa, are you up?"

When her daughter opened the door in a hurry, she was suddenly hugged in her arms by Shania, who was waiting at the door. Scratch her armpits. Suddenly, the little daughter's silver bell-like laughter filled the house.

Don ignored the mother and daughter frolicking there, went into the bathroom alone, and began to wash. Habitually looking up at myself in glasses, my hair is black, but that's just a superficial phenomenon. He used a comb to straighten up his messy hair, and the white beneath the black surface couldn't hide it, and it all popped out. In fact, a 50-year-old person's hair will not turn gray so quickly and obviously, but the head coach is a professional with his brain. The psychological pressure is also high, and it is not uncommon for hair to turn gray faster than ordinary people.

Don touched his gray hair, helpless. The aging of the body does not depend on its own will.

It's just that there are more and more furrows on his face, and he still looks a little depressed. crossed once, although he won many championships and beautiful wives, he lost a few years of longevity, and he didn't have any heirs of his own. You can only go and adopt one. It's really an "equal exchange for what you get", but I don't know if those champions and money are equivalent to the lost years of life and future generations......

Slapping the cold water on his face, the water splashed, and then slapped away these messy thoughts in his mind.

Today's breakfast was more hearty than usual, and it was clear that the servants had received special advice from Shania. I know that today is the 50th birthday of the man.

"Do you have any plans for today?" Shania asked as she ate.

"Nope. Don shook his head. I was busy for the first few days, but today I am finally free, and it is completely free, and I am afraid that there will be nothing to be busy with for some time to come. Don felt that the older he was, the older he was. This birthday is not too much, so I didn't invite someone to have a birthday party with great fanfare, otherwise my house would have become Hollywood's vanity fair.

Some people may like to use the opportunity of their birthday to make friends with celebrities in order to enhance their fame and status. It was their freedom, but Don didn't like it. At this time, he wants to be with his relatives, even if he snuggles up on the sofa at home and watches TV, it is better to socialize those celebrities. He's a football coach anyway. It's not a system with Hollywood stars, and going to make movies is just a cameo and having fun, but you don't have to talk to anyone or see someone's face.

Don is so desireless and wantless, but it makes Shania embarrassed, and her birthday can't be passed so plainly, right? Fiftieth birthday, how many fifties can a person have in this life...... Well, just one. Such a special day. If you spend it at home. It's really unwilling......

Seeing that Shania had a headache on her own, Don advised, "Don't think about it. I don't want to go anywhere. ”

"How's that going to work? How can you stay at home on your birthday? ”

"I can go out shopping with you. Don spread his hands.

"It's your birthday, it's not me, what are you doing with me?" Shania asked rhetorically, staring at Don with her eyes narrowed.

Unexpectedly, Don put away his smile, and instead of avoiding Shania's glare, he stared into her eyes very seriously, as if he wanted to see her heart through her eyes. Seeing that Shania was a little embarrassed, he said, "For me, the important thing is not how to spend this birthday, but who to spend it with." My birthday wish is to be with you and ......," he said, glancing at his daughter who was eating breakfast next to him, "Teresa is with me. As for where you spend it, it doesn't matter how you spend it. It doesn't matter if you stay at home watching TV, or go to the supermarket to buy something, it's all the same. ”

In fact, he still has words that he hasn't said, and those words are not very auspicious, so he won't mention such a festive day, he just knows it in his heart.

Don's words came from the bottom of his heart, and Shania was moved in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface. If you have a tacit understanding, you won't do those superficial articles, such as the tears in your eyes, and the speechless and choked when you look at each other...... She just pouted helplessly. "Anyway, if you have a birthday today, it's up to you. ”

Don immediately put the smile back on his face and went to tease his daughter Teresa.

Shania watched the father and daughter get along well, and sighed softly in her heart. Uncle Tony turned fifty years old...... This incident made her very sad to think about it, although she said "Happy Birthday" to Uncle Tony, but in fact she and Uncle Tony were in the same mood - the birthday after the age of fifty, I am afraid that it will be more and more sad.

I first met him fifteen years ago. At that time, he was thirteen years old, and Uncle Tony was thirty-four. There was still a bit of a misunderstanding after the two met...... At the thought of the pervert-like look that Uncle Tony was looking at her chest at that time, Shania couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't expect that I would get on his "thief ship" like this and not get off......

You said I was only thirteen years old at the time, how did I fall in love with him as a middle-aged uncle?

"Laughing at what?" Don heard Shania's laughter and looked back at her, seeing that she had a distinct smile on her face, but her eyes were unfocused, and she was clearly distracted.

"Ah...... I miss the first time you and I met. "Shania doesn't hide it either. Dafang looked at Tang Endao.

As soon as she said this, Don En also remembered. I was once mistaken for a pervert by my wife in front of me...... At that time, he had just lost an important game and lost the season he had worked hard for for half a year, Michael left him and traveled to the United States, and Gavin Jr. died tragically in a fan riot, and his mood was simply a mess. But meeting the eccentric Shania suddenly brightened his mood afterwards. It was as if the clouds had dispersed.

Don suddenly thought of a sentence: "If life is only as it first sees." ”

The relationship between himself and Shania is quite in line with his wishes. Fifteen years were like a day, and it was as if it was the first time he saw each other, and he never got tired of Shania, and neither did Shania. Maybe it's because we've been getting together less and leaving more in the past 15 years?

Teresa said she wanted to go to Hollywood and watch other people make movies. It's my birthday anyway. It's always bad to be bored at home. Don told Shania about his daughter's wishes, but Teresa didn't want to see her father and mother arguing, so she said this on purpose.

Shania naturally had no opinion, and pulled Teresa upstairs to dress and put on makeup.

Don left the restaurant. Sit down in the living room to rest and wait for the mother and daughter.

He didn't have to wait long, since he was just going out to play, Shania was just putting on some light makeup, and Teresa was just changing out of the pajamas she was wearing at home.

Watching Shania lead Teresa downstairs, Don noticed that although it was an adopted child, there was something similar between the dark-haired Teresa and the dark-brown-haired Shania. Shania has a bit of Chinese ancestry, so she looks like her own mother and daughter. The second half of my life. With the two of them walking together, Don had no desires or desires. Anyway, time passes and there is no turning back, no matter how unwilling he is, fifty years old has come. In this case, instead of lamenting that the years are like water and time flies here, and lamenting that you are getting older, it is better to live well with your wife and children.

Shania, who walked down, saw Donn's hair at a glance, and she frowned, "Don't you dye your hair?" ”

Don shook his head: "It's not stained." I won't be dyed anymore. ”

Shania was amazed: "You're not stimulated, are you?" Uncle Tony? ”

"I just figured out one thing out of the blue. Don took Shania's arm, "The gray hair is pretty too." ”

In fact, going out to play Don didn't have peace of mind. His phone was always receiving calls from his friends, as if pre-calculated, all to wish him a happy birthday. Michael, Wood, Bruce, Don, Chris Lack, Walker...... It made Shania a little dissatisfied. If you think about it, you don't blame Shania, it was originally a time that belonged to a family of three, but it was divided into pieces by phone calls.

"Well, I don't think anyone has called me. Don knew that his wife was upset, and it was annoying that she would be interrupted by the ringing of the phone before she could say a few words. "I turned off my phone. ”

He held up his phone, intending to turn it off. But it just so happened that the phone in the palm of my hand vibrated again with music.

Shania rolled her eyes.

"Well, whoever it is this time, I'll just shut it down. Don glanced at the phone screen, but there was a somewhat unfamiliar name flashing on it—Evan.

When the name first appeared in Donn's eyes, he didn't even remember who it was. He was about to hang up and turn it off, but his finger hovered over the hook button, because he suddenly remembered who the person behind the name was.

The question is how could he call himself? The pair have not been in touch since he ended his contract with the club in 2014, except for a phone call he later made to want him to return to Forest. What is the matter with calling yourself at this time? Wouldn't it be a "happy birthday" too?

Don frowned, puzzled. Then he reacted - don't you know what's going on when you connect it?

"Hell......" he muttered as he pressed the answer button.

"Hey!"

Shania saw Don hold her phone to her ear, pulled Teresa to take two quick steps, and went straight to the store.

"Happy birthday, Tony!" On the other end of the phone came Evan. Dogti's voice, but the content was so content that Don didn't know what to say.

Hearing such an enthusiastic voice, Don became more and more confused about what Evan was calling him for.

"Thank you...... Evan. After thinking about it for a moment, he didn't call him "Mr. Dogetty", but changed his name to the more affectionate "Evan". Although it wasn't very pleasant to have a quarrel with Evan when I left. But four years have passed, and it's not a revenge of killing a father and taking his wife, so what else is there to let go? Anyway, he has so many championships, and he also has part of the credit for Evan.

"I heard you went to Los Angeles?" Evan on the phone. Dogetty seemed to be in good spirits.

"Well, accompany my wife. She misses her daughter a little. Don didn't want to talk to him more, not because he was dirty with Evan, but because he didn't want his wife to wait too long. If in a moment she takes Teresa out of the store. If you find yourself still on the phone, you're bound to explode......

Evan. Dogetty also seemed to feel the coldness in Don's tone, and he only thought that he had driven Donn away in the first place and made him resentful of him.

He smiled bitterly: "Tony, do you still care about what happened back then?" ”

"Huh?" Don was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. Evan clearly misunderstood. "Oh. Not really. Let it pass. I actually buy season tickets every season, and occasionally I go to the home stadium to see the game. ”

Evan certainly knew, as he saw Donn in Forest's first home game of the new season, in the stands on the Crimson Stadium.

"Mom. What are you looking at? ”

Teresa thought it strange that after her mother took her into the clothing store, she didn't take her own clothes with her as usual, but turned to this corner under the pretext of "looking for herself" and looked out of the window.

"Of course it's my father. Shania touched the top of her daughter's head and looked at her again.

"Who is Daddy talking to?"

"Mom doesn't know. ”

Even through the window, Shania could see that Done's expression was not as happy as it had been during the previous phone calls.

Who's calling him?

Although it was said that the past was to let it pass, but since it was mentioned such a thing. There's no way around anything. This topic immediately made Evan. Dogetty felt that Don was a little farther away from him, as the tone on the other end of the line grew colder......

But in fact, Don was anxious that Shanya would come out in a while, and if the call could not be completed, he would have suffered for himself.

It's not good to realize that you are so reckless in calling. It's not a good idea to talk any further. So Evan. Dogetty politely wished him a good time and hung up.

As soon as the phone hung up, Tang En was relieved and immediately turned off his mobile phone. Put it back in your pocket and wait for Shania and Teresa to return from shopping.

But he waited for a mother and daughter empty-handed.

"Didn't you buy anything?" Don asked with some humility.

Shania shook her head. Straight to the point, he asked, "Whose phone?" ”

“…… Evan, Evan. Dogety. Don hesitated. Choose to be honest with your wife.

The name Shania was not unfamiliar, and she frowned: "What did he call you for?" ”

"Just say 'Happy Birthday'. Don shrugged.

Shania looked at her husband with some suspicion, she knew her husband too well, his love for football was almost beyond anything, and sometimes she often wondered if this man loved herself or football......

"That's all. We didn't talk a few words, and I was worried that you would come out and see that I was still on the phone, so I casually dealt with him. Tang En was afraid that Shanya would be suspicious, so he quickly explained.

Shania looked at Don, and then the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, hooking into an arc. Then she leaned in and snuggled into Donn's arms, reaching out to wrap her arms around him, and her other hand to take Theresa.

"I'm thirsty, I know there's a restaurant that has good ice cream, let's go!"

Donn, who quietly celebrated his fiftieth birthday with his family, did not return to England and continued to stay in Los Angeles. When his wife was working, he took his daughter with him. While the wife was resting, the family went out to play. Life is free.

People often say that thirty is standing, forty is not confused, and fifty knows the destiny of heaven.

Fifty-year-old Donn felt that this was about the way he was destined to do it.
