Elijah said, "Don’t worry about them."
Violette suggested, "How about we get a bigger one? What do you think of a ten-inch cake?"
Elijah told the shopkeeper, "Ten inches."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Alright. You two look so cute together."
Elijah’s face turned red instantly.
Elijah turned to the shelves, "Do you need anything else to take home?"
Violette replied, "No, I don’t..."
Elijah suggested, "Let’s buy some anyway, for your mom."
Violette found his blushing face amusing, "Alright, let’s get some."
An hour later.
Violette pushed the wheelchair out of the dessert shop.
Elijah held the cake, looking a bit awkward.
Luckily, there weren’t many people on the street.
The temperature was only 5 degrees, b
ut it felt like there was a fire beside him, warding off the cold.
The two returned to the restaurant, where
everyone had already arrived in the private room.
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Elijah, wearing a white sweater, looked different, as if he had become much younger.
He was also holding a huge cake, which seemed quite out of place, as e
veryone knew he didn’t like sweets.
Brandon cleared his throat and walked up to them, "You guys went to get a cake? I brought one too,
but it’s not as big as yours."
Violette felt embarrassed and explained, "He said he wanted cake, so we went to buy one."
Brandon asked with confusion, "He said he wanted cake?"
Violette replied, "Yes. Is everyone here? If so, I’ll go and open the cake."
After she left to open the cake, Brandon went over and touched Elijah’s sweater, joking, "The sweater
is so soft, Ms. Dennis’ handiwork is not bad! But aren’t you hot wearing this indoors? Do you want me Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
to help you take it off?"
Elijah swatted his hand away, "Don’t touch me."
Brandon laughed and pushed him to the main seat of the table.
After Violette placed the cake on the table, Brandon asked the waiter to serve the dishes, and
Elijah took out candles from the cake box and inserted them one by one.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
The president actually looked so relaxed and happy?
Didn’t he hate celebrating birthdays?
But looking at his state today, he seemed to be enjoying it!
After inserting the candles, Elijah suddenly took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it up!
The flame lit up the room, and everyone was shocked again!
Violette said awkwardly, "Don’t people usually light candles in the evening?"
Brandon walked to the window and closed the curtains, "It’s fine, as long as Elijah wants to light them,
we can have them anytime"
The moment the curtains were closed, the room darkened.
Brandon was particularly good at analyzing Elijah’s mind.
So after he lit the candles, Brandon asked, "Elijah, is this lighter new? Can I borrow it to light a
cigarette?"
Elijah put the lighter back in his pocket, showing a hint of stinginess, "Violette gave it to me."
"Ms. Dennis, you actually gave two gifts, so thoughtful!" Brandon praised.
Violette felt embarrassed and could only change the subject, "Let’s sing the birthday song!"
After saying that, she took the lead in singing, and e
veryone quickly followed her rhythm.
After a cheerful birthday song, Elijah closed his eyes and made a wish.
Violette looked at Elijah’s handsome face under the light, her thoughts drifting.
She was really curious.
What kind of wish would he make?
