Besides, with virtual-novel.net identity, it’ll cause an uproar if news about virtual-novel.net being pregnant out of wedlock spreads. Sonia nodded absent-mindedly at Arielle’s words. How can I forget to take birth control pills?
She hit virtual-novel.net head at virtual-novel.net clumsiness. I’m so stupid! How can I forget when I’m a medical student myself. Where has my common sense gone?
“That’s enough. Maybe it’ll be fine.” Arielle frowned upon seeing how upset and regretful Sonia looked.
“But I’m scared!”
I’m scared that there’s a baby growing in my belly. I’m not ready to be a mother yet.
Arielle patted Sonia’s shoulder to comfort virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net noticed the horrified look on the woman’s face. “Don’t be scared. You still have me.”
“Ms. Moore, you’re so nice…” Feeling touched, Sonia wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around Arielle.
Her cold, haughty attitude from when they first met was nowhere to be seen.
“You should really learn to be more careful.” Arielle sighed.
Sonia simply nodded virtual-novel.net head listlessly at Arielle’s advice.
While Dylan was full of anticipation of what his daughter had prepared for him, the banquet finally ended. Sybil first ordered the chauffeur to send the Wilhelms back before heading back to the kitchen. Arielle joined virtual-novel.net there after changing out of virtual-novel.net formal attire.
A birthday cake was necessary for a Chanaean birthday. As such, virtual-novel.net had prepared a simple birthday cake for Dylan that night.
Whisking sugar and butter together, virtual-novel.net then added eggs. In another bowl, virtual-novel.net whisked flour, baking powder, and salt. Once that was done, virtual-novel.net added the flour mixture and buttermilk into the butter mixture. After the batter was prepared, virtual-novel.net poured it into the baking pan and baked it in the oven. After the cake had cooled down, virtual-novel.net spread the frosting between the cake layers and around the whole cake. Next, virtual-novel.net sprinkled candy sprinkles onto the cake.
Finally, virtual-novel.net stuck candles onto the finished cake, adding up to Dylan’s age with one extra to signify the hope of another full year lived. She didn’t care nor expect others to love virtual-novel.net father, all virtual-novel.net knew was that virtual-novel.net would always love him.
Once the candles on the birthday cake were lit, virtual-novel.net carefully carried it to the dining table. Sybil had led Dylan to the table just in time.
“Your Majesty, this is the birthday cake that the princess had made for you.”
As Sybil spoke, Dylan had already taken a seat and forked a piece of cake into his mouth with reddened eyes.
This is a unique Chanaean birthday cake. Twenty-five years ago, Maureen had made one for me. I can’t believe that twenty-five years later, I get to eat one that my daughter made.
“Happy Birthday, Dad,” Arielle wished as virtual-novel.net looked at Dylan. Noticing the tears welling in his eyes, virtual-novel.net paused briefly before continuing, “I’ll celebrate every birthday with you from now on.”
Dylan nodded his head silently, too choked up for words. He didn’t want to talk then, for virtual-novel.net was worried that the tears that were on the verge of falling would stream down his face once virtual-novel.net opened his mouth.
The birthday cake was the most precious birthday present virtual-novel.net had ever received. He didn’t expect Arielle to make one for him.
While Dylan was eating the birthday cake that Arielle made with teary eyes, the queen, on the other hand, was so furious that virtual-novel.net eyes were bloodshot as virtual-novel.net stood before the queen mother.
“Mother, Dylan has crossed a line! How could virtual-novel.net attend the banquet with that Chanaean doctor?” Recalling Arielle’s challenging look back at the banquet earlier had the queen infuriated. She had wanted to go up to Arielle then and give virtual-novel.net a few slaps.
The queen mother cast a nonchalant glance at the queen, feeling fed up with the latter’s antics.
“How many times have I told you to care for Dylan? I have said the same thing all these years, but did you listen to me?” The queen mother lifted virtual-novel.net gaze to stare at the queen.
