Chapter 429: Birthday Surprise!
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
Knock knock
Lauren and the others in the room knocked twice on the door.
“Come in,” said Colton.
Soon, a man in a white chefs uniform walked in pushing a cart. There was a
15-meter tall six-tier birthday cake on the cart, which was extremely
luxurious an
beautiful. It was also embellished with diamonds!
“Hey, the cake I ordered is here!
Colton frantically stood up with excitement. Likewise, the other classmates of
hers also stood up and walked over.
“Wow, Class President, what a luxurious cake you’ve ordered!”
“Indeed, Colton is very generous!
“Tve never seen such a pretty birthday cake before!
Colton was very smug. “Since it’s our belle’s birthday, of course I have to host
her with the highest standards!
While being smug, she was very curious too, because she didn’t expect that the
Maxim cake store would serve such upscale cakes.
There was a white card below the cake.
A female classmate picked it up and exclaimed, “Happy Birthday, Sweetie!
Wow, Colton, you actually took the chance to confess to Lauren while gifting
the birthday cake. Haha!
The words made Lauren feel extremely awkward. She knew that Colton had
once liked her before and she even thought that Colton must have already lost
those felings for her. She didn’t expect Colton to write such a card to her.
Colton knew that Lauren was now someone else’s wife and that such a term
was extremely unsuitable.
He frantically said, “Stop the speculation. You guys heard me when I called to
book a cake. I only said that it’s a girl’s birthday but I didn’t mention who it was
for. The bakery might have misunderstood. Lauren, you won’t mind, would
you?
After thinking about it for a moment, Lauren felt what Colton said made sense.
“It’s okay.”
The crowd thought it was a mistake made by the cake store but they had no
idea that the luxurious cake was not the one that Colton booked at all!
It was the birthday cake that Jordan prepared for Lauren! The chef who pushed
the cake in introduced, This cake of ours will look better with the lights off.
Should I turm off the lights and let you enjoy the view?”
The crowd was suddenly surprised.
“Is there a special nighttime effect? It’s the first time Ive heard ofa cake that
will look different with the lights off!”
“Wow, the design of this cake is really romantic
Lauren was curious too. Colton smiled smugly, feeling rather proud. Hence, the
chef switched off the lights in the room, and as expected, layers of colorful
lights of the cake were lit up, making it look even more beautiful, just like a
small, snowy mountain.
However, the next second they switched off the lights
The sounds of the piano suddenly filled the room!
A classic Cchord rang.
Immediately afterward, a touching song sounded.
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor”
Lauren was stunned!
“That’s the song, Need You Now! Does that voice belong to Jordan!?
Lauren often listened to that song while showering and she had already heard
it countless times before. Hence, she knew what song it was as soon as she
heard the intro.
She could tell whose voice it was immediately.
Tt belonged to her husband, Jordan!
She finally understood why there would be a piano and her microphone in the
room. It turned out that Jordan had arranged for it!
The others were confused.
Colton, did you hire a professional singer to perform for Lauren?” A male
classmate asked.
Colton was stunned for a while before putting on a pretense. “of course.”
The crowd just quietly enjoyed the singing of the mysterious man in the room
while admiring the light of the light bulb of the cake.
T love you.
A blissful smile appeared on Lauren’s face when he sang the chorus.
Jordan sang the song incredibly well and it happened to be her birthday today.
“How did Jordan know that I like this song?
Lauren couldn’t deny that she was touched.
“I just need you now.
Jordan’s performance won everyone’s applause after the song was sung.
At this moment, Colton had just turned on the room’s lights, and everyone saw
Jordan.
Dressed ina suit with his hair styled, Jordan looked every part the handsome
and domineering CEO!
Colton took out a hundred bucks from his pocket and said to Jordan, “Young
man, you sang well. Here’s a tip for you.”
However, one of the female students who had attended Lauren’s wedding
immediately pointed at Jordan.
“Isn’t this Lauren’s husband, Jordan?
“What
The crowd was suddenly shocked that the man was actually Lauren’s husband!
At this moment, Jordan got up from the piano and brought a large bouquet of
roses over to Lauren. “Happy birthday, Honey.”
Lauren was elated. Grabbing the roses, she closed her eyes as Jordan pulled her
into a tender kiss. At this point, she had also completely forgiven Jordan for
suspecting her.
Seeing Jordan and Lauren kissing, Colton and a few other male classmates
were seething in jealousy!
“The goddess we’ve adored for such a long time has been snatched by this dog!
“Who is he!?l
The few of hem were extremely indignant.
Lauren asked blissfully, “How did you get in here?
The piano sounded almost as soon as the lights were switched off. If Jordan
had entered from the door, he couldn’t have entered the innermost area so
quickly.
Jordan pointed to the spot behind the piano and said, “T opened a door there
last night
Only then did the crowd understand that Jordan had deliberately hacked offa
portion of the wall to create a door there the previous night, so as to give
Lauren a surprise. He had even concealed it so well that no one would be able to
see it.
Wow, you’re so thoughtful. How romantic!
“Yeah, and he’s so talented. It sounded amazing!
The few female classmates began praising Jordan as they had already become
his friends.
However, the few male classmates of hers were extremely displeased.
Lauren felt that it was a huge glory too. Her former classmates had been
doubting if her husband was good enough but she couldn’t reveal the Steeles
power and hence could only be looked down upon by them.
Now, they finally understood the positive attributes of her husband.
Lauren recalled the card on the cake and asked, “Honey, is this cake also from
you?
Jordan nodded and said, “Yes, I specially asked the most famous pastry chef in
the country to make it overnight. Do you like it?”
Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing Jordan say that.
Wasn’t this ordered by Colton?
Put on the spot, Colton was immediately embarrassed. “Nonsense! This was
clearly booked at Maxim cake store!”
“Maxim?
A sneer was on Jordan’s face. How could Maxim possibly bake such a luxurious
cake!?!
The chef hadn’t left yet and said to Colton, “Sorry, I am not from Maxim cake
store but I do have an apprentice who works there.”
