Chapter 87 Unknown Secret

 

Elise was in a dilemma. She didn’t want to dance with Matthew, but she couldn’t find any reasons to refuse. Luckily for her, Alexander stood before her. “According to the rules, everyone’s dance partner is decided by the draw.” In other words, there was no changing of partners once it was set.

Finally finding an excuse, Elise said, “Sorry, Matthew. We got the same number, so I can’t dance with you.” Perfect. Nobody can refute me.

 

Matthew smiled and slowly pulled his hand back. “It’s fine. Let’s leave it until next time then.”

“Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday to you…”

 

 

The crowd parted and made way for Danny and Jack. They were pushing a big cake on a cart, heading toward Alexander. Everyone around them also started singing as well.

 

Once they were done singing Happy Birthday, someone shouted, “Make a wish, birthday boy!”

 

 

 

Everyone looked at Alexander. He put his hands together, closed his eyes, and made a wish. “Together, everyone. Three, two, one… Blow.”

 

Everyone blew out the candles, and the guests clapped.
