Chapter 162
Then, she waved the tiny plates in her hands, saying, “I had to pay five bucks for these plates and the candle. What do you think? Are you surprised?”
Xavier, never this happy his entire life, beamed as he listened to her rant. “Thank you,” he said earnestly.
“C‘mon, thank–yous are for strangers. You‘re rich enough to put on a firework display while I can only afford to get you a small cake and have a heart–to–heart talk. I just hope you won‘t mind.”
“Of course not.” Xavier shook his head.”
After slicing the golden Pikachu cake in half, she put one half onto the paper plate, then handed it and a fork to him, saying, “Here, your birthday cake. Eat up.”
Xavier said nothing and left Veronica hanging a couple of seconds before he finally took the cake from her and ate in silence with his head bowed.
Veronica then grabbed a fork and ate her share.
“How does it taste? Good?”
“Yeah.”
“Ha! What did I say? I only pick the tastiest.” She was clearly on cloud nine.
But little did she know, though Xavier ate the cake, it was tasteless to him as he had been so touched by Veronica‘s gesture that he failed to savor it.

“What is it?”
