[Chelsea, I've snagged us a reservation at the top-floor restaurant at Falconridge Tower. Let's celebrate tonight, just the two of us,] Eliza said with a soft smile. Chelsea remembered it was Eliza's birthday. [It's your birthday today. We definitely need to celebrate.]

[Then... see you tonight.]

[Alright, see you tonight.]

Chelsea had gone out of her way to order Eliza's favorite Barbie-themed birthday cake. The doll looked stunning in a sparkling white dress with a tiny tiara, surrounded by colorful rainbow candies. The top-floor restaurant at Falconridge Tower was a spot reserved for the elite. When Eliza was younger, she used to come here often. But after returning to the Pinotti family, she hadn't been back. Chelsea placed a crown-shaped birthday hat on Eliza's head and lit the candles. "Come on, make a wish!"

Eliza clasped her hands together and closed her eyes. After making her wish, Eliza blew out the candles and noticed a man not far away.

Aaron was equally surprised and walked over. "What a coincidence. It's your birthday today?"

Aaron's sudden appearance took both Eliza and Chelsea by surprise.

"Are you here for dinner?" Chelsea stood up, her face adorned with a soft smile. "Today is Elle's birthday. We're celebrating."

Aaron's gaze lingered on Eliza for a moment. "I... I'll step out for a bit."
