Chapter 112

[MIA]

It was just the four of us after dinner when Ronan brought the cake out.

With his hazel eyes and lighter hair and that toothy grin that was basically always on him, he gave off major golden retriever energy. I could see why everyone babied him.

His grin was extra wide as he used the frosting I had made to make a crooked smile on the cake before cutting it like it was his birthday.

“Mia has made this with a lot of love, by the way,” he added for precaution before cutting two huge pieces, giving one to each of the older

Whitlock twins.

Aurora looked excited about it while Alex was neutral as they both took a bite each. Ronan pretended to take a piece for himself and one for me, passing me a mischievous look.

I shake my head, grimacing as I saw the change in both their expressions.

God. I wanted to hide.

This is what I do for a living, and Aurora’s first impression of my work is going to be that I’m terrible at it.

That cake was sweet to the point of death.

Aurora broke into coughs, her eyes widening and reaching her brother who glared at her.

“What? is something wrong?” Ronan blinked innocently, sounding almost offended on my behalf.

Alex shook his head, painfully gulping. “It’s perfect.”

I bit my lower lip.

Ronan grinned like a fool. “Really? Let me have some.”

“Nope.” Alex snatched the cake from our side until it was out of reach. “Need to save some for tomorrow. It’s that good.”

I exchanged a look with Ronan, who looked like he wanted to laugh so loud. I, on the other hand, was red.
