55. A Surprise ZAIA. or I Am The Luna Chapter 133 By Moonlight Muse

I press my lips together for a moment before looking towards the front door.

“Your father’s. It’s his birthday today, remember?” I explain, glancing back at him.

He cocks a brow.

“Right… don’t really remember celebrating it…” he remarks as he frowns, as if thinking over what I just said for a second.

I’m relieved when the doorbell rings and I break the extreme tension between us and hurry over to the door.

“Fuck.” I hear Sebastian mutter, about to turn questioningly but decide against it and instead pull open the door.

Mr King is standing there, looking surprisingly casual. He’s traded in his usual suit for pinstripe pants and a white shirt.

“Hello Zaia, good evening.” he holds out some flowers, making my eyes widen in surprise.

“Oh, thank you!” I exclaim, accepting the white roses. He has two other bundles and I smile, knowing instantly that one is for Valerie and the smaller bouquet is for Sia. “This is so sweet.”

He gives me a curt nod in response as I step aside, allowing him in.

“It’s nothing.”

‘He’s here! Stay ready guys.’ I tell Valerie.

‘On it.’ she replies.

I hear a giggle from Sia, and I smile, closing the door and turning around to see Atticus has gone into the lounge too, but Sebastian is still standing there leaning against the wall as he gives his father a nod when he passes him by.

I motion with my head to follow his father, but he doesn’t move until I reach him. He pushes away from the wall, falling in step with me just as the others shout ‘surprise,’ making Aran stop in his tracks.

“A bit much, isn’t it?” Sebastian remarks as the kids begin laughing.

“Grandad! We made a surprise party for you!” Zion exclaims, gesturing to the grey, black and silver balloons.

“I can see that… this was not necessary, but thank you. Thank you, children.” Aran pats their heads and I smile, watching the exchange. There’s a faint smile tugging at the corner of Aran’s lips.
