Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 153 Birthday Celebration

In all honesty, I was worried about running into the paparazzi if I brought the ravioli to Nicholas. However, how could I possibly turn down a kind, old lady who was only eager to celebrate her grandson’s birthday?

As such, I eventually acceded to Monica’s request. It’s fine. I’ll just be extra careful when I get there.

After dinner, I had planned on staying to chat with Monica, only to have her insist that I leave early so the ravioli wouldn’t turn cold.

Soon, I bade my goodbye and left for Nicholas’ place.

Along the way, I chanced upon a cake shop, which gave me an idea. Since it’s his birthday, it wouldn’t be right to show up without a cake, would it?

Having made up my mind, I went ahead and bought a chocolate mousse cake, not even knowing if Nicholas would like it or not.

With ravioli and a cake in tow, I realized it would be better to ask Nicholas for his whereabouts lest I made a trip in vain.

“Hey, Nicholas, it’s me. Are you still on set?”

“No, I’m not feeling too well, so I’m staying home today,” Nicholas replied while coughing. “What’s the matter?”

He was coughing so much that I could not help but worry about his condition. “What’s wrong with you? Down with a cold?”

“Yes, but it’s not serious.”

Given how badly he was coughing, there was no way I would have believed him.

“So you’re at home in South Hill? Have you taken medicine?”

Nicholas once again went into a coughing fit before croaking, “I’ve run out of cold medicine at home. I fell asleep in the afternoon and haven’t gone out to buy more.”

Well, that’s not right. I can’t let a patient head out to get his own medicine.
