Chapter 53

Alice never expected this welcome. She remembered Noah and Luke showing up after her exams. last time, but all the attention was on Chloe. She was always overlooked. This time, someone had planned a celebration for “her“. It was touching.

Jack leaned against a car, his figure tall and lean. He looked at her, his handsome features more serious than usual, less languid. Alice bit her lip and walked towards him.

Garrett waved a banner enthusiastically.“Alice, this is my surprise for you! Do you like it?” Alice laughed, a little shyly. “Thanks, it’s a bit much.”

“The more the merrier! Better than some insincere people showing up with just a bouquet of flowers, right?” Garrett knew how to deliver a subtle burn..

Alice looked at the flowers. Thank you, but give these to Chloe. People might think you favor me over Chloe, who’s adopted.”
