Chapter 1019

“My mommy has done a lot of bad things. If Jen finds out about it…”

At the thought of that, Felix trembled involuntarily.

After some time, he heard a sound outside the room and wondered if Jennifer and the others were back. “Jen, happy birthday!” He gave her his blessing inwardly. He had heard that Jennifer’s birthday banquet today was grand and attended by many big shots.

When she left the house carlier, she wore a pink gauze dress with a small crown on her head. Resembling a little princess, she looked extra dazzling.

“With all the lights shining on her in the banquet, I’m sure she looks even prettier, wouldn’t she?” Felix mused.

In truth, he wished he could give her the gift he prepared for her on her birthday banquet, even though it was not a valuable gift.

After an unimaginable time had passed again, the door to Felix’s room was pushed open suddenly. Next, he spotted a pink silhouette walk in, holding a slice of cake in her hand.

“Thank goodness you haven’t slept yet! If you fall asleep, this cake isn’t technically a birthday cake anymore tomorrow!” Jennifer said and brought the cake in her hands up to Felix.

“Here, this is my birthday cake. I’ve left you a big slice. It’s delicious. Have a taste of it,” Jennifer exclaimed with a bright smile.

Felix stared at the slice of cake before him blankly. Finally, after some time, he accepted it from her and began taking bites of it.

The cake was extra buttery, and though it was not too sweet, it was still delicious.

Jennifer held her chin with both hands and happily watched Felix eat the cake.

“I’ve told my mommy. Next year, she says my birthday banquet will be much simpler and won’t be inviting so many people. You have to attend my party by then!” Jennifer stated.

Felix stopped eating the cake. “Next year… Can I really attend her birthday banquet next year? Or will I not get to attend all of her birthday banquets in the future?” he wondered.
