Chapter 817 Her Birthday

At Charles’ words, Whitney let out a sigh.

Jasmine sounded quite excited, which made Whitney rather nervous.

Nonetheless, she didn’t dare interrupt the siblings’ conversation. As such, she could only watch Charles silently.

That was why she had planned to celebrate it herself quietly. Besides, she didn’t want
