The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 181 "I'm sorry, Lisette. We couldn't make it as grand as we hoped, and the party had so many hiccups. After the party wrapped up, Ulysses and the others apologized to Lisette.

They knew Lisette's birthday bash was nothing compared to the extravagant affair Calliope had enjoyed. They had truly wanted to give her something even more special.
