Chapter 0276

From a distance, I saw someone running toward me. Pete pushed open the car door before dashing over. Holding up the cake in my hand, I shouted, "Happy birthday!"

He grinned like an excited child. He looked half asleep just moments ago. but he instantly became energetic when he saw me. Her kly ran up to me and gave me a big hug.

"I had a late business dinner last night and could barely wake up this moming. I thought I was dreaming!"

"You wish. How could you possibly be dreaming about me?"

He took the cake from my hands and felt quite embarrassed. "You didn't need to buy this. I'm all grown up now. You being here is the best birthday gift.

"Oh, you don't like it? I'll throw it away then." I pretended to grab it back, but Pete immediately clutched the cake tightly.
