Chapter 41 Making It Happen

Jean cleared her throat on

on purpose.

A housekeeper immediately rolled out a serving cart.

On the cart were two cakes of roughly the same size.

One had Dominic’s name on it, the other had Winston’s

The cakes were set on the table, and the candles were lit.

Neither of the brothers had expected this scene. Their normally cool expressions flickered with visible surprise.

“This cake. Dominic looked up at Jean. His deep–set eyes stared straight at her, dark and unreadable.

Winston didn’t say anything.

His gaze remained on the cake.

The boy instinctively pressed his lips together, lost in thought.

“You two being here at the same time is a rare thing, so I figured I’d get ahead of it and wish you both happy birthday,” Jean said, blinking her bright eyes and curling her lips into a soft smile.

Dominic and Winston’s birthdays were close–only a week or two apart. Celebrating early together wasn’t too much of a

stretch

But Winston quickly caught the flaw in her story. He frowned and asked, “You knew I was coming back?”

He hadn’t told a soul about returning this weekend–not even Rylan. As far as he knew, the only person who could’ve possibly known….

Was Wingflare, the player in League of Legends.

Jean had already expected that question. She smiled and answered sweetly, “I actually just made one for Dominic. When you showed up. I added one for you too. I had extra cake batter anyway–it didn’t take much effort.”

She moved on quickly, ushering the brothers toward the cakes. “Come on, don’t waste my good intentions. Make your wishes. I’ll sing you a birthday song.”

She started swaying her head back and forth as she sang.

Her voice was rare and beautiful. No matter what she sang, it always sounded lovely. Even this simple birthday song was mesmerizing.

Dominic and Winston gradually shook off their surprise, unconsciously drawn into the sound of her voice.
