“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.

“It’ll be your birthday in January, Felix. I’ll celebrate it for you on that day!” Jennifer added.

Suddenly, Felix felt the cake in his hand become heavier than before.

“My birthday? I doubt I’ll get to celebrate my birthday in this house. A child like me doesn’t deserve to celebrate my

birthday in the Youngblood residence at all,” he pondered.

“I… I don’t like to celebrate my birthday.” He awkwardly came up with a random excuse. “I… I don’t like others

knowing when’s my birthday either.”

“I see.” Jennifer blinked her black eyes, puzzlement seemingly overflowing from them. “Well… how about I

celebrate your birthday in secret next time? That way, no one will find out about it,” she proudly said as if they

shared yet another secret between them.

Felix bit his lips tightly, and after a while, he nodded in approval.

After finishing the cake in his hand, Felix as if having mustered up his courage, uttered, “I… I have a birthday gift for

you, but it’s not worth much. If you don’t like it…”

“I’ll surely love the gift you prepared.” Jennifer was beaming as she reached her hands out before him, waiting for

him to pass her the gift.

However, Felix grabbed Jennifer’s hand, pulled her out of the room, and came all the way to the piano room in the

Youngblood residence.

The piano room was usually where he and Jennifer practiced piano.

“I’ve learned how to play a piece of music as a birthday gift for you… I hope that you’ll like it…” he explained

nervously. He was too embarrassed to say how he could only give her something like this because he had no money

and couldn’t afford a present.

Luckily, there was not a hint of disappointment on Jennifer’s face. Instead, she seemed to be looking

forward to it.

Sitting on the bench, Felix, after taking a deep breath, pressed his fingers against the piano keys.

The piano piece he picked was a highly challenging one. He had only heard its recording several times in his

memory. There was no one to teach him anything. All he did was play according to the music score he found online.

To play the piece perfectly and make Jennifer happy, he had secretly been practicing for a few days.

“She… She’ll like this piano piece, wouldn’t she? She loves challenging pieces like this,” he contemplated.

It was just that even though he could play all the notes perfectly, he could never grasp and replicate the emotions

while playing.

That was perhaps why his tune sounded a little different from Jennifer’s, almost as if missing something.

Even so, he still tried his best to his tune more melodious in hopes that she would like the piano pieces he played.

Yet, he could not seem to achieve it.

His fingers danced smoothly across the piano keys without making any mistakes.

And while he was playing the piece, his mind was full of Jennifer.

When she appeared in his room with a cake, he was undoubtedly thrilled.

When she told him she would secretly celebrate his birthday in the future, he was ecstatic. After all, that would

probably be the most special birthday he would ever experience.
