This cake does not look as luxurious and exquisite as the 5-layer cake made by Asher, and it does not have lifelike shock-absorbing fondant dolls.
It is just a normal cake. However, the line of words written with chocolate sauce on the cake makes a warm current surged in his heart.
The content of that line is: "Happy birthday to my dear Mr. Chris."
The signature is: "Love your wife, Nora."
Seeing these words, Chris smiled knowingly, and said to the rider: "The cake is okay, I will just sign for it."
After that, he signed the bill and handed it back to the rider.
The rider took the order and left, and Chris packed the cake again and carried it back to the house.
This scene happened to be seen by Mrs. Bromwick who was drying her clothes on the terrace of the house opposite.
Seeing that Chris took a cake and walked back to the house, she couldn't help but returned to the room curiously, and asked Noah and Aaron lying on the bed: "Noah, Aaron, do you know what day is today?"
Noah smiled bitterly: "Mom, I have been eating, drinking, and sleeping on the bed from before the new year until now. I don't know what day is the solar calendar, the lunar calendar, and the day of the week."
Aaron echoed: "Grandma, I don't remember the day either."
The old lady Bromwick muttered: "Today is the 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month, and the dragon raised its head, but I can't remember who celebrates the birthday today."
"The unfilial son Davis seemed to be born in winter, and the dead girl Nora seemed to be in summer…"
Aaron remembered something, and said: "February Dragon looked up…Today seems to be Chris's b_stard's birthday!"
Old lady Bromwick frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Aaron nodded again and again: "Once I went to the barbershop to cut my hair just after the 1st month of the year, I just saw Chris and Nora having a meal in the small restaurant next to the barbershop, and there was another 1 on the table."
"I observed the little cake. It was Chris's candle, so it must be Nora who celebrates Chris's birthday."
"Grandma, you don't know, the cake was shabby at the time, and it was not as big as a damn dish."
When the old lady Bromwick heard this, she seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that today is the birthday of Chris the white-eyed wolf! I didn't expect it to be so soon!"
Aaron asked puzzledly: "Grandma, what's the matter? Why do you say that?"
Old Mrs. Bromwick curled her lips and said: "Before the New Year, many people lined up at the door of Chris's house to give him gifts."
"You see, this is just the 1st month, and no one congratulated him on his birthday. Those who are wealthy and powerful don't take him seriously anymore!"
Aaron asked subconsciously, "Grandma, can you tell that Chris is not in a good situation from this?"
Mrs. Bromwick said solemnly: "Aaron, there is an idiom. As long as you see a leaf falling, it means that autumn is here, and autumn is here, can winter be far behind?"
Then, she said with an unpredictable analysis: "Think about it, if Chris is really good now, then his door must be surrounded by wealthy people now."
"There is an idiom. When a person is popular, the doorstep is more lively than the vegetable market!"
"But you see, for Chris's birthday today, for those who want to curry favor with him, such a big event is much more important than the New Year."
"Up to now, they haven't seen a person come to their house!"
"With this signal alone, I can make a clear judgment. Chris must be messed up right now, or maybe it's almost done!
