Chapter 830 Happy Birthday
Alaric bought an ice cream cone for Cecilia.
Cecilia felt that for a long time, she had forgotten what she wanted to eat, what she wanted.
For the first time, she felt a very strong sense of satisfaction with a food.
She ate it seriously.
Alaric sat across from her, just watching her.
There seemed to be a hint of a smile in his eyes as he watched her.
Alaric also smiled, just like that, inexplicably.
Cecilia seemed to see Alaric's smile, and then the smile in her eyes disappeared.
Alaric noticed Cecilia's change in mood, his eyes flickering slightly.
He shifted his gaze to the half-eaten ice cream in Cecilia's hand.
Alaric suddenly reached out and took it from Cecilia's hand.
Cecilia hadn't had enough.
She looked at Alaric in surprise.
Alaric said, "Although pregnant women don't have dietary restrictions, they shouldn't overeat. I'll finish the rest for you."
Cecilia pursed her lips.
Alaric started eating the remaining half of the ice cream.
Cecilia looked away.
There was still a hint of childishness on her face, the kind of dissatisfaction a child shows when they don't get to eat what they want.
"If you want to eat more, I'll bring you back next time," Alaric said. "You can't eat too much at once."
"I didn't really want to eat it," Cecilia replied.
Her tone clearly carried a hint of resentment.
Alaric chuckled lightly.
How long had it been since he had seen this side of Cecilia?
After eating the ice cream, Alaric took Cecilia for a walk.
When they left, they went to the jewelry section on the first floor.
Alaric said, "Let's buy a necklace for the baby."
Cecilia didn't refuse.
After she decided to keep the baby, she no longer resisted anything good for the baby.
Moreover, she couldn't refuse anything Alaric wanted to do.
The store clerk enthusiastically introduced many styles of necklaces to them.
"Do you like any of these?" Alaric asked Cecilia.
"Any of them are fine," Cecilia replied.
"Then let's go with this one," Alaric chose one.
The store clerk quickly responded, "Yes, Mr. Whitaker, I'll wrap it up for you right away."
"Two," Alaric added.
"Yes."
The store clerk was extremely respectful.
So other things Alaric could be indifferent about.
But when it came to other things, Alaric would ensure fairness for both children.
After buying the necklaces, it was getting late.
Cecilia felt it was time to go back.
Sitting in the car.
But it wasn't the way home.
Cecilia didn't ask much.
She was getting more and more used to having no choice in front of Alaric.
The car drove towards Lumina Mountain.
Cecilia's heart still fluctuated a bit.
The first time she discussed cooperation with Alaric was on this road to Lumina Mountain.
It was at the turn up ahead.
"Do you remember this place?" Alaric suddenly asked.
Cecilia responded with a sound.
Many things couldn't be forgotten just because she wanted to.
Otherwise, she would have forgotten everything she had with him.
"That day when we crashed and I saw it was you getting out of the car, I was really shocked, but more than that, I was delighted," Alaric murmured.
Cecilia's face was indifferent.
"When you said you wanted me to crash your wedding, I thought, how could there be such a good thing in the world," Alaric said, seemingly smiling a bit.
Probably recalling how they met.
Cecilia remained silent.
Indifferent to everything Alaric said.
Alaric didn't say much more.
Probably sensing Cecilia's rejection.
The car continued to drive towards the top of Lumina Mountain.
Not the usual path for people to pray, but another mountain, a place Cecilia had never been to.
The car stopped in front of a top-notch restaurant at the top of the mountain.
If Alaric hadn't brought her here, she wouldn't have known there was such a special place in Serenovia City.
Alaric seemed to notice Cecilia's confusion and said, "This place is membership-based, usually only serving men, unless they bring a female companion, but you should know what kind of companion that is. So you wouldn't know about this place."
Cecilia instantly understood.
This was probably the rumored brothel.
"But don't worry, I've already had this place shut down for reorganization. All the illegal transactions that used to happen here are gone. Now it's a proper restaurant. But since it was just reorganized not long ago, not many people know about it yet," Alaric explained.
Cecilia thought.
The owner of this place must feel so wronged.
Running a place well, just because Alaric couldn't play here, he turned it into this.
"Mr. Whitaker, Mrs. Whitaker," a row of attendants at the door greeted them respectfully.
Alaric led Cecilia into a suite.
Inside was a large floor-to-ceiling window, outside was a steep cliff, and below was a flowing river.
One had to admit.
It was indeed a good place.
"Cassius and I used to come here often," Alaric said.
"To play with women?" Cecilia blurted out.
Alaric chuckled lightly.
He wasn't angry at Cecilia's words.
He said, "Cassius often did."
Cecilia pursed her lips.
Alaric had said she was his only woman.
To be precise, she was his only woman before.
So Alaric didn't like to play around.
The once promiscuous Alaric was only hers.
Now the mature and steady Alaric, she was just one of many in his life.
Thinking about it, it really felt pathetic.
"Mr. Whitaker, Mrs. Whitaker, can we start serving the food?" the staff asked respectfully.
"Yes," Alaric nodded.
The staff then began to serve the dishes one by one.
Alaric and Cecilia sat at the dining table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Such a broad view, such a romantic and beautiful atmosphere, one had to admit, the former Alaric was indeed someone who enjoyed life.
The food was served.
Alaric had the server pour him some red wine.
He poured Cecilia some purified water.
Alaric said, "Cecilia, happy birthday."
Cecilia was stunned.
She looked at Alaric.
At that moment, she had really forgotten it was her birthday today.
The days were so muddled, she had forgotten many things.
No wonder Alaric was so generous today, taking her out shopping and eating.
She picked up her glass, "Thank you."
Cecilia took a sip of water.
Alaric took a sip of red wine.
In the large room.
Suddenly, beautiful piano music started playing, making the already romantic atmosphere even more beautiful and moving.
Alaric suddenly took out a gift box.
Cecilia paused while cutting her steak.
"I don't know if you'll like it," Alaric said.
As he spoke, he opened the gift box.
Inside was a diamond necklace.
The diamond's light sparkled brilliantly under the light.
Cecilia pursed her lips and asked, "Did you just buy it?"
Did he buy it when he bought the baby's necklace?
No.
He bought the diamond necklace and the baby's necklace at the same time.
To be precise, he had pre-ordered this necklace two months ago.
