Chapter 135 Lillian's Touching Moment
Following Marshall, it was Victoria's, Clara's, and Thaddeus's turn to rise and toast to Lillian once again, along with everyone else.
Today, Lillian's mood was exceedingly joyous. She had become the focal point under everyone's compliments and well wishes. She felt utterly triumphant and basked in infinite glory, her vanity immensely gratified.
Correspondingly, her impression of Kevin grew better and better. Her satisfaction grew stronger with each passing moment.
However, whenever Lillian exchanged glances with Kevin, she couldn't help but feel a flutter of panic, an unusual emotion that uncontrollably surged within her. This made Lillian feel a mix of shame and guilt while also being unable to resist these feelings.
After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the private room soared with enthusiasm. Everyone bustled with toasts, and the ambiance heated up.
Everyone present praised the dishes and the environment, and they were all very satisfied with Kevin's arrangement for the day.
With bellies full of food and spirits high, no one seemed ready to call it a night.
As the atmosphere escalated after the meal was served, Kevin stood up once again and, after toasting to Lillian and other senior family members, clapped his hands towards the beautiful waitress and said, "Please bring out the cake now."
"Okay," the waitress answered and turned to leave.
Suddenly, the lights in the hall dimmed, setting a magical ambiance for the birthday celebration. The soft, melodious strains of a piano started to fill the air, completely altering the mood of the banquet hall.
The doors were then opened, and a procession of waitstaff flanked a five-tiered, extravagant birthday cake on their way in. Beside them, a violinist played the "Happy Birthday" tune.
The six waitress ladies all simultaneously broke into a smiling rendition of the "Happy Birthday" song. The candles on the cake suddenly sputtered and burst into brilliant sparkles of fireworks.
The mood was entirely enkindled at that moment.
The crowd stood up and, led by Kevin, began to sing the birthday song for Lillian.
Under such an atmosphere, Lillian was completely intoxicated. She never expected Kevin to arrange something so romantic and heartwarming. Tears slid uncontrollably down her cheeks.
Taking a large bouquet of carnations from a waitress, Kevin approached Lillian with a tender smile, presenting flowers and the gift into her hands.
"Mom, happy birthday," Kevin uttered softly, then took Lillian by the hand and walked her to the cake. Lillian then blew out the candles in front of everyone.
The lights brightened once again. The crowd burst into applause, celebrating the moment. At this moment, Lillian was so moved that she became a veritable fountain of tears.
[Lillian's Affinity with You: +5 (95 Affinity)]
Seeing Lillian's affinity rising to 95, Kevin felt a surge of excitement.
Today, he had spent a lot for Lillian, including a Mercedes-Benz E300 L luxury edition, a Rolex watch, and a party in the hotel. Kevin had indeed spent a fortune.
Witnessing Lillian's touched and happy expression, Victoria looked on with a mixture of envy and sourness, while Cody displayed an air of disdain and mockery, whispering secretly with Lily, both with faces of disdain.
Scarlett, while happy, also seemed a bit pained. She knew without even thinking how much money Kevin must have spent on all this arrangement.
Sofia was utterly enraptured, envious to the point of wishing she was the one celebrating her birthday, not her mother. Her look at Kevin was already filled with anticipation and admiration.
Clara and Thaddeus smiled and observed without showing much envy or excessive joy, simply singing along and clapping their hands with everyone else.
Hannah, who had never seen such a spectacle before, was left agape in amazement. The romantic scene was irresistibly appealing to a young girl like her and filled her with longing and fantasies about love.
Natalie alone sat silent and indifferent, her gaze towards Kevin unfathomable.
Inside the hall, everyone reacted differently, a microcosm of the myriad facets of human life. But today, Lillian and Kevin were undoubtedly the center of it all.
Lillian had never felt such romance and warmth before, nor had she ever been as blissfully happy as she was right now. She was moved to tears and at a loss for words.
"Thank you, Kevin. I really don't know how to thank you. You've been so nice to me. I'm very happy! Today is the happiest day of my life," Lillian said as she dabbed at her tears.
