Elijah said, "Don’t worry about them."
Violette suggested, "How about we get a bigger one? What do you think of a ten-inch cake?"
Elijah told the shopkeeper, "Ten inches."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Alright. You two look so cute together."
Elijah’s face turned red instantly.
Elijah turned to the shelves, "Do you need anything else to take home?"
Violette replied, "No, I don’t..."
Elijah suggested, "Let’s buy some anyway, for your mom."
Violette found his blushing face amusing, "Alright, let’s get some."
An hour later.
Violette pushed the wheelchair out of the dessert shop.
Elijah held the cake, looking a bit awkward.
Luckily, there weren’t many people on the street.
The temperature was only 5 degrees, b
ut it felt like there was a fire beside him, warding off the cold.
The two returned to the restaurant, where
everyone had already arrived in the private room.
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Elijah, wearing a white sweater, looked different, as if he had become much younger.
He was also holding a huge cake, which seemed quite out of place, as e
veryone knew he didn’t like sweets.
Brandon cleared his throat and walked up to them, "You guys went to get a cake? I brought one too, but it’s not as big as yours."
Violette felt embarrassed and explained, "He said he wanted cake, so we went to buy one."
Brandon asked with confusion, "He said he wanted cake?"
Violette replied, "Yes. Is everyone here? If so, I’ll go and open the cake."
