After Margot left with Spencer, Selena sat down next to Osvaldo and smiled, "I'm going out tonight."
Osvaldo reached out and pulled her into his arms. "I'll accompany you."
Selena knew that the man was worried about her safety and did not refuse, obediently lying in his arms and closing her eyes.
That night, in the luxurious central hall of the Cooke family villa, there was a beautiful nine-layered cake on display.
The two Cooke family daughters wore identical red dresses and tied their hair the same way. Apart from their red eyes, there was no sign of any flaws.
However, the atmosphere was not as lively as imagined.
Candy's father Noel was a businessman with a round beer belly and a kind, smiling face that resembled Maitreya Buddha. However, at this moment, there was no joy on his face. He was pacing back and forth in the house in anxiety.
His two precious daughters had not returned all night, and even though they were later safely sent back, their tearful appearance had nearly caused him to have a heart attack.
If the doctor had not repeatedly assured him that the two girls had not suffered any harm, he would have reported to the police long ago.
His wife Aleena was very beautiful, but at the moment she also looked worried as she looked at her two daughters.
"Baby, don't be afraid, tell Mom, what happened?"
"Don't be afraid, did someone bully you? Tell Daddy, Daddy will definitely beat him until he's toothless..."
No matter how they asked, the two daughters, who usually loved to talk and laugh, remained silent about why they were crying.
Apart from when they first entered the house and burst into tears in their parents' arms, the two girls showed no signs of abnormality.
Noel had intended to cancel the birthday banquet to comfort his daughters, but Nova disagreed, saying that she had invited guests.
The two sisters had pure hearts and wide-ranging friendships. They were very popular at Capital University, and the birthday banquet had invited many classmates.
All the students in Class 7 were happy to come, but when they walked in and saw the twin who were always cheerful and happy with red and swollen eyes, they were shocked.
"What's wrong?"
"You should be happy on your birthday, don't cry..."
Candy had almost recovered by now and answered her classmates' questions, occasionally looking up and glancing towards the door. "It's fine, we were just scared by a poisonous snake."
Upon hearing Candy's words, everyone didn't know whether to feel relieved or more anxious.
"Snake?!"
"Did you guys go to the zoo? Don't they keep the snakes locked up in the zoo? Did it accidentally get out?"
Candy remembered Penelope and gritted her teeth. "It did accidentally get out, but it's been caught and I believe it won't have the chance to come out again."
Everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
The couple from the Cooke family were relieved that their daughter had finally spoken and handed the cake knife to Nova. "Sweetie, all your classmates are here, you can make a wish and cut the cake now."
Nova looked at the knife that was handed to her and then turned her head to look outside again.
Candy furrowed her brows, looked at her watch, and said softly, "Just wait a bit longer."
Aleena asked gently, "What are we waiting for?"
