Bring Your A Game, Mr Chapter 228
“No way! Even though I was super quick, I couldn’t even secure any tickets!” Danny exclaimed in mild disbelief.
After finishing with the payment process, Jack breathed a sigh of relief and waved his cell phone at Mikayla. “I managed to get three tickets, but they’re not the VIP ones.”
“That’s good enough! H is so popular and has such tech-savvy fans, so the fact that you’ve managed to get any tickets at all means you’ve surpassed the majority of them.” Following that, Mikayla looked at Elise. “Come with us when the time comes.”
As Elise looked at them, an idea formed in her mind, so she answered, “Alright, but I might be a bit late that evening. I have a surprise prepared for all of you.”
All at once, they stared expectantly at her.
“What’s the surprise? Tell us right now!”
“Yeah, don’t keep us in suspense!”
Nevertheless, she only gave a mysterious smile. As she glanced at Alexander, she noticed him with a curious gaze before he blurted, “Can’t you at least tell me?”
Elise playfully shook her head. “I have already said that it was a surprise! If I tell any one of you now, it won’t be a surprise anymore.”
Swer was e
Her answer was enough to placate them and they began to look forward to her so called ‘surprise.
After the banquet ended, the hosts saw the guests off at the door before returning to their respective rooms.
It was just like that as Elise and Alexander were the only two people left in the spacious hall.
“Danny told me you have a birthday present for me in my room,” Elise started, to which he nodded slightly with mild amusement. All of a sudden, she was a tad bit too eager to wait. “I’ll just pop in and check it out then.”
With that, she raced up the stairs to her room.
The moment she opened the door, she noticed gift boxes of all sizes neatly arranged at one side of the room–they were presents from Mikayla and the rest of her friends. On the other side of the room were boxes of different shapes and sizes wrapped with the same kind of paper. After Elise earnestly counted the presents one by one, she discovered that there were eighteen of them.
With that, she reached down to pick one at random and began disassembling the box.
Inside was a doll with a greeting card that read, ‘Hope you came into the world with eyes bright and full of stars. Wishing you a Happy 1st Birthday!
As she snorted out loud, she immediately began to tear open the second box where there was a pink princess gown inside. Its card read, “The two-year-old you must have been tottering about as you learn how to walk by now. You must have looked very cute!
Then, there was the next-‘Did you like hogging the television to watch cartoons as well? I wish I could have seen what you were like when you were three!
*Have you started preschool by now? Did you have many good friends? Once again, it’s your birthday. I hope you had a good year!
‘Did you like collecting toys? Being five years old must be a strange new world for
you!
*Now that you’re six, you’re about to attend grade school! In the future, you must be brave and strong?
‘Did the seven-year-old cutie pie have any hobbies? Can you tell me about them?’
There was more with similar messages.
As Elise tore the boxes open one by one, she found different presents and greeting cards in them. By the time she finished reading the 17th card, tears were already swimming in her eyes.
‘Good day to you, 18-year-old Elise Sinclair. I am 24-year-old Alexander Griffith. It’s nice to meet you! Even though I have missed your first 17 birthdays, I hope to be able to spend every future one with you! Being 18 means that you’re all grown up whereby your life can truly begin. I hope you have nothing but a beautiful life ahead
of you and that I may be able to accompany you every step of the way’
ext Alexander Griffith’
was enough to make her weep in earnest. When she turned around, she discovered Nexander standing behind her and gaming at her, so she threw herself into his arms wethout the hesitation to tightly squeeze him.
As he gently looked at her, he cupped the back of her head and asked, “Have you hashe looking at the presents
Ese moduled
Do you like them.”
While meeting his gaze, she told him, “This is my first time receiving so many presents at once. Id never be able to tell from our daily life that you, Alexander Gratish, can be such a romantic. I love these gifts. Thank you very much.”
