In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 210

Upon receiving his birthday wishes, I glanced at the phone to look at the date and realized it was my birthday.

“Thank you!” I was stunned. I had forgotten my birthday after getting married to Ashton. Truth be told, if it were not for the occasional glances at my identity card, I probably would have lost track of my age.

“Do you have any plans for the evening?” He inquired.

I raised my head and looked at the sunset. The night was falling. I seldom went out as I was about to deliver the baby. Thus, I answered, “I’m staying at home!”

“Oh. Do you want me to come over then? To celebrate your birthday?” John asked.

“No, thanks! It’s fine.” I appreciated his kindness, but Ashton would rather not see him.

I thought it was Ashton when the doorbell rang. Why did he press the doorbell when he could unlock the door with his fingerprint?

John ordered, “Open the door! There’s a gift for you!”

After sitting there stunned for a while, I got up and opened the door.

The was a huge pink cake placed at the entrance, surrounded by many heart-shaped balloons with fluorescent lights inside. They looked beautiful in the night.

“Do you like it?” John’s voice traveled over from the other end of the line.

I was stunned and tried to suppress the feeling of joy. “You made that?”

He replied softly, “Yeah! Raise your head and look at the sky!”

I followed his instruction and was amazed by the beautiful fireworks. The night sky was filled with colors and light.

“Thank you, John!” I was touched, and I could feel myself tearing up.

It was great to be on someone’s mind.

“You’re welcome! I’ll celebrate your birthday every year onward,” John responded calmly.

Watching the fireworks shattered into thousands of sparks, I was dazzled by its beauty. Rebecca and I shared the same birthday.

After the colorful sparks faded, the pink cake was carried into the villa. Mrs. Eriksen and Molly looked around and asked me whose birthday was it.

I smiled and told them, “It’s mine!”

Mrs. Eriksen was shocked to learn that. “Oh my, it’s your birthday today, Letty? I should call Mr. Ashton right now! I’ll tell him to give you a big surprise!”
