My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 429

Knock knock.

Lauren and the others in the room knocked twice on the door.

"Come in," said Colton.

Soon, a man in a white chef's uniform walked in pushing a cart. There was a 1.5-meter tall six-tier birthday cake on the cart, which was extremely luxurious and beautiful. It was also embellished with diamonds!

"Hey, the cake I ordered is here!"

Colton frantically stood up with excitement. Likewise, the other classmates of hers also stood up and walked over.

"Wow, Class President, what a luxurious cake you've ordered!"

"Indeed, Colton is very generous!"

"I've never seen such a pretty birthday cake before!"

Colton was very smug. "Since it's our belle's birthday, of course I have to host her with the highest standards!"

While being smug, she was very curious too, because she didn't expect that the Maxim cake store would serve such upscale cakes.

There was a white card below the cake.

A female classmate picked it up and exclaimed, "Happy Birthday, sweetie!"

"Wow, Colton, you actually took the chance to confess to Lauren while gifting the birthday cake. Haha!"

The words made Lauren feel extremely awkward. She knew that Colton had once liked her before and she even thought that Colton must have already lost those feelings for her. She didn't expect Colton to write such a card to her.

Colton knew that Lauren was now someone else's wife and that such a term was extremely unsuitable.

He frantically said, "Stop the speculation. You guys heard me when I called to book a cake. I only said that it's a girl's birthday but I didn't mention who it was for. The bakery might have misunderstood. Lauren, you won't mind, would you?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Lauren felt what Colton said made sense. "It's okay."

The crowd thought it was a mistake made by the cake store but they had no idea that the luxurious cake was not the one that Colton booked at all!

It was the birthday cake that Jordan prepared for Lauren! The chef who pushed the cake in introduced, "This cake of ours will look better with the lights off. Should I turn off the lights and let you enjoy the view?"

The crowd was suddenly surprised.

"Is there a special nighttime effect? It's the first time I've heard of a cake that will look different with the lights off!"

"Wow, the design of this cake is really romantic."

Lauren was curious too. Colton smiled smugly, feeling rather proud. Hence, the chef switched off the lights in the room, and as expected, layers of colorful lights of the cake were lit up, making it look even more beautiful, just like a small, snowy mountain.

However, the next second they switched off the lights...

The sounds of the piano suddenly filled the room!

A classic C chord rang.

Immediately afterward, a touching song sounded.

"Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor..."

Lauren was stunned!

"That's the song, Need You Now! Does that voice belong... to Jordan!?"

Lauren often listened to that song while showering and she had already heard it countless times before. Hence, she knew what song it was as soon as she heard the intro.

She could tell whose voice it was immediately.

It belonged to her husband, Jordan!

She finally understood why there would be a piano and her microphone in the room. It turned out that Jordan had arranged for it!

The others were confused.

"Colton, did you hire a professional singer to perform for Lauren?" A male classmate asked.

Colton was stunned for a while before putting on a pretense. "Of course."
