Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 394

The fireworks in the sky grew more spectacular with every blast, looking as though they had no intention of stopping.

She couldn't help but marvel to herself. Whoever funded this must have millions of dollars to burn.

As Ivy was entirely captivated by the display, she completely missed someone quietly slipping a small cake into Alaric's hands from behind.

A second later, Alaric brought the small cake right into her line of sight.

Candles shaped into the number '23' were perched on top.

Ivy stared in utter shock.

She realized he really was celebrating her birthday a day early.

Which meant the fireworks truly were for her.

Her nose stung instantly, and tears spilled from her eyes.

Ivy didn't even know why she was crying.

Was it because she had never celebrated a single birthday growing up?

Or was it because he had put so much thought and effort into preparing all of this for her?

What had she done to deserve this?

Seeing her tears, Alaric held the cake in front of her with one hand and gently wiped her wet cheeks with the other.

"Birthday girl," he murmured, "I heard you'll be turning a year older tomorrow, so I wanted to welcome your special day early. From now on, you're going to stay by my side and be my Mrs. Foster forever, alright?"

He had only memorized her birthday that day Ethan shoved their marriage certificate in his face.

For the past few days, he had been constantly asking Leo how to throw an unforgettable, surprise birthday for a girl.

Leo had given him endless advice.

But Alaric felt none of it was surprising enough.

So, he decided to celebrate it a day early.

That way, she wouldn't be expecting anything when her actual birthday arrived.

Once someone expects something, the surprise is ruined.

Only the unpredictable could truly be called a surprise.

After finishing her wish, Ivy opened her eyes and blew out the candles.

Alaric looked at her with a gaze full of melting tenderness. "What did you wish for? Tell me, and I'll make it happen."

Ivy shook her head. "My wish will take a very, very long time to come true. I'll tell you when it finally does."

Assuming she was just playing mysterious, Alaric swiped a dab of frosting with his finger and smeared it onto her cheek.

"Are you sure you won't tell me tonight? Even if it takes a lifetime, I can still make it happen for you."

Ivy giggled, swiping frosting back onto his face.

"I'm not telling! If I say it out loud, it won't come true."

"Alright. Let's go back to the hotel and make Stella a little brother."

Alaric set the cake down on top of a nearby trash can, grabbed Ivy's hand, and led her away.

Ivy was speechless.

Back to the hotel? Make a brother?
