Me And My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 154

Reaching out for Heath, she realized he was no longer beside her.

Suddenly, the living room burst into light, adorned with a myriad of colorful fairy lights, small lamps, and a dazzling chandelier.

Before she could react, a crowd emerged, exclaiming, “Happy Birthday!”

Aurora was engulfed in a sea of familiar faces – Alaric, Zane, Lysander, Daxton, Cheryl, Jay, Kieran, and even Vespera, a rare sight. They brandished sparklers and streamers, showering her with birthday wishes.

Aurora stood, rooted in surprise. Whose birthday was it? Was it really hers today?

Since her rebirth, she had celebrated her 18th birthday, but the exact date had slipped her mind, vaguely remembered as sometime in

October.

Her last birthday, uncelebrated, coincided with a familial move and a rift with Heath, thus passing unnoticed.

In fact, the actual date of her birthday was a blur to her.

But now, amidst this unexpected celebration, was it truly her birthday?

Approaching Aurora with laughter in their eyes, Vespera and Cheryl playfully teased, “Aurora, are you so stunned that you’ve forgotten it’s your own birthday?”

Aurora, her expression a mix of confusion and surprise, shook her head, admitting, “I honestly don’t remember it…”

With a comforting embrace, Cheryl and Vespera assured her, “It’s alright, we haven’t forgotten.”

The expansive living room of the Strider family’s villa was aglow with elegant lights. Gifts in abundance covered the floor, and a grandiose three–tier cake stood as a centerpiece. The gathered friends directed their expectant gazes towards Aurora, eagerly awaiting her reaction.

Overcome by the moment, Aurora’s emotions brimmed over, and tears began to cascade down her cheeks. She alternated between sobbing and laughing, a sight that bewildered Cheryl and Vespera.

In a tone laced with concern, they inquired, “Aurora, what’s wrong? Why these tears?”

Wiping her eyes, yet unable to stem the flow, Aurora managed through her mixed emotions, “It’s nothing serious… I’m just… overwhelmed… and, to be honest, quite hungry…”

The room fell into a brief, perplexed silence.

Seizing the opportunity, Lysander quipped with a smirk, “Are these tears because you’re touched, Aurora?‘

Firing back with a mix of humor and sincerity, Aurora declared, “Absolutely! It’s typical for girls to shed tears when deeply moved!”

Zane, with a hint of sarcasm, couldn’t resist commenting, “Get a grip, Aurora. What will happen if we throw an even bigger party for you next year? Collapse from shock?”

Cheryl, not missing a beat, retaliated with a swift kick to Zane’s leg, chiding him, “Would it kill you to be nice for once? If not, just zip it!”

Rubbing his leg and feigning hurt, Zane retorted, “With that temper, I wonder who’d be brave enough to marry you!”

Unperturbed, Cheryl simply rolled her eyes dismissively.

Alaric, ever the mediator, gestured towards the dining area, “Let’s head to the dining room. The chef has prepared an array of delicious dishes.

Trying to compose herself, Aurora trailed behind the others, her tears still flowing despite her efforts. The dining room was a feast for the senses, laid out with an array of dishes that she adored.

Watching from a distance, Heath observed Aurora, mingling and laughing amidst her tears. He understood that what she yearned for was not opulence or luxury, but rather the simple assurance of security and love.

Heath recognized her unspoken longing. Despite her resilience and success, Aurora craved genuine affection and a sense of belonging.

Committed to fulfilling these needs, Heath had orchestrated this surprise, bringing her an unexpected joy.

Lysander, tapping Heath on the shoulder, commented, “Putting in so much effort for her happiness. When did you turn into such a hopeless romantic?”

Heath, with a slight grin, shot back, “Jealous? You’d do the same if you had someone in your life.”

Dinner unfolded with a lively ambiance. Cheryl and Zane’s playful banter, Alaric and Lysander’s jests, the animated conversations of Jay and Kieran, and Vespera’s whispered exchanges with Aurora filled the room with laughter and chatter. In contrast, Daxton remained a quiet observer.

Heath’s gesture for a toast quieted the room. Raising his glass, he proclaimed, “Happy Birthday, Aurora.”

The group rose, echoing in unison, “Happy Birthday!”

After the toast, Lysander nudged Aurora teasingly. “How about a thank you for Heath? He spent the better part of the day preparing this surprise for you.”
