“Rachel, Mr. Grant loves you so much. He prepares something special for you every year on your birthday. You two must be getting close to some good news, right? We’re all waiting for your wedding.”

Rachel smiled gently. “Lucas has always put work first. We’re not in a rush about marriage. As long as we have each other in our hearts, that’s enough.”

Upon hearing that, everyone became even more envious of their relationship.

“Even if you say that, Mr. Grant must want to marry you as soon as possible. I bet this birthday party is so grand because he’s going to propose tonight.”

As soon as those words were spoken, people around them started cheering.

“I think so too. I really think so. Timing-wise, it makes sense for Mr. Grant to propose.”

“Oh my God, I’m so excited.”

Rachel pressed her lips together. Even though she knew Lucas had no such plan, she could not stop herself from feeling hopeful.

If Lucas really proposed to her tonight, that would be perfect.

As people discussed it, the rumor spread quickly In no time, everyone was saying that Lucas was going to propose to Rachel that night.

Julian, Ethan, and Ivy heard the news. Their little faces turned cold.

Bad Daddy was actually going to propose to bad Rachel today.

Where did that leave Mommy?

Ethan put his hands on his hips. “That’s too much. He hasn’t even divorced Mommy yet, and he’s already proposing to another woman.”

Ivy hugged her strawberry cake, her cheeks puffed out. “Exactly.”

Julian crossed his arms. “Don’t be mad. Bad Daddy won’t succeed tonight. He’ll just embarrass himself.”

Ivy kept chewing her blueberry cake. “Right, right.”

Julian looked at Ivy and helplessly slapped his forehead. “Ivy, didn’t you say on the way here that you wouldn’t eat a single bite of anything here?”

“I didn’t eat one bite. I ate two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight bites.”

Julian and Ethan were speechless.

After finishing her small cake, Ivy licked her lips and set her sights on a piece of chocolate cake.

It looked so sweet and delicious.

Just as she was about to pounce on it, Julian grabbed her in time. “Ivy, we have something important to do.”

“But bad Daddy isn’t even here yet, and it’s not time for the fireworks,” Ivy said, blinking her big eyes.

“We need to check where the surveillance room is.”

Ivy nodded seriously. “Okay.”

“Let’s go.”

Ivy followed her two brothers. After taking two steps, she hurried back, took a huge bite of the chocolate cake, and then left happily with them.

At Grant Enterprise.

“Mr. Grant, Ms. Hart’s birthday party is about to start. Are you heading over now?”

Lucas finished signing the document in his hand and looked up. “Birthday party?”

“Yes, today is Ms. Hart’s birthday. Did you forget”

There had been a lot going on lately, and Lucas had not been focused on Rachel. He really had forgotten.

“Was everything arranged as usual?”

“Yes, everything was handled according to the usual arrangement.”

A long time ago, Lucas had promised Rachel that he would spend every birthday with her and set off dazzling fireworks to celebrate.

Over time, it had become a tradition. Every year his staff arranged it. To Lucas, it was just a promise. It did not carry any special meaning.

“Also, the paternity test results will be ready tomorrow.”

“Mr. Grant, are you going to Ms. Hart’s birthday party? She has called several times to ask.”

Lucas raised his hand and checked the time. He stood up, grabbed his coat, and walked out.

Katherine finished cooking dinner and asked Megan to call the three kids downstairs.

Megan came down a moment later. “Katherine, no one’s upstairs.”

“No one? How is that possible?” Katherine set down the dish in her hand and went upstairs to check every room.

They were nowhere to be found.

The three kids had gone upstairs right after school. Katherine and Megan had been in the kitchen cooking and had not seen them come down.

“Oh no.” Katherine rushed downstairs. The invitation that had been casually tossed there that day was gone.

She instantly realized that the three kids had gone to Rachel’s birthday party.
