Chapter 362 Familiar Flavor

“Wow! Is that really a cake?”

“It looks like a real castle! It must be nearly twenty feet tall!”

“Are those Mr. and Mrs. Cross in front of the castle?”

“Definitely.”

“A pink castle cake! This makes me feel young again.”

“There are two older figures clapping beside them. Who are they?”

“Just decorations, like extra guests.”

Flolahed

The guests whispered in amazement. Even though they attended many parties, they were stunned by the sight.

Chloe wore a champagne strapless gown with layers of tulle. She looked like she was walking on clouds. Her hair was in a cute bun with a small tiara. Her charming eyes sparkled like stars. She looked sweet and playful, nothing like her usual style.

Kieran stared at her, completely captivated.

She walked past him and winked with a playful smile.

Kieran’s heart raced. He almost stopped breathing.

Stella and Elias were also surprised by the huge cake.

Chloe and Liam stepped forward and spoke in unison.

“Mom, Dad, happy 25th anniversary. May your love stay young forever.”

The siblings hugged their parents. Warm wishes filled the hall.

Stella smiled brightly at the pink castle cake.

She gazed at the figurines on top. The baker’s work was incredible.

It really was her and Elias.

Her eyes moved to the two other figures. She frowned slightly.

Who are they supposed to be?

“Mom, let’s cut the cake,” Liam said quickly, sensing her mood.

“It’s so beautiful I don’t want to eat it.”

“Mom, try this small one first.

Stella and Elias looked closer. Inside the big castle was a tiny five-layer cake.

“Elias, let’s cut it together.”

“Alright.”

They held the knife together and sliced the small cake.

“Mom, Dad, here you go.” Chloe handed them the first two pieces.

Stella and Elias smiled at each other.

“Is it as sweet as your marriage?” Iris asked. Everyone watched eagerly.

“Yes. As sweet as my life with Stella,” Elias said.

Stella didn’t reply. She took another bite and her eyes widened in surprise.

This taste…

Dad.

It tastes just like the cake Dad used to make.

She stared at the two small figurines again.

She knew exactly who they were.

Tears filled her eyes, her throat tightened, but she smiled softly.

“Stella, what’s wrong?” Elias asked immediately. He always noticed her change.

She shook her head and looked at her children.

“Mom, is it good?” Liam asked nervously.

“So good… very good,” Stella said, her voice a little shaky but full of happiness.

“Mom, this was Liam’s surprise for you,” Chloe said with a bright smile.

Stella hugged Liam tightly. “Thank you, baby. Thank you.”

Liam was surprised. He noticed Elias’ confused look.

“It tastes just like before. Like home. Like happiness.”

“I’m glad you love it.”

Liam had tracked down the old pastry chef who once taught Jasper. Using old inemories, they recreated the exact flavor Jasper had made years ago.

Stella looked at the figurines again. It felt like her parents were there, blessing her.

Flushed

“What is it?” Elias asked gently.

Stella shook her head, smiling like a blooming rose.

“Doesn’t the cake taste familiar to you?”

Elias froze. He took another bite and understood.

He pulled her closer, his arm around her shoulder.

They smiled at each other.

Tears in their eyes, but their hearts were full of joy.

“No business talk today! Let’s celebrate!” Miles shouted, popping champagne.

Everyone danced to the music.

Stella and Elias danced in the middle, graceful and perfect.

“Mr. Cross, you look just as handsome as our wedding day,” Stella said.

He smiled softly, his eyes gentle.

“Mrs. Cross, that means your love for me is just the same as it was back then.”

Years had passed. They were older and calmer.

But the love in their eyes only grew deeper.
