Listening to the children finish the song, Aubree felt warm. Tears sprung to her eyes.
Alfie and Diana hopped off the sofa, rushing to hold her hands on either side. “Grandma, make a wish and blow out the candles.”
“Grandma, what wishes do you have? Close your eyes so it will come true.”
Aubree was pulled by them to the coffee table. In fact, she disliked anything superstitious, as it would make her look childish, which didn’t match her age and identity.
“Will them come true?” she asked, not fully believing.
Diana replied, “Grandma, if you do believe it, your wishes will come true. All our birthday wishes have come true so far.”
Aubree sat on the sofa, putting her palms together. She closed her eyes and made wishes inwardly.
“I hope Ivan will recover soon. Nothing bad will ever happen to him in the future.”
Then she blew out the candle.
The children applauded happily.
Next, Aubree would cut the cake, which was highly expected by the children.
She raised her head and asked, shocked, “Did you guys make the cake?” She found the cream stains on their sleeves, but they were not from the cake on the table.
Alfie and Diana nodded, smiling at her brightly.
The butler added, “Alfie and Diana are really good with their hands. They made the birthday cake alone without asking me for help.”
The children were only six. Aubree could hardly believe that they had made the cake for her.
“Hurry up to cut the cake, Grandma,” Alfie prompted. “You’ll have longevity after having the cake.”
His words sent Aubree into happiness.
