At the dinner table.
Everyone at the table was seated in a circle. The atmosphere was lively, and there was a cake in the middle of the table.
We sang happy birthday. The candles stuck on the cake lit the room dimly.
Madam Klein blew hard happily, and the candlelight disappeared. The room became bright again.
"Happy birthday!"
“Thank you all."
Madam Klein smiled brightly, her eyes narrowing into crescents when suddenly, someone boomed.
"What did you wish for?"
Madam Klein pursed her lips tightly and smiled in a mysterious way that attracted everyone's attention.
"My wish?
"I hope my son and his girlfriend will tie the knot as soon as possible and then give birth to a bunch of chubby kids so that I don't have to be too idle."
When I heard everyone cheering, I felt an ominous premonition in my heart. I did not expect this to happen.
Marius could only smile a little embarrassedly. His expression was stiff as he lowered his head to avoid the burning gazes on him.
"Haha..."
Marius smiled brightly. He tried his best to suppress the smile before nodding at everyone, flattering them.
"Oh, it seems the wish will come true soon! Isn't that right, Marius?"
"That's right! That's right! Don't let your mother down, kid!"
"Yes, fulfill your mother's wish!"
I wished I could hide in a hole in the ground when I heard these words at this moment.
Everyone else looked at me and praised me even more. "Oh, Wanda, don't be so shy! Isn't this normal?"
"Yes, yes. Come, tell me where you work!"
I was getting more and more agitated by the people at the party, my expression turning ugly. Suddenly, Marius stood in front of me and dealt with them with ease.
