Chapter 1484 Uproar
Besides, with her identity, it’ll cause an uproar if news about her being pregnant out of wedlock spreads. Sonia nodded absent-mindedly at Arielle’s words. How can I forget to take birth control pills?
She hit her head at her clumsiness. I’m so stupid! How can I forget when I’m a medical student myself. Where has my common sense gone?
“That’s enough. Maybe it’ll be fine.” Arielle frowned upon seeing how upset and regretful Sonia looked. “But I’m scared!” I’m scared that there’s a baby growing in my belly. I’m not ready to be a mother yet.
Arielle patted Sonia’s shoulder to comfort her when she noticed the horrified look on the woman’s face. “Don’t be scared. You still have me.”
“Ms. Moore, you’re so nice.” Feeling touched, Sonia wrapped her arms around Arielle. Her cold, haughty attitude from when they first met was nowhere to be seen.
“You should really learn to be more careful.” Arielle sighed.
Sonia simply nodded her head listlessly at Arielle’s advice.
While Dylan was full of anticipation of what his daughter had prepared for him, the banquet finally ended. Sybil first ordered the chauffeur to send the Wilhelms back before heading back to the kitchen. Arielle joined him there after changing out of her formal attire.
A birthday cake was necessary for a Chanaean birthday.
As such, she had prepared a simple birthday cake for Dylan that night.
Whisking sugar and butter together, she then added eggs. In another bowl, she whisked flour, baking powder, and salt. Once that was done, she added the flour mixture and buttermilk into the butter mixture. After the batter was prepared, she poured it into the baking pan and baked it in the oven. After the cake had cooled down, she spread the frosting between the cake layers and around the whole cake. Next, she sprinkled candy sprinkles onto the cake. Finally, she stuck candles onto the finished cake, adding up to Dylan’s age with one extra to signify the hope of another full year lived. She didn’t care nor expect others to love her father, all she knew was that she would always love him.
Once the candles on the birthday cake were lit, she carefully carried it to the dining table. Sybil had led Dylan to the table just in time.
“Your Majesty, this is the birthday cake that the princess had made for you.”
As Sybil spoke, Dylan had already taken a seat and forked a piece of cake into his mouth with reddened eyes.
This is a unique Chanaean birthday cake. Twenty-five years ago, Maureen had made one for me. I can’t believe that twenty-five years later, I get to eat one that my daughter made.
“Happy Birthday, Dad,” Arielle wished as she looked at Dylan. Noticing the tears welling in his eyes, she paused briefly before continuing, “I’ll celebrate every birthday with you from now on.”
Dylan nodded his head silently, too choked up for words. He didn’t want to talk then, for he was worried that the tears that were on the verge of falling would stream down his face once he opened his mouth.
The birthday cake was the most precious birthday present he had ever received.
He didn’t expect Arielle to make one for him.
While Dylan was eating the birthday cake that Arielle made with teary eyes, the queen, on the other hand, was so furious that her eyes were bloodshot as she stood before the queen mother.
“Mother, Dylan has crossed a line! How could he attend the banquet with that Chanaean doctor?” Recalling Arielle’s challenging look back at the banquet earlier had the queen infuriated. She had wanted to go up to Arielle then and give her a few slaps.
The queen mother cast a nonchalant glance at the queen, feeling fed up with the latter’s antics.
“How many times have I told you to care for Dylan? I have said the same thing all these years, but did you listen to me?” The queen mother lifted her gaze to stare at the queen.
