Chapter 1701

Fiona didn’t even notice the glint in Chloe’s eyes, she simply waved her hand dismissively. “What’s the big deal about cutting a cake? It’s the same old routine each year, not worth getting worked up about. I’d rather not cut it at all than have to face those annoying people later”

Chloe’s lips curled slightly, “I thought you might regret it.”

someone she liked so much in her life. This was the best birthday ever. It turned out there were
