Before he could complete, Rose entered the room and announced, “Oh my sweet girl, you are looking so pretty in this. Now come on. We have to rush to the lawn as the guests have already started arriving and William is waiting for us.
Eva looked at Michael, who gave a nod at her, and then they left for the lawn.
The moment Eva reached the lawn, her mouth agape as she was looking at the extravagant decoration for the birthday party.
Michael was also looking at the same scene. He was feeling guilty as if Eva would have always celebrated her birthday like this, only if they had not taken some decisions in the past, but as parents they did what they thought was right for her.
“So do you like it? “ Steve asked Eva, and in return she gave a warm smile at him
“I loved it. “
“So come on, let’s begin the fun."
So first it was a cake-cutting ceremony. Eva got astonished by looking at the big three-tier cake
Rose forwarded her the knife, Eva cut the cake and all the people present at the party sang a birthday song for her
Eva fed the first piece of cake to her dad and then to Rose and William. Michael, Steve William, and Rose also fed her a piece of cake.
The guests started gifting her presents and Eva was hesitant to accept this first but rose blinked her eyes to assure her so she accepted all the presents with a smile
Rose also forwarded a gift to her, and so did William.
Eva opened the gift given by Rose and found a beautiful ruby and diamond jewelry set
And William gifted her a set of expensive watches with some perfumes
Eva thanked them first. She was going to deny these gifts as it were too expensive, but Rose uttered
“Don’t you dare to refuse it, and we know you will like our gifts the most."
“Yes, you know we cannot wait to relish a delightful handmade cuisine from you."
Eva giggled at William’s words and stated in a soft tone
"Well, it doesn’t matter if you win or not, as soon I am going to cook the best cuisine for you both
So don’t worry about the challenge."
Steve also forwarded a box towards her and it was a diamond bracelet. Eva gave a smile at him
"So tell me when we are going on a dinner date. I hope you will say, Don’t worry, Steve; it matters whoever wins the challenge. I will go to dinner with you only.
Steve mimicked her words in her tone and style
Eva smacked on his arms
Jacey also entered the party, spotting her. Eva was very pleased. Jacey passed a small gift to her and took Eva in a hug. Eva introduced Jacey to the Smith family and her dad.
Richard arrived on the lawn with an envelope, ready to wish Eva and present his gift to her. It amazed her at the fact that all of them are too serious about the challenge
Eva opened the envelope as Richard was waiting for her response, noticing the picture inside her jaw dropped as it was the picture of the most expensive cooking range and also the baking kit
Eva glanced at Richard, who was looking excited to know her reaction
“It’s very thoughtful of you, but sorry...”
Rose interfered in between to look at the picture. "Don't deny it, dear Richard. I am really impressed by your gift. I think she will like this gift the most.
