Rift in the perfect picture

Chapter 0276

From a distance, I saw someone running toward me. Pete pushed open the car door before dashing over. Holding up the cake in my hand, I shouted, ” Happy birthday!”

He grinned like an excited child. He looked half asleep just moments ago. but he instantly became energetic when he saw me. Her kly ran up to me and gave me a big hug.

“I had a late business dinner last night and could barely wake up this moming. I thought I was dreaming!”

“You wish. How could you possibly be dreaming about me?”

For some reason, I felt bad for him after hearing his words. Being a rich boy, he probably had never worked so hard for anything in his life before.

In the past, he only drank when he wanted to. He would never force himself to drink for business till the point he could barely wake up.

“I’m glad it’s not a dream, or I’d have been devastated when I woke up.” He had a silly grin on his face, showing his white teeth. “I even forgot it was my birthday.”

As he finished speaking, he teared up a little. He always had family and friends with him on his birthday for the past few years. This was the first year he was alone, so I wondered if he felt lonely.

He took the cake from my hands and felt quite embarrassed. “You didn’t need to buy this. I’m all grown up now. You being here is the best birthday gift.

“Oh, you don’t like it? I’ll throw it away then.” I pretended to grab it back, but Pete immediately clutched the cake tightly.

“What’s wrong with you? You already bought it, so why throw it away? It’ll be such a waste!”

I pouted and shook my head at him dramatically. I said in a high–pitched voice, “Tsk tsk. I’m all grown up now, why buy this

The next second, his hand landed on my head as he messed up my carefully styled hair. He came to celebrate with me when it was my birthday, so how could I let him spend his birthday alone in an unfamiliar city?

It felt like I could always be childish around him, even on the street. Even if I playfully fought with him, it never felt out of place.

I slapped his back hard, but he did not dodge. Instead, he just car protected the cake in his arms. “Stop it! Don’t ruin the cake.”

Feeling touched, I had a smile on my face. “Let’s go eat! I made a special reservation at a restaurant, but it’s not a private booking. I hope you don’t mind!“–

Pete looked excited as he said, “You made a reservation for me? Are you treating me to dinner?”

I got in the car with him with a smug look. “You can praise me more later.”

“Why would I want to praise you?” He snorted.

As he spoke, he took out his phone and started filming a short video with the cake on his lap. He spoke with exaggerated seriousness.

“There’s not much exciting stuff today, just a little fangirl who flew over to bring me a cake. She even said she made a reservation at a restaurant to

treat me to dinner.

“Even though I have tried countless gourmet meals in my life, I couldn’t turn down a girl’s invitation. I’ll look forward to it just for her sake! Look! Isn’t the cake pretty?”

After filming, he watched it once before excitedly posting it on social media.

Watching Pete’s dramatic behavior, I could not help but laugh. He seemed more and more attractive. The more time I spent with him, the less annoying.

he seemed.

“Here.” I took out a gift box from my bag. It was a tie clip I had carefully chosen. He might need it if he had more business meetings in the future.
