Chapter 96: Surprise (2)

Lights in the room suddenly turned on, flooding the space with a sudden, bright luminosity. Surprise overtook me immediately, as I hadn't expected such a spectacular welcome. My heart raced as I tried to comprehend what was happening. Then, from a corner of the room, Ema emerged running, her dress trailing behind her. In her eyes, only overflowing joy was reflected, lighting up her entire face. Adorable dimples formed on her flushed cheeks from excitement.

Ema wore a red dress that accentuated her natural beauty, paired with a black blouse that further enhanced her unique style. Her hair was tied up in two playful and charming pigtails. When she stopped in front of me, her excitement was palpable in the air; I could almost feel her vibrant energy. She opened her mouth in a radiant smile, hands outstretched towards me in a welcoming gesture that filled the atmosphere with warmth and affection.

"Surprise!" she exclaimed with excitement.
