Chapter 9 birthday suprise (1)

At Moonlight Manor

"It's your fault...did you call him? Why didn't he come?" The beautiful girl, Jennie, asked with a furrowed brow, looking at the cute guy in front of her.a

"Baby, I did call him. You know how he's always focused on work, work, work," the cute guy replied, holding Jennie's hand affectionately.

"You're right," Jennie nodded, agreeing with her boyfriend, Fin.

"Don't worry, guys. We have our ultimate weapon," another girl chimed in. She was tall and beautiful, and her name was Aria.

"Ultimate weapon?" the handsome boy, Gabriel, asked curiously in his gentle voice.

"Oh, Aunt Sofia and Uncle James!" Aria exclaimed, as the couple entered the living room.

"Well, let's call Alexander. I can't believe he didn't want to celebrate his 26th birthday," Sofia snapped.

"Yeah," James nodded in agreement.

"Jennie, call Alexander," Jennie nodded and took out her phone, dialing Alexander's number.

Ring~ring~ring

Someone answered the phone.

"Hello, Miss Jennie," Alexander's special assistant greeted.

Sofia took the phone from Jennie's hands. "Pass the call to Alexander," she instructed.

"Yes, Mrs. Li," assistant calm voice came through the phone.

After a moment, a rustling sound was heard from the other side.

"Mom," a deep voice spoke.

"I'm busy," his voice sounded emotionless.

"I don't want to hear your excuses. Come to Moonlight Manor, or else we will forget we have a son named Alexander," Sofia said angrily before hanging up the phone.

"Let's prepare for his birthday," Sofia said with a smirk.

They didn't want to celebrate his party grandly, but only with family and close friends.

The car stopped at Moonlight Manor, and the driver climbed down from the car to open the back door.

A pair of long legs stepped out, dressed in suit pants.

Dressed in a sleek black suit with a matching tie, his wide shoulders and narrow waist emphasized his masculine physique. His eyes were deep whirlpools of black, his nose straight and perfectly shaped, and his thin lips exuded a mysterious charm framed by a hint of stubble. His neatly arranged hair accentuated his manly yet undeniably sexy appearance.

With his long legs, he walked quickly towards Moonlight Manor, followed closely by his special assistant.

Using his long fingers, he rang the doorbell, which was answered by the butler.

"Welcome back, sir," Butler Alfred spoke politely.

Alexander nodded his head, his face expressionless, but the aura he radiated made him even more charming.

"Assistant Gu," Alfred greeted Alexander's personal assistant, who also nodded in response.

Alexander walked into the hall, unsurprised when he saw the dark living room.

The moment he stepped into the hall, the lights came on beautifully, and the whole place was decorated nicely, with a birthday cake placed in the middle.

All his friends and parents were present, wearing birthday caps.

"Happy birthday, Alexander!" everyone shouted.

Finally, a small smile appeared on his previously expressionless face, which made everyone scream with joy.

"Mom," Alexander walked towards his parents. "Dad."

"Always be happy and blessed, Alex," they both spoke together, hugging him tightly.

After that, Alexander cut the cake, and everyone started dancing, eating, and wishing Alexander a happy birthday.

"Now, it's time for gifts!" Aria shouted excitedly.

As everyone began giving their gifts to Alexander, Sofia looked at him with anticipation. "Alex, your dad and I have prepared a surprise for you..."
