Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 978

A day before Shannon's birthday, the Jensen residence had gone all out with the decorations. Since it was her first birthday celebration as a Jensen, George and Adam particularly placed great importance on this occasion.

When Caleb woke up, he felt lethargic, as if he hadn't been exercising for months. But in reality… he had been exercising every week.

After pulling his hair in frustration, he dragged his feet to the bathroom, faced his unfamiliar self in the mirror, and bent over to wash his face.

He brushed his teeth, washed his face, and hastily wiped his face with his hands before heading downstairs. There, he ran into a maid cleaning the staircase and was met with a quizzical look. "You are?"

It wasn't Caleb's first time experiencing this anymore, and his annoyance grew, saying through gritted teeth, "Look at me again, and tell me who I am."

After taking a closer look, the maid finally regained her senses. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Caleb. It seems I was distracted earlier."

He ignored the maid, as he had long been accustomed to this situation in the last few days. After arriving downstairs, he asked, "When's Shannon coming home?"

Recently, he had been seeking other so-called mystic masters, hoping to resolve his problem. However, they either wanted to scam him or said they were helpless. As such, his only hope circled back to Shannon.

Meanwhile, Scott hadn't been the nicest to Caleb lately. At times, he even looked at him as if he were a stranger. "Shannon is busy. Even if she's home, she won't have time for you."

He would deliver the gift to her the night before her birthday, and even if she were cold-hearted, she would never give him the cold shoulder. A little coaxing would do the trick, he thought. He was sure he could manage that.

After dinner that night, Caleb brought out the birthday present in advance, adopted his best demeanor, and gently said, "It's your birthday tomorrow; I bet you'll be busy entertaining the guests tomorrow. So, I'm giving this to you in advance.

"I saw the custom-made gown Aunt Annalise made for you and think it'll go perfectly with this."

He presented the gift before the whole family, and Annalise had returned tonight specifically to help with the preparations for the birthday party. Seeing how he voluntarily showed goodwill to Shannon, she smiled and agreed.
