"Mommy, Daddy Q has been busy all night. Do you know what he's doing?" Abigail asked Renee in a soft and gentle voice.
The corners of Renee's eyes were slightly red, and she asked hoarsely, "What was he busy with?"
"You'll find out if you come with us!" Abigail said mysteriously. She led Renee to the observation deck on the second floor of the shop.
The observation deck was built by the seaside at the junction of the three countries, and the view up there was breathtaking.
"Abby, why did you bring me here?" Renee asked in confusion as she looked up at the stars in the sky.
Abigail smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you know what day it is, Mommy?"
"Huh? The day? Uh... the weekend?" Renee answered with a puzzled look on her face.
"It's the ninth of August, which is your birthday, silly Mommy!" Abigail said sweetly.
"Today... is the ninth of August?" Renee suddenly realized.
Today was her birthday!
"Look behind you, Mommy!"
Renee turned, following Abigail's finger, seeing Chase pushing a three-layer cake towards her.
The beautiful cake had been meticulously crafted in the shape of a little lion, and captivating and romantic sparklers had been lit on it.
"Wow! That's absolutely stunning! Daddy Q set off these fireworks for Mommy! How romantic!" Abigail exclaimed in a high-pitched voice as she jumped up and down while looking at the brightly lit sky.
On the other hand, Aiden acted like a mature adult and simply gave Mr. Q a thumbs up.
All in all, it seemed Mr. Q was quite a decent man. He set off fireworks because he knew Renee loved a romantic atmosphere. For this level of insight, Aiden would give him another ten points!
"It's beautiful!"
Renee's bright eyes were filled with a radiant glow as the clusters of fireworks reflected in them, completely immersed in the romantic atmosphere.
She didn't notice Mr. Q slowly approaching her before whispering in her ear, "Are you ready to accept my punishment?"
