Chapter 246:
Rayden replied, “Your so-called secret moves don’t sound reliable p>
Nora burst out laughing in a voice message. “Honestly, Kailey won’t care about flashy tricks. What matters is whether you’re sincere p>
Lambert immediately asked, “Define sincere p>
“You wouldn’t get it,” Nora retorted. “You’re a serial playboy p>
Lambert went silent after that.
“Friendly advice to everyone here,” Nora added. “Don’t overdo it. If you try too hard, you’ll regret it.” As the only woman in the group, her opinion usually ended the debate.
Kyson stared at the screen for a while, then finally typed a reply. “My girl deserves romance. She deserves something grand. And she deserves to feel cared for p>

Within seconds, his screen was flooded with responses. Lambert replied, “Alright, alright. We get it. You’ve already won her over p>
Kyson let out a quiet laugh and ignored everything else that followed.
By then, Kailey had finished eating. She wiped her mouth and looked up — only to catch the soft, warm expression on his face.
For a brief moment, she forgot what she was about to do. Then he lifted his eyes and met hers. “I’m done. Should I call the waiter to bring the cake p>
Kyson leaned back slightly, his expression relaxed, yet his eyes never left her. “Of course. You went through the trouble of preparing it. I’ve been waiting p>
There was something almost wounded in his tone, but she didn’t dwell on it. This was the moment.
Her heartbeat picked up. She pressed the service bell, and footsteps sounded shortly after.
The waiter appeared at the door with a polite smile, his eyes moving between them. “Miss Evans, would you like me to bring in the cake now p>
“Yes,” she replied.
Less than two minutes later, a covered cart was rolled into the room. The waiter stopped beside Kyson and lifted the cover.
A finely made cake was revealed — cream flowers arranged with care, elegant and restrained.
Kailey rubbed her palms together and stood up. “You’ll be twenty-six. And everything will turn out just fine.” She took the candle from the box and asked the waiter for a lighter. The flame reflected in her eyes as she leaned closer, then held the cake toward Kyson. “Blow it out and make a wish p>
Kyson held her gaze, his eyes dark and unwavering. His voice dropped to near a whisper. “There’s no need. I only have one wish, and it’s already happening p>
Their eyes stayed locked. The pull in his gaze wrapped around her, leaving her flustered and unable to look away. She drew in a steady breath and lifted the cake a little higher. “Then let’s make it official. Blow out the candle p>
A quiet laugh escaped Kyson as he lowered his eyes to the small flame. Two seconds later, it was gone.
Her smile broke wide — bright and unguarded, a faint dimple appearing at the corner of her mouth. “Kyson, happy birthday p>
He answered just as softly, “I hope every day treats you well p>
