BXBX NOVEL Chapter 294 Acquaintances
""SURPRIISEE!""
It was true that Jack had noticed that there were people inside the private room. But, he wasn\'t able to tell what they were doing inside there.
But still, he was greatly surprised by what he saw inside the private room. This was completely out of his expectations as this was something that he had forgotten about ever since his mother passed away.
Inside this private room, there were some of the people that Jack had already made an acquaintance with, as well as those that he was already well familiar with.
William and the troop from Inchoate city was surprisingly present. And that was not all. There was his aunt Anita and her husband Gregory, his cousin Johnathan, Katelyn and her husband, Wendy and even Angy.
But, what had surprised Jack the most was the fact that, Denali was also here. Before he headed for the entertainment company, she had requested to be free for the day and Jack had granted her the permission.
He had initially thought that she was going to use that chance to go back to her own home. It had already been a while ever since she came over and had been working for him.
Although she could communicate with her family, sometimes, it was better if they could meet in person.
But what was he seeing? She was here instead of being where he had expected her to be at.
Still, Jack looked at the words that were written all over the private room in a daze.
\'Happy Birthday To You Jack.\' One of the writings said that. This was something that Jack had almost forgotten about, his birthday.
Ever since his mother passed away, that was the time that Jack completely came to forget about this issue. To him, it didn\'t matter whether it was his birthday or not.
At the end of the day, age was just a number to him at that time. Previously, although he wasn\'t liked back at the Alfonso mansion, he always held a small party with his mother to celebrate his birthday party.
But, ever since she passed away, and having nobody that cared about 5hat, he too threw that out of his mind as he was distressed about what he was going to do after he left the Alfonso family.
Now, Jack was wondering how Celine had come to think of something like that. He himself had already been preparing to give her a surprise during her birthday. But in the end, she was the one that had beat him to it?
What Jack didn\'t know was that, ever since Celine\'s memories were unsealed, she had finally gotten the information about Jack that she was missing.
During the times that the two of them had been spending together when they were young, they had engaged in birthday parties of each other several times already.
As a result, Celine already knew about the day that Jack\'s birthday was. So, she had began the preparations the following day after she had regained her memories.
She had done her investigation and found all those that Jack had a good relationship with. After that, she invited them over so that they could celebrate the occasion alongside Jack.
This was something that she had decided to do so that Jack would know that he wasn\'t alone. Although his mother was gone, that didn\'t mean that he was supposed to be cold to the others.
He had to be cheerful. She didn\'t want to see him losing the cheerfulness that he had always been with during his childhood. That was something that Celine had greatly loved about that Jack who was young and carefree.
To remind him of all of that, she had decided that she was going to invite all those that shared a good relationship with him.
But of course, she didn\'t just invite anyone. She specifically chose those that Jack had interacted with before and they treated him well in return.
That was the reason as to why George, William and the others from inchoate city were here. As for Johnathan and the others, those were the ones that Jack shared a deep relationship with.
Celine came into the room with a smile blossoming on her face. She was happy to at least see the stunned expression on Jack\'s face. This was something rare to see.
"What do you think about the surprise that we have organized for you?" She questioned as she held Jack\'s left hand and pulled him completely into the room.
Jack was silent for a while. The surprise had thrown him back to the memories that he had about the time that he had been celebrating his birthday.
Back then, although he and his mother were oppressed at the Alfonso mansion, at least, during that time, he could see that there was a genuine smile on his mother\'s face.
Just thinking about that bright smile on his mother\'s face, Jack\'s mood was completely elevated. He looked at Celine gratefully and said, "Thank you so much for doing this."
At the same time, he looked at all those that were present in the room and expressed his gratitude to them.
Although it was true that some of them were here just because they had been invited, there was still a fact that, they had come over since this was a matter that was related to him.
This was something that Jack appreciated. He was always cold towards those that were against him, but was warm towards those that were with him.
Since these people were here because they wanted to celebrate his 20th year with him, then Jack decided that, if there was a time that they needed his help, he would surely grant them without holding back.
"There\'s no need for you to thank me. As your wife to be, this is something that I will always do even if I\'m taken back in time." Celine was happy to see the genuine smile that was on Jack\'s face.
If she remembered well, the first time that the two of them met with lost memories, his smiles had always been on the surface.
Although it was true that he had somehow been trying to be genuine when it came to her, it was still visible to her that he was still restricted.
But here, right now, the smile that was on Jack\'s face at that moment was the same smile as the one that he had always shown to her during the times that they were together back then.
That\'s right! At this moment, the coldness that was covering Jack\'s heart had been completed melted due to the arrangements that Celine had made.
Although it was true that his personality remained, the same couldn\'t be said about the way that he treated things. His enemies would always be treated harshly. But for his friends, the treatment that they were going to receive from. Jack was definitely bound to improve a notch after today.
The group then sat down. They still had to do some other things like cutting the cake and so on.
But, since the private room wasn\'t spacious, Celine had already made arrangements on what they were going to do next.
She had already organized for the initial chatting to take place here. And when evening came, they would find another location.
As such, the group chatted and laughed with each other. Those that didn\'t know each other and were meeting for the first time got to know each other.
Apart from that, the group also indulged in limited eating and drinking, saving enough space in their bellies for later on.
William and the others that came from Inchoate city approached Jack at that time and caught up with him. To say the least, they were still surprised about Jack\'s abilities and the way that he had handled the Dante family back in Inchoate city.
Still, they were not going to let Jack go simply because he was more powerful than they had expected. In fact, they found that this was their chance of playing with someone of Jack\'s caliber without any retribution.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Jack, I can\'t believe that you actually managed to get Celine to be your girlfriend." William spoke in an exaggerated manner as he looked at Jack.
"What are you saying? Didn\'t you hear her saying that she is his wife to be? I just wonder what type of medication Jack fed her." Anderson chimed in with a smile on his face. But to say the truth, he too was surprised that Jack and Celine shared such a deep relationship.
"It\'s obviously his charm, what else? Just know that you guys are not as charming as him. So, there\'s no need for you to be jealous of him." Kelly stated calmly.
To say the least, she was currently jealous of Celine. But still, there was nothing that she could do. She knew that she had no chance in front of Celine.
Furthermore, it wasn\'t that she had fallen head over heels for Jack. It was just that, she was wondering where she would get a person as good as Jack.
"Hehe, that\'s right. I\'m the one that comes second after Jack. So, why don\'t you agree being mine instead of being secretly jealous?" Benjamin, the burly guy in the group chuckled as he suggested.
Although he was burly, that didn\'t mean that he was brainless. In fact, he was smart to be able to easily detect that there was jealousy in Kelly\'s voice.
"Bah, even I\'m not as shameless as you. I\'m obviously more handsome than you. How can you claim that you are coming second?" Ismael couldn\'t take it anymore and interjected.
"I\'m wondering why you are fighting for the second position when the range from the first to the second position is unimaginable." William stated with squinted eyes.
