BXBX NOVEL Chapter 323 Surprise!
All the eyes of all people present widened in surprise. They looked at the birthday cake that had appeared in front of them. It was no different from a masterpiece work.
The birthday cake was in a form of a lady, wearing a battle armor, holding a sword, pointing it to the sky. Even though it was just a cake, the people present couldn\'t help but think that this was actually a person.
Had it not been for the fact that the colors of the sculpture was not like that of a human, but cream, they would have thought that it was a person who was standing there.
"This should actually be the king of all cakes present in the world!"
"What do you mean by a king? This is obviously a queen! Don\'t you see the lady there? Just the heroic spirit is enough to make me fall in love."
"Get lost, will you? You want to fall in love when the cake was not prepared for you?"
"Hehehe, I was just joking."
"Who prepared such a cake?"
"What a masterpiece."
"After the party is over, I will definitely go and look for the person who prepared this cake. I want it for my next event."
Celine\'s breathing staggered. She looked at the figure that had been created from the cake. And immediately, she could tell that it was herself.
The happiness in her heart increased by several folds. Currently, she had completely fallen in love. She could be considered an idiot in love. But, she undoubtedly didn\'t mind if the target of her love was Jack.
Jack, on the other hand, was calm. He was quite satisfied when he saw that Celine\'s expression was vibrant. He had after all put in significant effort to prepare all of these.
After the candles that had been lit around Celine\'s sculpture were blown off by the birthday girl, she began cutting the cake. But because of her love for the sculpture, she simply cut the sidecakes. She was intending to preserve this birthday cake, even though she knew that it was impossible.
After taking the first piece, she turned around and faced Jack. With a smile on her face, she extended the fork and fed him the cake.
Thereafter, Jack repeated the same thing. Celine then went ahead and began feeding her parents and friends. After that, she fed a few more people who were close to her and Jack.
As for the rest, they were asked to pick the pieces of cake from the plates that were distributed by Celine herself.
With that finally out of the way, it was time for them to deal with the dishes. They had already been eyeing these dishes for a long while now.
Had it not been for the fact that their attention was caught by Jack and Celine\'s appearance, as well as the masterpiece of a cake, they would have continued swallowing their saliva as they observed the food.
None of them cared about what others thought about them, as they indulged themselves in a sumptuous buffet, savoring the delectable culinary delights that Jack had personally selected.
He had come over the day before, and had utilized his professional chef skills to prepare the food. Of course, he didn\'t prepare it alone. Instead, he did this with the assistance of the hotel\'s chefs.
Had the other people known about the fact that these chefs, who were always proud of themselves, were actually willing to work as assistants, their jaws would definitely hit the floor.
All the same, the chefs were both willing to do that. After all, they had never seen a person who was so skilled when it came to cooking. So, they decided to take that time as a learning experience.
Of course, Jack\'s real intention for doing that was that he was planning to make sure that the hotel went bankrupt. For that reason, he was going to start by stealing the chefs.
From savory appetizers to delectable entrées and exquisite desserts, every morsel was a testament to Jack\'s love for Celine. He had made sure to select several dishes that she loved.
As the night progressed, laughter and vibrant conversations filled the air, creating an atmosphere of happiness and love. After that was, sharing stories and memories, while the joyful ambiance served as a testament to the enduring bonds between loved ones.
After they had all eaten to their content, it was finally time for them to give gifts. One by one, they began offering the gifts that they had prepared beforehand.
Celine, whose night had already been made, received all of them with a bright smile on her face. This time, she was cheerful, in that, those that had always taken her for an ice queen couldn\'t help but be entranced.
At the same time, they couldn\'t help but wonder if the lady in front of them was actually the ice queen that they were used to, or a replacement. After all, they were not used to this side of Celine.
But Wendy and Angy looked on with a hint of jealousy. But all the same, they were extremely pleased that their sister\'s boyfriend was so good to her.
Since they had grown up together, all that they wished for was for their sister to be happy. And seeing that Celine was so happy at the moment, they got satisfied in their hearts.
Jonathan, of course, saw this. He couldn\'t help but look at Jack with a hint of resentment in his eyes. \'What the heck? I just hope that my girlfriend doesn\'t confuse me for Jack. And, she should neither try comparing the two of us.\' Jonathan thought to himself as he looked at Wendy, who was beside him.
The relationship between the two of them was progressing all too well. Even though there was a period of confusion, where even when she got herself engaged to Jack, that was just a prelude to their love.
The two of them loved each other deeply. For that reason, they had always spent their time together, trying to make up for the time that they had been away from each other.
At this moment, Jack finally took out a small necklace box that was placed inside his coat\'s inner pocket.
When she saw that, Celine\'s eyes lit up with expectation. But at the same time, she couldn\'t help but feel a hint of disappointment, as she was expecting something else.
As Jack opened the necklace box, he took out a necklace. The appearance of the necklace immediately made all the people attending the party to gasp in surprise.
The necklace was a striking testament to love, a delicate adornment that held profound meaning. Suspended from a dainty chain, a pendant dangled gracefully as it was held in Jack\'s hand, catching the light and illuminating the surrounding air.
The centerpiece of the necklace was a ruby colored, heart-shaped pendant, meticulously crafted with intricate details that exuded an air of elegance.
The smooth, polished surface reflected a gentle glow, reminiscent of the warmth and tenderness associated with love. The contours of the heart were flawlessly curved, suggesting a sense of gentility and compassion.
Adding to its allure, the pendant was embellished with shimmering gemstones, delicately hugging the edges of the heart-shaped outline. Each stone, carefully chosen for its brilliance, captured the essence of love in its own unique way.
The appearance of the necklace couldn\'t help but make Celine feel her heartbeat beginning to race. She stared at it, making sure that she had seen all the details of the necklace.
Perhaps it was the mesmerizing sparkle of diamonds, symbolizing eternal commitment, or the vibrant hues of amethyst, representing deep affection and tranquility. Whatever the stones may be, their harmonious arrangement enhanced the charm and sentimentality of the necklace.
Nestled within the heart-shaped pendant was a single, meticulously etched word – "Love." The engraving, finely etched into the surface, served as a constant reminder of the powerful emotion it represented.
The word radiated positivity, reminding Celine of the joy, warmth, and connection that love brings to her life. It was a simple yet profound symbol that captured the very essence of her experiences and aspirations.
"This is a token of my love to you. Please, accept it." Jack looked at Celine as he said these words. There was sincerity in his voice as his book these love-filled words.
Celine smiled even more brightly, as she turned around, to allow Jack to put the necklace around her neck. Using her hand, she pulled away the hair, exposing her fair neck.
Jack took a step forward, and undid the clasp, before he went ahead and placed the necklace around her neck.
As Celine wore this necklace, it became more than just an accessory. It transformed into a cherished keepsake, a tangible expression of her deepest emotions and values.
This time, she had already forgotten about the sculpture that was made from the cake, and instead, focused on the necklace. If she ever had a doubt before, then all doubts had been cleared on this day. Her love for Jack had reached a new level.
As she turned around to show how the necklace looked on her to Jack, suddenly, the entire place fell silent. Confused, Celine could only hurriedly turn around to face Jack.
What she saw made her close her mouth in both surprise and excitement.
At this moment, Jack was down on his knees, and in his hands, there was a velvet ring box. Inside it, there was a simple yet complex ring.
Suddenly, William ran over from somewhere, with a microphone in his hand. Without any delay, he placed it before Jack\'s mouth.
Jack could only shake his head at that. But still, he appreciated the gesture. He looked directly into Celine\'s eyes and stated, "Celine, the two of us grew up together, before we parted ways. But as fate could have it, we met once again."
"Love had already been born between the two of us. Even though some things that cannot be explained happened, the love between the two of us still existed. I have loved you all this while, and I will continue loving you."
"To prove that I am serious about the relationship between the two of us, I have come forward with a decision. Celine, will you marry me?" Jack stated all these words one after the other, at a slow pace.
A gasp escaped from Celine\'s lips as she looked at the man of her dreams, holding a small box in his hand containing a shimmering engagement ring.
A commotion suddenly erupted in the room. Those who had attended didn\'t even wait for Celine to reply. Instead, they began shouting.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
How could Celine resist this? And just as she was about to reply, she suddenly saw a microphone appearing in front of her. This microphone was being held by Wendy. Wendy smiled at her as she gave her a nod.
"Yes! I will marry you, Jack!" Celine replied.
Jack smiled as he immediately slid the ring into her ring finger. And thereafter, he got to his feet and hugged her.
The Soaring Eagle hotel became a place of jubilation, as cheers, laughter, and tears of joy filled the air. In this beautifully orchestrated celebration of love, Celine\'s birthday party transformed into an unforgettable moment that would forever be etched in their hearts.
Surrounded by their cherished loved ones, Jack and Celine embraced their future together as their journey of love and companionship officially began.
