Chapter 145

“Mommy, I'm eager.” 

I laugh, fixing my lipstick through my car mirror. It's still good, and it will stay good because Caelum is nowhere in sight today. “Okay big girl, all done.” I tell her.

Everleah opens the car door and helps Layla out of the car too. Today is her birthday, my baby is three years old and I can't believe it, time has been swift. 

The moment Layla's feet hit the ground, she gushes at the venue. Everleah gushes too, sharing Layla's enthusiasm despite their age difference and I get the hype, the plaza hotel is a castle in it's own right. I slip out of the car, and blindfold Layla, she insists on seeing the color of the blindfold beforehand to make sure it's if her liking and thank God I had a blue one. Everleah takes her hand and I take her other hand, and we both lead her to the back of the plaza where her party is being held. I had texted Olivia we had arrived and gave them a fee minutes to get everyone quiet and ready for Layla's entrance.&nb
