Chapter 69. Quarrel

Brent did not expect Beverley to come to his office without telling him first. He quickly stood up from his chair. “Baby, why are you here?”

The package of cake in Beverley’s hand immediately drew his gaze. “What’s that?”

Beverley smiled sweetly. She did not answer immediately. Instead, she placed the cake on the table in front of the sofa and unwrapped it. “It’s your birthday, Brent. How could I not surprise you?”

She took out two candles with the number 3 and stuck them on the cake. Just as she was about to light them, Brent suddenly grabbed her hand firmly. She immediately turned her head. “Why?”

Brent looked at her deeply. His brow furrowed. “I’ve said it before, Beverley. I’m not interested in any celebrations.”

“It’s not a celebration, honey. It’s just a surprise between me and you,” Beverley said softly.

“But I don’t want it!” Brent suddenly became angry. He pulled out the candles and threw them on the floor. It instantly shattered.
