Genius Girl

Chapter 153 - 153: Real Birthday

When he looked at her, her heart pulverized. His messy hair and sweat on his face have made him look dazzling despite of the serious expression he has. She smiled awkwardly, hands on her side held onto the hems of her shirt.

"Its almost midnight Evan. What are you doing here?"

His face bore an exhaustion but his eyes were twinkling like an excited little boy.

"Nothing," then he picked up the cake with candles and rushed upstairs.

Daniella\'s lips twitched when she removed her wig. She breathed out when it was finally pulled and showed her white hair.

She\'s in her pajamas, mostly to hide all the after allergies rushes she has.

Soon, the door of the bedroom opened, she decided to leave the bathroom and check why Evan kept coming back and forth throughout the time she\'s in the toilet.

Her feet froze from stepping out of the bathroom to see a small wooden square table on the bed. A blue cake with candles on top designed in numbers two and four and two glasses of wine were placed opposite of each other.

Her lips formed a smile to see a piece of rose in the vase and a blue box with a blue ribbon above.

The room became quiet, when the clock ticked at midnight, Evan who was standing by the bed smiled at her.

"Happy birthday."

She bit her lips, utterly speechless.

"How did you know it\'s my birthday?" she asked. Her information has been changed by Kierry including her birthday, none of her friends knew it, while Robert and Sebastian decided not to celebrate it.

Evan lifted a shoulder in a shrug, "there was one time when I kissed you," his feet moved slowly towards her, "and I saw you and your brother looking at the calendar, counting days," he halted in front of her, cupped her cheeks with his palms to warm them up.

"And also, I saw the video in my study."

She chuckled and rolled her eyes, "so, you saw what I did there?"

He nodded, "did you really need to get close like that?" he asked casually, not a hint of jealousy was strained in his voice.

She nodded, then took a step back. Her hand swiftly removed her shirt showing all the rushes she had from her allergies.

"Yesterday, I needed to inject the concentrated sesame into my body so Roman Lee would think that I don\'t have allergies anymore," her eyes sparkled to see him staring at her, it\'s always been like this, he had never looked at her scar with disgust, his eyes were always sparkling as if he\'s enjoying the view.

"Now he knows that he can\'t no longer use it against me."

Stretching a hand to reach her arm, Evan gulped hard.

"That didn\'t answer my question."

"I am sick so I needed to be close to him so I can read him better."

After her short explanation, Evan nodded and pulled her closer.

"I understand now."

Her face was buried in his chest, she sniffed his scent, and it smelled soap mixed with sweat.

"I am sweaty," he chuckled and pulled her away, "After everyone left, I rushed to the city and buy your cake."

"You didn\'t have to get me one."

"Ahuh!" he rose a brow as he let out a light scoff, "I am your boyfriend Daniella, I know that deep inside, you just want me to let you go so you can jump on that cake."

Giggling like someone was tickling her, Daniella pulled away from his embrace and jumped onto the bed, she sat in front of the table and grabbed the fork on the side.

When the bed moved, she looked at her side where Evan has sat down.

She took a forkful of cake and turned to Evan, "open your mouth," she ordered with a smile.

"I don\'t like sweet," he replied. He had never liked sweet, but every time Daniella has one, she always force him to eat.

But instead of insisting, Daniella shrugged, "more for me," and shoved the fork in her mouth.

His eyebrow creased, "hey, you\'re supposed to force me."

"why? Do you want some?" she blinked her eyes repeatedly in confusion.

Evan cleared his throat, "well, I bought it."

"Fine, you can have the cake but I will get all the icing"

His eyes went narrowed, "that\'s unfair, it will just be sponge then," he complained.

"Aish!" she\'s about to lose her patience, "fine."

Evan chuckled, he took the blanket he placed on top of the pillow and covered Daniella\'s back, he moved and sat behind her, his hands wrapped around her waist while his chin lay on top of her head.

"what should we watch?" Daniella asked.

Evan stretched a hand to take the remote from the bedside table and turned on the television.

Meanwhile, Daniella felt at peace by the warm coming from Evan\'s body. It was one of the usual nights they have though she felt special today as it was her birthday.

She grabbed the gift box and removed the bow.

Her eyes squinted as she stared at the necklace inside. It was made of gold, a thin necklace with a daisy flower pendant.

She raised her chin to look at him.

"When did you make this?"

Before answering, Evan placed a quick kiss on her forehead, "last week. I really thought your birthday was next month, thankfully Bing has prepared the pendant earlier."

Hearing the name of the General, Daniella\'s head tilted.

"Bing? Does he sell jewelries now"

Soon, Evan\'s laugh filled the room, then he shook his head, "no, I asked him to install a tracker in the pendant so next time you leave and don\'t answer my call, I will know how to find you."

He picked up the necklace and put it on her, seeing the pendant reached her collar bone, Evan\'s face wrinkled.

"I think the necklace is too short."

With a flat face, Daniella said, "you think so? This looks like a collar necklace for a dog."

Then she smiled and moved her body to kiss him, "but I like it, thanks."

Seeing that Daniella didn\'t mind that the necklace was too short, Evan lifted a hand and patted her head like she\'s a good dog.

Daniella groaned, "ugh! I am not a dog."

Meanwhile, Camille\'s hand clenched into fists, she had heard everything, their sweetness irritated her but there was also confusion in mind, wondering why does she need to trick her father about her allergies.
