When Edith woke up, it was way past breakfast. Edith walked into the bathroom to clean up and put on a white, floral blouse and a pair of jeans.

As soon as Edith walked down the stairs, a small figure ran towards her, and soon, Hazel was hugging her tightly. The little girl looked up with a bright smile on her face. 

"Auntie Edith, happy birthday!"

Edith looked at the little girl who was dressed in a fluffy powder blue dress and she looked very much like a princess. If Edith's grandfather saw her, he would definitely call Hazel his little princess.

Crouching down, Edith then pulled Hazel into a hug.

"Auntie Edith, let's go and have breakfast first," Hazel said, pulling at her hands. "I made them myself."

Edith laughed and followed the little girl into the dining room. In the kitchen, Auntie Emma was busy preparing a few dishes for lunch. Neil had planned to invite a few of his friends and Edith's friends to come over for her birthday.

"Miss Qian," Auntie Emma greeted with a smile. "Happy birthday."

Edith touched the tip of her nose and thanked the elderly lady. "Auntie Emma, is there anything I can do to help?"

Auntie Emma quickly declined her offer. "Miss Qian, you should have your breakfast first. Little miss had prepared a special breakfast for you."

"Auntie Edith, come over here and sit down." Hazel pulled a chair and motioned her to sit down.

Edith walked over to Hazel and realized that something was missing. She looked around and noticed that her boyfriend was not around. Edith turned to Hazel and asked, "Where's your uncle?"

Hazel pulled out a plate and slid in some toast and scrambled eggs on the plate. "Uncle went out to get something. He said he would be back soon." She slid the plate on the table and looked at Edith. The smile on her face was as if she was looking forward to Edith's praising her and the food she prepared. 

Edith took a bite at the scrambled eggs and let out a soft hum. The eggs were soft, fluffy, and buttery. After learning some basic cooking with Edith, the little girl's cooking skills were getting better and she could cook a simple dish.

"It's delicious." Edith patted at Hazel's hair and pecked at her cheek. The little girl was so adorable and Edith could not help but plant a few more kisses on her cheek.

At this time, the doorbell rang. Edith set down the fork on the plate and stared at Hazel in puzzled. She was reminded that Neil had mentioned that he was going to invite their friends over and thought that it could be them. However, it was a little too early for them to show up at this time.

Edith told Hazel to sit still in the dining area and stood up to open the door. Edith peeked at the small screen and could not see anything. Whoever at the door had stood a little too close.

Thinking that the apartment had an excellent and that no unauthorized will be allowed to enter their level, Edith was more at ease. "Who is it?" Edith asked.

"We have a delivery for Miss Qian." The voice was a little familiar, yet strange. After ensuring that Hazel was seated far away, Edith swung the door open and a large bouquet of red roses appeared in front of her. For a few seconds, Edith was startled and she continued to stare at the roses blankly.

"Are you Miss Qian?" The person behind the bouquet spoke again. "You need to accept the bouquet."

The bouquet lowered a little bit and a Neil's smiling face appeared behind those roses. It was at this time that Edith figured out that her boyfriend had pressed at his voice and pretended to be a delivery guy.

A happy laugh escaped her and Edith took the bouquet from him. "Where should I sign?"

Neil smiled mischievously and pointed at his lips. "Just put your stamp here."

She narrowed her eyes at Neil and raised a hand to place a finger on his lips. "Done."

"That's not a valid stamp." Neil laughed. "Come on. Birthday girl, please kiss me."

Edith felt her cheek red and glanced at the dining area. At this time, Hazel had disappeared into the kitchen to accompany Auntie Emma. Once she figured that it was safe, Edith leaned forward to kiss Neil on his lips. However, because of the bouquet, the kiss had to end quickly and Neil could only stare back at the bouquet in dissatisfaction.

He had bought his girlfriend a pretty bouquet and was expecting a deep, feverish kiss in return. He was not expecting that the same bouquet would prevent him from getting the reward he wanted. However, that feeling quickly disappeared as Neil saw the happy smile on Edith's face.

"Do you like them?" Neil asked.

Edith stared at the large bouquet, lowered her head, and took a sniff. The smell of those roses was very fragrant and fresh. There were probably around hundred red roses in the bouquet. It was probably very expensive. 

This was the first time that she had received such a big and vibrant bouquet and Edith could not hide that she was feeling very happy at the moment. "I like it." 

Neil held on to her waist and pecked at her forehead. "Happy birthday."

She smiled shyly and walked into the kitchen to find a vase for the roses. As soon as Hazel and Auntie Emma saw the bouquet, the two could not help but praise the beautiful flowers. 

Hazel stared at the roses and turned to her uncle. "Uncle, I want a big bouquet too."

"Well then, when you find yourself a boyfriend, you can ask him to give you a big bouquet."

Edith watched the uncle and niece's exchange and chuckled. She walked over to Neil and poked him on the waist. "Are you sure you want your niece to find a boyfriend?" Her lips curled into a teasing smile. "President Mo, you couldn't bear to see your niece holding hands with another boy and you wanted your niece to find a boyfriend? Are you sure?"

Neil pondered over his words and suddenly, his face turned white.

Seeing the look on his face, Edith could only suppress her laugh. "Didn't you invited Lily to come over today?"

Neil thought about her question and suddenly realized a while later, Lily will arrive at their place along with her son, Alex. He was reminded of how that little boy would often hold hands with Hazel and Neil felt very uncomfortable. 

At this time, the doorbell rang again.. Edith walked over to the door and saw a few familiar faces appeared on the screen.
