The next day
It was 8:00 am when Summer woke up. The quilt beside her was cold, which meant Mark had been away for quite a while.
She got out of bed and came into the living room, where Yvette and Raine were busy with something.
There were many birthday presents delivered to the Valentine mansion, and they kept coming. There was no telling what was inside those boxes. But by the looks of the beautiful packaging, these presents were all expensive.
Summer quickly walked over to offer to help. Yvette asked, "Have you discussed with Mark last night on how to celebrate his birthday?"
Raine’s hands suddenly paused as she listened in to their conversation.
"I did not discuss it with him because I was thinking o f giving him a surprise. After all, it is his birthday. He said he will be available after seven in the evening. So I want to discuss with you and Aunt about the plan," Summer said.
At first, she was thinking of creating an element of surprise. But judging by the number of presents
received, it was difficult to create one.
With so many presents sent to the Valentine mansion, some people must have also delivered presents to his office.
Yvette turned around to look at Raine. "What do you have in mind?"
"I have no idea right now. I will leave it to you." Raine still had that demure and discreet look on her face.
"Since this is the case, I will decide, then. At first, I thought about hosting a banquet in a hotel, but Grudin North has just experienced an earthquake, and your brother is the governor there. Organizing an extravagant party right now will only hurt his reputation. Besides, Mark likes it quiet and low profile. So I will book a table of his favorite dishes in the restaurant of a hotel. What do you think?"
Since there was no objection from the two of them, it was decided so.
