The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 868

Birthdays were super important for these kids.

If they could have a cake on their birthday, they'd be over the moon.

Noah looked at the cake in his hands.

Today wasn't his birthday

, but a day when he hit rock bottom.

"Uncle, you should eat it, you'll feel much better after eating Paige's cake!" Britney's shy voice brought him back to reality.

"How do you know I'm unhappy?" Noah asked, his tone much gentler.

Britney was still shy.

She was too young and due to her living environment, s

he wasn't as articulate as Ivy.

"Your eyes are red, just like when I miss my mom and dad," she whispered.

Noah looked at her, silent for a moment,

then sat down

taking a bite of the cake.

The cheap cake tasted extra sweet and greasy in his mouth,

but Noah finished it bite by bite.

Britney and her brother stared wide-eyed,

and only after Noah finished, her brother grumbled, "You didn't even ask if my sister wanted any."

He know,

that since the cake was bought, his sister had been drooling over it.

He taught his sister to hold back, that even if their uncle offered it to her, she should refuse.

His teaching was all for naught.

With the cake gone,

Noah looked at the scattered stars in the night sky

and then at the two kids.
