The lights in the villa's hall dimmed.
The guests no longer danced but waited quietly, surrounding the birthday star, Robert Griffith.
A faint light shone from the other end of the room, and Curtis personally brought out a nine-tier birthday cake, topped with a single birthday candle.
"Grandpa, happy birthday!" Edward Smith pushed the cake in front of him, smiling his wishes.
Hailey walked over to Robert, affectionately holding his arm and boasting, "Grandpa, do you know? Mom spent an entire day making this cake! And I took part in it too. I arranged the strawberries on the cake, one by one! Aren't they neat? Aren't they beautiful?"
"No wonder it looks a bit strange since you arranged it," Robert said with feigned toughness, though he was actually very happy.
"What? Where is it strange?!" Hailey grumbled.
At this moment, the music in the hall suddenly stopped, causing astonished gasps from the crowd.
Soon after, a pleasant harmonica melody began to play.
