Nicole immediately turned around after hearing a familiar voice.

Then, she saw Samuel's face.

"Samuel?!" Nicole had no idea what was going on.

Then, she saw everyone else coming out of the dark.

Gloria was pushing a cart with a cake on it while her family, as well as Jared surrounded her.

Then, in unison, they all said to her, "Happy Birthday, Nicole." Nicole paused and released Samuel's hand.

"What..." Samuel could not help but roast Nicole after seeing her reaction.

" Yeah. It's your birthday today, and we wanted to give youa surprise..." Samuel did not expect that Nicole would attempt to break his wrist.

Nicole immediately looked at Samuel apologetically.

''Samuel, I'm so sorry..." She only did that to him because it was so dark, and because he had abruptly tapped on her shoulder.

Gloria had already pushed the cart out in front of Nicole by then.

Gloria looked at Nicole with her gentle gaze, and under the illumination of the candles, she said, "Nicole, you've been away from home for so many years, and Mrs. Wallace Sr.

said that you didn't even know your exact birthday.

I've been waiting for this day to come.

I can finally celebrate your birthday with you.

I really want to say this to you in person.

Happy Birthday, my dear daughter." Nicole's heart melted upon hearing Gloria's warm words.

She did not expect her parents to remember her birthday at all.

She had returned to them for so long, but none of them had ever asked her about her birthday.

However, it was something that they had never forgotten.

Mrs. Wallace Sr., who was standing at the side, wiped her tears away.

She looked at Nicole with much emotion and tenderly, she said, " Silly girl, go ahead and blow the candles.

What are you waiting for? Mrs. Wallace Sr.

was not very rich, and she could never provide Nicole with a proper birthday celebration back in her home.

However, Nicole was very sensible, and she would never talk about it.

Fortunately, Nicole could finally return to her family and spend her birthday with them...

Nicole wanted to step forward, but she actually felt hesitant to blow the candle off as she looked at the shimmering flames.

She wanted to have a birthday celebration very badly when she was younger, but her foster parents never really cared about her.

Then, she ditched that childish idea after she joined the organization.

However, everyone in her family was there to celebrate her birthday with her.

She suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

Strangely enough, she did not feel like blowing the candle off, and wanted to look at it for a while longer.

Jared went up to her as he noticed how touched she was.

"We'll show you your birthday gift now if you don't feel like blowing the candles off just yet." Nicole nodded unwittingly, and she finally realized why Jared had agreed to stay behind without a hint of hesitation.

She figured that he had probably planned this with Gloria beforehand, for he had even prepared a gift for her...

'How considerate of him.' Jared smiled faintly and took a box out before slowly opening it in front of Nicole.

Jared's red velvet box caught everyone's attention.

He opened the box under the astonished glances of everyone, and a ray of sparkling light came out of the box.

The sapphire shone under the illumination of the candlelight, and everybody found out that it was a necklace; a necklace with the one and only sapphire of its kind in the world! Nicole's expression

changed as soon as she saw the necklace.

Then, she gave Jared a look of approval.

"How generous of you, Mr. Johnston.

You actually managed to get the one and only Ocean Heart...

" "Ocean Heart?" Nicole's brothers were shocked.

Somebody once said that it was the most expensive necklace in the world.

The sapphire was the purest of its class, and it was paired with the finest craftsmanship of a world- renowned designer.

That necklace was the only one in the world, and it cost a fortune...

None of them was expecting to see it on such a casual occasion, and for Jared to gift it to Nicole in such a casual way either.

Of course, Nicole had heard about Ocean Heart too.

It had been stolen a few times throughout the years before it finally became a part of the collection of a very famous antiquarian.

'The price of this thing.

It's actually priceless.

There's no way the collector would sell it...

How did Jared manage to get his hands on it? “What's wrong? You don't like it?" Jared smiled and asked after seeing how Nicole was just standing there, looking at it.

"It's not that.

I just couldn't believe that I've received such an expensive gift on my birthday." Indeed, Nicole truly felt that way.
