Chapter 169 - Birthday Gift (1/2)

Adam and Stella walked towards their own private residency. Adam had an arm wrapped around her lower back while his coat rested on her shoulders.

”Thank you so much for everything baby girl.” He spoke up, breaking the silence between them. ”I actually thought that you had forgotten about my birthday.”

”How can I forget about your birthday?” Stella smacked him lightly on his chest as she pursed her lips in a pout.

”Alright, alright. I apologise sweetheart. That thought shouldn't have even crossed my mind.” Adam replied as he pinched her nose lovingly. ”I have the best girlfriend one could ask for.”

”Don't try to flatter me now.” Stella rolled her eyes at his remark as they entered their residence.

”I am gonna go and change now. You can use the other room.” Stella added as she moved away from his embrace and walked towards the main room, shutting the door close on her way in.

”But my clothes...” Adam's voice turned into a whisper when he realized that it was too late now and she probably couldn't hear him.

”Looks like I shouldn't have said what I did.” He muttered under his breath and went towards the minibar area to fetch a drink for himself. He needed to think of something to make it up to her.

”Ughhhhh! Everything was going fine and you have to speak up and ruin her mood.” He scolded himself as he took another sip of the fine wine.

Twenty minutes passed by and Stella didn't come out of her room, neither he heard the door being opened. He was now pacing before the door, pondering over whether he should knock or call out for her. He didn't want to piss her off.

Five minutes later, he finally decided to try the door. He took in a deep breath and tried to turn the knob. With one click, the door opened. Adam wanted to smack himself on his forehead. Why didn't he followed her inside when the door wasn't locked. 'But I did hear her locking the door.' He thought to himself as he stepped inside.

As soon as he entered the room, his eyes widened in shock. The entire room glowed with golden hue due to all the scented candles that were lit. Petals of red roses were scattered everywhere on the floor while a few roses were set in bunches around the corners with the candles.

He took a couple of steps forward and his eyes landed on the bed. Petals of red roses were arranged in the shape of a heart. A single card was placed in the center which he picked up. His movements were careful, as to not mess with the intricate arrangement.

He opened the card and saw a familiar handwriting.

'Look on your left for your gift.

xoxo.
