With that thought, she stopped dwelling on it and returned to helping with the decorations.
Soon, Adam's birthday celebration officially began.
When Adam entered the room, everyone immediately began cheering. "Happy Birthday!"
Adam's eyes widened slightly. For a moment, he looked genuinely surprised.
His gaze slowly swept across the decorations, the smiling faces, and the carefully prepared feast.
Then his eyes landed on Mary. Mary was wearing an elegant dress that made her look exceptionally beautiful. Walking toward him, she gracefully extended her hand.
"Will you allow me to be your knight in shining armor tonight?"
The unexpected words immediately caused Adam to blush. A wide smile spread across his face. "Yes."
His voice softened. "I would love that."
Mary smiled. Then she took his hand. Together, they walked toward the birthday cake. Everyone watched with bright smiles.
Mary handed Adam a knife. Adam took a deep breath before cutting the cake.
