Chapter 2289
Nicole kept handing out cake slices.
When it came to Roscoe’s turn, Doreen intercepted and snatched it from Nicole’s hands, asking, “Roscoe, see if it’s any good?”
It was likely the Watts family who arranged this cake.
Roscoe stayed silent but accepted the cake.
He didn’t want to embarrass Doreen in front of everyone.
He’d address it later with Miguel, no matter how he felt about it now.
Doreen was delighted.
As Nicole handed out cake to Doreen’s friends, Doreen exchanged glances with them, and they caught on instantly.
Once Nicole finished serving, Doreen’s friends launched a cake assault, smearing it all over Nicole’s face.
“Hey, watch it.
”
Everyone assumed it was all part of the birthday fun.
But then, Doreen’s friends took it too far, relentlessly smearing cake on Nicole’s face, making it hard for her to breathe.
“Hey, ease up, guys! This is how a birthday celebration runs!”
Doreen’s friends smeared the leftover cake all over Nicole, leaving her looking disheveled, with cake plastered on her face and hair, resembling a clown.
Roscoe frowned, displeased, about to speak up when Doreen let out a surprised cry.
“Oh my gosh!”
To everyone’s astonishment, Doreen pulled a ring from her mouth.
The diamond sparkled.
“Roscoe, this is the surprise you planned!” Overjoyed, Doreen hugged Roscoe tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Oh, Roscoe, you’re amazing!”
The ring, also set up by the Watts family, caught Roscoe off guard.
When he spotted the sparkling gem, he instinctively glanced at Nicole.
Despite the cake coating, Nicole’s eyes seemed to hold a hint of sorrow.
It was as if a string in Roscoe’s heart had snapped.
He felt like he was on the brink of recalling something he’d long forgotten.
What was it…
“Wow! It’s no surprise we’re all here to see this.
Roscoe’s really considerate,” Vicki added.
Doreen was ecstatic, paying no mind to Roscoe’s shocked look.
She slipped the ring onto her finger and embraced Roscoe once more, brimming with emotion.
Vicki wiped her tears and said to Jarrod, “Doreen’s happiness is contagious.
I’m genuinely happy for her.
”
Jarrod stayed silent, eyeing Nicole.
He noticed every detail, even the way she squeezed her hand.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He almost scoffed inwardly.
Nicole never begged him over Austin’s custody, seemingly indifferent to her own son.
Yet, here she was, so invested in Roscoe.
It was absurd!
Since things were heading this way, Jarrod decided to push it further.
He clapped his hands, rose to his feet, and announced, “Roscoe, I’ve just learned that your family wants to advance the wedding to just ten days from now.
Congratulations.
I’ll organize the best team for a lavish wedding ceremony!”
It all happened so quickly and unexpectedly.
Roscoe was in shock, feeling like his heart was being torn apart.
He felt like he knew it was all wrong, but couldn’t protest.
It was like being trapped by an invisible force, unable to break free, yet unwilling to surrender.
