?Chapter 254:


    His deration caught Cathy off guard, her expression turning stone-cold.


    “Yeah, I didn’t make a mistake.” From a distance, Marc looked confused. “Today is Miss Nelson’s birthday. I organized the birthday party exactly as Mr. Cox instructed… What did I do wrong?”


    The moment Marc dropped the bombshell, the venue was instantly filled withmotion.


    All eyes shifted to Belinda, and murmurs spread throughout the room.


    “I had no idea today was Belinda’s birthday… No wonder she’s here, dressed in red!”


    “Someone had quietly informed me that today was the day Mr. Cox was going to propose to Cathy. I even brought a present for them!”


    “The moment I saw the ‘Happy Birthday’ greetings at the entrance, I realized something wasn’t right. And sure enough…”


    “What Mr. Cox has done really speaks volumes about his kindness. Organizing a birthday banquet for Belinda, even after their divorce, is impressive.”


    “What I heard was that Mr. Cox nned the venue and cake for this birthday banquet over a month ago. They probably just decided to go ahead with it since it was already arranged before the divorce…”


    Although these remarks were made as quietly as possible, they were still clearly audible throughout the venue, which wasn’t veryrge. Cathy and Maggie both looked as though they might faint from shock at any moment.


    Wanting to protect Cathy’s vulnerable moment, reporters who were close to her quickly ended their live streams. However, a few uninvited reporters continued filming.


    Fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, Cathy turned toward Kristopher, who was standing beside her. With a hoarse, bitter voice, she forced the words through gritted teeth, “Kristopher… So, today is for celebrating Miss Nelson’s birthday, right?”


    How could this be happening?

    Today was supposed to be the day Kristopher proposed to her! After all, the day he arranged the venue and ordered the cake was the same day she first contacted him, telling him she would be returning to the country!


    Therefore, Cathy had naturallye to the conclusion that today was the day Kristopher intended to propose to her.


    Moreover, just two days ago, Kristopher had hurriedly divorced Belinda, which Cathy saw as a clear sign of his intention to propose to her today! But now…


    Furrowing his brows slightly, Kristopher nodded and said, “Yeah, I organized this birthday banquet for Belinda since I owe her one.” To him, he was fulfilling a promise he had made two years ago in front of Anthony.


    Just over a month ago, he had been telling Anthony about how much Belinda had cared for him on the ind, how much he wanted to thank her in a special way.


    Anthony had interrupted him mid-sentence and rebuked him for simply promising to organize a birthday banquet for Belinda two years ago, without ever attempting to fulfill it. Anthony had told him to stop talking about thanking Belinda if he wasn’t serious about it.<fn1c5a> Fresh chapters posted on f?ndnovel</fn1c5a>


    That was when Kristopher remembered his promise. On the spot, he decided to hold a birthday banquet for Belinda, making all the arrangements overnight after confirming when her next birthday would ur.
