Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 281

All Zack did was pull out his phone as quickly as he could. "Let me take some pictures first to commemorate this."

He was undoubtedly bold beyond measure. But then again, as Angela's younger brother and Dexter's brother-in-law, he had every reason to be.

"Don't just stand there like fools! It's his birthday today—he won't come after us for this. If we don't take pictures now, we'll regret it later!" Zack had already snapped over a dozen shots and was still unsatisfied, so he urged everyone else to join in.

Everyone quickly took out their phones and started taking photos and videos.

Right now, the unfortunate Dexter and Angela were at a loss for words.

Seriously? They were already in a miserable state, and now they were being laughed at, too?

"Zack, you little punk! Just you wait!" Angela, supported by Dexter, struggled to stand up. She grabbed a massive lump of frosting and hurled it at Zack.

As Zack couldn't dodge in time, he took it straight to the face. His once-handsome face now looked like a big marshmallow, making him appear ridiculous.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Angela didn't stop there. After throwing one handful, she grabbed another. Soon, everyone was covered in cake.

Since the cake was already ruined, they might as well make full use of it.

Amid the mayhem, Dexter sighed helplessly, retreating silently to a corner.

He was, after all, the CEO of Bamford Co. If anyone saw such ridiculous photos of him, who knew if the company's stock would take a hit?

He let out another helpless sigh as he slowly wiped the frosting off his neck. The overwhelmingly sweet scent was driving him crazy.

"Why aren't you joining in? You don't want to?" Angela, her face completely covered in colorful frosting, ran over and casually smeared the frosting that was on his clothes onto the side of his face.

She looked absolutely hilarious—her face was a mix of colors and completely unrecognizable, but her eyes shone especially brightly.

To be honest, Angela thought that he was ridiculously handsome. His face needed no embellishment—it was naturally striking.

The group played around for more than half an hour. Angela laughed so much her stomach hurt before she finally pulled Dexter aside to wash up and change.

As the warm water cascaded down, Angela's wildly beating heart gradually calmed.

She had been completely reckless just now, but it was worth it. At least she had finally seen him smile.

Dexter had everything. Despite lacking nothing, he always wore a serious face. Even when he did smile, it was rarely heartfelt. Angela had always been aware of that.

Suddenly, she felt a bit helpless.

She had done this before. In the past, she had gone to great lengths, throwing parties with his friends and putting on a carefree act, just to make him happy.
