Chapter 103 

“Wow… it’s beautiful,” Caroline said, admiring the stunning piece 

[I like it too.] 

“Excuse me, how much is it?” Caroline asked, clearly interested in the necklace. 

“Sorry, miss, but it’s not for sale.” 

“What… um, then why are you showing it to us?” Caroline was confused, thinking the salesperson was mocking them 

Deborah smiled at her friend’s reaction and then tried to get her attention. [Carrie, he means you don’t need to know the price because it’s already yours.] 

“What?” 

“That’s right. Happy birthday, miss,” the salesperson said, showing that Caroline’s name was the pendant 

“But…” Caroline was speechless and looked at her friend. “Did you…?” 

[It’s a gift from Jayden and me.] 

engraved on 

Caroline smiled when she heard that, feeling tears well up as the salesperson took the necklace and fastened it around her neck. 

“Thank you,” she said, touching the jewel now hanging from her neck. “Now I see why you pointed out this store, you sneaky little thing.” 

[Yeah, and we’re also getting that ring you liked.] 

“No wait, that’s too much!” Caroline said, embarrassed, but then saw the salesperson place a black leather box containing the ring in front of her. 

[Yes and no, but I didn’t buy this one.] 

“What…?” she repeated, confused. Deborah took the ring from the box and handed it to her, showing it was already engraved with the date she started dating Christian, along with a heart. “Aww… it’s our special date,” she said lovingly as she put the ring on. “You’re terrible. You had everything planned from the start.” 

[Of course, because you’re worth it, my friend.] 

“Thank you,” Caroline said, hugging her. 

After taking the boxes and thanking the salesperson, they left for their favorite pasta restaurant. 

When they finished their outing, they went to Deborah’s house since she mentioned there was one more big surprise there. 

“And will you tell me what it is?” 

[No. Now go get ready and wear everything we bought

“Well okay then…” Caroline said, amused. 

Deborah saw her friend head to the shower and, once sure she wouldn’t come out, sent a message to Christian so he could bring everyone over without being seen. She also used the time to let the quests 

into the house unnoticed. 

When everyone was inside, Deborah also went to get ready for the party. 

About 30 minutes later, they were both ready. 

I’m ready,” Caroline said, stepping out in a red dress with thin straps, black heels, heavier makeup to accentuate her features, and her new jewelry. 

[You’re missing this. Here.] Deborah handed her a sleep mask. 

“Eh… but…” 

It’s for the surprise] 

“Well, I love surprises,” Caroline said, carefully putting it on to avoid ruining her eye makeup. 

When she was ready, she felt Deborah take her hands and gently pull her along. 

As they approached, Jayden opened the door, and everyone fell silent. Once in position, Deborah let go of her hands, and Christian stood beside her to carefully remove the mask. 

“Happy birthday, my love,” he said, kissing her. 

“Thank you, my love,” she said, hugging him and then noticing where they were. 

“Surprise! Happy birthday!” everyone shouted. Caroline saw her parents, aunts, uncles, and in–laws there. 

She was astonished to see they were in a new salon, with a sign on one wall that read “Welcome home.” 

“I love this!”
