Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Reunion, Rage, and Resentment

"Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday, dear Theodore… happy birthday to you!" 

They were celebrating Theo's birthday in the bakery. It was Saturday, Kate closed the store for a day and decorated the bakery with all sorts of birthday decorations for her son.

But Kate still opened the door in case a customer came. She didn't want to sell anything today, but she already prepared a bag of sweets for every customer that came as a way to celebrate Theo's birthday. 

Theodore stared at his Mom, Tom, and Maya standing before him. They all cheered for him, and the toddler laughed happily as it was natural for him to do so when everyone he loved gathered in one place.

Theo was even happier when he shifted his gaze at the cute birthday cake with a number '2' candle. 

"You can blow it now, Theo!" Kate said as she saw Theo excitedly blowing out the candle and got even more cheers and applause from his Mama, Tom, and Maya.
