That night, Midori came home from the supermarket after buying almost a month's supply of ingredients.
She had left Dmitri with her parents after spending her day with them.
Tonight, it is just for her and her husband.
Few hours earlier, she was pouting because she did not get any surprise or gift from him.
However, she brushed it off as him being busy.
She decided to surprise and cook for him instead, as her birthday celebration.
When she drove up to the driveway of their villa, she stopped her car just outside the front door, since there was a car parked at the garage.
Before she started getting her groceries from the trunk, her curiosity led her towards the unfamiliar car.
On closer inspection, it looked like it was 'wrapped' in rose gold foil ribbon.
It was a pearl white Maserati Ghibli.
"Oh my..." Midori gasped as she covered her mouth to suppress a scream.
She looked around. This is the point where her husband would magically appear behind her with his flashy smile.
