บท 1050: Althea’s Birthday

A few more days passed by and Althea's 26th birthday finally arrived.

Like Garan, she wasn't into big parties so their celebration was a very intimate dinner with only their closest friends and family eating a more special-than-usual menu on the table. 

They set up a large dining table at the veranda area and each dish was plated well, and it was obvious the chef took particular care of them. 

The group ate happily, eating much more than usual, and were extremely satisfied with the experience. Cooke himself made most of the food and it was his best menu yet.

They sang the happy birthday song with cake and candles and—while it was a traditional practice—it felt special and nostalgic to do in this foreign land.

"Happy 26th birthday!" they greeted, each giving their special gifts.

Winona and Ansel gave a few sets of dresses and suits she got Andrei to customize. Both of them had impeccable taste, so Althea knew the attire would be really good.
