Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire

Chapter 388

The early guests congratulated Alfred on his longevity. “Master Songo, may you have a long and prosperous life!” “Master Songo, wishing you endless happiness and longevity!” “Master Songo, at 88 years old, you still seem sharp and clear-headed. Do you have any secrets to share?” Alfred laughed and responded, “Just a simple and light diet, and a heart inclined towards goodness.” As the interactions continued, someone mentioned, “I heard that Cassie’s granddaughter has returned. Why hasn’t she appeared yet?” Many guests were curious about Cecelia’s beauty and wanted a glimpse. Alfred glanced around and inquired as he didn’t see Cecelia, “Where’s Cecelia? Why hasn’t she come?” Mizey chimed in, “Grandpa, don’t look for her. She’s probably still getting ready!” She speculated that Cecelia was surely still meticulously applying her makeup, probably aiming to dazzle everyone present. It wouldn’t be surprising if she took the opportunity to get acquainted with some influential figures.. Alfred didn’t press further. He hoped Cecelia would help him reunite with his youngest son at the banquet. Currently, all the staff working at the Songo family were busy with the banquet, leaving the West Garden deserted. Cecelia cooked a meal and came to care for Jesper. Jesper had recovered a lot. After eating Cecelia’s cooking, Jesper was very touched. “Girl, it’s been so long since I’ve tasted such good food. Your skills are just like your grandmother’s.” “My grandmother was indeed a good cook. I always loved her dishes when I was a child.” Cecelia continued feeding Jesper, who heard the music from outside and asked, “What’s that noise outside? Sounds festive.”

“Jesper, today is Alfred’s 88th birthday. There are celebrations, music, and dance performances outside.” “Oh, you should go join them. Don’t mind me!” “Understood, I’ll come to check on you later.” Cecelia cleaned up the thermos and dishes and left. The ferocious dog she had encountered before now recognized her and no longer showed aggression but wagged its tail happily at her. After returning, Cecelia tidied herself up and changed her dress. Fiona approached her. “Cecelia, you haven’t attended the banquet yet? Why don’t we go together?” “Sure, Fiona.” When Cecelia and Fiona arrived, all the guests had already gathered in the Songo family’s grand banquet hall. Continuously, gifts were being presented to the old master. When Cecelia and Fiona entered, many guests turned their heads to look at them. Everyone recognized Fiona, so the young and beautiful woman accompanying her must be Cassie’s granddaughter who had been in the news recently! “She’s Cecelia! She’s even more beautiful in person than in the news!” “She truly has the grace and elegance that Cassie had in her youth!” “She really is a chip off the old block!” The older generation compared her with a young Cassie. With grace, Cecelia walked in, her gentle smile warming anyone who saw her. Many women looked at Cecelia with a hint of envy because she was so beautiful that she drew the attention of all the men. Actually, Cecelia’s attire was very simple today, just a plain light blue dress, without any flashy jewelry. But such simplicity highlighted her elegant beauty. This overshadowed many of the more extravagantly dressed ladies. Wasn’t that infuriating? Seeing Cecelia, Mizey sneered. As she had expected, Cecelia always sought the spotlight. Cecelia and Fiona approached the old master to offer their congratulations. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Mizey, trying to stir trouble, said, “Cecelia, all of us have prepared birthday gifts for grandpa. I have prepared a valuable jade. What did you prepare?”
