Everyone else was at the dining table except Alexander and Greta. Greta was not on the table because she was still in the reflection room, while Alex was having cold feet, because his birthday was that day. He finally came to the dining room looking quite tiresome as everyone chorused, Happy Birthday Alex!
He was reluctant to smile to show appreciation but he did it anyway. Sebastian told Alex that they've made plans for his birthday cake but they have to tell Alan about it first.
Alex told them not to worry about it and that a birthday doesn't necessarily need a cake, but Julius wasn't having it,
"There's no way we're gonna throw a birthday party without a cake. Is it a funeral?" Julius said.
Everyone laughed, while Alex took his seat next to Mila, who was still crossed with him.
"Hey, are you still mad?" Alex asked Mila
