Instead of answering her inquiry, Alexander turned to the waiter.
"I do not wish for a cake."
"That's all right, sir."
The server was a bit astonished, but he had to leave once the guest refused.
"Hold on!" The waiter was halted by Sophia. "Please bring the cake."
"I don't see myself celebrating a birthday," Alexander replied carelessly.
Sophia felt uneasy, so she said obstinately, "I'd want to have some cake."
The waiter nodded and walked away when he saw that Alexander had no objections.
Again, there was a void of stillness between them. For some reason, Sophia instantly remembered that Alexander had celebrated her birthday as Liam.
Given that Alexander could spend her birthday with her, why did he not want to celebrate his own?
Sophia couldn't help but inquire, "Why can't you celebrate the day you came into this world?"
