Chapter 440

Matthew took a seat beside Neville as Stella placed the cake on the table.

His smile instantly dropped as soon as he spotted Kaia sitting in the chair opposite him.

“What is Kaia doing here?” Matthew leaned closer to Neville and asked.

“You weren’t the one who invited her?” Neville faced Matthew, a shocked look on his face.

Matthew’s expression darkened.

He was going to say something but the waiter started serving the food.

Matthew hardly celebrated his birthday, and this time, he only invited a few friends.

Cordell sat beside Matthew.

“The place looks great,” he said, taking short glances around the room.

“But Matthew, why are you suddenly celebrating your birthday? You haven’t actually celebrated it in years.

Matthew opened his mouth to say something but was immediately cut off by Neville.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Neville stole a glance at Stella.

Cordell chuckled softly, immediately getting the point.

Matthew remained silent.

It was hard to read him with how silent and distant he was being.

At that moment, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Lucia had texted him.

“I prepared dinner for you, so make sure to make it tonight for dinner.

”

Matthew glanced at Stella and texted back, “I’m going to celebrate my birthday with my wife this year.

”

Once he sent the text, he placed a small gift box on the table.

Neville stared curiously at the box.

“Wow, who sent it? It looks so pretty.

”

Neville reached his hand out to pick the box up, but was swatted away by Matthew.

“What? I just want to see it up close! It’s just a small gift, dude.

Why are you being so mean?”

Matthew sent him a sharp glare.
