Chapter 388
The early guests congratted 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?”
Alfredughed 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 nced 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 spected 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.”Original from N?velDrama.Org.
“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’lle to check on youter.”
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 apanying 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 generationpared 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 in light blue dress, without any shy
jewelry. But such simplicity highlighted her elegant beauty.
This overshadowed many of the more extravagantly dresseddies. 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 congrattions.
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?”
