Chapter 358
Jasmine didn’t actually dislike pink.
As long as it was pretty and cute, she was all for it.
Listening to Daisy excitedly boasting about her latest find, Jasmine nodded along enthusiastically, saying, “It’s super adorable and really pretty.”
With that, she handed over the gift she had prepared for Daisy.
Daisy thanked Jasmine and couldn’t help but add, “She even baked me a cake! It’s blue and looks absolutely stunning!”
As Daisy finished speaking, she eagerly asked Granger to help her open the cake.
Hearing Daisy mention that woman so fondly, Moran raised an eyebrow and remarked, “The way that woman makes cakes and gives gifts, she’s really put in some effort, hasn’t she, Granger? What do you have to say about that?”
Given how Charlene had taken time out of her busy schedule to fulfill her promise by waking up early to bake Daisy that cake, Granger could clearly see just how much Charlene cared for Daisy.
Even though Thorne and Jasmine were present, when Moran brought up Charlene, Granger couldn’t help but flash a gentle smile.
If yesterday Vesta was unsure whether Granger truly had feelings for Charlene, the tenderness in Granger’s smile now left her with no doubt.
No wonder these past few months, when she called him, he didn’t always pick up immediately like he used to.
Sometimes, he didn’t answer at all. She had thought he was just busy, but now she saw…
What was it about Charlene that Granger liked so much?
Vesta pressed her lips together, puzzled about what made Charlene so appealing to Granger.
Moran, catching on to the meaning behind Granger’s involuntary smile, teased, “So, you’re finally admitting you have a thing for her?”
Thorne, noticing Granger’s smile, also chuckled. The room buzzed with cheerful chatter.
After a while, Daisy made her birthday wish.
Once she finished, Granger helped Daisy cut the cake.
Jasmine was the first to get a slice. Taking a bite, her eyes lit up. “This is delicious.” she said.
Just like the ones her mom makes!
Come to think of it, she hadn’t seen her mom in a while.
Her birthday was coming up, and she was sure her mom would bake her a cake too.
Moran, not typically a fan of sweets, couldn’t help but agree after a couple of bites, “It tastes great. Seems like she’s got quite the talent. You’re lucky, Granger.”
Granger paused his smile at that comment, subtly glancing over at Thorne.
Thorne was busy eating his slice, taking small bites without saying much.
Vesta, initially reluctant to try Charlene’s cake, eventually gave in and tasted it.
Truth be told, it was quite good.
Listening to Moran’s compliments, she couldn’t help but sarcastically think that maybe Granger just liked that Charlene was the perfect homemaker.

As she pondered this, she noticed the way Granger looked at Thorne.
Normally, she wouldn’t read too much into Granger’s glances at Thorne. But at that moment, she understood.
After all, Thorne and Charlene were still married. Did Granger truly believe having a wife like Charlene was such
a blessing?
Was he both envious of Thorne and hopeful that Thorne would divorce Charlene soon so he could be with her openly?
With that realization, Vesta suddenly understood that Granger might be even more smitten with Charlene than she had thought.
