After returning from the Gourmet Casino, Cole lived in peace for several months. Xiaosong, on the other hand, hadn't changed, and he would go on long trips with A'lu from time to time.

The weather was getting colder, and Shirley's birthday was getting closer. Coincidentally, Elvy's birthday was only a few days away from Shirley's. After a discussion, the three of them decided to just celebrate it together.

Cole wanted to make up for his absence last time, so he took the mother and daughter out for a good meal, but Shirley and Elvie agreed that there was no need to be extravagant, and it would be enough for him to just invite a few more friends at home.

Of course Cole let them do what they wanted.

"Then shall we prepare the ingredients first?"

The three of them came to the Central Wholesale Market again. When passing by the flower and plant shop, Shirley asked tentatively. Unexpectedly, the proprietress still remembered her, and the two chatted happily for a few words.

"Auntie, the store manager, please pick some more flowers for me. I want to add some other colors to my little garden."

"no problem."

"Then we'll come get it later."

"Ah."

Shirley had just shown her small garden to the landlady, who seemed very happy to meet a child who cherished flowers and plants like her, and even gave her a 50% discount.

Cole made note of some ingredients that needed to be purchased fresh on the same day and planned to get up early in two days to buy them. As for some unimportant items, he naturally took them home today.

After purchasing the ingredients, the next step is to confirm the invitees.

Elvy has a lot of friends, but she didn't want to invite too many people to this kind of party, so she only called Tina and Mana.

Shirley had more people to come. She first called all her friends, and then Mina. She also wanted to invite a few friends in the kitchen.

This social ability made Cole, who only called himself Henry, feel inexplicably chilled.

He wanted to call a few more people, but Xiaosong and Alu had gone somewhere unknown, and now in the Food City, the only one Cole could call was Henry.

But since Mana has come, how could Henry not come?

Thinking of this, Cole fell silent.

After learning the reason for his depression, Elvy and the others tried to comfort him for a long time while holding back their smiles.

Time soon came to the birthday day. The dinner was scheduled for the evening, but several adults still came early.

Cole took Henry and several of Shirley's friends from the kitchen to the market to buy vegetables, while several beauties stayed at home to prepare the birthday party and food.

"Well...why don't I go shopping with you guys?"

Tina raised her hand silently, she was an idiot in life, if she was asked to cook, she might as well help.

"Don't worry, there's enough work for you to do at home."

Elvy grabbed Tina's arm and dragged her to the living room, and the task of blowing up the balloon fell on her.

"Then let's set off."

"Well, come back soon."

Among the people in the kitchen, there was one who Cole was familiar with. He was the young man who led the way when he and Shirley first entered the kitchen.

"Your name is... Nott?"

"Yes, Mr. Cole."

"Don't be so restrained. We'll be relying on you for the shopping later. Henry and I are the only ones who know how to do the hard work. You'll have to take care of the freshness of the ingredients."

"Hey, what do you mean by using strength? Physical labor is also important, right?"

Henry and Cole were both veterans and quickly livened up the atmosphere among the group.

On the other hand, construction at home also began.

The children will not come until the afternoon, so they have to decorate the house before the children come.

Alvy and Mana were preparing the ingredients, while Shirley and Tina were decorating the house.

Mina arrived late at this time. This guy always came upstairs to eat and drink, but he couldn't come up. The deadly calls always came to Cole's mobile phone, which made him very annoyed. In the end, he got her a secondary card for the floor.

"Sister Elvy, do you need my help?"

"Go help Shirley and the others. They're busier over there than we are."

"it is good!"

This is the first time that the eldest lady has arranged her birthday party by herself, and she is very motivated.

With Mina's joining, the room decoration team worked much faster, and they finished decorating the room before Cole came back.

"Hey, don't move, I finally glued the balloons together."

In order to prevent the glue from being unable to be removed later, Cole asked someone to cover the entire living room with wallpaper.

"You glued the balloons on so early, aren't you afraid of leaks?"

"..."

The three-person team that was arranging the arrangements, which was quite exciting at first, suddenly fell silent.

Cole sighed, knowing that these guys wouldn't think too much. He put the ingredients in his hand on the table. Some of them needed to be processed immediately, so Nott and others took them to the kitchen.

"It's okay. If you see any leaks, just fix them."

"Ok!"

The trio instantly perked up again.

......

Now this house may be lacking in everything, but there is no shortage of chefs. Cole and Henry, who have some basic skills, have been driven out of the kitchen, not to mention Tina who knows nothing.

Mina sat obediently on the sofa, waiting for dinner.

At noon, Cole ordered a takeout meal for everyone. Everyone ate a few bites and then continued to work.

Time passed quickly and Shirley received calls from her friends.

Mina, who was already bored, immediately raised her hand to indicate that she would take it.

"Let's go together."

Cole stood up and let a half-grown kid lead a group of children. Not to mention Cole, even the parents who sent their children here would not feel at ease.

The two of them went downstairs together.

The four or five children have gathered together so many times that their parents are familiar with each other. When they see Cole coming, they safely hand their children to him and start discussing where to go for the gathering.

Cole: "..."

No, do you dare to smile more obviously?

Mina was old acquaintances with the little ones, so she took the lead and rushed forward. The little girls who were well behaved in front of their parents went crazy following Mina as soon as their parents left.

The sound of “Go!” echoed throughout the community.

"Keep your voice down and don't disturb others."

"Good~"

"Oh, that's so cute."

"Thank you, grandparents."

When passing by the small park, the grandparents who were taking a walk saw these little cuties and were so fascinated that they couldn't walk. The little girls were also polite and stopped to answer when the grandparents asked them questions.

Cole quickly pulled the girls away. Being pestered by those old men, it became a problem whether they could have dinner on time.

When they got home, the kids came and Shirley was kicked out of the kitchen.

With Shirley around, Mina stopped making a fuss and a group of kids started playing in the living room. The little ones knew their limits and played to a level that made people feel lively but not annoyed.

At dinner time, plates of exquisite dishes were served on the table. Fortunately, the house was big enough, so it didn’t seem crowded with so many people eating together.

"Well, thanks for all the ingredients in the world, I'm in!"
