Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 632

"You can call me whatever you like," Finn responded.

He shot her a gentlemanly smile, feeling both warm and sweet inside.

Wanda forced a smile and continued, "Thank you, Mr. Finn, for organizing this elaborate birthday party. I also want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Murray for attending despite their busy schedules..."

After expressing her gratitude to everyone present, Wanda raised her glass and said, "Thank you all for celebrating my coming of age with me. Cheers!"

Josie was momentarily stunned, a hint of confusion in her eyes. Although she knew Wanda was turning 18, she hadn't realized it meant she was officially an adult.

She marveled at how time had passed. In the blink of an eye, her daughter had grown up before she could spend more time with her.

This also meant that Wanda would soon be engaged to Finn. After graduating from university, Wanda would marry Finn and become a wife and eventually a mother.

Josie lowered her eyes, her mind racing with thoughts. She suddenly thought of Rosalie, who held no real power despite managing several companies. To put it bluntly, Rosalie was like a puppet controlled by the Murray family. Josie wondered if Wanda might end up in a similar situation if she married Finn.

With an inward sigh, Josie couldn't help but worry about her daughter's future.

Zachary was also in a slight daze as he realized that his younger sister, who used to cling to him, had grown up. Wanda had become more distant since he intervened in her relationship with Carlisle. It had been a long time since she had affectionately called him "Zac". He wondered where his sweet younger sister had gone.noveldrama

"Let's all raise our glasses and wish Wanda a happy birthday!" Skyler called out, lifting his glass in a show of generosity.

Everyone raised their glasses in unison and said, "Happy birthday, Wanda!"

Despite her joyous smile, Wanda's eyes were tinged with a hint of sadness. She couldn't explain her depressed emotion, so she assumed it was due to her parent's decision to sacrifice her happiness in exchange for the expansion of their business empire.

The dinner began. Wanda joined Christine and her group for the meal. Bianca ate heartily, her mouth smeared with grease. Christine and Phoebe were impressed by the dishes served.

When dinner started to wind down at around 7:00 pm, the sound of a helicopter's rotor blades resounded from outside.

Skyler frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why is there a helicopter landing here?" Maple Hill was a no-fly zone, and all aircraft were prohibited from flying over it. Skyler was worried that one of the government departments might be coming to inspect Maple Hill. Finn smiled politely and said, "That must be the helicopter I arranged."

Skyler felt slightly relieved. With his cousin's connections, the Murray family could request exceptions to the no-fly zone. However, he wondered what Finn needed the helicopter for.

"Excuse me. I need to go fetch something," Finn said, smiling gently before striding outside. Skyler leaned closer to Rosalie and asked in a low tone, "What did our son buy?"

Finn had personally invited Michelin-starred chefs from abroad to cook up a storm for Wanda's birthday party. Skyler wondered what else Finn had prepared.

Rosalie shook her head, replying, "I don't know."

Moments later, Finn returned holding a massive bouquet of roses. Each bloom was vibrant and striking, with layers of petals like delicate artwork, emitting a captivating fragrance that seemed to fill the air with romance.

Dressed in a pure white suit and standing tall, Finn held the 999 roses tenderly. He entered the room slowly, resembling a prince from a fairy tale.

The scene struck a chord with Phoebe and Christine, who were both single, leaving them visibly moved.

Finn approached Wanda, smiling warmly as he said, "Wanda, this bouquet of 999 Freedom Roses was specially ordered from Aquador. They symbolize free and passionate love. On this special day, I'd like to confess my feelings for you. Wanda, will you be my girlfriend?"
