Nicole kept handing out cake slices. When it came to Roscoes turn, Doreen intercepted and snatched it from Nicoles hands, asking, Roscoe, see if its any good?
It was likely the Watts family who arranged this cake.
Roscoe stayed silent but accepted the cake. He didnt want to embarrass Doreen in front of everyone. Hed address it later with Miguel, no matter how he felt about it now.
Doreen was delighted. As Nicole handed out cake to Doreens friends, Doreen exchanged glances with them, and they caught on instantly.
Once Nicole finished serving, Doreens friends launched a cake assault, smearing it all over Nicoles face. Hey, watch it.
Everyone assumed it was all part of the birthday fun.
But then, Doreens friends took it too far, relentlessly smearing cake on Nicoles face, making it hard for her to breathe.

Hey, ease up, guys! This is how a birthday celebration runs!
Doreens friends smeared the leftover cake all over Nicole, leaving her looking disheveled, with cake plastered on her face and hair, resembling a clown.
Roscoe frowned, displeased, about to speak up when Doreen let out a surprised cry. Oh my gosh!
To everyones astonishment, Doreen pulled a ring from her mouth. The diamond sparkled.
Roscoe, this is the surprise you planned! Overjoyed, Doreen hugged Roscoe tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. Oh, Roscoe, youre amazing!
The ring, also set up by the Watts family, caught Roscoe off guard.

When he spotted the sparkling gem, he instinctively glanced at Nicole.
Despite the cake coating, Nicoles eyes seemed to hold a hint of sorrow.
It was as if a string in Roscoes heart had snapped. He felt like he was on the brink of recalling something hed long forgotten. What was it
Wow! Its no surprise were all here to see this. Roscoes really considerate, Vicki added.
Doreen was ecstatic, paying no mind to Roscoes shocked look. She slipped the ring onto her finger and embraced Roscoe once more, brimming with emotion.
Vicki wiped her tears and said to Jarrod, Doreens happiness is contagious. Im genuinely happy for her.
Jarrod stayed silent, eyeing Nicole. He noticed every detail, even the way she squeezed her hand. He almost scoffed inwardly. Nicole never begged him over Austins custody, seemingly indifferent to her own son. Yet, here she was, so invested in Roscoe. It was absurd!
Since things were heading this way, Jarrod decided to push it further.
He clapped his hands, rose to his feet, and announced, Roscoe, Ive just learned that your family wants to advance the wedding to just ten days from now. Congratulations. Ill organize the best team for a lavish wedding ceremony!
It all happened so quickly and unexpectedly.
Roscoe was in shock, feeling like his heart was being torn apart. He felt like he knew it was all wrong, but couldnt protest. It was like being trapped by an invisible force, unable to break free, yet unwilling to surrender.
