She could still remember that many people showed up at the Evans Residence.
All of them were there to celebrate her birthday.
Snowball was nuzzling against the plum tree and looking at the fireworks above.
Jeff said gently, “If you like it, I’ll hold a party like this for you every year.”
But that was the last time she ever had a party like that.She only recalled Jeff’s death anniversary, but she forgot that her birthday was coming tomorrow.
Four years ago, she was pregnant.
Initially, she thought Hunter would take care of the preparations for her birthday.
But he didn’t even show up the entire day.
Madison thought he was just busy, so she went into the kitchen to cook up a feast and waited for him to come home.
In the end, he didn’t come back.
Instead, she saw trending news of Hunter and Andrea sharing a candlelit dinner.It was the middle of summer, but Madison felt a chill that consumed her.
What followed was the series of incidents that happened during their divorce.
She didn’t have the time to celebrate her birthday.So she forgot about it eventually.She only realized she hadn’t celebrated her birthday in four years when she saw the words “Happy Birthday” in the sky.
Madison watched the fireworks show in silence.
It lasted for 30 minutes.
There was even a drone performance.
There was a huge cruise ship in the distance.
The person for whom the fireworks show was for would probably be on that ship.
After the fireworks were gone, the world fell silent once again.
Madison could only hear the waves crashing onto the shore.
“Your expression was solemn, Ms.Evans.What were you thinking about?”
Madison smiled bitterly.
“Nothing.I just thought of my own birthday when I saw another person’s birthday celebration.”
“Your birthday is today? Why didn’t you tell me? I’ll go get a cake for you.”
“No need.I haven’t celebrated my birthday for years now.It’s cold here on the beach.Let’s head back.”
Logan didn’t say anything else as he pushed her back toward the car.
It might be because they were on the beach for too long.
Madison sneezed as soon as she got in the car.
Logan quickly adjusted the temperature in the car.
Even after they arrived home, Madison was still feeling down.
Tasha slept very early.She was lights out at 8:00 pm.
Madison went back to her room for a while.Snowball was a cunning cat.
It would keep Madison company before she fell asleep.
But after she fell asleep, Snowball would sneak outside and play with Logan.
A few times, when Madison woke up in the middle of the night, she would see Logan playing with Snowball.
She washed up and lay quietly in bed.
Subconsciously, she took out her phone and searched for information about Hunter on Arlandian social media platforms.
Recent news about him mentioned that he had gone to Vuckburg to help with disaster relief efforts.
Madison turned off her phone.
She felt like Hunter had completely changed after she faked her death.
He was the successor of the Williams Estate, but he wasn’t even focused on work.
He had been going all over the place and was committed to doing charity and welfare activities.
Did he think that would bring her back to life? Or was he just trying to ease the guilt he was feeling? Madison wasn’t interested.
She didn’t want to know.
Her relationship with him was a thing of the past.
She turned off the lights and went to sleep.
It was a habit she adopted after countless sleepless nights.
Madison turned to her side and looked at the view outside the window.She was counting the days until she would recover.She was dying to return to Arlandia to look for her children.
Suddenly, someone knocked on her door.
Madison quickly looked toward the door.
“What’s wrong?”
Logan usually abided by the rules and wouldn’t bother her when she was resting.
“I ..Ms.Evans, are you asleep? I’m sorry to bother you.”
Madison wasn’t asleep yet, so she figured she might as well see what Logan wanted.
She got up and made herself presentable before she opened the door.
Her voice trailed off abruptly.
Logan was holding a cake with some candles on it.
The candlelight illuminated his face and flickered in his eyes.
“It might be a little late, Ms.Evans, but birthdays are important.You shouldn’t ignore them.”
It was exactly 11:59 pm at the moment.
Logan probably made the cake himself.
There were still traces of flour and cream on his face.
“Thanks.”
Madison was moved.
“It’s almost 12:00 am.You should make a wish and blow the candle out, Ms.Evans.”
She didn’t make a fuss and quickly closed her eyes to make her wish.She wanted to be reunited with her children as soon as possible.She blew the candles out after she made her wish.
The time was 12:00 am.
The room fell into darkness after the candles were blown out.
For some reason, she felt like Logan’s voice was more solemn in the dark.
“One moment.I’ll go turn on the lights.Be careful not to fall over.”
The lights were switched on.
Madison noticed that there was a plate of pasta on the table.
“Ms.Evans, it was a tradition back in our hometown to eat some pasta on our birthdays,”
Logan explained.
Madison didn’t expect him to do so much for her while she was resting.
“You …don’t really have to do all these for me.”
“I still need to express my gratitude to you for giving me a job.Or else I won’t be able to fund my mother’s retirement.A cake and some pasta aren’t that much trouble.
“The only issue is that this is my first time baking a cake.I had to follow a tutorial to make it.It might not be good.The cake might be a little burnt.You can just eat the pasta.”
Madison didn’t have the heart to turn down his kindness.
“Okay.They went to sit at the table.Madison looked at the pasta that looked and smelled delicious.
The first thought that came to her mind was still Hunter.He made a plate of pasta for her on her birthday once.
That was when they were just married.
Back then, he would go on business trips occasionally.
She thought he wouldn’t be able to make it in time for her birthday.
But he woke her up at 11:50 pm and handed her a plate of pasta.
He said it would bring good luck if she ate pasta on her birthday.
She laughed at him for being a superstitious old geezer and finished the dish joyfully.
He did love her a lot back then.
He also gave her whatever she wanted.
That was why she would still think about him despite all the things he had done to her.”What’s wrong? Does it taste bad?”
Madison took a few more bites and said, “No.It tastes pretty good.Thank you for being so thoughtful.I’ll be sure to add a bonus to your pay this month.”
Logan scratched his head.
“You’re so generous.Thank you in advance, Ms.Evans.”
“I’m the one who should thank you.”
Madison continued to eat the pasta.
Logan asked softly, “Are you going to eat the cake? I kind of failed at it.Can I eat it? I don’t want it to go to waste.”
Madison looked at that tiny cake.
It was a simple one with some words written in cream, wishing her a happy birthday and good health.
Logan wasn’t good with words.
The words were also slightly distorted.
Madison smiled.
“Sure, but leave a slice for me.I wouldn’t want your efforts to go to waste.”
“Okay.”
