Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse novel Chapter 119

Book10 Chapter8

"You're talking nonsense!" Aaron rarely confronts Doris directly. He knows I care deeply for Doris and doesn't want to provoke my displeasure, so he usually avoids interacting with her.

But now, he stands up fiercely, shouting, "Mom's birthday is today! We share the same birthday! I wouldn't forget!"

Charles notices me and stands up as well. He doesn't say anything, but his face bears a hint of expectation.

"Evelyn," he calls out, awkwardly fumbling over my name, "Happy Birthday."

I walk over, calmly pulling out my keys to unlock the gate while keeping my eyes on him. "I forgot to mention that I've changed my birthday."

After a moment, I add, "But such a trivial thing shouldn't be your concern, should it?"

I used to love celebrating my birthday.

Samantha was an elderly lady with a special sense of ritual. Every year on my birthday, she prepared a huge spread of dishes, a beautiful cake, and a meticulously wrapped gift.

It was just the two of us at home, but it never felt lonely.
