to have reached a conclusion, but he still held her tightly.

One sentence, two simple words, like a needle stuck in her heart. Lauren stopped struggling, and Willy fell silent for a moment. Lauren stopped because of the 'care' he said while Willy fell silent because she did, as well as Cloud's swearing. The scale in his heart seemed "That was wrong of me. I shouldn't have doubted you! Don't let it spoil your mood! I'll send you home."

Because of the episode, the two never spoke the entire drive, more or less bothered when they parted.

After that day, Willy became more solicitous to her.

In a blink of an eye, it was her birthday. Intentional or not, Lauren received a vocal-care gift box and a text from him, very much like the one three years ago.

"Tonight, at 7 p.m., Roman Western Restaurant. I have a surprise for you; wear something nice. Don't be late!"

He even chose the same location!

Her frozen gaze was like a glacier crumbling as she looked at the text. Very quickly, she typed a reply.

"OK, I'll dress up and meet you."

Her gut feeling told her he was going to propose to her! Three years ago, her birthday, and now, huh...

Her heart began to throb again. Right then, she didn't know if she was feeling sad for her past self or emotional for her present self.

After locking her phone, she went to wrap up her work and deal with the follow-up.

It was her birthday just as well as it was her baby's. She had always regarded that day as her birthday, even told others the same date as well. But to differentiate Lauren and Tevye, she still changed the date. Then again, it was also baby Yvette's birthday, just as important of a day; she still had to spend time with the little one, who wouldn't stop talking about birthday cakes every day!

Then a woman about her shape changed into her clothes and drove her car out. Following that, she pushed open a small gate in her backyard, passed through a narrow path, straight to the
