The butler saw Amanda off. He followed her until both of them stopped in front of her car.

“Miss Bailey, you should come to visit Mr. Winters when you’re free. He needs some company.”

He could tell Amanda was the only person to make Elias talk.

“All he needs to do for the time being is recover. He should stop running around. I’ve seen the weather forecast. It’ll continue to rain these few days.”

She then opened the door to get into the car.

The man couldn’t help but sigh. “Mr. Winters cooked for you on his birthday. He was going to pick you up to celebrate his birthday. Who would’ve known it would end up in an accident…”

If everything went smoothly that day, Elias could’ve brought Amanda back to the manor for his birthday celebration. Furthermore, it would also break the ice between Elias and Amanda.

The words took Amanda aback. “Since when did he learn to cook? I never once saw him do so.”

The butler had many stories to share with her. “That’s right. Mr. Winters never cooked, but he had a different idea in mind during his birthday. He woke up early and sought advice from the chef at home. He whipped up a feast with the chef’s help, but he cut his fingers many times in the process. I’ve never seen him being that serious about something.”

Amanda burst into laughter after hearing the story.

Elias, of all people, cooked? After learning the story from the butler, she felt a pang of sadness within her. Elias had long since abandoned celebrating his birthday. Just when he finally made up his mind to move on, his life gave him something bad in return. I need to find the truth, or else he’ll see it as karma. The thought will traumatize him and he will be strongly against the thought of celebrating his birthday for the rest of his life.

The butler sighed one more time. I guess Mr. Winters would never want to celebrate his birthday after this. It’s never a pleasant thought for him. After all, his father passed away on the same day.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll fix everything. He could have a normal birthday from next year on A hint of determination was shown in Amanda’s tone. After that, she closed the door.

Even though the man had no idea what she was talking about, her determined look convinced.
