    The girlfriend tumed out to be Lana Larissa wandered how she forgot that October 23rd was Lana’s


    birthday.


    As she recalled the past, she clenched her handbag so lightly that she began trembling. Before she left


    the Seymours, she had spent every October 23rd hiding under the covers ef her nket in her room.


    She relused to watch the joyful asion happening outside her room or listen to theughter that


    echoed outsice. They were nothing but a reminder of how unwee she was in that family.


    As old memories and negative emotions arose, her breathing turned shallow. Despite the warm


    temperature of the venue, she began to shiver.


    Just then, Lucas cleared his throat in the microphone, which silenced the audience immediately. The


    abrupt silence brought Larissa back to her senses. She got to her feet, deciding to slip away quietly


    before Lana noticed her. However, before she went far, she ran into someone. Aint familiar, manly

    her to blush and the chill she had been expenencing moments ago vanished.


    Larissa’s mind went nk-Lana, past birthdays, and bad memories suddenly faded. In their ce,


    there was only Kevan upying her thoughts.


    Amotion Jarred her from losing hersell to the rhythm of her thundering heartbeat, and Larissa and


    Kevan tumed to look at the stage.


    At some point, a cake in the form of a castle had been ced beside Lucas and Lana. There was a


    crown-shaped candle on the cake, and its tickering me added a touch of enchantment to the scene.


    When the ns began ying “Happy Birthday,” Lucas motioned for the crowd to stop, and the


    cheering died. Holding Lana’s hand, he looked at her affectionately.


    “Today marks the third birthday I’ve celebrated with my little princess.”


    The cheesy nickname “ittle princess” sent goosebumps all over Larissa. However, when she thought


    about she found it quite litting for Lana. After all, Lana had always been the “tle princess” doted on by


    all the Seymours, and like a princess, she lived in luxury ever since she was born.
