    Melody stood at the entrance of Regal de, her eyes drifting over a ck Jeep that raced past her.


    For a moment, she stared, as if sensing something significant, then turned to nce through the tinted window. Her bright, almond-shaped eyes sparkled with a glimmer of hope.


    Spencer, seated inside the vehicle, cast azy look in her direction. In that fleeting moment when their gazes met, he felt a tightening sensation in his chest, fully aware that she could not see inside the car. A shiver ran through him.


    Melody, aren''t you doing well?


    That was it that you were searching for?


    Spencer''s thoughts drifted back to four years earlier, when Melody had ripped apart the unicorn doll he had gifted her and carelessly tossed it in the trash outside the Shields" mansion.


    He pressed down on the elerator, and the ck Jeep sped away, disappearing from Melody''s view like a sh of lightning, as he wished to avoid giving her even a momentary glimpse of himself. Regardless, he was back in Sommerville now.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    They would meet again eventually.


    Melody remained frozen in ce, a hollow ache gnawing at her heart.


    She had already dismissed the Jeep; a vehicle like that was well beyond Spencer''s financial reach.


    However, the sudden eleration had startled her, as if it were trying to shake her from her thoughts.


    "S A000618...


    Her eyes locked onto the departing Jeep, repeating the license te number in her mind, her expression bing increasinglyplex. "Bernard, look up that te!"


    Bernard had recently shifted his focus from tailing Edward to often lingering around Melody.


    Whenever she summoned him, he was quick to jump into action.


    This was much easier than earning his paycheck while staying close to Edward.


    Poor Brandon, though-he''ll have to work extra hard to cover both of our sries....


    Brandon silentlymented, I can''t believe I''m stuck with that guy for a brother!


    Alfred stood next to Melody, having noticed her anxiety.


    It was clear that she was particrly concerned about the owner of that car.

    He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, his eyes glinting with curiosity as he remarked, "That license te sounds somewhat familiar."


    "Could it be the annual sale during June 18th?"


    Melody was speechless. Kill me now.


    Seeing Melody''s expression darken, clearly not in the mood for jokes, Alfred quickly retreated, chuckling.


    "Hey, Mel. I was just messing with you!"


    "Isn''t June 18th Martin''s birthday? Do you think he might be awake?"


    After all. Melody and Alfred had known each other since their freshman year.


    Alfred had gone to great lengths to win Martin over after publicly dering his intention to pursue Melody.


    Martin had kept his distance, remaining cool and indifferent.


    However, Alfred''s excitement was hard to ignore, and soon, the entire school knew about the wealthy kid from Sommerville who had fallen for a beauty in dance ss. Melody had no interest in him, so she never bothered to learn about his background, only knowing that his name was Alfred.


    He hung out with a bunch of questionable people.


    That was the extent of her knowledge.


    "Yeah, it is indeed Martin''s birthday


    Melody''s gaze drifted into the distance, her heart growing heavier.


    What most people didn''t realize was that June 18th way also "Melody''s birthday. Seventeen years ago, Martin had discovered her on his own birthday.


    Melody couldn''t even remember her own birthday.


    From that point on. June 18th had be a shared celebration for both Martin and Melody.


    When she returned to the Shields, she also learned that her birthday-December 12th-was shared with


    Suzanna


    It turned out, she hadn''t been born in the sweltering summer.


    Instead, it was in the bitter chill of winter.


    Over the past four years, no one had ever wished her a happy birthday on that date.


    Only in winter, during the family gathering for Suzanna''s birthday, would they "conveniently include her and say, "Melody, happy birthday!"


    But December 12th?

    That birthday clearly belonged to Zanna, not Melody.

    Melody''s gaze returned to the license te, and it felt as if she had finally swallowed aforting remedy.


    In this world, aside from the Tuckers, no one knew she shared a birth@ay with Martin.
