Chapter 585


    Why did it always happen like this...


    Just when she felt like she was at the end of her rope, utterly hopeless, he gave her these tiny


    glimpses of hope.


    Tonight, he asked her to cancel the press conference. He wanted to help Penelope.


    She was furious, distressed, and her heart was cold and dead, but now, amidst a glorious fireworks


    disy, it was ignited once again.


    Why did he always have this power over her heart? “Lucian, what am I to you, really?” she thought.


    “Is it... my birthday?”


    He nipped at the tip of her ear with a teasing punishment. “Allison, tell me, you didn’t forget your own


    birthday?”


    She gave him a wry smile and nodded. “I think I really did forget.”


    When she started out in showbiz, thepany made her change her birthday. The date they released


    to the public was a few months after her real birthday. It seemed all the stars would do it to avoid their


    personal details getting out.


    She didn’t touch her age, just changed the month, but she never told Lucian.


    It wasn’t Allison’s real birthday. Her actual, honest-to-goodness birthday was the same day as


    Penelope’s.


    Penelope and Allison were born on the same day, but Leah thought it was bad luck. Therefore, she had


    Grace change it, who bumped it up a bit.


    The irony was that Allison was the true nagan heiress. It wasughable. Even her birthday was not


    real.


    The fireworks had faded now, but the drone-crafted message still hung in the air: “Happy Birthday, may


    you be carefree.”


    “From now on, I’ll be there for your every birthday, Allison. For the future, I’ll be with you,” he said,


    wrapping his arms around her from behind. He’d misunderstood her so often in the past, but gradually,


    she had crept deep into his heart. He was now facing his own feelings. He liked her, and wanted her by


    his side for a lifetime.


    Allison stared up at the night sky, lost in thought.


    Lucian, the eternal iceman, rarely spilled his heart out. He even nned it with efforts. However, Allison

    was just staring at the sky. He chuckled, and bit her earlobe slightly, bringing Allison back to reality with


    a wince.


    “Did you not hear what I just said?” There was a hint of dissatisfaction and hurt in his voice.


    Allison really hadn’t heard him. “Sorry, I was just... spaced out.”


    Allison smiled, turning to wrap her arms around his waist. “Did you make time especially for today?”


    Lucian’s lips curled into a half-smile. “What else?”  Draмanovels.cоm
