The fondant cake was made into the shape of a castle. In the center, the princess in a white wedding dress slowly turned with the rhythm of the music. The prince knelt on one knee with a sword and a necklace in his palm.
"Happy birthday, Giselle. I will be by your side and accompany you through every birthday. "
In the afternoon, the two returned home early and started to pack their travel luggage. Giselle had been looking forward to the trip to Portugal for a long time, but she didn't expect that they both had their own thoughts when they should have been happy.
Two hours before the plane took off, Samuel was changing clothes in the bedroom and his mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
The screen lit up and then quickly went dark.
Although the time was short, Giselle still saw the content of the message clearly.
"Master, I miss you so much."
Giselle felt his brain explode with a "buzz".
When Samuel came out and saw Giselle standing by the table, his face changed and he walked quickly and even his voice became stern. "Did you check my phone?"
Giselle looked at him and this face that he had been with for seven years suddenly became unfamiliar at this moment. "No. "
Samuel looked through his phone, his expression relaxed, tinged with a layer of subtle desire.
The originally clear sky suddenly thundered and the patter of raindrops hit the window, like a hammer hitting the heart.
Then Giselle heard Samuel say, "The airline said that the plane was delayed due to weather reasons. We will go next time. The company has an emergency, I may be back late tonight."
Another lie.
Giselle looked at him. "Can you accompany me tonight..."
Giselle was afraid of thunder and Samuel knew it. Every time it rained, Samuel would hug her and pat her back like a child and the huge sense of security would dispel all the anxiety.
Samuel's eyes wavered for a moment, just when Giselle almost thought he was going to change his mind.
The phone vibrated again and Samuel looked at Giselle with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Giselle, the company is really busy..."
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and Giselle put on earplugs to isolate the roaring thunder as much as possible. The shadow from childhood might not have completely dissipated until now, but it was not to the point of losing the ability to move.
