Sitting on the swing in the small garden and looking at the flowers and plants, Elizabeth felt much better.
The moon was very bright that night. Although the stars were sparse in the sky, they were twinkling and looked so beautiful.
It was autumn, and the night breeze was a little cold.
She played on the swing, looked down at the album on her mobile phone, and then smiled faintly.
Tomorrow was her birthday.
In the past, she spent her birthdays very normally. At that time, although she didn't know what Theodore was thinking and whether he regarded her as his fiancee or not, he would give her an exquisite cake every year on her birthday, or take her out to play for a day.
Her aunt didn't like her very much, so after the first few years, she wouldn't celebrate her birthday for her, not to mention Josephine. However, her uncle would give her a sum of money on her birthday and asked her to buy something she liked.
As for Evelyn, she always talked about how to celebrate her birthday a few days before her birthday. She was with Theodore at that time, so Evelyn would always take her to eat in the restaurant on the day before her birthday. Although the food was not particularly expensive, their happiness couldn't be bought with money.
Her birthday was the day she valued the most in a year, and the reason was very simple. On her birthday, she felt that there were so many people who cared about and loved her, which made her, a girl who had no parents, feel warm and happy.
But this year...
Alas!
Evelyn must have forgotten about it. Otherwise, she would have suggested to her how to celebrate her birthday a few days ago, wouldn't she?
As for James... she did not mention this to him. On the one hand, she thought that he was so busy every day and didn't want to saddle him. On the other hand, she knew that he didn't like troublesome things, and she was afraid that he would say that she was hypocritical.
James probably wouldn't know about such a trifle.
Pursing her lips, she felt a little disappointed in her heart. But when she thought about it again, she felt that her birthday might be a trivial thing in other people's eyes, and got a little relieved.
Just as she was lost in thought, something gently landed on her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw James wearing a coat for her.
"It's so cold outside. Why don't you wear a coat? What if you catch a cold?"
"It's a little cold outside indeed. Why did you come out?"
They almost spoke at the same time.
Both of them smiled when hearing each other's words.
James walked to her front and gently wrapped her tightly with the coat, "Dear, why did you sigh just now? Do you have something on your mind?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth's heart trembled and she immediately shook her head, "No."
"Then why did you sigh?" He bent over slightly to look into her eyes and asked, "Are you still angry with me?"
"No." She was really not angry. While having dinner, she just felt a little embarrassed because Lydia and John were there.
