In the hotel restaurant, Elaine looked at the falling snow outside. Thereâs always a smile on her face.
She turned to look at Darnell, âWhy donât you eat at Nicolasâs place? His dishes are quite delicious.â
Darnell said lightly, âThen why donât you have dinner with him.â
Elaine immediately shut her mouth and rested her chin in her hands, âWhy did you come to Switzerland? Did you come to celebrate me on purpose?â
Darnell poured a glass of water and drank it, with no change in his tone, âItâs just work.â
âReally? I donât believe it.â
Darnell glanced at her sideways. Elaine made a mouth, insisting her opinions.
Even if he was coming for work, how could he come to Switzerland on her birthday? Is it so coincidental?
And he also put the gift at the door secretly so that she wouldnât know who sent it.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Elaine was satisfied with the meal. She said, âThis is the best meal Iâve had since I came to Switzerland!â
Darnell said slowly, âDidnât you say Nicolasâs cooking is delicious?â
âItâs completely different. I like the dishes he cooks, but I like you more. I feel happy as long as I am eating with you, no matter what we eat.â
Darnell moved his brows without being noticed. He raised his chin, âYou finished?â
Elaine said, âYeah, Iâve had enough.â
Darnell took his coat and got up. âLetâs go.â
Elaine followed him to the door of the restaurant and pointed to the floor-to-ceiling windows, âItâs snowing again.â
In other words, she didnât want to go back.
Darnell glanced back at her, and Elaine immediately said, âI will sleep on my own and I wonât disturb you.â
âYour father agrees that you can stay over outside?â
Hearing this, Elaine frowned and thought for a while, and then she said with a tricky proposal, âI told him that my classmates are holding a birthday party for me. He will agree with me staying out!â
Darnell didnât say anything and asked his subordinates to open a room for Elaine, âI will take you to school tomorrow morning.â
Of course, Elaine wouldnât refuse, nodding her head again and again.
After they got off the elevator, Darnell took her to the door of the room, âGood night.â
Elaine turned around and said reluctantly, âItâs still early. Canât I stay with you for a while?â
Darnell glanced at the time, âItâs ten oâclock, itâs time to go to bed.â
Elaine whispered, âMy dad wonât go to bed earlier than you.â
Darnell opened the door of her room, handed her the key, and indicated that she could go in.
Elaine took the room card and looked back at him from time to time.
When she walked in, Darnell closed the door of the room, blocking her view completely.
Darnell turned around and went to the next room.
As soon as he opened the door, a figure ran out from the next room and ran into the room rapidly.
Thereâs no change in Darnellâs expression, âYou has promised me.â
Thatâs just Elaineâs effort of expanding the time they spend together. But she couldnât tell the truth, for fear that he would send her home in a fit of rage.
She stuck her hand in her clothes pocket and touched something. Suddenly her eyes lit up. She took it out and put it in front of him, âThis, please put it on for me. I canât wear it myself.â
Darnell stood still.
Seeing this, Elaine stretched out her hand and pulled him in, âPlease help me put it on. And Iâll go back. I will absolutely never disturb you.â
Darnell took the necklace from her hand, âTurn around.â
Elaine turned around obediently and lifted her hair, so that he could put it on.
Elaineâs breathing tensed as his hands stretched around her. She felt like she could hear her heart beating.
Darnell looked down, quickly put the necklace on, and withdrew his hand, âOkay.â
Hearing this, Elaine turned around again, and gently touched the pendant in front of her collarbone. Thereâs sparkle in her eyes. âDoes it look good?â
Darnellâs thin lips pursed slightly and nodded.
Elaine smiled and looked up at him silently.
Maybe it was because of the heavy snow outside the window, or maybe it was because he happened to show up again on her birthday. This sense of satisfaction made Elaine more courageous than before. Slowly, she closed her eyes and stood on tiptoes.
Just as she was about to kiss him, Darnell reached out and clasped her shoulders.
Elaine said unwillingly, âI want birthday gift...â
âItâs on your neck.â
âThat doesnât count. I picked it up at the door. You didnât write your name. It could be anyone.â
Elaine struggled hard, trying to sneak up on him while he was distracted.
Darnell didnât give her the chance and pushed her down.
Elaine was pushed down on her feet. Her mouth bulging, she was obviously disappointed.
Just when she decided to let go and return to the room, she felt the cool thin lips kiss on her forehead.
He said, âHappy birthday.â
Elaineâs expression turned up instantly. She took advantage of the kiss and sneak into his arms again, hugging his waist tightly, âIâm very happy. This is the happiest birthday Iâve ever had!â
...
In the middle of the night, Elaine was lying on the bed, rolling over and over again, unable to fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see the picture of the kiss on her forehead.
She was excited for a long time. For one time, she shyly buried her head in the pillow. For another, she waved her hand happily.
At this time, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.
Elaine sent a Twitter, [ I hope everyday in my life could be as happy as today in the future.]
The pictures were a snow scene from a hotel window and a picture of the birthday cake baked by herself.
Elaine received a lot of likes and comments after the photo was posted.
Just as she was replying them one by one, the phone suddenly rang.
It was Stellaâs call.
Elaine quickly picked it up, lying on the bed while shaking her legs, âSister.â
Stella said, âSorry Elaine, I forgot your birthday. Iâll make it up to you later. Happy birthday!â
âItâs okay, Iâm already very happy.â
Hearing her tone, Stella paused before asking, âAnything lucky happened?â
Elaine nodded. Her smile was even brighter. Just as she was about to speak, Clarenceâs voice came from the other side of the phone, âArenât you going to sleep?â
Elaine, â...â
She checked the time. It was almost twelve oâclock.
It should be six oâclock in the morning in the Riverside city.
Elaine didnât have time to think about why Stella got up so early. After saying good night to her sister, she immediately hung up the phone.
Back on the bed, Elaine stroked the necklace on her neck contentedly.
After a long time, she fell asleep unconsciously.

Darnell stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the heavy snow outside, recalling the image of Elaine chased him out of the restaurant.
Originally, he just wanted to take a look at her before she returned to the James family.
Back in the James family, they would turn into enemies.
No matter to the rest of the James family, or Franklin, he wonât let them go easily.
For her, heâs also turned into a downright bad guy.
But he still went to see her when he saw her standing in the blizzard and snow, wearing only a thin sweater.
