Hearing what I said, Lucas's face instantly darkened.

"Ella, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like that? Don't forget, you are living in my house now and I am supporting you..." He tried to refute me.

However, I want to tell him that we have been using the AA system for seven years.

Even after I quit my job, I still spent my own savings.

But before he could finish his words, the oven made a crisp "ding" sound.

I was too lazy to talk to Lucas anymore, so I put on gloves and brought out the cake.

Lucas frowned and looked at her for a while, then his attitude softened a little: "Today... is your birthday?"

Yes, today is my 30th birthday and also the 7th anniversary of being with Lucas.

I was busy all day and made a cake by myself, just to wait for him to get off work and celebrate together.

Lucas felt guilty and took the initiative to find candles for me to light, and said: "I've been too busy at work recently, I will make it up to you. I'll take you to pick a new diamond ring this afternoon, and buy you a bigger one."

He sat in front of me, and returned to his usual gentle appearance, trying to comfort me: "Ella, you don't have to be jealous of Chelsea. We were in love when we were young, but so many years have passed, and we have let it go long ago."

Have you really let it go?

I still remember that not long after I started dating Lucas, I overheard him chatting with his brother when I was bringing him food.

They asked Lucas why he was with me, and he said, "It doesn't matter who it is except Chelsea."

I was young and full of energy back then, and I thought that sincerity could shake everything. Now thinking about it, it was really one wrong step that led to all the wrong steps.

I must withdraw in time before everything is lost.

"No need, just go ahead and do your work, I can handle it myself." I responded indifferently.

However, my years of silence have made him accustomed to my bowing my head.

He thought I had chosen to forgive again, so he smiled, lit the candle for me and said, "Make a wish now."

In previous years, my wish was for Lucas and I to be happy and love each other forever.

However, this time, I silently made a wish: "I want to be happy and leave Lucas forever."

After making a wish, I opened my eyes and prepared to blow out the candles, but found that Lucas was nowhere to be found.

The cake I worked so hard on for six or seven hours was thrown to the ground. He was in such a hurry that he not only knocked over the cake, but also didn't have time to close the door.

After I mopped the floor, I turned on my phone and saw Chelsea posted a new status: " Chelsea is such a little idiot. She can even knock over the cabinet when she walks. Fortunately, my prince charming always rushes to protect me in the first time."

And Lucas, who ignored me when I was in a car accident, commented below: "Whenever you need me, I'll be there for you."

I clicked “like” and immediately received a new message from Lucas.
