Maximilian Jones came back unexpectedly not long after I got home . This surprised me because he used to go out with Wendy and would never come home before the early hours of the morning. If I called him, he would always complain impatiently that I was too controlling. But today, he was out of character and came back early, holding a beautiful birthday cake in his hand, saying that he wanted to celebrate my birthday again. I smiled and thanked him, took the cake, put the candles on it again, and made the same wish.

" Miranda , I..." Maximilian Jones was about to speak, but I stopped him, "Shh! Today is my birthday, let's not talk about unhappy things. Eat cake. " Maximilian Jones and I had a sweet past. We met in college. At that time, he was an unappreciated illegitimate child in a wealthy family, and I was a poor student with a sick relative at home. We both care about grades. I want to get a scholarship to relieve my parents' pressure, and he wants to prove his ability to his father. Therefore, we have always occupied the top two places in the college. At the beginning, neither of us was willing to give in to the other, but later, we understood each other's difficulties, fell in love with each other, and spent a period of time together supporting and encouraging each other.

However , everything changed after his childhood sweetheart came back from abroad two years later. There are always three shadows in our relationship. Maximilian Jones, for Wendy , would not hesitate to leave me to accompany her even if I was retaliated and hurt because of him. He could cook for Wendy , but he was unwilling to cook a bowl of porridge for me even when I had a high fever of 40 degrees. Over the years, I feel more and more tired.
