As Tina stared dumbly at the birthday cake on the serving table, her mind fizzled. She wasn’t sure how to react.
‘I don’t think today is Samuel’s birthday,’ she thought to herself, puzzled. The waiter explained, “Miss Lynd, today’s your birthday! Mr. Langford brought you here so he could celebrate the occasion with you!”
From the moment the Lynd family adopted Tina, she had never celebrated her birthday. She was used to singing birthday songs and giving birthday wishes to Pearl alongside her family, every year.
It was beyond Tina’s expectation that Samuel would even remember her birthday, let alone celebrate it.
‘Is this the surprise he’s talking about?’ she thought curiously. ‘Oh! That’s why he was so angry! I’ve misunderstood his intentions!’ Without hesitating for a second, she lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed outside. Right at this moment, the door of the lift opened and Samuel exited. She said immediately, “Mr. Langford, I apologize. I forgot that today’s my birthday! I hope you don’t feel offended by what I said just now.”
Samuel was unfazed as he continued to march forward.
When he walked past her, he even maintained a distance from her deliberately and avoided eye contact.
Tina stood there, motionless, as she looked at him getting into the car and leaving the place. “What…” All the waiters in the hotel were dumbfounded.
They were tasked with assisting the birthday party today. Who would’ve known that things would turn out so awkwardly? Once Samuel was out of sight, they erupted into heated gossip. “What happened here? I thought this was a birthday surprise?”
“I don’t know. When I heard that Mr. Langford is the host, I thought we’d be in for generous tips today. How did things turn out to be like that?” “That aside, who’s that woman anyway? Isn’t his girlfriend Miss Young? I thought that today was Miss Young’s surprise party!” “What a joke! From the way she dressed, I don’t know how she managed to seduce Mr. Langford. Everything’s all messed up because of her. This is just disappointing!” Tina picked up the hem of her dress and left the hotel with a depressed expression. When she arrived at the bus stop, the onlookers glared at her with ridicule.
“What does she think she is? A princess?” “A princess? Why is she taking the bus?” “You’re right, but why is she dressed like that in a public place? Look, she’s not even wearing shoes! Is she out of her mind?” Only then did Tina realize that she had been walking barefoot ever since she lost her shoes on the stairs.
At this moment, she could feel waves of stabbing pain on the soles of her feet.
However, it was too late to head back to the hotel now.
She checked the bus schedule and found that it was the last line for today. If she missed the bus, she would have to hail a taxi back home.
All her finances right now would only amount to around 2000 dollars. Not only were her expenses much higher than her monthly income, but she also had a baby on the way. By then, her expenses would be doubled.
As such, she had to be meticulous when it came to spending money. After waiting in the cold wind for almost half an hour, the bus finally arrived. The people jostled through one another and rushed into the bus. Tina wouldn’t dare to squeeze in with the crowd. She covered her stomach and waited for everyone
to enter. Her legs were numb and weak after standing in the corner for a long time After switching bus lines two times, she finally arrived at the villa. Right now, it was already late at night.
The security guard saw a ghost-like shadow and was almost scared to death.
“Who’s that?”
“It’s me…” Tina said weakly. The guard slid the gun back into his pocket. “Oh, it’s Miss Lynd. I’m sorry, I mean Mrs. Langford. Welcome back!” There wasn’t the slightest hint of respect in his tone, and his sarcasm was quite obvious.
