Angela Thornton’s birthday celebration was split into two segnts, with lunch at the hotel and afternoon activities planned at the amusent park.
"To all the distinguished guests present, please give a round of applause to welco our little princess of the Thornton Family in Veridia, Miss Angela Thornton, as she walks down the red carpet~"
Indeed, Angela liked celebrating her birthday at the amusent park, and her grand entrance was even descending from the Ferris wheel, identical to the process from Anna Thornton’s eighteenth birthday celebration four years ago.
Anna stood on the outskirts of the guests, observing the vaguely familiar scene and setup, and noticing Angela wearing a dress identical to hers, she felt as though she were in a different world. Back then on Anna’s birthday, Dad Thornton had spent extravagantly to create a fairytale kingdom for her, with decorations and class far more painstaking than today’s scene.
Yet when Angela gracefully passed by the long row of wealthy young n from Veridia standing on both sides of the red carpet, winking at each one, Anna snapped out of reminiscing.
Eighteen-year-old Anna was proud to a fault, having been cherished by Dad Thornton since childhood, and those spoiled rich kids were beneath her notice.
If anyone dared to try to curry favor with her, they would receive a cold, sarcastic dismissal.
Ultimately, Angela chose a man to invite to dance the first dance with her, who didn’t seem as irkso to her as the others.
Wait a minute! This person seems a bit familiar?
Anna rembered, it was her senior.
Thinking back, Anna had wanted to invite Senior Quinn to dance the first dance with her.
Unfortunately, soone intercepted halfway.
...
"Anna?"
Hearing her na, Anna turned back and saw the ecstatic expression on Chase’s face.
"Anna, it’s really you!"
"Senior Quinn, long ti no see."
"It really has been a long ti!" Chase remarked, moved by Anna’s gracious greeting, "It’s been four years since we’ve seen each other, hasn’t it?"
"Yes, about that."
"Anna, you’ve beco even prettier than I rember. How have you been these years?"
"I’ve been doing well!"
Hearing Anna say she was doing well, Chase seed a bit unhappy instead.
"Anna, when you call senior, do you not really see as a friend? I an a friend you can be honest with. Actually, these few years, you probably haven’t been doing well, right? When your father passed, you disappeared. I even went to the Thornton Family to find you, but your stepmother said you were sent abroad for treatnt because you were ill. But I didn’t believe it! I didn’t believe the cheerful and confident princess in my heart would suddenly have ntal problems. I think you must have had a particularly tough ti then, right?"
Anna hadn’t expected that Chase would actually go to the Thornton Family to find her.
She rembered she hadn’t been particularly close with this senior before.
Yet since returning ho, Chase was the first to ask if she had had a hard ti then.
Her heart couldn’t help but stir, she gave Chase a genuine smile: "Thanks for your concern! That’s all in the past!"
"I can tell, you must be doing much better now. I know Angela is your cousin, and I heard you returned to Veridia, so I ca on the off-chance to see if I could run into you. Didn’t expect such luck!" Chase said, sowhat awkwardly adjusting his jacket sleeve.
Why hadn’t Anna noticed before that Senior Quinn was interested in her?
Was she blind back then?
If she had realized earlier, perhaps he would have been her first love.
Eighteen-year-old Anna was quite fond of the gentle and gracious "male god" persona, and now she heard that he beca a doctor.
What a pity! What a pity that tis have changed!
"Senior, I have things to do, so I’ll be leaving first."
"Wait, Anna!" Chase called her, catching up, "Can you leave a contact number?"
"..."
"I an, we’re old classmates, maybe we can et up soti."
So eager now, where were you back then?
Anna secretly thought in her heart but was pondering how to reject him.
Senior Quinn’s intentions were clear, Anna knew she always had many admirers, but she’s been busy lately. Whatever she can nip in the bud, she does so to avoid trouble.
"Anna, is it inconvenient for you?" Chase noticed Anna’s troubled expression, "I know you’re a celebrity now, and contacts shouldn’t be easily exposed. But I’m not the type to bother you, don’t you trust your senior? Years ago, there was an issue with Uncle Thornton’s tombstone, I discussed it with the cetery staff to handle it, tried contacting you but couldn’t reach you."
"You’ve visited my dad’s grave?"
"Every Qingming Festival, I visit."
Dang! Just for the sentint of him visiting and helping with her father’s grave every Qingming Festival.
Anna couldn’t very well refuse to give him her contact!
Moreover, Chase had already taken out his phone, looking hopefully at Anna: "Let’s add each other as friends."
Anna had just let Chase scan her QR code.
Right at that mont, Angela suddenly rushed over and pushed her.
"Cousin, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!"
"I... What kind of person?" Anna asked, confused.
"You were flirting with my boyfriend behind my back! I know you liked Senior Quinn before, but I treated you like a close sister, how could you compete with ?"
Angela’s voice was loud, and since she was the star today, many guests were drawn over.
Upon hearing this, Anna calmly blocked Chase in front of everyone: "I’m sorry, I didn’t know."
She turned away and left imdiately after speaking!
Chase wanted to explain but was held back by Angela: "Senior..."
"Angela, what were you just saying to Anna? When did I beco your boyfriend?"
"Today! You ca today for , you know my feelings for you, and you danced the opening dance with ..."
"I only ca to see if I could run into Anna. Regarding your feelings, if the opening dance caused a misunderstanding, let give you a clear answer now, I can’t accept you!"
"Why not accept ? Is it because of Anna?"
Chase had no ti to answer Angela’s question, directly shrugging her off and ran off in the direction Anna left.
"Senior Quinn! Co back!" Angela stomped her feet angrily, "Just what am I lacking compared to her?"
...
Conrad Sterling ca to find Anna!
He arrived at the amusent park, preparing to ask for Anna’s exact location.
Who would have thought that when he glanced up, a silhouette in a white gauze dress unexpectedly crashed into his view.
The scene from Anna’s eighteenth birthday, when she erged from the Ferris wheel in a stunning appearance, had been etched into Conrad’s mind.
The man’s heart moved, and instinctively he followed.
Right then, the figure walking in front of him stepped on her hem, losing balance abruptly.
"Oh no!" Angela cried out in surprise, about to fall.
Wearing such an expensive dress today, and having been rejected by a "male god,"
If she fell, it would be embarrassing.
Fortunately, in the next second, a strong hand steadily supported her.
