Ren and Scarlett were currently in their house, or more precisely, they were in the living room.
After dealing with Owen and the others, they went straight ho and spent ti in the living room.
They did not discuss the previous incident because it would ruin their mood.
"Where are you going?" Ren inquired.
"I forgot that aunt Evie ordered twenty chicken eggs." She responded, "I also want to buy poultry feed because our supplies are running out."
"Let do it." he wanted her to stay in their house because sothing bad almost happened to her earlier.
"Alright." She agreed imdiately.
Right after he left, Scarlett headed to the kitchen.
’Then I will try to make a birthday cake again.’
She was alone, so it was a perfect ti to learn how to make a birthday cake.
’I won’t fail again today.’
----
Ti went by quickly and without realizing it, Ren’s birthday had finally co. At this mont, Scarlett was looking at the birthday cake with a happy face.
After failing several tis, she finally managed to make a delicious birthday cake, so her heart throbbed with happiness because her efforts were not in vain.
’It’s already 11:00 am. Ren will return ho soon.’
She took the birthday cake and headed to the living room, waiting for him and checking the outside through the windows.
Fifteen minutes later, Ren returned ho.
Scarlett imdiately lit the candles and rose to her feet, holding the birthday cake and waiting behind the door.
At the sa ti, Ren walked with a smile on his face.
No!
He did not know what Scarlett was going to do.
He even forgot it was his birthday.
He smiled because he bought three ice creams for her.
After all, Scarlett liked ice cream.
"I’m ho." He uttered.
Right after he opened the door, Scarlett said, "Happy birthday, Ren!"
The expression of deep shock blossod on his face when he saw her holding a birthday cake.
’Happy birthday?’
He suddenly rembered it was his birthday.
’Ah, right. Today is my birthday.’
His surprised face turned into a smile.
He was happy.
But what made him happiest was that Scarlett rembered his birthday and gave him a birthday surprise.
He had never celebrated his birthday before, so happiness swelled within him.
"Ren, blow out the candles and make a wish." Scarlett uttered.
Ren blew out the candles and made a wish. "I hope Scarlett and I will be happy every day from today onwards."
The smile on her face grew bigger because he did not forget her even when he made a wish.
"Let’s eat the cake now." After sitting on a bamboo chair, she put the cake on the table.
Scarlett fed him the birthday cake, making him feel happier.
"How is it, Ren? Is it delicious?" she inquired.
"It’s delicious!" he responded, "Did you make this birthday cake?"
"Yes. I learned how to make a birthday cake when you were not at ho." She nodded her head happily because he said the birthday cake was delicious.
"Thank you, Scarlett." He took the spoon and fed her. "Here, eat the cake with ."
She did not refuse and ate the cake.
The duo consud the cake with happy faces, and that day beca one of the best days of their lives.
----
Ti went by quickly and without realizing it, they had been in the illusion world for sixty years.
At this mont, both Scarlett and Ren were seventy years old.
The duo was not alone now because they had one son and one daughter.
Their nas were Finley Ren and Freya Ren.
They did not have a family na before, so they used his na as their family na because he was the family head.
"Scarlett, do you regret being with in this life?" Ren inquired.
Ren and Scarlett were currently on the terrace.
They were sitting on bamboo chairs next to each other.
"No." she shook her head. "Being with you is the most beautiful thing in my life."
"Scarlett, let’s be together again in the next life." After saying that, Ren closed his eyes forever.
"Ren, go to your bed if you want to sleep." She still did not notice that he had passed away because he looked like he was only sleeping.
But after several seconds, she finally realized that Ren had gone forever.
"Ren..." tears of sadness fell down her wrinkled cheeks.
Ren was half of her soul, so her body could not suppress the imnse sadness when she realized that he had passed away, causing tears of sadness to co out of her eyes on their own.
’Ren...’
She held his hands and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
At the sa ti, her children entered the front yard with happy faces.
They had just harvested delicious fruit, so they wanted to eat it with their parents.
"Mother, what’s wrong?" Finley and Freya dropped the fruits in their hands and rushed toward their mother.
With tears in her eyes, Scarlett looked at her children. "Your father has passed away. He is gone forever."
Tears of sadness fell down their cheeks.
Like Scarlett, they could not suppress the sadness in their hearts because they really loved their father.
Actually, they were adults and of marriageable age, but they remained single and stayed with their parents because they wanted to take care of their parents and be with them.
"Waah..." Freya cried loudly.
As her body was expressing the imnse sadness in her heart, mories of her with her father appeared in her mind.
Her father’s gentle behavior, her father’s unconditional love, her father’s soft smile; everything she had been through with her father ca to her mind.
The sadness in her heart grew bigger as she rembered her ti with her father, causing her to cry even louder.
Finley, who tried his best not to cry, kept wiping off his tears.
The more he wiped off his tears, the harder the tears ca out of his eyes. He was the only man in the house now, so he tried his best to stay strong.
However, his efforts were in vain when mories of him spending ti with his father ca into his mind.
He loved his father very much, so his body could not endure the sadness in his heart.
’Father...father...’
He kept wiping off his tears as he held his father’s left hand.
At that ti, he looked like a kid, not soone of twenty-one years of age.
Of course, this was normal because everyone would cry when their family mbers passed away, including Finley.
Scarlett, who saw her children, touched their shoulders.
"Let’s change his clothes and bury him." Scarlett’s voice was filled with sadness.
Even though she wanted to be with him forever, they had to bury him because they wanted him to rest in peace.
"Un." Her children nodded their heads.
----
Several ters from Scarlett’s house.
Scarlett and her children were standing in front of Ren’s grave.
Like before, sadness enveloped their hearts.
Ren had left them forever, so their eyes were still prickling with tears.
"Father..." Freya and Finley cried again because they could not see their father anymore.
Scarlett slowly lifted her head, looking at the sky.
’Ren, let’s be together again in our next life.’
