Olivia quickly looked toward the door.

"What's wrong?"

Logan usually abided by the rules and wouldn't bother her when she was resting.

"I ..Ms.Fordham, are you asleep? I'm sorry to bother you."

Olivia wasn't asleep yet, so she figured she might as well see what Logan wanted.

She got up and made herself presentable before she opened the door.

Her voice trailed off abruptly.

Logan was holding a cake with scandles on it.

The candlelight illuminated his face and flickered in his eyes.

"It might be a little late, Ms.Fordham, but birthdays are important.You shouldn't ignore them."

It was exactly 11:59 pm at the moment.

Logan probably made the cake himself.

There were still traces of flour and cream on his face.

"Thanks."

Olivia was moved.

"It's almost 12:00 am.You should make a wish and blow the candle out, Ms.Fordham."

She didn't make a fuss and quickly closed her eyes to make her wish.She wanted to be reunited with her children as soon as possible.She blew the candles out after she made her wish.

The twas 12:00 am.

The room fell into darkness after the candles were blown out.

For sreason, she felt like Logan's voice was more solemn in the dark.

"One moment.I'll go turn on the lights.Be careful not to fall over."

The lights were switched on.

Olivia noticed that there was a plate of pasta on the table.

"Ms.Fordham, it was a tradition back in our hometown to eat spasta on our birthdays,"

Logan explained.

Olivia didn’t expect him to do so much for her while she was resting.

"You ...don't really have to do all these for me."

"I still need to express my gratitude to you for givinga job.Or else I won't be able to fund my mother's retirement.A cake and spasta aren't that much trouble.

"The only issue is that this is my first tbaking a cake.I had to follow a tutorial to make it.It might not be good.The cake might be a little burnt.You can just eat the pasta."

Olivia didn't have the heart to turn down his kindness.

"Okay.They went to sit at the table.Olivia looked at the pasta that looked and smelled delicious.

The first thought that cto her mind was still Ethan.He made a plate of pasta for her on her birthday once.

That was when they were just married.

Back then, he would go on business trips occasionally.

She thought he wouldn't be able to make it in tfor her birthday.

But he woke her up at 11:50 pm and handed her a plate of pasta.

He said it would bring good luck if she ate pasta on her birthday.

She laughed at him for being a superstitious old geezer and finished the dish joyfully.

He did love her a lot back then.

He also gave her whatever she wanted.

That was why she would still think about him despite all the things he had done to her."What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"

Olivia took a few more bites and said, "No.It tastes pretty good.Thank you for being so thoughtful.I'll be sure to add a bonus to your pay this month."

Logan scratched his head.

"You're so generous.Thank you in advance, Ms.Fordham."

"I'm the one who should thank you."

Olivia continued to eat the pasta.

Logan asked softly, "Are you going to eat the cake? I kind of failed at it.Can I eat it? I don't want it to go to waste."

Olivia looked at that tiny cake.

It was a simple one with swords written in cream, wishing her a happy birthday and good health.

Logan wasn't good with words.

The words were also slightly distorted.

Olivia smiled.

"Sure, but leave a slice for me.I wouldn't want your efforts to go to waste."

"Okay."

It was midnight.

Olivia and Logan were eating cake and pasta.

It was a simple gesture, but her mood improved immensely.She went to the yard to sit for a little before returning to her room, satisfied.

"Thanks for today."

Before she could close the door, Logan suddenly held the door open and said, "Please wait ..."
