My Heart only Beats for You

Yesseca spent the entire night wrestling with this dilemma.

In the morning, Kylin sent Yesseca to work.

On the way, Kylin suddenly asked Yesseca a question. He asked her what she wanted.

Yesseca's mind was in such a mess that she did not even think about why he had asked her that question. She replied nonchalantly, "I don't want anything." "Yesseca, think about it." Kylin looked into Yesseca's eyes seriously. "Tellwhat you want the most." Yesseca could not think of anything.

All she could think about was whether she should marry him! However, Kylin pushed Yesseca for an answer.

Feeling like she had no other choice, she responded: "When I was young, I read a fairy tale. A little girl had stumbled upon a house that was made of chocolate, biscuits and so on. The little girl happily ate as much as she wanted. At that time, I wished I had a house like that too." Kylin burst out laughing.

He had no idea how much of a foodie Yessica was.

"That's what you want the most?" Kylin asked.

Yesseca nodded.

Kylin did not say anything else after that.

In the blink of an eye, it was the following day.

Yesseca still did not have an answer.

It felt like she had two tiny people fighting in her head.

"Yesseca, you should marry Kylin right away. He treats you so well, and you know how Tremaine hasn't given up on you yet! If he comes around and kisses or hugs you, won't you feel bad about betraying Kylin?" "There's no need to rush into marriage just to get Tremaine to give up. You can try talking to Tremaine about it. There's no need to get married out of fear." "But you're going to get married anyway, sooner or later!" "Even though you say that, it still feels weird." These two tiny figures kept arguing, but they could not cto a conclusion. Yesseca was going to die of frustration soon.

When Kylin dropped Yesseca off at work that morning he told her something.

He told her to invite all her friends over for a party when she was done with work.

Yesseca was surprised.

She asked, confused, "Is today a special day? Why are you suddenly throwing a party?" Even asking her to invite all her friends.

Kylin looked at Yesseca and smiled, "Because it's your birthday today." Yesseca was quiet.

God, what kind of life was she living? Her mind was so filled with thoughts of marrying Kylin that she had forgotten her own birthday! It really was her birthday! It was her 21st birthday.

Kylin said gently, "I wanted to ask you to take the day off, but I know how much you love your job. You normally get off work early anyway, so we have the night to celebrate. Ask your friends to calong." Yesseca gulped.

She had forgotten about her birthday. She hadn't expected Kylin to remember and to prepare a party for her too. Yesseca wanted to tell him that there was no need to have a party. She was happy enough to celebrate over a simple meal.

After thinking about it, however, she decided not to.

Kyi in was kind enough to throw her a birthday party. How could she upset him like that? She said, "Okay, then. Thank you, I'm really happy." Kyi in looked at her lovingly. "No need to thank me. It's my duty as your boyfriend. Selina and Matthew will be there too, to celebrate with you." Yesseca had arrived at work pretty early, so she didn't head over to her counter just yet.

Instead, she went up to the roof of the mall.

The rooftop was pretty high up and empty. Standing up here, she could see the entirety of Agaphen City. However, Yesseca didn't chere to enjoy the scenery.

She put her palms together and looked up at the sky. "Lothar, today is my 21st birthday. If Kyi in hadn't told me, I wouldn't even have remembered." In the past, Lothar was always there to celebrate with her.

He would personally bake her a birthday cake.

He would make a chocolate cake with white frosting and candied sprinkles.

Aside from that, he would also buy her lots of candies.

This year, however, bother wouldn't be here to celebrate with her.

Her eyes welled up and turned red.

She took a deep breath and tried to smile. "Lothar, although you can't be with me, you can rest easy, it will still be a great birthday. Someone has prepared a party just for me. It's my first tcelebrating my birthday like this. I'm really happy. I'm sure you're also very happy for me, aren't you?" Several white clouds floated about in the blue sky.

She felt t sof It was a silhouette of Lothar.

clouds suddenly started forming into a shape.

Yesseca continued, "Lothar, you must be very happy up there knowing that someone will take care ofand love me. You should feel just as happy and at ease as am." The rooftop was a very large space.

So when Yesseca cup here, she didn't notice that there was someone else standing on the other end of the roof.

The other person hadn't noticed her either.

It was Preslie.

She was looking up at the sky with that my her palms together. "Dear God, today is my twentieth birthday. I hope you'll answer my prayers. I pray that I'll be able to get a boyfriend and becprettier, and I pray sister will stop making fun of me, callingan ugly spinster. It makessad, really." She had asked for a lot of things, but there weren't any signs from God.

Preslie put her hands down.

There was a trace of bitterness in her eyes.

It was the severy year. Every year on her birthday she would make aprayer to God.

Perhaps she was just too insignificant. That's why God never noticed her and therefore never answered her prayers. That morning, Yesseca invited two people to her birthday party.

These were her two best friends from work.

One of them was Preslie.

The other was Cassie.

Cassie and Yesseca's counters were close by, so Yesseca invited her first.

She couldn't make it, though.

Her child had a cold and she needed to take care of him.

Yesseca felt a little sad.

After that, she went to look for Preslie.

She guessed that Preslie would be happy to attend.

Because Preslie loved to have fun.

However, she was surprised to see her look so shocked.

After a moment, she said, "Yesseca, it's your birthday today."

"Yeah, it's my 21st birthday," Yesseca said. "But Kyi in had to remindabout it. If he hadn't mentioned it, I En. wouldn't have remembered." Preslie looked a little bit strangely at her. "Did he organize the party for you too?" Yesseca nodded.

Preslie felt a little bitter.

She spent her birthdays alone every year.

Because no one ever celebrated her birthday.
