“Oh, | remember it now. | thought the man looked rather familiar. He was the young man who cthe last time. | beat him with
my cane to teach him a lesson. That's the bastard! | bet he’s up to no good, sneaking around.”
Rachel felt something stirring within. Without changing out of her house slippers, she left home.
In the end, lan could not find the courage to call Rachel.
He was bound to leave in disappointment tonight due to his cowardice.
As he turned away to depart in dejection, a sweet voice cut through him.
“M-Mr. Harris!”
lan looked back and saw Rachel running toward him in her bunny-themed loungewear and a loose bun. The way she looked just
took his breath away.

He stiffly shoved the flowers and gift to Rachel with a silly look.
“Happy birthday!”

“Thank you for the flowers, Mr. Harris, but the gift is too much.”
Rachel said softly and understandingly, “I know you gotthe things because | helped. | returned Ms. Thompson's kindness. It
was the least | could do. Besides, Ms. Thompson has done far more for me, while | don’t know what | can do for Ms. Thompson and
Mr. Salvador.”
Swept by a wave of emotions, Rachel could not stop the tears from falling.
Unable to stop his feelings anymore, lan tearfully held her in his arms. The empty feeling inside him was gone there and then.

The food and drinks were served. The guests had also arrived.
Justin and Bella’s love nest was packed tonight like it was the New Year.
Bella held Carrie while chatting with Steven and Amelia in the living room.
She had also invited Asher and Arnold, but Asher said they could not make it over the phone.
Before Bella hung up, she heard Arnold's sultry voice in the background.
“My back hurts, Ash. Cand givea good rub.”
“Lie down.”
Bella's jaw dropped as her mind went down the gutter.
She wondered if Asher simply could not make it to the party or if he just wanted to be alone with a certain somebody.
Ryan did not want to barge into the ladies’ conversation, so he went to Justin instead.
