Aria’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly remembered that the day after tomorrow would be her 26th birthday
Her lips welled up with bitterness, how could it be so coincidental.
The day after tomorrow, it was also the day she departed from this world.
She wanted to say no, but at that moment, Nora hurriedly ran over with an anxious expression.
“Lucas, I was running late for the shoot. Can you give me a ride to the ser?”
Lucas had not returned yet, and Aria spoke up, saying, “You can take her, I’ll go by myself,”
Saying that, he brought down the cardboard box that was originally placed on the car.
“Ria, why do you have so many things? Let me help you,” Nora said, reaching out her hand towards the cardboard box,
The paper box dropped with a ‘plop‘.
Pink love letters with “To Lucas, from Lucy” written on them, as well as their wedding photos, were scattered on the ground.
Nora jokingly said, “Lucas, look, Ria even brought the love letter and wedding photos she gave you. She really loves you, so much that her heart is filled with you.”
If it were in the past, Laras would have had a black lace upon hearing these words, but at this moment, be surprisingly remained calm.
He looked at Aria, who was crouching on the ground picking up things as if they were treasures, with his dark eyes fixedly. The measiness in his heart gradually dissipated.
His lips curved slightly, but his voice remained icy cold. “Let her be.”
After speaking, he opened the car door for Nora and didn’t look at Ark one last time until the car started.

One day later.
Arla’s birthday, which was also her last day on earth.
She waited from dawn till dusk, but Lucas did not show up
The phone suddenly vibrated, and a push notification appeared before her eyes.
Bam! The actress Nora from The Pale Summit crew got injured, and Lucas, the big shot from Valmontis, lost control and princess–carried her onto a helicopter, heading to Seavale.
Aria looked and swore that her heart, which she had promised not to touch again, still trembled violently.
Expected and unexpected.
In the past few years, every time her birthday came, Nora would either suddenly “tall ill” or have an “accident”
She couldn’t remember how many years she had spent celebrating her birthday alone.
No flowers, no family, no friends, and no companionship from a loved one…
Aria took out her phone and called Lucas. The phone rang twice before it was answered.
In the receiver, Lucas’s low and cold voice carried a hint of impatience: “Nora was sick, we’ll pick you up tomorrow to celebrate your birthday.”
“Lucas,
Aria opened her mouth, but before she could finish her words, she received a distressing accusation from Madam Bennett over the phone.
“Ria, your sister had an accident, and you didn’t come to visit. And you’re still thinking about celebrating your birthday! Do you have any conscience at
Immediately after, the busy tone “beep beep beep” announced the end of the call.
Aria was stunned for a moment, looking at the hung–up phone, and then let out a faint smile.
Originally, after no longer expecting, I really couldn’t feel any pain.
She did not disturb Lucas anymore, disturbing their family. Instead, she edited the unfinished words she had just said and sent them
Lucas, on the study desk, there was a gift from me to you.
In the future, we were all free.
All set, she put her phone down and one by one, she threw the items from the cardboard box into the roaring furnace.
The last thing was the longevity lock given to her by her parents
Aria slowly traced her fingers over the words on top “Ria, live a long life.”
–
The voice of my parents‘ doting seemed to ring in my ears again: “Wishing our Ria to grow up safe, healthy, and happy.”
Tears uncontrollably welled up, blurring her vision as she threw the longevity lock into the furnace”
Having experienced love, it is not in vain to come to this life.
Finally, she stood in front of the Christian Icon, slowly lonelt down, clasped her hands together, and devoutly whispered.
“Miss Aria, who was blessed by heaven, temporarily returned to the mortal world. Now, all attachments have been eliminated, and her heart is free from hindrances as she enters the afterlife.”
As if sensing something, she opened her eyes and a halo of Buddha’s light encircled above her head.
The last ray of the setting sun in the West also fell on her gradually transparent body,
Her voice choked, and she whispered to herself, “In the next life, happy birthday to one–year–old Aria.”
As the words fell, her figure completely disappeared from the world.
And the phone she had placed on the ground suddenly lit up, vibrating frantically…
