Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 638: Today Is My Birthday

Nora Northwood really couldn’t stand it any longer, thought of an idea, and grabbed her phone to move closer to Lily Sloan.

"Let’s take a photo together; this trip won’t be in vain then."

The two people in the frame were both taken aback, forcibly squeezed together.

However, they lacked a bit of cooperative spirit.

Nora repeatedly adjusted the angle, reminded them to look at themselves in the frame, and pressed the capture button at some moment.

"I’ll send the photo to your WeChat, remember to check it." After saying that, she darted back to Jasper Sinclair’s side.

The couple secretly observed them from the dark, to see if there was any progress.

Thankfully, they didn’t separate immediately after Nora left.

"Buzz—"

Two phones, almost at the same time, vibrated.

Finnian Lawrence opened the chat window to check, his expression indifferent, even though confined within the screen, emitting a sense of aloofness that made others keep their distance.

After a moment of checking, he clicked on the original photo, saving it with interest in his album, synchronously with Lily Sloan’s actions.

Coincidentally, the time on the screen turned to midnight.

Someone spoke first: "It’s past midnight."

Lily Sloan couldn’t figure out what he meant, tilted her head, and clinked her bottle with his, "It’s a new day, good luck."

As it approached midnight, the temperature plummeted, especially at the foot of the mountain, as if it had returned to autumn.

The charcoal in the fire pit was about to burn out and couldn’t provide warmth, so Lily Sloan was constantly sniffing.

Finnian Lawrence hesitated for a moment, took off his jacket, and draped it over her shoulders.

Handing over clothes shouldn’t be too much, right?

The jacket carried his scent and body heat, making it feel warm.

Not only was there physical warmth, but also warmth in the heart.

The unexpected warmth made her feel slightly drowsy, and Lily Sloan couldn’t help but yawn.

Finnian Lawrence said at the right moment, "I’ll walk you back to your room to rest."

She nodded along, "It’s late, we should head back."

From the yard to the room, it was a walk of three to five minutes, but this time, it was prolonged indefinitely.

They slowly strolled to the door, neither of them saying goodbye first.

After a moment of deadlock, Lily Sloan’s expectations lowered again and again, thinking that there really was no hope between them, then she sighed and said, "This is far enough. You should also rest early, goodbye."

Just as the door was about to close, Finnian Lawrence’s hand suddenly blocked the edge of the door.

In the other’s astonishment, he said a blessing, "Lily, happy birthday."

Visibly, Lily Sloan’s pupils shook.

"How did you know that today is my birthday?"

"It’s filled in your information."

Serendipity Pavilion and VK had business dealings, and the staff responsible for liaison would fill in simple information, leaving a copy as a backup.

However, generally, no one paid attention to the date of birth, at most recording information like phone numbers.

In this way, it was as if Finnian Lawrence himself inadvertently revealed his little thought.

This rekindled Lily Sloan’s lost expectations.

Like the bonfire in the yard, a gust of wind came just as it was about to burn out, making the flames leap up again.

She raised her head, and Finnian Lawrence was looking down at her, his gaze deep, inviting exploration.

In an instant, Lily Sloan’s sleepiness disappeared, and with courage from somewhere, she directly pulled him into the room, saying brightly: "Since it’s my birthday, stay and have a drink, as a celebration."
