He placed the knot of hearts in his palm, looking at it for a long time.
It wasn’t until the restaurant’s waiter knocked and entered that he finally looked away.
"Let’s eat first, after dinner we’ll cut the cake together." Will Caddel lifted the corners of his lips, his face gentle.
Jasmine Yale put away the knot of hearts, feeling cheerful: "Okay, let’s eat first."
Actually, she hadn’t planned to celebrate her birthday, but since she knew today was her birthday, having someone with her made her content.
Celebrating a birthday doesn’t need to be lonely.
The pickled fish tasted pretty good; Jasmine Yale ate with great relish. She chatted with Will Caddel about the schedule for the next day.
"There’s no rush for tomorrow’s schedule, in the morning I’ll take you to a teahouse for breakfast. There’s a tea restaurant here that’s very famous, the taste is excellent, I’ll take you." Will Caddel said.
"Sure, I haven’t had a proper breakfast for a long time."
"Let’s talk about it tomorrow morning. I’ll drive you there. The dress you’re wearing tonight is quite pretty, much better than the business attire during the day. Actually, you don’t have to be so restrained; business suits aren’t really suitable for you."
"But in some occasions, it’s better to wear a suit."
"Suits make you look five years older; Old York is a city full of fashion. If we have time in the next few days, I’ll accompany you to buy some clothes."
"Really? I haven’t seen CEO Caddel’s taste in fashion yet."
"The schedule isn’t too tight these days, we have free evenings. I’ll make some arrangements, just have your bank card ready. Is your money enough? If not, I’ll advance you some salary."
"It’s enough, the salary ZR gives me is quite high, higher than any previous job. I don’t usually spend much, so I’ve saved quite a bit."
"Saving money? Why would a girl save money?"
"People always have occasional needs, saving some money makes me feel secure," Jasmine Yale said while eating.
Will Caddel smiled faintly.
Jasmine Yale picked up a piece of fish and carefully removed the bones.
The night wind was fresh and gentle, and sitting in the private room, they could still hear the bustling sounds outside.
Outside, the lights were bright, overshadowing the moon and stars, dazzling and surreal, giving a feeling of being in a dream.
Sometimes Jasmine Yale chatted about work with Will Caddel, sometimes about the schedule, but they hardly mentioned family matters, except for occasionally asking about Little Clementine.
The window was open, a breeze blew in, swaying the curtains.
The pickled fish was very spicy, Jasmine Yale ate with enthusiasm, constantly drinking water.
Will Caddel could handle spicy food better and sometimes laughed when he saw her sticking out her tongue from the heat.
"You insisted on ordering something so spicy," Will Caddel said.
"Don’t you think this is more exciting?"
"Hmm... exciting, you’re right."
Jasmine Yale also laughed.
Eating and chatting, time passed quickly.
After the meal, Will Caddel helped her with the birthday cake.
"I’ll help you light the candles later, turn off the lights, and you can make a wish." He looked at her quite seriously.
"Sure."
"Let’s begin then."
Will Caddel took out a lighter and carefully lit the candles, one by one.
With the candles lit, the light went out.
Jasmine Yale stood before the candles, clasped her hands together, and made a simple wish: May Little Clementine grow up healthy and happy.
Wishes that are too extravagant aren’t easy to realize, so just make a simple one, that’s enough.
