Chapter One
Hearing those familiar footsteps approaching, Sofia Hamilton felt hesitant to turn around.
For fear that the person she saw wouldn't be the one she was thinking of, afraid that her heart would be disappointed once again...
But at that moment, the person behind her gently wrapped his arms around her waist, her back pressed against his chest, the familiar scent instantly enveloping her, inexplicably bringing tears to her eyes.
Ryan Gregory tightened his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head as he said softly, "Happy birthday."
He was the first person to wish her a happy birthday!
Right at this 0:01 second mark! Just as her birthday began...
His voice, though tired and husky, was also exceptionally pleasant to the ear, resonant, like jade beads falling on a plate, each note capturing her heart...
Sofia couldn't quite identify her feelings.
She felt like laughing yet wanted to cry...
She turned around to look at him.
