Chapter 23
I couldn’t remember when it was, I had a severe headache, I just know that Bernard in front of me was so gentle.
Bernard supported my shoulders and fed me porridge.”
I leaned on his shoulders and the familiar cedar scent filled my nostrils.
I subconsciously rubbed against his arms.
“Bernard… I want to eat the cake you made. When you and Hanley were in love, you made cakes for her every birthday, but you never made cakes for me on my birthday… I don’t care, I want to eat it!”
Bernard froze for a moment and didn’t speak for a while.
I rubbed him again in dissatisfaction.
Bernard seemed to have no other options and he lowered his head and gently kissed my eyelashes.
“Wait for me.“}
The door closed with a “click” and I fell into a coma again, with a severe headache.
I woke up in a familiar room, a one–to–one replica of the room in my home before I got married.”
My heart skipped a beat for no reason.
How could this happen? This house was sold after my mother died.
Could I be reborn?”
As soon as this absurd idea popped up in my mind, the door of the room opened.
“Hadley, I have made the cake you want to eat, come out and eat it quickly, it won’t taste good if it’s kept for a long time.“}
Bernard, 50 years old.
The joy that just surged between my eyebrows was extinguished bit by bit.
I squinted my eyes, stood up and walked out and asked him coldly, “What cake?”
Bernard was stunned for a moment. “No… Aren’t you jealous that Hanley can eat the cake I made for her every birthday? Hadley, please forgive me. From now on, I will only make cakes for you and our relationship will never be interfered with by others.“}
“Did I say that?“N
Bernard’s face changed again.
I looked at the exquisite cake in the living room and suddenly a sour feeling welled up in my heart.”
I had only eaten the cake made by Bernard once from beginning to end.
This was the second time he made it for me.§
After 20 years of marriage, every time I saw Hanley posting on WhatsApp’s status to show off the cake Bernard made for her, I was jealous and crazy at first, but later I became numb.
Every time I asked him to make it for me, he always used trouble and busyness to shirk.
Except this time, the only time he made it for me was when he made me angry when we were in love and I got angry in the middle of the night and insisted on eating cake.
He made it for me and I gave him a way out.
This time, he didn’t think that I was giving him a way out again and wanted to reconcile with him, right?
Thinking of this, my face became extremely ugly.
He had a beautiful thought.
“I’ll leave first.“2
Bernard grabbed my wrist.
“Don’t go, Hadley! i made the cake for a long time, don’t you like it? At least have some, okay?”
I said word by word, “No!“&
“Hadley! Let’s sit down and talk. I saved you this time, are you really so cruel?“}
I shook him off fiercely.
“You owe me this! Today is the Excellence Award, I don’t have time to waste with you, give me my sample clothes!”
Bernard took two steps back, looking at me with eyes full of sadness.
“Hadley, you were not like this before…”
I was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, rummaged through the boxes in the house and found the sample clothes that were burned by the fire in the closet.
I was in a worse mood.
“Hadley, can you take the cake back? Just consider it as my apology to you… You said a lot of things when you were unconscious. I really ignored your feelings over the years. I, I don’t know how to make it up to you.”
Bernard handed me the cake stubbornly.
I lowered my eyes and looked at the cake that I had been looking forward to for twenty years but could not get, but now I had it so easily. I held the dress that I rescued from the fire and pushed the door straight out.
