Chapter 347 It Was His Birthday

Taking a slight breath, I couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. I really didn't know that today was Daniel's birthday. He had mentioned to me before, seemingly wanting to have dinner together today, but I had some reservations and made an excuse to reschedule with him.

He probably wanted to invite me to celebrate his birthday with him, but I declined.

Seeing that I remained silent, Sebastian's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I don't know what's wrong with the sir today. His uncles who took care of him before said that he never celebrated his birthday. Today, he had a cake prepared, stared at it for a while, and then, for some reason, didn't eat a bite. He went outside, saying he wanted to watch the snow, and stayed there for over two hours. Ms. Conner, I really don't know who to call. Recently, I can tell that the sir gets along well with you, he truly considers you a friend. Could you persuade him? His health is important."

After a moment of silence, I said into the phone, "Alright, I understand."

Hearing my answer, Sebastian thanked me and then hung up the phone.

Holding my phone, I didn't call Daniel directly. He had just called me, perhaps he was feeling upset and wanted to talk to me, but I didn't notice, so he hung up.

If I were to call him now, wouldn't it be too obvious to tell him that Sebastian had called me?

Daniel must have been a proud man. If he knew that Sebastian had

spoken to me about these things, he probably wouldn't have listened to what I said to him on the phone.

After some thought, I went into the cloakroom and changed my clothes.

Half an hour later.

Luckily, I had been to Daniel's villa before and had some impression of it. After parking the car, I got out and rang the doorbell at the front gate. Soon, someone came to open the door.

The person who opened the door was Sebastian. Seeing he paused for a moment, then his handsome mouth curled up, "Ms. Conner, what brings you here?"

Waving a handful of lollipops, I laughed and said, "Of course, I'm here to celebrate Mr. Monroe's birthday with you all. What, you're not welcoming me?"

He quickly shook his head, stepping back to make way for me. He led me into the vast villa yard of Daniel.

A day's heavy snow had almost covered the entire city, and Daniel's villa was no exception. The vast courtyard of the villa was a vast expanse of white, except for the stone path that had been deliberately shoveled. Looking around, the vast yard was full of high and low snow, somewhat like a scene from a fairy tale.

Daniel was watching the snow in the gazebo in the yard. He was sitting in a wheelchair, his legs covered with a white blanket. Perhaps because he had been outside for too long, his face had an abnormal red flush.

The man was handsome, his neat, short hair covering his forehead. I was following behind Sebastian, catching only glimpses of his thin profile and slightly cold figure.

What he was thinking. His handsome face was somewhat vacant, his eyes subtly revealing a sense of sorrow and loneliness.

"We've been sitting here too long now, he won't let us get close, you go!" Sebastian stood outside the gazebo and spoke in a low voice.

I nodded, tiptoed up to the pavilion, and before I had taken a few steps, a harsh reprimand came, "Get out!"

It was Daniel's voice, cold and indifferent, allowing no room for hesitation.

I was startled for a moment, but thinking of Sebastian's words, I couldn't help but feel that Daniel seemed a bit lonely and desolate at this time. People are like this, unwilling to let others peek into the loneliness and weakness deep in their hearts. Daniel was probably just like that.

Walking up behind Daniel, I placed the lollipop I was holding in his arms, standing behind him I said, "So fierce, it seems I shouldn't have come, then I'll go back first."

His body visibly stiffened, he turned around to look at me. Seeing me, he seemed particularly surprised, a moment of bewilderment on his handsome face. He asked, "How did you get here?"

I pursed my lips, hands behind my back, looking at him and said, "Isn't it your birthday tonight? I came to celebrate with you, but judging by your expression, it seems like you're not too welcoming. In that case, I'll leave first."

After speaking, I made a move to leave.

He quickly spoke up, "Wait a moment."

I turned to look at him, holding back a laugh. He pursed his lips and

said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you earlier. Those words weren't meant for you."

I was angry and said, "Did you say everything you had to say to me?"
