Chapter14 His Birthday
There was only one room left in this homestay. Seeing that they were a couple, the landlord warmly received them.
The room was a bit crude, and Carlisle felt he had nowhere to sit. He had never lived in such a shabby room.
Helene saw his dislike and borrowed another set of clean sheets from the landlord to change.
Helene was busy all by herself, and Carlisle watched from the side. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but that he’d never done these things.
Helene didn’t complain. She was probably used to taking care of others. Under her meticulous care, her younger brother Zion and ex-boyfriend Diego had become “unable to take care of themselves”.
After she tidied up the room, the landlord brought over two
sandwiches.
Carlisle lost his appetite instantly when he saw the food.
He collapsed on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and suddenly received a birthday greeting from the Italy in his email.
His hands trembled.
He opened the email and saw a familiar name, Sylvan Garcia.
“What are you looking at?” Seeing Carlisle was in a daze,

Helene walked over with the sandwiches.’
Carlisle immediately closed the mailbox.
He said, “My friend sent me a birthday greeting.”
“Your birthday is today?” Helene was surprised.

She looked at the sandwiches in her hands and felt Carlisle deserved better on his birthday.
Suddenly she thought of something, put down the sandwiches, and left the room.
The sea wind whizzed outside the window when the rainstorm came, and thunder and lightning flashed. Raindrops crackled on the glass, which made people tremble with fear.
At this time, a thunderbolt flashed across, and the power grid of the small fishing village was struck by lightning, and it instantly plunged into darkness.
Carlisle, who had fallen asleep, sat up from the sofa and panicked.
“Helene, where are you?” After shouting for a long time but getting no response, Carlisle got up and went to look for her.
At this time, the door opened.
Helene walked in with a handmade cake.
A dozen candles were stuck on the cake. Under the
candlelight, Helene’s face was shrouded in a warm halo, and she walked towards Carlisle like an angel.
Helene sang the birthday song softly, “Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you…”
Carlisle stood there blankly.

He hadn’t celebrated his birthday for twenty years. Except for a few people close to him, no one knew about his birthday, and he’d never mentioned it to others..
“Helene, thank you. But I’ve never celebrated my birthday since my parents passed away.” Carlisle said coldly, suppressing his inner emotions.
Helene stopped in her tracks.
She looked at the pained expression on Carlisle’s face and felt the same way.
“Carlisle, I know the pain of losing parents, but today is your birthday. Your parents must be watching you in heaven. They hope you are safe and happy and don’t want to see you in such pain. So for their sake, you have to treat you well.”
“You won’t understand my pain.”
“No, I have experienced your pain. When I learned that I was a child picked up by my grandmother at the seaside and my parents had abandoned me, my pain was no less than yours.
“My parents are still alive, but I haven’t enjoyed my parent’s love for a day. I didn’t have it before and won’t have it in the future. So, at least you are luckier than me.”
Carlisle was slightly moved, “You never thought of going to find them?”
Helene shook her head.

“There are so many people in the world. Where can I find them? Can I get their love back after I find them?”
“Well, do you hate them?”
“No. I believe that no parents in this world don’t love their children. They must have their difficulties. So all I can do is to live well and see the world.”
Helene put the cake on the table.
“I don’t know my birthday, so I never celebrate it. How about we celebrate the birthday together today?
“This is a cake I made myself. Come and try it!”
Carlisle walked over. Looking at the birthday cake that wasn’t good but was carefully prepared, he couldn’t help feeling moved.
“Let’s make a wish together.” Helene closed her eyes and began to make a wish.
At this moment, the room was surprisingly quiet, as if only the two of them were in the world.
Looking at Helene’s delicate face under the candlelight, Carlisle slowly closed his eyes.
Helene made three wishes.
When she opened her eyes, she found Carlisle staring at her blankly.
“Have you made a wish?”
Carlisle nodded.

“Well, how about we exchange our wishes? I’ll use my phone to send you my wishes, and you will send yours to me.” Helene sent her three wishes to him.
But Carlisle did not move for a long time.
“Why don’t you send it to me?”
“My wish can’t be fulfilled.” Carlisle’s only wish now was to hope that His grandpa could live a long life.
“Sometimes wishes are not made to come true.”
Carlisle looked up in surprise and met Helene’s bright eyes.
“A wish is meant to give people the courage to live, to make them brave, strong, and not afraid of difficulties and
obstacles.
“Even if we can’t fulfill it in the end, we won’t regret it because we have worked hard. People are tiny, and we can decide very few things, so don’t be too harsh on yourself in many cases. Just do your best.”
Carlisle had never expected a young girl who had just graduated to know so many things.
He now somewhat understood why his grandpa had chosen Helene out of so many applicants at a glance.
Maybe Helene was not the best, but her experience made her the most suitable person for Carlisle.
Helene handed the knife to Carlisle and asked him to cut the
cake.
Carlisle came over, hugged Helene from behind, and held her

hand simultaneously. “Let’s cut it together.”
Helene’s heart beat faster.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Carlisle seemed just like her, with a quick heartbeat and shortness of breath.
Moreover, their hands holding the knife trembled slightly, and they didn’t even cut out a complete cake.
Helene didn’t know whose hand was shaking. She tried her best to focus on the cake, but the heartbeat of him behind her was beating fast, distracting her.
The whole process of cutting the cake was quick, but Helene felt it was very long. It was so long that her palms were sweating.
It was the first time Helene had tasted a birthday cake, and she had made it herself.
This was all because she liked seeing how the chef made cakes every time she passed a cake shop. It just so happened that the daughter of the owner of this homestay sold cakes made on-site on TikTok with all ingredients and tools
available.
The cake was delicious.
Carlisle didn’t like sweets, so he only ate two small pieces. But he ate up the sandwiches Helene had put on the table.
The storm became more and more violent.
