Chapter 3
My breathing became more and more rapid, and after taking a few deep breaths, I opened my mouth and spoke as if facing death.
“Happy birthday.”
The room suddenly fell into complete silence.
Dalton’s gaze turned extremely cold.
If it weren’t for the Wish System reminding me that my progress had increased by 5%, I would definitely have dashed off.
“They all forgot your birthday today.”
My tears kept rolling, wiping them away, “I just wanted to celebrate your birthday with you…”
In the dead silence, I mustered up the courage to pull out the only remaining words in my mind to
give Ethan a birthday speech.
“Wishing Dalton to have more years and longer life, and…”
Under Dalton’s expressionless gaze, my voice grew quieter and quieter.
“Spring fills the world, blessings fill the building, for thirty years the spring breeze has brought
rain…”
You blabbermouth!
Stop talking!
In the silence, another layer of awkwardness was added.
Dalton asked in a low voice, “The last sentence.”
“The last sentence…” I avoided eye contact and said, “I forgot…”
The long silence stretched as far as the eye could see.
Dalton did not move for a long time.
The Wish System exploded: “Warning, warning, the target’s heart rate is too fast. Please host continue with the current plan! Also, be careful not to excessively stimulate the target!”
I took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t prepare a cake for you, I’m sorry. I will definitely make it up to you next time.”

Dalton suddenly lowered his head and bit my lip.
With a lingering anger that had not yet dissipated, I was pressed against the wall, and my neck was forcefully gripped, as if to snap it.
My mind was blank.
The alarm of the Wish System had gone off the charts.
It should represent that he really liked me, really liked me.
My body trembled slightly with excitement.
Something broke through from the bottom of the heart and a blooming seed swayed happily with
the breeze.
Dalton didn’t give me any chance to escape, even pressing me against the door, forcing me to cry out for help due to lack of oxygen.
Just a door away, there were dense prejudices and slanders against him.
“Did you hear that?” Dalton said coldly. “What makes you think I wouldn’t hate them?”
“Every word they cursed, you had to bear.”
Wish System laughed heartily: “Deadpan, don’t listen to him. If his heart keeps beating faster, he’ll have to go to the hospital. Host, be careful with your words, don’t actually make your brother have a sudden death.”
I remained silent.
I carefully confirmed with the Wish System my brother’s heart rate: “So when can I say the next sentence?”
“Wait for another half a minute, let him take it easy for now.‘
“Okay!”
Dalton lifted my face, the darkness in his eyes almost drowning me.
My silence seemed to be driving him crazy.
“Are you scared? If you’re scared, then…”
“Dalton, let’s get married.”
The Wish System shouted, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you speak in advance! You’re going to

kill your brother!”
I only knew that people had to seize opportunities.
I pulled his sleeve and said, “I won’t divorce, not even in death. You…you go and tell them.”
The surging emotions in Dalton’s eyes instantly subsided.
He stared at my face intently, his fingers caressing my swollen lips.
“Okay, I went to speak.”
