Chapter 4
They all said that Dalton was crazy.
I was extremely firm in my attitude towards my marriage.
Even though he couldn’t bring any benefits, he clung on like a wild dog and wouldn’t let go.
“Ah, maybe I liked Amelia, who knows.”
“Then you must have been ignorant, do you remember the sensational kidnapping case that happened back then?”
“Dalton, he almost got kicked out. Guess what happened when he came back? The Lyth family didn’t even bother to ask, just because he didn’t protect Amelia well, he got punished again. I’ll tell you, Dalton is getting back at the Lyth family, Amelia’s future days won’t be easy.”
At this moment, I, who was filled with worries about the future, just pushed open the door of Dalton’s office.
” Dalton.”
Dalton had no reputation.
Still, he remained indifferent.
With the reminder from the Wish System, I was no longer afraid of him hating me. I took out a cake, shook it, and said with a smile.
“I came to make up for your birthday.”
Dalton’s eyes were very beautiful, but due to his aloof and taciturn nature, he would often keep them lowered and ignore people.
As I was being stared at by his eyes, my heart started to beat faster.
“I did it for a whole hour!”
The packaging box opened, and I fell silent.
The white cream cake collapsed halfway, with the left side clumsily written with strawberry jam saying ” Dalton “, and the right side saying “me“.
In the middle, a heart was drawn, inside of which was filled with a love that was as earthy as can be.
The person who was making the cake suddenly remembered that it was for someone’s birthday, not

a confession. So, in the remaining blank space, they clumsily squeezed out the four big words. “Happy Birthday” with red jam as a remedy.
Dalton stared at the cake for a while and then looked away.
The Wish System promptly sent a reminder: “Yay! The task progress increased to 20%. But
something is not right.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Based on how much your brother likes you, doing these things would be enough to make him go all out to a hundred percent.”
I couldn’t figure it out.
Dalton suddenly spoke, pulling me back to my thoughts.
“Ethan has looked for me.”
“What did you want me to do?”
Dalton’s face bathed in the sunlight, yet his gaze remained calm.
I suddenly had a premonition that he would say something I didn’t want to hear.
“I would be responsible for you and never bully you. So… there’s no need to go to such an extent, no need to force yourself to like me.”
The candle inserted on the cake couldn’t hold on.
Snap.
The flame suffocated in the cream.
Dalton’s smile was faint. “Also, I don’t have the habit of celebrating birthdays, so there’s no need to bother in the future.”
Wow. The Wish System loves to watch the excitement, and the reason is right here. It feels to deserving, hehe. Host, show him some attitude and let him see that he actually questioned your sincerity.
I was not in the mood to pay attention to the mockery of the Wish System.
He lowered his head and silently picked up the candles that had fallen into the cake.
He inserted many more strands because he was old.

Silence flowed in the air.
Dalton tugged at his tie and looked at the contract that hadn’t been turned over a single page for a
while, and said:
“There’s nothing to do, so just go back. I’ll pick you up in the evening and take you out to eat.”
“Go eat your meal!”
I couldn’t help it and I stabbed the birthday candle covered in cream into Dalton’s suit jacket, angrily shouting, “You bastard, go eat it yourself!”
After saying that, I didn’t even look at Dalton’s expression and lowered my head as I rushed out of
the office.
“Hey, Amelia, I came to see your brother…”
I passed by a woman without paying any attention to her.
The Wish System shouted, “Host! Are you stupid? How could you argue with your brother!”
“What a quarrel! I had spent an hour making that cake! And he didn’t even want to celebrate his
birthday!”
The Wish System hurriedly comforted me, “Oh, it’s alright, it’s just a little deduction in task
progress. We’ll work harder later – What the heck! Why did it increase?”
“What went up?”
“Task progress, huh? Does your brother also like to get angry at you?”
I said gloomily, “Don’t ask me, I don’t know.”
“Maybe the test was wrong.
“By the way, who was the woman who just passed by?”
“Sophie Degth, my brother’s college classmate, was also widely recognized as a potential match for
everyone.”
“Love Rival.”
The Wish System has been summarized in two words.
I remained silent for a moment, turned my head back, and as my hand was halfway to push the door, I stopped.

“So pathetic.”
The Wish System said, “Don’t be weak, let’s just listen at the door.”
I slowly pressed my ear against it and said, “Okay,”
