FreeNovelAs midnight neared, Jonathan flicked on his phone, watching the minutes tick by. A thought struck him, and he accessed theconnected to Estelle’s necklace. Her body temperature and pulse were off. He frowned slightly.
Had she taken the necklace off again? He'd noticed she often removed it before bed, and when he'd asked her about it, she'd said wearing anything to sleep was uncomfortable. But even in slumber, he wanted to feel her heartbeat. After all, she wasn’t in his arms tonight. He sighed lightly, waiting for the clock to strike twelve before sending Estelle a message, [Honey, happy birthday!] The next day, as usual, Estelle was woken up by Lambert around nine in the morning. This time, it took her longer than usual to caround, and when she did, her eyes were clouded with confusion. “Rella?” Lambert looked at her, concerned. Estelle turned to him, her gaze flickering, “Lambert?” He nodded immediately, “It's me.” She seemed puzzled, “What are you doing here? What happened to me?” Lambert's heart skipped a beat, his expression softened, and his voice was gentler, “You were having a nightmare. | just woke you up!” “Really?” Estelle lifted a weary hand to her forehead. She used to remember her nightmares clearly upon waking, but today, she couldn't recall a thing. All she felt was exhaustion and a desire to keep sleeping.

Estelle was nonchalant, “Please leave, I'd like to take a bath.” “Sure, cdown for breakfast after your bath.” Lambert got up, his eyes casually flicking to her phone, and he asked with an easy smile, “Is it your birthday today?” “Hm?” Estelle looked up. Lambert pointed to her phone, “I just saw the reminder on your phone. It's your birthday, isn’t it?” Estelle realized suddenly that it was indeed the 29th! Lambert said with enthusiasm, “Why didn’t you mention it earlier? | would have prepared a gift!” Estelle chuckled, “Another ten-carat diamond?” His eyes deepened, “If you like, | can do a hundred carats!” Estelle scoffed, “Does your family own a diamond mine or something?” Lambert nodded, “Actually, yes!” Estelle was speechless.
