Chapter 325
"They were beautiful." Sarah fell silent after that, staring blankly out the window until they reached Melvin's
house.
In the continuing Bentley ride, Mia looked worriedly at her brother. "Is Sarah angry with me?"
Sarah had maintained an expressionless face and hadn't spoken to her.
Zachary patted her head reassuringly. "She's not angry with you. She just doesn't want to see me."
His eyes darkened as he pressed his lips together.
Mia could see her brother's disappointment. The situation was beyond her control now. She'd thought Sarah
would forgive him after seeing the fireworks, but she'd been too naive.
Sarah must have been deeply hurt before to be so angry now. Mia nudged Zachary's arm, pouting. "Brother, you
need to win her back!"
She could sense her brother's recent depression and Sarah's unhappiness. They clearly loved each other, yet
here they were.
Back home, Sarah's mind was filled with thoughts of the fireworks and Zachary's words.
She couldn't be sure if everything Zachary said was true, but she couldn't dismiss it all as lies either.

She knew how cunning Vivian could be, managing to use Linda as a weapon while keeping her own hands clean.
Melvin arrived hat the stime, setting sfruit on the coffee table. "Just got back, Sarah?"
Sarah nodded, still deep in thought about what had happened. Melvin's previous warnings about Vivian probably
stemmed from this.
Melvin gestured at the fruit. "Picked these up at the supermarket. Make sure to have slater."
He put down his briefcase and removed his suit jacket, sitting beside Sarah. "Your birthday's coming up. What
would you like as a gift?"
Birthday?
Sarah felt dazed. When her parents were alive, she'd celebrated her birthday every year. But after marrying
James, the celebrations had stopped.
The irony wasn't lost on her. Each year, she'd meticulously planned elaborate birthday parties for James, Lucy,
and their mother, running herself ragged with preparations. Yet not one of them had ever remembered her
birthday.
Seeing Sarah lost in thought, Melvin pulled her back. "Sarah, why so quiet?"
She snapped out of her reverie. "|

Sarah's heart skipped a beat. Though Melvin hadn't said it directly, she knew he meant Zachary.
She shook her head with a bitter smile. "I'll invite those who should be there, Melvin. And leave out those who
shouldn't."
