WantNovelChapter 340
Watching them goof around, Sarah couldn't help but laugh.
As she laughed, she suddenly felt something cold on her face. She looked over to see Mia grinning
mischievously-there was cream on her face.
"Mia, you've turned naughty!" Sarah exclaimed, standing up from her seat and grabbing a plate of cream. She
chased after Mia with playful determination.
Melvin sipped his red wine and smiled as he watched them.
His gaze drifted toward the front door, and he frowned slightly. Was Zachary really not coming?
Earlier, before the cake was brought out, Melvin had noticed the disappointment in Sarah's eyes. Though she
hadn't said anything outright, Melvin, who had watched her grow up, could read her emotions like an open book.
Still, at least she seemed happy now.
Lost in thought, Melvin suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. Turning around, he saw Sarah.
Her hand was already reaching for his cheek. Before he could react, Sarah smeared cream across his face with a
triumphant grin.
"Join the fun, Melvin!" Sarah laughed brightly.
They played and chased each other around for nearly an hour before finally settling down. Once the energy

Mia noticed Sarah's quiet sadness and knew it had to do with her brother. She walked over with Scarlett to cheer
her up. "A new bar just opened. Want to check it out with us?"
Sarah shook her head. "I'm a bit tired. Maybe next time."
“Alright.”
Scarlett and Steven said their goodbyes and left. Before Mia left, she stopped in front of Sarah and said, “Sarah,
I'm really sorry on behalf of my brother. He didn't mean to miss your party. He's been excited about it for days,
but something big must've happened at work. Otherwise, he'd never break his promise."
Sarah gave her a small smile and nodded. "I understand. Go on home-it's getting late."
After seeing everyone off, Sarah returned to the garden. The staff was tidying up, and Melvin approached her
with a glass of red wine.
"Have a drink," he said, offering the glass to her.
Sarah didn't refuse. Her mind was too clear, and she thought a little alcohol might help dull her feelings. She
took the glass and sipped. "Thanks, Melvin."
Sarah's tense expression softened slightly. Her voice was hoarse, and she tried to sound nonchalant. "Of course |
feel a little disappointed, but I'm not that fragile. After | was hurt so deeply before, | spent every night asking
myself what | did wrong. Zachary cto comfort me, even talked about us in front of Vivian, like he was trying
to make up for everything he'd done. | thought maybe he acted the way he did back then to protect me, but
now... | don't know what he's thinking anymore."
"It's my fault," Melvin said lightly.
Sarah gave a faint smile. "What's your fault?"
Melvin lowered his head with a faint
chuckle, his eyes flops wittoregret.

He didn't like seeing Sarah like this.
He had been thinking about it since dinner, replaying the events in his mind.
Sarah let out a small, mocking laugh. "Melvin, you don't have to take it so hard."
She understood that by allowing her to invite Zachary, Melvin had already been looking out for her.
