Chapter 5 Steve took the cake out of the fridge .
He dipped a finger into the cream and put it in his mouth , his eyes gazing blankly .
The wind chime hanging by the door rang as a breeze blew through , and Steves eyes lit up with surprise .
Rita , youre back .
Steve turned around , and Evelyn froze for a moment .
But soon , a smile reappeared on her face .
Henrieta hasnt come home this late .
Is she mad at me ? Steve shook his head .
Shes just being 1/9 Chapter 5 +5 Points childish .
Once she calms down , shell come back .
As he spoke , Evelyn had already walked over to Steves side .

He explained to Evelyn , Today isnt my birthday .
Its our wedding anniversary ! Evelyn quickly apologized , but Steve didnt seem to care .

Not remembering his birthday , yet still the untouchable first love .
A pang of bitterness surged in my heart .
Evelyn grabbed the spoon from Steves hand , took a bite , and wrinkled her nose in disgust .
This tastes awful .
When Steve heard that , he frowned slightly .
Its delicious .
His expression grew serious , as if he was defending something precious .
His solemn demeanor sparked a fleeting , unrealistic hope within me .
3/9 Chapter 5 + 5 Points Maybe Steve did care about me after all .
Evelyn asked why there was a cake .
Steve might not have heard , because he didnt answer her .
My thoughts drifted away .
After Evelyn left , even when Steve was with me , he was always moody and withdrawn .
From a young age , I believed that eating cream could make people happy .
I wanted Steve to be happy , so I started learning how to make cakes .
Birthdays , anniversaries , Independence Day , Valentines Day … Every holiday , important or not , I would 4/9 Chapter 5 + 5 Points remember them , and then make a cake .
It had become an unspoken agreement between me and Steve .
I still remember my first cake , which wasnt exactly a success .
But Steve stayed with me and finished the whole thing .
That day , Steve looked at my exhausted face and laughed softly as he pulled me into his arms .
Henrieta , youre so silly .
What makes worth all this trouble ? I happily hugged him back and replied in a cheerful tone , Youre worth it ! Because youre the one I love the most ! 5/9 Chapter 5 + 5 Points At that time , I truly loved him .
I knew full well that he hadnt let go of Evelyn in his heart .
But like a gambler , I stubbornly bet everything on time .
I bet that time would change Steves heart , that one day I would live in his heart .
But unfortunately , time cruelly told me that those who bet must accept defeat .
And I lost everything .
So , the reason you sent me to bed early was so you could celebrate your wedding anniversary alone ? Evelyns sharp voice snapped me back to reality .
6/9 Chapter 5 + 5 Points She was agitated and shoved the carefully prepared cake off the table .
Youve developed real feelings for her , havent you ? In just eight years , youve let her into your heart , havent you ? Evelyn pointed at Steve , her voice hoarse with rage , each word a hammer blow on my fragile nerves .
She turned and flung open the fridge , tossing out all the ingredients I had carefully chosen and prepared , then stomped on them with all her might .
Steve , you can only be mine ! You said you would love me forever .
You cant go back on that ! Those ingredients , each one selected 7/9 Chapter 5 + 5 Points with thought and effort , lay crushed under Evelyns feet .
I could already imagine the satisfied smile Steve would show when he ate the noodles I made or the dumplings I wrapped .
But now , they were all trampled by Evelyn , just like my heartfelt devotion , ground to pieces .
Steve stood up , pulling the hysterical Evelyn into his arms , gently patting her back to calm her .
And I … I could only stand by and watch it all unfold , like an outsider , excluded from his world .
I stared coldly at the chaos before me , the handmade noodles and dumplings stomped beyond recognition just like the last flicker 8/9 Chapter 5 + 5 Points of hope I had for this love , crushed beyond repair .
