The videos were not long, but the resolution was high with distinct sounds.
Vicky played the first video and noticed that it was filmed at a restaurant.
She instantly recognized that it was the most popular restaurant for couples, evidenced by its romantic
interior.
The camera moved and focused on a table by the window.
The table had been decorated with wine, candles, beautiful tableware, and a blooming crabapple. The
beautiful color of the crabapple was so enticing that Vicky felt like she could smell its fragrance through
the screen.
The first video ended.
There was no one in the video, but Vicky could tell that it was the restaurant where Gloria was going to
celebrate her birthday.
Vicky had thought that Gloriaâs birthday party would be packed with people and instantly realized that
she had been too naive.
Contrary to a grand party, a candlelit dinner seemed more suitable for Gloria and Tyler, who preferred
solitude. Gloria resembled Tyler in this sense, which made them perfect for one another.
Vicky played the second video and noticed that it was edited.
She saw two people sitting by a table, and because of the high resolution, Vicky could see every detail
of Gloriaâs outfit.
Vicky was a designer who had a sharp sense of fashion. Unlike the discomfited state Vicky last saw her
in, Gloria was as elegant as always.
She had just the right amount of makeup that was enough to outline her delicate features. Her long,
black hair was let down, making a distinct contrast with her fair skin.
Her eyes shone under the lights, and as she sat in her beige dress, she looked like a fallen angel.
âHappy birthday, Gloria.â
Tylerâs voice drew Vickyâs attention, and she gazed at the man sitting in front of Gloria.
He was dressed in the same suit as when he left the hospital.
Tyler favored dark colors and loved black, so most of his clothes were black.
In the video, he sat in front of Gloria. Under the wavering lights of the candles, he seemed gentler than
usual.
There was a soft melody in the background, and Vicky recognized it to be â Manage DâAmourâ.
Tyler handed Gloria a gift. âHereâs your birthday present.â
Gloria accepted it with a smile. âThank you.â She immediately opened it and froze in shock. âThisâ¦
This isâ¦â
An exquisite bracelet appeared and glittered under the lights. Tears gathered in Gloriaâs eyes as she
turned to look at Tyler in disbelief.
âThis bracelet⦠Did you buy it?â
Tyler nodded. âIt was supposed to be your birthday gift back then.â
She paused and memories brought her back to her birthday four years ago. With tears in her eyes, she
muttered, âI was going toâ¦accept you on my birthday.â
To her surprise, she found Vicky and Tyler in a hotel room together on the day of her birthday.
The camera zoomed in on the bracelet, and Vicky soon realized that there were detailed patterns of
crabapples on it.
Gloria regained her composure and smiled. âI fell in love with this bracelet because it almost felt like it
was made for me. I wanted to buy it, butâ¦the price was far beyond my budget. So you were the one
whoâ¦paid 8.7 million for it?â
Tyler remained quiet for a few moments before nodding.
