Chapter 477

Moses was surprised when he saw joshua. “You’re back? Didn’t Yoel say you’ll only be back an hour

later?”

“I let them handle it,” Joshua said, looking colder than before.

Moses did not ask further but just pulled Joshua over to Yoel. Soon after, they began the most

important part of the birthday celebration-blowing out the candles.

All the lights in the room were turned off, and the candles were lit

Joshua was 28 years old this year.

Moses led the singing of ‘Happy Birthday, and Joshua used to treat this part of the celebration as a

mundane routine, making a simple wish. However, he actually enjoyed it today.

He closed his eyes and began to make his wish,

He wished for Cynthia’s happiness and well-being, free from worries.

He did not wish for Cynthia to remarry him; he just wanted her to be happy, and he would be willing to

trade his own life for

that.

When he was done, he opened his eyes and blew out the candles.

This was his most sincere wish, the one he wanted to fulfill the most in his entire life.

After that, they proceeded to cut the cake and change gifts. By the time they finished, it was already

past nine o’clock Moses made some jokes while tidying up, and Yoel helped with the cleanup before

leaving.

Felix called Joshua to the rooftop

The October night breeze carried a chill.

Joshua stood on the rooftop, looking down at the bustling traffic and the colorful lights and casually

asking, “Why did you call me up here?”

“Did you cry?” Felix raised an eyebrow.

Joshua was taken aback, averting his gaze and looking aimlessly down below.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Is it because Cynthia didn’t celebrate your birthday with you this year?” Felix continued.

Joshua remembered how Cynthia had forgiven him.

For some people, bring forgiven by someone they have wronged is a relief and a way to let go. But for

him, it only added to the weight of his inner torment.

Forgiveness was the heaviest punishment for hin.

“You’re overthinking it. She wished me a happy birthday,” Joshua remained silent for a while before

responding

“So, you’re upset because Cynthia has completely moved on from you?” Felix saw through him in an

Instant, always getting straight to the point.

Joshua remained silent.

He understood these things better than anyone else.

“You’ve made your own bed, now lie in it. Hut the Cynthia of today no longer has feelings for you” Felix,

forance, did not scold him but instead spoke to him as a father would.

Joshua did not reply.

He knew all too well.

“Felix, are you sure I’m your biological child? Joshua finally asked

“Didn’t tell you that you were a free sign-up gift for gesting a credit card? Felix replied.

Joshua fell silent.

“Allow me to ask one more question, Joshua Does it hurt? Felix suddenly became serious.

Does it hurt…

He did not even know himself.

However, every time he recalled the foolish actions of his past, he wished he could turn back time and

prevent himself from making those mistakes Seeing Cynthia’s distant and indifferent gaze toward him

felt like being pric ked by needles in his

brart.
