"The entire wealthy circle in Seattle knew how much Stella Carlson loved Aaron Malone. People watched the childhood sweethearts grow from inexperience to maturity, finally getting married in a grand wedding ceremony.

On the day of the wedding, despite the alliance between the Carlson and Malone families, the groom ran away. Stella knew that Aaron had rushed to L.A. to take care of his ex-girlfriend, who had attempted suicide.

Unwilling to become the laughingstock of all Seattle, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number of her adversary, her tone almost commanding, "Ethan, come and marry me now. This is your only chance for revenge."

On the other end, Ethan Powers raised an eyebrow as he gripped his phone, staring at the floor littered with cigarette butts. "Did the groom run away?" he asked. "My darling."

Runaway Groom : A Bride's Tale

Upon hearing Ethan's words, Stella finally realized that the end of the month was her birthday.


Many children in the orphanage couldn't remember their exact birth dates, so the director would usually designate the day they entered the orphanage as their birthday. Stella's birthday in the orphanage was May 26th, the same day as her wedding. Except for Natalie, no one knew that day used to be her birthday.


As for Stella's birthday after she returned to the Carlson family, it was at the end of October. She and Ethan had been "married" for five months.


Looking at the necklace in her hand, Stella smiled and asked, "So this is also a birthday present?"


The man shook his head. "No, just consider it a... small gift."


He just happened to think of her when he saw this necklace and imagined that it would look good on her fair and delicate skin. As for the birthday gift... there were others.


Stella nodded at his words and said softly, "Okay."
