SunburstSorceress

Two weeks before my thirtieth birthday, it was the seventh anniversary of my relationship with Ethan Grant.
He prepared a romantic candlelight dinner for me, along with exquisite gifts and a small cake.
The atmosphere was very romantic, and I thought he would propose to me at this time.
Ethan Grant's phone rang, and he told me he was sorry, and that I should rest early tonight.
I stood frozen in place, suddenly feeling that all the reluctance in the world was meaningless.
He doesn't love me that much.
Perhaps being together from the start was a mistake.
I should let you go, and also let myself go.


I Waited Until Thirty but Never Heard a Proposal, This Time, I Let You Go and Also Myself

Being with Ethan Grant for so long, I almost forgot that I was quite popular too.


Apart from Jasper Wells, there were one or two other men at the company who asked me out for dinner, which I turned down.


Soon, it will be my thirtieth birthday.


For women, turning thirty is indeed a special time, with a special significance.


Once past this point, some things seem unchanged, yet are vastly different.


After work, Jasper Wells suddenly appeared in my office waiting for me, and I looked up at him: "What is it?"


Jasper Wells, out of nowhere, produced a cake and placed it in front of me: "Happy Birthday."


"May I take you out for dinner tonight?"


I hadn't planned anything for this birthday, nor had I bought myself a cake.


The night I was hoping for an engagement ring from Ethan Grant, I forced myself to finish a whole cake, and it left a shadow in my heart.


But looking at the cake Jasper Wells was holding, suddenly I wasn't so averse to it.
