She glanced at Leslie, but her attention was instantly drawn away by a burst of music playing in the background. 

“Mr. Synder, do you hear anything?” 

“It’s coming from the table,” he said. 

The two got up and walked over. They found the candle from earlier still playing the birthday song on

Confused, Aurelia said, “It’s been going on for over an hour now. 

“Turn it off,” Leslie said. 

“How?” 

He shot her a baffled look. “Don’t you know? The staff said that people your age would like this kind 

of candle.” 

“I don’t know. When I was a kid, my mom always took care of everything after I blew out the candle. They never went on playing the music for this long. But it’s been over a decade. Maybe things have changed.” 

“I see. Let’s get o 

“Okay. Good night.” 

rest. 

Both of them assumed that the candle would run out of battery soon. 

Later that night, in her sleep, Aurelia felt a headache coming on as she kept hearing a constant noise in the background. 

She couldn’t bear it anymore and forcefully opened her eyes, only to find that the chanting noise hadn’t stopped. 

She took a deep breath and sat up from the bed. Then, she carefully opened her door.. 

Suddenly a figure appeared in front of her, and she almost let out a scream. 

“It’s me.” 

As soon as the corridor lights came on, Aurelia saw Leslie next to her. 

“Mr. Synder, did you hear some strange noises too?” Aurelia spoke softly and subconsciously moved closer to Leslie. 

While she wasn’t afraid of ghosts, she still felt a little jittery. 

Even with the corridor lights on, there was still a chilling atmosphere. 

Leslie looked at her with amusement.

Normally, people kept their distance when talking to him, but this was the first time someone had voluntarily moved closer to him. 

“It’s the candle.” Leslie decided not to continue scaring her. 

“Oh?” 

A few seconds later, they stood next to the dining table and stared at the candle on the table. 

“It’s been so many hours now. Why’s it still playing the song?” 

“Let’s soak it in water.” 

“Okay.” 

Most machines would be damaged when soaked in water, but the candle was different. It continued to play the music even underwater. 

Leslie frowned. “I’ll throw it away. 

“I’ll come with you,” Aurelia said. 

The two put on their coats and took out the trash with them too. 

The summer night wasn’t as hot as the day, and the gentle breeze was quite comfortable. The moon and stars in the sky appeared exceptionally bright. 

Aurelia looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but laugh when she thought about the fact that they were outside to throw away a singing candle in the middle of the night. 

“What are you laughing at?” Leslie asked. 

“It’s just… I always feel like you’re one of those high–ranking elites. You’d just have to wave of your hand and people would do everything for you. 

“But now, you’re throwing away a candle with me in the middle of the night. It’s quite amusing.” 

Aurelia thought that Leslie would feel embarrassed, but to her surprise, he smiled. 

“It is indeed amusing.” 

“Mr. Synder, you look really handsome when you smile. You should smile more in the future, and stop frowning so much. That’s what I wished for today, you know.” 

After speaking, Aurelia realized that she had said too much. 

She quickened her pace, but Leslie grabbed her wrist. 

“Why?” He looked at her and waited for her answer. 

Aurelia lowered her head, unsure of how to respond. 

When she had made her birthday wishes, she had wished for her mother’s speedy recovery, for Linda to live a long and healthy life, and the third wish was for Leslie, hoping that he could find happiness.

As for herself, wishes were limited to three, wasn’t It? 

Linda and Leslie had helped her through so many difficulties, so she felt indebted to them. 

“Why?” Leslie asked again. 

“Because… I feel like you’re unhappy and that you’re harboring a lot of sorrow in your heart.” Aurelia looked up at him as she slowly expressed her thoughts. 

Leshe remained silent and took a step closer to her. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere between 

them became somewhat romantic. 

Suddenly, curses came from behind them. 

“Damn! Who is playing music in the trash bin in the middle of the night? That scared the hell out of 

me!” 

Hearing this, Aurelia grabbed Leslie’s hand and whispered, “Run.‘ 

With that, she pulled Leslie and ran toward the house. 

Behind them, someone walked out of the garden and watched them with a malicious expression.
