A white heart-shaped cake with number candles of 31 appeared to decorate the pantry table which had been beautifully arranged. Lucky for Anne to see the interior of the other part first when she entered the apartment, so that Jack's surprise plan was successful, the whereabouts of the birthday cake was successfully unknown to Anne.
"Happy birthday, my wife," said Jack again repeating his previous words.
Anne who was covering her mouth with her hands immediately turned to Jack. "I even forgot my birthday, Jack."
"It's okay. After all that has happened in the last few days, it must be hard for you to remember your own birthday. Never mind that, let's light the candles. Let's celebrate your birthday."
