Chapter 318 - 318: White Room (1/2)

Marie's Birthday Celebration ended at exactly 10:00 o'clock in the evening. Everyone bade each other goodbye. They had all the fun today and they were glad to have this mini-reunion.

When everyone went separate ways, Bryan, April, June, Rose and Carl, the five of them immediately approached Allen. They were the ones who helped him with the preparation.

They were aware that Allen and Marie had talked in the garden just a while ago. They were eager to know the result of his confession.

”Hey, how is it?” June asked him, putting a hand around Allen's shoulder.

Everyone was all eyes on him anticipating a piece of good news from him. Allen looked down as he felt a little bit embarrassed. He could only scratch his face. But the five people never left him alone until they got the answer that they wanted to hear.

After a while, Allen faced them with a wide smile on his face.

”I did it! I tell her everything I feel about her!” Allen said to them proudly.

”So what did she say?” It was Rose who asked him.

”She's shocked.” Allen simply stated.

”Huh? Is that it?” April urged him to say something more.

”Dude! Come on….spill out the beans. We are dying to know.” Carl said feeling a little bit impatient.

Allen chuckled. ”Actually... she said she needed more time to think it through. She hadn't given me an answer yet.”

Everyone sighed in frustration.

”Hey, why are you all giving me a face like that? Hahaha I am the one who confessed but why is it, the five of you seem the ones who are greatly affected? Besides, no need to feel sad about this. She didn't turn me down.” Allen said to them, looking to the positive sides.

”I was very happy that I was able to tell her my feelings. That's good enough for me,” he added.

”That's true! It will take time but she's worth the wait!” Bryan said meaningfully, glancing at April. A blush subconsciously overtaken April's face.

That gesture didn't escape the observant eyes of their colleagues. So the engaged couple received a good teasing from them.

Meanwhile, Marie together with her parents were driving back home.

Her birthday was almost over yet Marie was still waiting for a certain someone to greet her. She hadn't hear anything from him since this morning.

'Did he forget about my birthday?' Marie pondered to herself.

She got lost in her thoughts whenever she recalled the day Black Shadow appeared in front of her at her flower shop.

She subconsciously touched her lower lip as the memory of that intense kiss they shared together just a few days ago had crossed her mind.

Before she could realize it, the car already stopped in their front gate. They finally reached their home.

Just when they were about to enter the gate, Marie saw someone just a few meters away from their gate. He was standing beside his motorcycle.

”Dad wait! stop the car… I am getting out.”

Her Dad did as she had requested.

”Where are you going?” Her mom asked her in confusion.

”I will just talk to my friend. He's here. He was not able to attend the party.” Marie said as she pointed her forefinger to the man's direction.

Her Mom just nodded at her. Marie stepped out of the car immediately and walked towards Black Shadow.

”Hey… I thought you wouldn't show up today. I am glad you still make it. There's still one hour and half before my birthday ends today.” Marie said to him cheerfully.

Black Shadow let out a soft chuckle. ”Better late than never.”

Marie also giggled hearing his remarks. Then she stretched her right hand in front of him. Black Shadow stared at her empty palm with confusion.

”Where's my gift? You are here to greet me right?” Marie shamelessly said to him, giving him a playful smile.
