A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1597

With a gentle smile on his face, Darren stared at Bonnie like it was the first time he had seen her in years.

On the other hand, Bonnie was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected that he would remember her birthday.

After a few minutes, Darren started to carefully place a few candles on the cake. Because of this, Bonnie looked down and noticed that her name was written in blue in the middle of the cake and that there were two small figures made of chocolate standing beside it.

At that moment, Bonnie was so moved that she needed to cover her face because she was about to cry.

She thought about whether she was a lucky person or not. After all, no other girl would be able to celebrate her birthday in prison, except her.

“Well, what are you waiting for? Make a wish now,“ Darren uttered while fixing a few more things on the cake. When he was done, he looked back into her eyes. Instantly, he knew exactly what was going through her mind.

The candles were arranged in the shape of a heart, and inside of it were the two chocolate models. Even if Bonnie was in prison, her eyes lit up like fireworks from joy.

“Make a wish now,“ Darren said again with a warm smile while staring straight at her eyes.

“Um... Okay,“ Bonnie replied with a sweet smile while meeting his gaze. Then, she placed her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.

At the same time, Darren couldn't help but make a wish that Bonnie could get out of prison as soon as possible, especially since she was an innocent woman who was just taking his place there.

When he was done, he opened his eyes and saw that the girl in front of him was still busy making her own wish. Suddenly, he noticed a gruesome wound on her arm.

“What happened to your arm? Did someone here do that to you?“ he worriedly asked while pointing at Bonnie's injury. His gentle, soothing voice quickly disappeared and was replaced by a tone of concern.

Bonnie was unfazed by his question and even seemed like she wasn't worried at all, even though her bruises looked severe. Casually, she answered,

“I just fell down by accident. There's no need to fuss over it. It's okay.“ After that, she gave him a sweet smile to make sure he wouldn't worry anymore.

The last thing Bonnie wanted to do was to upset Darren, especially since no matter how busy he was with work, he would always visit her every month and bring her lots of delicious food. Lastly, she knew that the least she could do was to make sure Darren was at his best so that he could get her out of there as soon as he could.

“All right, all right. Be careful in the future, okay? Now, how about you blow out those candles?“ Darren gleefully said after a moment of silence.

Bonnie nodded hard to show that there was nothing to worry about.

With the atmosphere returned to a cheerful state, Bonnie blew out the candles as if nothing had happened just now. And even though Darren still had doubts about what had really happened to her, he just went along with her lie since they only had a short amount of time to be together and happy.

When they were done eating the cake, both of them cleaned up the table. Sadly, it was time for them to part again. No matter how much Darren wanted to stay with her all the time, he simply couldn't since he had so much work to do.

“Well, you'd better leave now or you'll end up reading documents till late at night again. If you lose all of your hair because you keep staying up late, I wouldn't want to be with you anymore,“ Bonnie teasingly said, trying to make the atmosphere a little bit less sentimental.

“Before I go, give me a hug,“ Darren casually uttered all of a sudden while reaching out his hands. Seeing Darren's transformation from a domineering and sharp-tongued man into the sweetest and most loving one melted Bonnie's heart. Because of this, she couldn't help but walk forward and give him a big, tight hug.

She even buried her head in his chest to feel the warmth from within him. That simple act almost made Bonnie cry.

All of a sudden, Darren tightened his grip on the woman in his arms like it was the last hug he was ever going to get from her. He honestly looked like he was planning to carry her out of that prison.

“All right, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself and don't let anyone bully you, okay? If someone does, tell me right away. Do you understand?“

Darren softly said while shyly rubbing her nose. When she nodded in agreement, he turned around and left.

With every step Darren took, Bonnie kept watching him. She lovingly stared at his back until he disappeared from her sight. When he was finally gone, she looked around the cell and felt the warmth inside. For her, it was like he was still there with her.

When Darren left the prison, he was feeling good since he had just seen the love of his life. However, Siena was standing outside the prison waiting for him to come out. A frown made its way onto Darren's face as soon as he saw her. He hadn't expected that she would wait there for so long.

With sympathetic eyes, Siena walked towards Darren as soon as she saw him. Unfortunately for her, he knew exactly what she was doing and he had no interest in what anyone had to say at that moment,

let alone a girl who was eyeing him.

“You're finally done,“ Siena greeted him with a confident smile, as if she didn't mind that the man she liked had just been with the woman he loved.

“Are you okay?“ she asked in a concerned tone. It seemed like Siena wasn't going to let Darren just ignore her. In her mind, he was in a bad mood and needed someone to comfort him.

As usual, Darren refused her advances. With frigid eyes, he walked right by her like she was no one and headed straight for his car.

“Darren!“ Siena passionately exclaimed, catching even herself by surprise. After taking a deep breath, she added, “Do you really not like me at all?“

That was the first time Siena had ever had to ask a question like that. She had always been considered one of the most beautiful women in any place she went. Because of that, she had had to refuse countless men who courted her. But at that moment, even if she hadn't expected it to happen, she was willing to look foolish for the man she loved.

Upon hearing her pleading voice, Darren turned his head and looked at her. “I can't deny that you're a very thoughtful and capable employee, but I'm no longer a playboy. There's only room for one woman in my heart. And that woman is Bonnie,“

Darren calmly replied while pointing at his heart. Right after that, he placed his hand on his forehead because he realized that he might've been too harsh on such a young lady.

Unfortunately, his hunch was right. Siena's heart shattered into pieces when she heard Darren's words. In anguish, her eyes filled up with tears. But instead of letting them fall, she walked towards him and gave a smile of appreciation when she said, “I'm glad to know that my taste in men is superb. You are indeed a good man.“

Finally, she leaned forwards and gave Darren a gentle kiss on the cheek before he could react. In a tone of relief, she added, “Since you're the first man I fell in love with, I'll give you a gift even if we can't end up together.“

Right after that, she turned around to leave. But after a few steps, she casually uttered, “As for the gift, you'll see it tomorrow.“

With nothing else left to be said, she left with her head proudly held high.

When she was gone from sight, Darren felt like she had completely disappeared from his world.

A few days later, the HR department contacted Darren to tell him that he would be getting a new assistant because Siena had asked for a resignation.

Darren instantly felt pleased when he heard this. However, there was still a bit of sorrow in his heart because of the way things had ended. But the fact that Siena was a good girl who could finally move on and find the right man for her gave Darren a sense of relief.

With that settled, Darren went outside his office to check on his new assistant. But when he saw who it was, his jaw dropped and he couldn't utter a single word.
