SOLE LOVE

Camping

Instead of fighting over that useless boy, I gave them a genuine smile.

"I already knew about you guys. Someone called me as soon as Jason proposed and told me that he already has a loved one in his heart, so I only accepted his proposal to make sure that I won't get disturbed by other guys who are after me. Both of us deceived each other, so no more contempt. Is that okay?"

The three of them looked at me with a shocking expression. Seeing that they didn't reply, I asked again, "Is that okay?"

Listening to me, repeating the question, the three of them nodded in unison.

"I am sorry I shouldn't have deceived you.", Jason said in a sad tone.

"We both deceived each other, so no need to say sorry, as I will not ask for forgiveness."

I replied as though I never cared about their feelings.

"Are we still friends?", Jason asked, looking at me with his puppy eyes.

Molly, who saw the turn of events frowned.

Looking at her expression, I guess she wanted to see me embarrassed after the breakup.

"I already had an idea that you might have known about them. But these two never believed me. So, I asked them to show their love in front of you, to see your reaction."

Aidan smiled at me and spoke in a very gentle manner, which gave me goosebumps.

"I am right, aren't I?", Aidan asked the couple, who seemed as though they have not yet come out of the shock.

"Young Master, the camp is set.", the butler spoke in a very respected manner to Aidan and informed him about the camp settings.

I wanted to put the cat down, but its claws tightly clenched the long sleeve of my blue dress, and was reluctant to go down.

I decided to take to cat along with me as none of them inquired about the cat.

After the butler discussed with Aidan about the camping, we started to walk towards the place where the camping was set.

On the way, I sent the location to one of my servants, James, and asked him to come within 10 minutes.

It took 15 minutes to walk towards the destination while enjoying the night view of the forest.

On the way, I noticed Jason looking at me with a confused expression, unable to pull himself out of the truth, which portrayed that he too was deceived as he deceived me.

I enjoyed looking at his distressed face, but never showed it outside.

After 10 minutes passed, I received a notification from the TRACE app. It showed that James was somewhere near, inside Aidan's property.

After we reached the place, all of a sudden, the lights dimmed and the campfire extinguished due to the sudden blow of the powerful icy wind.

It was silent for so long and only the noise of the footsteps was heard, which showed that many people were going to and coming forth from the mansion.

One by one the torches were lit by the maids. They hurriedly set the campfire.

After 11 minutes or so, the decorative bulbs lightened again and the atmosphere gave a sense of happy mood.

While they were busy with making the camp more joyful, by playing games and dancing to the song sung, I asked James to follow my lead of scaring the life out of those guys.

Soon it was midnight and the crackers were boomed beautifully, which was already set.

While I was looking at the colorful scenery, I felt someone holding my right hand and the cat who got up due to the noisy atmosphere jumped off and ran away.

I looked at Aidan who was kneeling, in a posture to propose and holding my right hand.

"I love you. Will you accept me as my boyfriend?", Aidan asked with a voice that could melt snow, with expectations in his eyes.

I glanced at the people around me and frowned a little.

Aidan who seemed to sense my hesitation immediately got up and told me with a gentle smile, "It is okay if you want to have some time to think. I will wait, but not for long."

"I will think about it."

I said so when I saw the expression of the people around me.

They know that it is difficult to say no to a friend who has proposed during the birthday, yet they wanted me to consider, knowing that I was not too interested in the love life.

Let it be, today is the last day for them to enjoy. I will let them do whatever they want...... for today...

Aidan cut the cake and received the gifts.

The surprise gift planned by Molly was a video call with his favorite star. In the starry night with decoration bulbs all around. Jason gifted 'Personalized Photo Leather Wallet' and I gave him a fountain pen.

Since I was not so close to him, giving him something expensive will only give rise to misunderstandings. So, I gave him the simplest gift.

After presenting gifts, all of us sat on the soft mat and started to play 'truth or dare'.

Each one of us rotated the bottle by taking turns.

Whenever Molly had the lead, she tried to use the chance to make me and Aidan closer.

"Hug Aidan..."

"Tell us how you feel about Aidan?"

"Tell him 'I love you'."

Jason always asked Aidan to do something stupid, which could make one feel embarrassed.

And whenever Aidan had a chance, he will take revenge on Jason, asking him to do something that he hates the most.

These unreasonable ways of trying to put two people together, made me want to kick her a** off.

We played this for nearly 25 minutes.

The head maid came with a huge cake as big as a small 6-year child and Aidan cut the cake, while all of us sang the song, 'Happy birthday'.

After rubbing a little bit of cake on each other's face, I took the tissue paper, cleaned myself, and watched the maid serving chocolate cake pieces in the plates and distributing them.

*howl*

*howl*

*crash*

Listening to the sudden howling of a dog, out of nowhere, Molly loosened her grip and her plate, full of chocolate cake, fell.

"Sorry....", Molly said in a soft bitter voice, bitter enough to make anyone forget the mistake she did.

Even though it was not a big deal, her expression made Jason hold her hand and appease her with kisses. Their lovey-dovey act made me dizzy.

Too much drama...... That was the only thing I thought when I saw them.

Aidan, who was watching from the sidelines, came to me and put his right hand on my shoulder.

"Do you want some more?", he asked, smiling widely, as though trying to distract me from their shameful acts.

I looked at the side again and decided to stop glancing at the shameful couple.

"No, thanks. I am a little sleepy. If the celebration is over, shall I go to my room?", I asked him, unable to hold my desire to slap him, for looking at me lovingly.

But in-spite of telling him that I was sleepy, he kept asking questions continuously.

"Are you tired?

Do you want something to eat?

Or anything hot, like soup?...."

I gestured for him to stop, else he might have continued to ask many questions.

"Just sleepy, nothing else. If I need anything, I will tell you, no need worry.", I said so and walked away with one of the maid's guidance.

On the way, I took out my phone and sent a message to James.

'Delete unnecessary messages from my phone and place it on the window before 5 am.

Ask others not to call me until the matter is over and watch over Ava. It seems like he has come back.

And one more important matter, don't forget to play with them, enough to make Jason and Molly frighten.

For Aidan, there is another surprise waiting for him, prepared by Levi. '

After texting, I threw the phone and followed the maid, looking at the mansion.

As soon as I went inside the room, I found the cat sitting on the sofa. I let it lay down as it is and locked the door so that it doesn't open abruptly as it did when the cat came in.

I slowly fell on the bed and slept soundly.

I didn't know how much time passed, while I was suddenly shaken by someone.
