Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

Chapter 192 Harper 10 vouchers When I felt the brightness of the morning sun on my face , I couldn't feel myself going back to sleep after that . I groaned softly before turning my head into the pillow . I could already feel my head throbbing and it wasn't unbearable , just enough to remind me that I drank more than I should have the previous night . Before I even opened my eyes , the memories quickly came back to me . So much had happened , especially when I was with Maddox by the balcony . He made sure to be rough with me so I wouldn't keep it down .

He wanted Grayson to hear me and I had no regrets . I thought I'd see him next to me when I opened my eyes , but I immediately realized that I was alone on the bed with the sheets tangled around me . He must have been in the bathroom or the kitchen . I stretched lightly , then reached for my phone on the bedside table . The first thing I saw was the time . It was already 11 AM and I shook my head and how I had slept that long . Then , right below the time , I noticed the notifications . There were so many of them and they were a mix of texts , missed calls and social media alerts .

Before I even opened any of them , I was already smiling because I already had an idea what most of them were about . The first text at the top made me place a hand on my chest in appreciation before even reading the whole message . My father had sent it just a minute after midnight . " Happy birthday . I'm so proud of the young woman you've become even when I wasn't around . Moving forward , I'll do everything I can to be the father you always deserved . I have something for you and it's right there in San Francisco . You can pick it up whenever you're ready . Just let me know .

" I glanced at the ceiling with excitement and curiosity as I wondered what he had for me . But what mattered to me more than that was the fact that he was the first to wish me . It was also the first time in my entire life I was experiencing that and I looked forward to more birthdays in the future because I knew he'd be there . I quickly typed back , thanking him for the wishes . I then scrolled and just seeing the way the names were lined up got me excited . There was Dean , my aunt and my friends .

There were paragraphs of sweet messages from him and my aunt and voice notes from Ella and Zoey singing off - key birthday songs . I burst into laughter as I listened to them a few times . Among all those names , I didn't see Maddox , but I wasn't even disappointed that he didn't text . He was right there and probably wanted to say it in person . Not long after he came to my mind , the bathroom door creaked open . I quickly sat up more , pulling the sheet up to cover my chest . But I soon reminded myself that he had seen me so many times without anything .

He walked out of the bathroom wearing a black robe , his hair damp and pushed back from his forehead . He looked so gorgeous as usual . 1/5 2:54 pm DW Chapter 192 For a second , I expected a grin and a " happy birthday " , or even something dramatic and sweet . Instead , he casually walked over to the bed , leaned down and quickly kissed my forehead . " You're awake . " I blinked rapidly . Was that it ? I forced a small smile . " Yeah , my head hurts a little . " " You'll be fine , " he said , already moving away . He walked towards the mirror , reached for his phone and began scrolling .

I was so disappointed that my smile faded slightly . " Hungry ? " He glanced at me . " I am . " He nodded . " Good . " 10 vouchers He didn't even look at my face long enough to notice the change in it . He didn't seem to sense that something felt off . " What do you want for breakfast ? " he asked , already picking up the hotel phone . " Well , I don't know . Anything is fine . " He didn't even push or tease me for being indecisive about what I wanted for breakfast . He just made the order without much thought and ended the call .

I continued sitting in that bed , watching him move around the room like that day was just another day , like it wasn't my birthday . I told myself to relax and that maybe he was planning something , which was why he was waiting for the right moment . But those possibilities were soon dismissed when he approached the walk - in closet and came back out , dressed in a sharp suit . Seeing him like that made me immediately get out of bed , keeping the sheet wrapped around me . " Are you going out ? " I asked as I watched him . I didn't even try to hide the disappointment in my voice .

I thought we'd spend the day together , just us . He briefly looked up from the cufflinks he was adjusting . " Yeah , I have to go . Something urgent came up . It can't wait . " " Oh ." The word came out of me like a whisper . " What time will you be back ? " Putting on his watch , he said , " I'm not sure , but you can stay here as long as you want . " " Cool . " I nodded once , not even bothering to say anything more . I walked into the bathroom before he could see how much that answer actually hurt me . I closed the door behind me and leaned against it for a few seconds .

2/5 2:54 pm Chapter 192 10 vouchers Everyone who mattered in my life at that moment had wished me a happy birthday , except him that bothered me more and more as time went on . When I stepped under the shower and the water washed over me , it still wasn't enough to wash away the building pain in my chest . Maybe I was overthinking it , but if that day mattered to him , wouldn't he have said it already ? We both sat across from each other at the breakfast table near the window . Breakfast had arrived five minutes ago , but Maddox barely looked at the food or at me .

He had his phone in his hand and constantly scrolled and typed . He was so focused that he looked like he was in the middle of some high - stakes negotiation instead of sitting across from his girlfriend on her birthday . I just wanted him to say something , so I picked up my fork and pushed a strawberry around my plate . " Everyone's talking about last night , " I said , trying to sound enthusiastic . " Your several trophies are all over the internet ." He hummed . " Yeah . " His eyes didn't even leave the screen . " They're calling you the real winner of the night , " I said .

He hummed again . " That's good . " I waited for more , something like a joke or something arrogant as that was usually expected when it came to him , but there was nothing , so I thought I'd try again . " You must feel pretty good about it . " " Mhm ." I gave up at that moment as he didn't seem interested at all . Putting his phone down , he took a few quick bites of his food , then checked the time on his watch . ' I have to go . I'll just get my wallet . " He stood up abruptly , his chair scraping against the floor . I wasn't even able to comment so I just watched him .

Everything about him was so rushed , like the way he moved as he buttoned his jacket . When he had everything he needed , he came back to the table , leaned down and kissed my forehead . " I'll call you later . " That was it . There was no happy birthday or an assurance that we would celebrate that night . Then , he turned and headed towards the door without looking back . It only took a few seconds for that door to shut and then I was alone . I just sat still for a moment , staring at the closed door . Then , I slowly got up and walked back towards the bed , sitting down on the edge of it .

How could he do that to me and act like that day was nothing ? It wasn't even about a grand gesture . I didn't need fireworks or a surprise party , just acknowledgement from him . 3/5 2:54 pm DW Chapter 192 I was still trying to figure out why he had done that when my phone on the bedside table rang . It was an incoming call from Zoey and I was glad she was awake . I needed someone to talk to . " Hey , " I said flatly . " There's the birthday girl ! " her voice burst through the speaker , full of excitement . " Where are you ?

" " I'm still in the suite , " I said lazily , falling back onto the bed " Wait , why do you sound like someone stole your cake ? " I sighed heavily . " Maddox doesn't seem to care that it's my birthday . He hasn't said anything about it . " 10 vouchers " Oh , Harp ... " Her tone softened . " Maybe just give it a bit more time , okay ? Actually , that's kind of sad . Imagine if Ella and I acted that way . Ohh ! " Her voice suddenly sounded cheerful again . " There's something I need to tell you ." Despite feeling so lazy , I sat up a little more . " What's up ?

" " I'm still in the suite with Aiden , " she said , lowering her voice dramatically . " He said Ella and Adrian slept in the same suite ! " My eyes widened . " No way ! " " Yup ! " Zoey squealed . " Aiden said she's still sleeping right now . I would love to see her face when she wakes up and sees us there . Wanna go ? " For the first time since I had opened my eyes , I felt something close to amusement . It was petty and chaotic , but exactly what I needed . " Yup , " I said , already swinging my legs off the bed .

" Let's go ." After hanging up , I moved quickly to change into something more comfortable . Then , I grabbed my phone and made my way towards the door . After stepping into the quiet and empty hallway , I closed the door to my suite behind me and turned . I was ready to walk towards the elevator so I could head down a level when another door clicked shut behind me . Though I didn't bother to look back , I stopped in my tracks when I heard Grayson's voice . " Happy birthday , Harp .
