Chapter 148


    Summer did not wait in the living room but went straight to her room. She switched on the TV and


    waited for the New Year g to begin.


    This was the first time that she did not celebrate New Year at home. She could not get used to it and


    felt a little lonely.


    Usually, her family of five would gather around the TV to watch the New Year g. It was a very lively


    asion; they even had fruit dessert.


    They would only go to bed after the g had ended. What made it more exciting was the activity where


    they exchanged New Year presents.


    However, this year, she sat alone in the spacious room and stared at the huge LED TV. Although the


    view was clearer, itcked the lively atmosphere of the usual years.


    Mark walked into the room holding a document file and noticed her slim figure on the sofa. She was


    simply tapping on the remote control; her face was full of loneliness.


    Moved, he sat beside her and asked, "What are you watching?” "Waiting for the New Year g to


    begin." She nced a


    t him and muttered.


    "What time does it start?" Mark crossed his legs.


    Summer thought, ''He must have never watched a New Year''s g before. He only knows how to deal


    with documents.''


    She looked at the time and answered, "8:00 pm, it''s starting in twenty minutes."


    "Valentine mansion is setting off some fireworks, if you''re feeling bored, go have a look." He said


    gently.


    "Where can I see them?" her face brightened, and a bit of her boredom faded away.


    He pointed at the balcony and replied, "Stand over there, you''ll get the best view..."


    Summer put down the remote control and went to the spot he mentioned. A cold breeze whooshed by


    and made her shiver a little.


    Momentster, the fireworks began. They shot up to the sky, followed by loud crackles. They formed


    patterns likerge umbres and were very colorful.


    It was indeed a marvelous sight.


    Spending her first Near Year away from home, she needed something that could fill her emptiness; and


    the fireworks did just fine.


    The fireworks seemed never-ending. It disyed a variety of shapes and colors and lit up the sky so


    brightly that it looked like day.


    Mark looked at her through the French window, her upward gaze formed a graceful arc. Her hair


    fluttered a s the wind blew. At each crackle of the fireworks, it revealed her alluring smile.

    It was as if the fireworks had be her prop, defining her lovely figure.


    Stirred, he gazed at her. Then, he stood up and slowly walked toward her...


    While he was walking, his phone on the coffee table began to vibrate, its screen shed.


    It was a call from Raine...


    The phone was in silent mode; hence, it only vibrated and went unnoticed.


    A whileter, it stopped vibrating after a long time and became silent...


    Standing in front of her, his gaze shifted from the dazzling fireworks onto her fair and alluring face.


    At that moment, a huge firework of blue, purple, magenta, yellow, and green spread out in the sky.


    They then converged again forming the beautiful shape of a dandelion.


    In the end, it lit the sky with a bright yellow evanescence.


    At that instant, Summer''s face radiated with loveliness and beauty.


    His dark pupils flickered. He took hold of her chin, bent over, and ced his lips right on top of hers.
