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 gala to begin. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
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 gala. It was a very lively
occasion; they even had fruit dessert.
They would only go to bed after the gala 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, it lacked 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 gala to
begin." She glanced 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 gala 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.
Moments later, the fireworks began. They shot up to the sky, followed by loud crackles. They formed
patterns like large umbrellas 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 displayed 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 become 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 flashed.
It was a call from Raine...
The phone was in silent mode; hence, it only vibrated and went unnoticed.
A while later, 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 placed his lips right on top of hers.
