The sky erupted with fireworks, and Olivia’s excitement was contagious.
Mark glanced at Cecilia, who still radiated youthful charm.
He reminisced about a New Year’s Eve at Fortune Square in Duefron that year.
He brought gift to see her, and she was just as enchanting as she was tonight.
Mark approached Cecilia, gently drawing her into his embrace. She would always be his cherished one.

Meanwhile, Edwin drove Laura home, following Bodhi’s car into the yard.
As Laura watched her family disembark, Edwin stopped her in her tracks, prompting her to look up at him.
He then invited her for a walk, sharing his happiness.
Laura was deeply moved.
She didn’t expect Edwin’s mother to welcome her so warmly. It felt surreal, yet she remained composed, murmuring, “That night… it wasn’t right.”
Edwin’s smile was gentle.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned in, speaking softly.
“Why not? We’ve already been there before anyways.”
Laura’s cheeks turned pink as she gently pushed him away.
Edwin laughed softly, releasing her seatbelt.
“How about a cup of tea at your place?”
Laura couldn’t say no, and truthfully, she didn’t want to. They both stepped out of the car.
Edwin opened the door for her, and together, they entered the villa.
Peter watched them, his heart full of happiness. He never imagined that taking care of this girl for Mark would lead to something so joyous one day.
What a wonderful turn of events!
Sitting comfortably, Peter invited Edwin.
“How about a game of chess?
There’s always time for love later!”
Removing his coat, Edwin agreed and sat down.
