But James really didn’t like seeing her. After she left Capital City, she planned to call Grace and Nancy often, but

she would never show up uninvited again...

Tonight, John was in an especially good mood.

Lily had once told him that on every New Year's Eve going forward, the two of them had to spend it together.

On a day meant for reunion, lovers not celebrating together would bring bad luck. Even if they had a fight, they

still had to make up that day and spend the new year happy and in love.

He was certain Lily would cback to their marital htonight.

He had given the villa staff the night off, prepared wine and ingredients for a celebration, and waited for Lily to

chand bow her head.

In previous years, Lily would start preparing early in the morning for New Year's Eve.

She would cut paper decorations by the window while he wrote couplets at the desk.

They would paste the decorations and couplets together, Even though the massive villa only had the two of

them, it would be bustling with life.

He was still in that shouse now, but without her, it felt deathly quiet-so lonely it was like he was the only

one left in the world.

Fireworks had been banned downtown these last couple years.

But in the villa district, people still lit them on New Year's Eve.

Colorful fireworks bloomed across the night sky. Thousands of homes glowed with light. Families reunited. But

inside the marital home, there was still only him.

From sunrise to sunset, from dusk to deep night, the certainty in John's heart slowly gave way to unease.

He glanced at the luxury watch on his left wrist.

It was already past ten o'clock, and Lily still hadn't chome.

He lost the last of his patience. Face cold, he picked up his backup phone and dialed Lily’s number.

Tonight, Victor-James’s second uncle-had returned has well.

Lily was in the backyard with Ivan, Victor, and James, playing with sparklers.

To be precise, it was just her and Ivan lighting the sparklers. James and Victor, both cold by nature, stood like two

ice sculptures nearby. They occasionally spoke in chilly tones, but neither of them showed any interest in joining.

“Don’t mind them. They're always like that,” Ivan said cheerfully as he handed Lily a small firework. “Try this

one!”

Lily had never played with these before and found them quite . She accepted it and was just about to light

it when her phone suddenly rang.

On New Year's Eve, getting a call usually meant someone was about to say happy new year.

As Lily lit the firework and watched it sparkle with pretty patterns, she answered the phone with a bright smile.

“Happy New-"

“Lily, how long are you going to keep this up?” John’s furious voice barked through the speaker, full of

impatience and threats.

Her cheerful face immediately froze over.

Getting a call from that disgusting rotten cucumber on New Year's Eve? What a way to ruin the holiday. “When

are you coming home?”

“Even if you're trying to make a point, there has to be a limit. You have thirty minutes. Be in front ofby

then.”

“John, did a dog eat your brain?” Lily snapped, already huffing through her nose.

He just had to ruin a perfectly good holiday by calling her? No way was she going to let him off easy.

“Lily1”

She didn’t bother listening to his roar. She hung up without hesitation and promptly blocked his number.

“That was amazing!” Ivan gave her a big thumbs-up and handed her another sparkler. “Con, let's keep

lighting fireworks. Forget that lunatic John.”

Ivan had always loved a good party. As a kid, he could light fireworks and firecrackers all night long on New

Year's.

Back then, Victor would occasionally join in.

But tonight, Victor was staring at the sky lit up by the bursts of color, lost in deep thought. He clearly wasn’t

going to stop and go play with fireworks.

James, who'd always been an old soul even as a child, never liked noisy things. He had almost never lit a

firework in his life.
