When the light fell on them, it made both of them seem to glow.

Draven turned his head to look at Cassia.

Cassia was completely drawn in by the colorful fireworks and didn’t notice Draven secretly watching her.

A smile bloomed on Cassia’s face, and under the fireworks, Draven thought she looked even more beautiful than usual.

“Life is like fireworks. It flashes by so fast. Our minds can only hold so much, so why not remember the important people and moments that truly move us? That’s why I usually forget things like dislike, hatred, and foolish people. Remembering them is pointless and only brings trouble.”

This was the first time Cassia had said so much to him.

Draven felt happy, because after all his efforts, Cassia had finally opened up to him a little.

Tonight’s fireworks were truly stunning. It was the most beautiful sight he had seen in his 24

years.

Just as Cassia said, this kind of beauty was worth remembering forever.

Gradually, it became quiet beside him.

Draven looked at Cassia again.

Cassia had closed her eyes and fallen asleep.

As night fell, the wind on the balcony turned chilly, so Draven took off his suit jacket, stood up, walked over, and gently draped it over Cassia’s shoulders.

His movements were so soft that he barely made a sound.

Seven and Sterling were watching TV. When they heard the fireworks explode outside, they instinctively looked toward the balcony.

By chance, they saw Draven bending down.

From Seven and Sterling’s angle, it looked like raven was secretly kissing Cassia.

Seven quickly raised his hand and covered Sterling’s eyes.

“Damn! This kind of scene isn’t suitable for kids!

Sterling was very confused.

Seven was shocked inside. He never expected Draven to take advantage of the situation like this.

After watching Draven show off his affection all night, Seven had almost lost his appetite for late–night food, which made him even more glad he had dragged Sterling along.

Even if Sterling was too young to understand what flirting meant, having someone beside him was still better than being alone.

Seven’s hand only hovered in front of Sterling’s eyes and didn’t actually touch him.

Even so, Sterling felt extremely uncomfortable with Seven suddenly getting so close.

“Mmm…”

When Seven heard the trembling sounds of fear from Sterling, he turned his head and saw the expression on Sterling’s face.

Realizing he had crossed a line, Seven quickly pulled his hand back.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to do that. I’ll move away right now. Don’t cry. Don’t be scared…”

Seven no longer dared to get close to Sterling. He jumped up from the couch and ran to the dining table several yards away.

After a few minutes, drawn in by the superhero movie on TV, Sterling slowly returned to a normal state.

Watching Sterling calm down, Seven rubbed his head in frustration.

Oh! How did I forget that the kid sitting next to me had autism?

On New Year’s Day, Cassia was invited by the owner of Westhill Residence to attend a chess gathering. The two had agreed to play chess there.

It was also a good chance for Cassia to pay him a visit.

After the car entered a wooded mountain area, an old mansion appeared, hidden among the

trees.

A small stream flowed through the property, with rock gardens and strange stone formations.

The owner of Westhill Residence was the world–famous chess grandmaster, Henry Sawyer. Everyone respectfully called him Mr. Sawyer.

Cassia came mainly because she hadn’t played chess in a long time and genuinely wanted to, with the added bonus of enjoying a little wine.
