The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2007

Yvonne stared back at him, speechless, tears gathering in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly as she struggled to contain herself.

“Come on, let’s play together.” Drew sauntered up to her, handing her a sparkler. His eyes shone brighter than all the stars.

Yvonne took it, her hands trembling.

The orphanage was in a remote location, and it was not likely he had purchased something so romantic from somewhere nearby. He must have prepared this in advance.

With a hiss, the sparkler in her hand lit up, and its light flickered across her delicate face. She could not help but smile, looking more and more like the girl in the photograph.

“Last time, there was a fireworks show that stunned the whole city. Did you like it?” Drew suddenly asked, glancing at her.

Yvonne stared into her sparkler, her voice soft. “Yes.”

“Even if you enjoyed it, it doesn’t matter now. I’m not as rich as Ryan, so I can’t afford to spend millions on a grand romantic gesture.”

Yvonne offered him a faint smile, long used to his blunt way of speaking. “No, this is great.”

Yvonne’s gentle smile outshone any fireworks. “As long as it belongs to me, it is the best in the world.”

She had never had anything to call her own before. Even a little sweetness was cherished as a precious treasure.

When the last sparkler was about to fizzle out, Drew turned his head, whispering in her ear with unprecedented tenderness. “You are not the only one who remembers what you really look like now.”

Yvonne’s eyelashes were heavy with tears as she abruptly turned to face him.

He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, his large hand cupped the back of her neck, as he gently brought their foreheads together. “I will remember for you too.”

As she met his eyes, her cheeks flushed, and her heart pounded in her chest.

The sparkler went out, but the fire in their eyes burned on.

Suddenly, Yvonne’s phone rang, breaking the intimate atmosphere.
