Stellan looked at Isaac. He could see that Isaac only had eyes for Patricia. Stellan knew he liked
Patricia, but Patricia was oblivious to it. Mom, you can be really stupid sometimes. Heâs trying to be
romantic here, and all you care about is how dangerous fireworks are for kids?
The front yard was filled with hot springs and water sports facilities, while the backyard was perfect for
a fireworks show. Isaac took them to the backyard. A bunch of fireworks were already there, ready to
be lit up.
Liam and the bodyguards were there. They lit the fireworks up right after Isaac and the others showed
up, and the fireworks blew up in the sky, illuminating it.
Patricia was in awe. She saw fireworks before, but only during Christmas. This was her first time
seeing them close up. She was reminded of a novel she read. The main couple lit up fireworks through
the night on the mountain. She wondered how it must feel. Probably heaven on earth. It was a shame
she never dated. Maybe Iâd be single for life. Still, she was still in awe when she saw the fireworks,
even though they were not for her. She just pretended they were.
The boys covered Sylvieâs ear. The girl was staring at the fireworks. There were flowers, deers, and
even hearts blooming in the sky.
She was leaping with joy. âTheyâre so pretty!â
The boys looked up at the fireworks calmly. Yeah, theyâre decent.
Isaac looked at the little girl. Sheâs a lucky one. Her brothers love her. She might not have a father, but
she has the boys. Theyâll be her father figures. Sheâs probably gonna be picky about her boyfriend. She
wonât date anyone unless theyâre as nice to her as the boys are. He turned his attention to Patricia. She
was staring up into the sky. Patricia was smiling, but she did not express too much delight. She was
just staring quietly. Isaac suddenly extended his hands and covered her ears.
She turned her attention to him and blushed. âIâm not a child anymore, Mr. Arnold.â Iâm not Sylvie. Iâm
not scared of the explosion. Itâs nothing more than pops.
Isaac smiled. âYour boys are helping a lady out. I have to do something, or Iâll be no better than a kid.â
Patricia laughed and looked at her kids. It was like they came out of a painting. The kids were beautiful,
and the fireworks made for a perfect background for a comic panel. She brushed Isaacâs actions aside
and let him cover her ears. She knew he was a proud one, and he would not let her boys look better
than he was, so she let him do what he wanted.
Liam was taking a photo of this scene. He thought, Iâll send this photo to Mr. Arnoldâs phone tomorrow.
Heâs gonna give me a bonus then. He had no idea how great his life would be after his boss got a
girlfriend. All I have to do is to curry favor with Miss Aniston, and Iâm set. Even if I make mistakes, heâll
let me off the hook as long as Miss Aniston persuades him.
Isaac was not looking at the fireworks, but staring at her face. She was inches away from him. Her lips
were puckered, and they looked like a cherry. Her face was plump, and her eyes were as clear as an
unadulterated fountain of water.
