NOVPUBChapter 1148: 522 Secret_2 Chapter 1148: 522 Secret_2 Aubree Groove smiled.
At that moment, a booming sound filled the sky, and both Aubree and Anton Cook turned their heads.
Underneath the pitch-black curtain of the sky, fireworks bloomed, just like a fairy scattering flowers.
Red, yellow, orange, green, blue, and purple – all these colors intertwined and burst into the most brilliant hues.
While the fireworks were splendid, they were only momentarily stunning.
After the quiet conclusion, even more breathtaking fireworks ascended.
Repetitive cycles of Reincarnation dictating the climax, added a touch of romance and sentimentality to this ordinary evening.
...
As she enjoyed the fireworks, he enjoyed her.
The reflection of the fireworks in her eyes, while in his, was a breathtaking sight that no worldly scenery could match.
The firework display had lasted for a solid half-hour.
Aubree sat by the river, quietly admiring the fireworks, after all, such beautiful fireworks weren’t always around to witness.
Anton Cook accompanied her by her side; the two didn’t say a word, the atmosphere carried a silent but unawkward feel.
Gradually, sky lanterns rose into the sky, resembling several moving stars, mirroring onto the river’s surface.
Anton Cook said, “Wait here for a moment.”
He left after putting his mask back on.
Aubree waited for a few moments, with Anton Cook approaching, carrying two sky lanterns; he handed one to her.
“Write your wish on it, it will help you fulfill it.”
Aubree took the pen and wrote eight characters on it.
She didn’t avoid Anton Cook, and he glanced at it.
—— Peaceful rivers, prosperous people and abundant material things.
Anton Cook thought for a while, and wrote a few characters.
Aubree didn’t look at him from beginning to end, as if she wasn’t interested in his wish at all.
They lit their lanterns together, watching as they progressively ascended to the vast sky, turning into two distant stars, disappearing into an unknown distance.
“Uncle, so you’re here, I’ve been looking for you.” Sheila Cook rushed over excitedly, then stopped abruptly in front of Aubree, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
“Fairy Sister.”
Aubree smiled and squatted down: “Hello, little sister Sheila.”
Sheila Cook blinked: “Although you look young, you can’t call me little sister, wouldn’t that be against protocol?”
Aubree was amused by her serious look.
“Then, little friend Sheila?”
“Hehe, Fairy Sister, I don’t want to call you auntie.
That would make you sound old.”
Sheila Cook comfortably rubbed her arm against Aubree’s, her small face beaming with a happy smile.
She leaned into Aubree’s ear and whispered: “Fairy Sister, I will tell you, my uncle really likes you, but you can’t like him back, he is not worth it.”
Anton Cook’s expression alternated between green and white, he almost gnashed his teeth: “Sheila Cook.”
Sheila Cook playfully stuck out her tongue, gripping tight onto Aubree’s arm: “My Uncle is also violent.”
Anton Cook clenched his fist, itching to take action.
Touching her little braids, Aubree smiled: “Really?
But the uncle I know is a passionate, cheerful and talented person, he won’t hit people for no reason.”
Blinking her eyes, vibrant and playful, Sheila Cook said, “Fairy Sister, it turns out that my uncle has such a grand image in your mind?”
Anton Cook froze, staring blankly at Aubree.
Without any hesitation, Aubree sincerely said: “It’s because he’s my good friend.”
Sheila covered her mouth and laughed: “Just a good friend?”
Anton Cook slammed her head with his knuckles, reproached, “If you continue to spout nonsense, I will never bring you along again.”
This kid can really infuriate people.
Unsatisfied, Sheila grumbled, “Uncle, you’re threatening me again.”
Anton Cook looked at Aubree, “I apologize, Aubree, she speaks without any restraint, don’t take it to heart.”
Aubree laughed, “Not at all; she is really adorable.”
Excited, Sheila held onto Aubree’s arm: “Fairy Sister, your taste in people is as classy as your appearance.”
Aubree picked up the Phoenix Flower Lantern beside her and handed it to her: “Here, for you.”
Happily, Sheila said, “Fairy Sister, how did you know I wanted this Phoenix Flower Lantern?”
“Because I can read minds.”
“Wow, this ability is so cool; do you know what I’m thinking now?”
Aubree squatted down and stared at her eyes: “You are wondering, why am I not your real sister.”
Sheila’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Fairy Sister, you’re amazing; you can really read minds.
That’s so cool!”
