Chapter 432

Chapter 432:
Millie called Alexia to double-check, who gave her a positive reply, so she agreed to let Ari stay.
Myron was already crouched down, arranging the fireworks across the ground. Lifting Ari into her arms, Millie gently covered the little girl’s ears.
The first firework hissed, then burst into clusters of light, dancing along the ground.
“Wow!” Ari’s laughter bubbled out as she clapped her hands, delighted by the show.
Millie couldn’t help but smile, letting her hands drop from Ari’s ears as the sparks kept flying. Find the newest release on.net
For a moment, surrounded by the flickering lights, Millie’s own sadness melted away.
“We were supposed to have a drone fireworks display tonight,” Myron spoke up quietly beside her. “But… after everything that happened, it got canceled. I didn’t want the day to go by without something special, so I brought these for you instead.”
Millie gazed at the glowing embers, the meaning behind his gesture clear. After everything that happened with Vivian’s suicide attempt, putting on a big fireworks display for Millie would have just added fuel to the gossip. She looked at Myron and softly asked, “Why go to all this trouble?”
“I heard there were fireworks for both your wedding and the night before your divorce,” Myron said softly. “I know he caused you a lot of pain, and I didn’t want fireworks to always remind you of him. That’s why, after you won the Heavenly Melody championship, I planned a fireworks display just for you. I hoped that from now on, when you saw fireworks, you’d think of this moment, your victory, instead.”
He hesitated and then quietly added, “And maybe think of me, too.”
Millie watched the brilliant bursts of light, every explosion scattering sparkling embers across the night.
Gradually, she shifted her gaze away from the dazzling fireworks and let her eyes settle on Myron.
He wasn’t watching the show at all, as his attention had been on her the entire time.

There was a gentle smile on his face. “It’s a shame they didn’t get their big debut,” he said, almost wistfully.
The fireworks’ glow played across his striking features, lending him an almost ethereal charm.
His gaze never left her, shadowed by a quiet sorrow and a touch of longing.
In that gaze, it was as if she were the only thing he saw.
A smile finally broke across Millie’s lips.
Maybe it was time for a fresh start.
Perhaps she was ready for something—and someone—new, after all.
Millie smiled. “Well… Let’s save that firework show for when things become official between us.”
Myron was briefly taken aback.
Millie met his eyes.
“I accept your offer. Let’s try to get to know each other better,” she said.
In the past few days, he had never crossed any line. He hadn’t pressured her or made anything difficult. Most importantly, Ari really liked him.
