Chapter 757


    “Yes! Drink it cross-arm style!” Zeke shouted.


    Jeremy did not mind that, but to show his respect, he raised his eyebrow at Corinne to ask for her


    consent. Though shy, Corinne did not want to rain on other people’s parade, so after a slight hesitation,


    she linked her elbows with Jeremy’s, and the two of them downed their ss. in one go.


    Satisfied, Annie threw her head back and downed her ss in one go before leading the guests in a


    round of thunderous apuse. The atmosphere in the room certainly reached its peak by then.


    “Jeremy, Lucas prepared a special show for you and Corinne today. Which is so unlike him,” said Zeke


    while pping, and he smiled. “I can guarantee the two of you won’t ever forget tonight.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Jeremy looked askance at Lucas. ‘This guy must be up to no good…’


    Corinne turned to look at Lucas curiously.


    Corinne was Lucas’ long-lost sister. He felt like he owed her for the many years he was not by her side,


    and for…all the misunderstandings that urred between them. Thus, no matter how long it would


    take or how much effort he would need to put into it, he swore he would make it up to her in the hopes


    that Corinne would forgive him one day.


    Suddenly, the sound of fireworks could be hearding from outside, and secondster, the light from


    the fireworks flooded into the room.


    Zeke pointed at the spectacr show. “Speak of the devil! This is what I’m talking about. Let’s go and


    watch it together!”


    Everyone got up from the table and followed Zeke to the balcony. One firework after another burst forth


    into the dark sky before exploding in a shower of light. What was special about this firework was it was


    blue instead of the usual colors found in the market.


    It took Lucas a lot of effort to gather so many blue fireworks because of how rare they were. Then there


    was the matter of safety too, since blue fireworks posed more safety risks than the other colors.


    Initially, Corinne was disinterested in Lucas’ gift to them, but after seeing the gorgeous shades of blue


    lighting up the sky, she could not help but feel awed by it all. Oh, how lucky was she to be able to


    witness such a glorious and romantic sight with the man of her dreams!


    They turned to gaze deeply into each other’s eyes as their lips came closer and closer…


    Ring! Ring! Ring!


    The moment instantly vanished when Jeremy’s phone rang again, and he frowned and pressed


    ‘Decline’. However, the call just kepting anding.


    He patted Corinne’s shoulder lightly and said, “Let me take this call. It might be an emergency.


    “Okay…”


    After he left, Corinne looked up at the sky with mixed feelings.


    “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” said Jason, suddenly appearing beside her.


    “Yes, absolutely,” said Corinne with a smile.


    “I’m talking about you.”


    Corinne looked at him in shock. “Umm… Thanks, I guess.”


    Jason smiled at her. “Sorry, I’ve been so busy with work that I’m either in the office or flying to another


    country to make some deals… I wanted to find you as soon as I got back, but it looks like I’m too


    late…”


    “You’re not.” Corinne’s eyes were so clear that Jason could see the blue fireworks being reflected at


    him.


    Jason’s eyes lit up.


    “Are you saying I still have a chance with you?”
