Liam laughed and chided lightly, “Hey. Don’t be ridiculous. Her name’s Tatiana, just a friend of mine.”

His friend winked suggestively, “Sure, just a close friend, we all get it!”

Liam didn’t bother correcting him, or maybe he simply didn’t want to.

Everyone in their circle had known each other for a decade; they knew all of one another’s secrets and shared an unbreakable bond.

The mood quickly turned lively and relaxed.

“Evan Voss, I’m the one chasing her.”

That single sentence left Evan completely stunned.

“Are you serious?”

“I am.”

Evan looked at him like he’d discovered something brand new.

Finished

For all Liam’s gentle exterior, he was incredibly picky when it came to women. For years, hefd kept everyone at arm’s length. Aside from his first love Sherry, he’d never cared for anyone. Even his marriage to Sherry had mostly been an act of rebellion against his family.

Now he was actively pursuing another woman?

Evan suddenly asked, “Haven’t you won her over yet?”

Liam shot him a sharp glance, “Don’t say things I don’t want to hear.”

Evan caught the hint and burst out laughing, “Liam, of all people, I never thought you’d end up like this. You’re finally tasting the pain of love!”

Pain?

He didn’t feel any pain at all.

This addictive, unfulfilling longing was far more thrilling.

He’d never been this obsessed with anyone before.

“Want a skewer?”

Tatiana turned her head to see him holding a plate of freshly grilled meat, and she thanked him. “Yes, thank

you.

Sitting right beside her was Evan’s wife, Chen Xiaoyu, who teased them playfully, Liam, we rarely see you being this thoughtful. The rest of us are starving too.”

“Want some?”

“Of course we do!”

“Ask your husband to grill for you.”

Evan walked over carrying his own plate of skewers right then, and he chuckled when he heard that, ‘Ear mine instead, skip Liam’s. He rarely cooks himself, and he only made these for one person,

The whole group erupted into laughter.

Even the way she ate looked adorable to him.

Tatiana couldn’t stand his intense gaze, so she held out a skewer to him. “You eat too.”

“Alright.”

Only then did he tone down his staring.

Tatiana let out a quiet breath of relief.

Someone brought out a deck of cards. Half the group gathered to play poker, while the rest stayed by the grill, excitedly roasting a whole chicken.

These rich heirs were thoroughly enjoying themselves, and what’s more, Liam had hosted the entire eveny

Glancing at his watch and seeing the time was right, Liam shoved his cards into Evan’s hands. “Finish this round for me.”

He walked straight over to Tatiana.

“Come with me, I’ve got somewhere to show you.”

“Where are we going?”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

She stood and followed after him.

Liam led her up a higher hillside, where a small observation deck stood. The view from the platform was stunning, with nothing but endless stars stretching overhead.

Liam checked his watch again, “I’ve got a surprise for you.”

She could already guess what it might be.

Sure enough, a brilliant firework bloomed across the night sky the next second.

One after another, countless streaks of light shot upward from all directions, hissing as they streaked through the air, forming a reverse meteor shower.

The vast deep–blue canvas of the night sky was instantly lit up and split apart by color

Tatiana, however, felt nothing at all.

Someone else had pulled this trick countless times before, with displays even bigger and more dazzling than this one.
