Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1011

How could there be fireflies in a season well past summer?

Benjamin's tone was calm as he explained, "There's a firefly breeding farm around here."

Shannon was initially surprised as to why he'd know since he'd just returned, but she soon realized that Hector had most likely told him.

She looked up at him with a smile and asked, "So, is this the other gift you mentioned?"

Benjamin met her gaze with his deep eyes. His voice sounded low and rich like the resonance of a cello as he said, "Not just this."

Before Shannon could ask further, a whistle shot through the air. She turned abruptly just in time to witness the night sky erupt with dazzling fireworks.

Boom! The burst of light painted the dark sky with vivid colors. Each explosion lit the heavens with cascading hues and etched itself into her memory.

…

For guests at the banquet area, they were greeted with a different view. The younger guests gasped in delight and grabbed their friends to rush to the lawn and marvel at the vibrant display.

Adam and the patriarchs remained seated and composed. When the former saw the fireworks, he instinctively searched for Shannon.

He shook his head in silent resignation at noticing both she and Benjamin were absent. They must've found a spot to watch the fireworks alone.

Since he couldn't locate Shannon, he turned his attention to Hector with a rare hint of approval in his gaze. Despite some uncontrollable surprises, the event had overall gone smoothly.

That was especially the case for the fireworks display. Adam was certain that Shannon would love it.

Hector met Adam's approving glance with a smile. Then, he shook his head slightly. The fireworks show wasn't his doing.
