Chapter 2440

Linda had reserved a private room at the 9th Mansion well in advance, and the group drove over, their spirits lifted by the festive atmosphere that enveloped J City. The streets were ablaze with twinkling lights, painting the night in vibrant colors and filling the air with a palpable sense of joy, even from within the confines of their car.

As Sylvia gazed out at the kaleidoscope of lights, her thoughts inevitably drifted to him.

Missing him had become a habit, something ingrained deep within her.

She wondered if he celebrated holidays at all. Probably not, she mused; he never seemed to care much for such occasions.

And would he, even for a moment, think of her?

With a self-deprecating smile, Sylvia scoffed at the thought. Of course, he wouldn't. Matters of the heart never seemed to catch his interest.

The holidays, it seemed, were the most he was willing to offer.

Looking up at the night sky, she sent a silent prayer his way, hoping against hope that he was well.

Upon arriving at the 9th Mansion and making their way to the sixth floor, Sylvia was ushered ahead. The moment the doors swung open, she was greeted by a sea of flowers, which left her momentarily stunned.

Eugene emerged from amidst the blooms, a large bouquet of roses in hand. The flowers, a fiery shade of red, seemed to mirror Sylvia's own elegance under the soft glow of the room's lighting.
