They kept looking at each other quietly, seeming unfazed, but their hearts inwardly caught in a turmoil.

After a while, Aurelia sniffled and grinned brightly.

“But thank you for taking me here, uncle!”

She copied what Neil did just now and caught a firefly in her hands to watch it in her palms with a blissful smile adorning her face. Then she released it.

Fireflies danced in the night sky, complementing the stars above, and looked amazing.

Aurelia ran and skipped as she chased after them, waving a hand and watching the fireflies scatter. Her carefree laughter echoed in the beautiful night.

She turned around to look at Neil, her gaze longing.

He had said that the fireflies with double sets of wings in this rainforest were the only ones in this world. He was also irreplaceable in her heart.

Cordelia rested her chin in her hands as she sighed, looking at the invitation on the table. The familiar gilded pattern on the cover gave her a headache.

Cordelia showed him the invitation.

In order to celebrate the Floria Festival, the royal family had invited known names in society to the palace to enjoy the flowers and connect.

As one of the biggest taxpayers in Southeast Aciatic, the Irwins were naturally invited.

“The Floria Festival’s always only for the women. The royals who are attending are usually the queen and princesses,” Cordelia said softly. “But the old king has no children, so this event’s fully handled by Victoria.”

Zephyr understood it. She did not want anything to do with Victoria.
