The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 733

Citrine was just about to speak when Sebastian suddenly leaned in, his handsome face coming so close she could see every gentle line of his expression. His gaze softened to something almost unbearably tender.

"Are you really willing to miss out on this?"

Citrine had already been wavering-she did want to see the show. Hearing Sebastian's low voice made up her mind. "Alright, let's go."

Sebastian's lips curled in a satisfied little smile.

Down below, tourists—some standing, some lounging on the sand-sang along and danced, every now and then shouting and laughing with pure delight. The whole place buzzed with excitement.

In this kind of atmosphere, it was impossible to remember anything sad.

Citrine and Sebastian found a spot to sit, ordering a few drinks so they could both catch a pleasant buzz-after all, it just wouldn't feel right to soak up this scene without a little alcohol.
