“Come on, let’s hurry to the rooftop terrace and set off some fireworks.” Zinnia cheered. Brimming with excitement, Zinnia quickly changed and trotted out.

“Put on your scarf. It’s cold outside,” Nathan reminded her as he and the others were clearing the dishes, noticing Zinnia coming out. Nathan and the others were clearing the dishes.

“Okay,” Zinnia chirped, then ducked back into her room to grab her scarf. After carefully browsing through her favorite pretty scarves, Zinnia finally settled on a strawberry pink one knitted with tiny hearts.

By the time she finished carefully selecting her scarf, Zinnia emerged to find the three men had already cleared the dining table, with the living room’s ventilation system humming softly and the air feeling fresh.

“Let’s go.” Zinnia adjusted her scarf eagerly.

The three men quickly grabbed their coats and headed for the door.

Yannis shrugged on his coat and bent down to pick up a box of fireworks from the floor. Jackson grabbed a box too, leaving Nathan and Zinnia with nothing to carry.

They all piled into the elevator, heading for the rooftop terrace. The rooftop was spacious. For the New Year’s celebration, someone decorated the area, stringing up festive lights. Tables and chairs were arranged, laden with drinks, fresh fruit, and candies.

Jackson’s assistant had even brought up several crates of large fireworks, ready for the celebration. “Put the fireworks down. Let’s play together.” Zinnia bounced over to Yannis’s side, reaching eagerly for some sparklers.

Yannis lowered the box, letting Zinnia grab a box first to indulge her eagerness. Zinnia grabbed a box of sparklers, tore it open with excitement, and eagerly pulled one out.

“Master, can you light this for me?” Zinnia bounced over to Nathan, eagerly holding out her sparkler. Nathan took out his lighter and gently lit the sparkler for her.

As beautiful sparks burst into the air, Zinnia’s face lit up with a radiant smile. “So pretty! Master, you should try too,” Zinnia exclaimed eagerly. Without waiting for a reply, she lit another sparkler and pressed it into Nathan’s hand.

“Jackson, come on.” Zinnia lit another sparkler and skipped over to him.

Jackson took it. “Thanks, Zinnia.”

“None for me?” Yannis asked, stepping up beside her, his deep gaze lingering on her.

“But aren’t there a whole pile of sparklers right in front of you?” she
