When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 727

Stepping away wasn’t about catching the fireworks show; it was about giving Jane and Gregory some alone time.

And it just so happened that Christine was ready to call it a night too, feeling the toll of the day’s adventures.

Merritt bent down, hoisting Christine onto his shoulders, giving her a boost.

Christine let out a surprised yelp, but once she found her balance, excitement took over, lighting up her face with a smile.

She let her hair down, giving it a shake, her eyes sparkling with a drunken allure.

Tapping Merritt on the head, she shouted, “Let’s kick it up a notch!”

With a laugh, Merritt complied, striding forward confidently.

His height, combined with Christine’s, made them stand out in the crowd, turning heads and even prompting some to snap photos with their phones.
