Chapter 516: Chapter 516: His Another Gift

Oliver White arrived suddenly and left just as decisively.

Just as she said, she was entrusted by someone to deliver a gift, and she left after delivering it.

In the end, she didn’t say who it was from.

Just… the surname was Wen.

Although it wasn’t the Wenren she knew, the surname still inexplicably intrigued Scarlett Jennings.

She opened the gift box; the packaging was exquisite, but inside was a pair of Ancient Silver Bells engraved with intricate patterns.

“Bells?”

Lucas Jennings exclaimed from the side, his eyes showing some disdain.

Going out of one’s way to deliver a gift, only for it to be a little trinket like this?

This item, supposedly a birthday present, seemed more like a full-month gift for a baby.

Even Scarlett Jennings was somewhat baffled upon seeing this gift, let alone Lucas.

Amidst the confusion, there was also an indescribable sense of disappointment.

First it was Nolan Snyder, then Oliver White.

Originally thinking it was just a simple birthday, inexplicably many unnecessary emotions emerged.

Perhaps sensing her subtle change in mood, Samuel Chalmers suddenly spoke to her,

“You’ve received gifts from others tonight; my gift should be arriving soon as well.”

Scarlett Jennings heard this, felt slightly puzzled, and looked at him.

“Didn’t you already give me your gift earlier?”

She gestured at the small handbag she had just replaced, where the North Spirit Stone still lay.

Samuel Chalmers’s expression became slightly nuanced when she mentioned the North Spirit Stone, but quickly returned to normal and he simply said,

“Besides that, there’s another gift.”

As Samuel Chalmers spoke, he suddenly extended his hand toward her.

Scarlett Jennings glanced at it, feeling a bit strange, but this time she straightforwardly grasped it.

Samuel Chalmers held her hand and led her out of the crowd toward a certain direction.

One was the protagonist of the evening, and the other was an existence that couldn’t be ignored.

As soon as they moved, they immediately caught the attention of many guests.

Lucas Jennings’s first reaction was to follow them.

But just as he took two steps, Donovan Jennings reached out to stop him.

Donovan looked at him with gentle brows and eyes, yet said,

“Don’t join the commotion.”

Lucas Jennings, dissatisfied, pointed in the direction the two had left,

“But Brother Donovan, my sister was taken away by Brother Samuel!”

As her most loyal younger brother, shouldn’t he follow to protect her?

Donovan Jennings couldn’t help but give him a sidelong glance, his expression rare and indescribable, and in a critical moment, Alicia Sharp came over and firmly dragged him away.

“Are you an idiot? Can’t you see everyone’s pretending not to notice? It’s a matter for the unwed young couple, why are you meddling? Don’t you have any discernment! Do you understand what it means to have a world of two?”

Alicia Sharp scolded loudly, leaving Lucas Jennings speechless and unable to retort.

Donovan Jennings listened from the side, only smiling helplessly.

Then, with peach blossom eyes, he looked toward where the two disappeared, secretly snorting in his heart,

Considering that tonight is a special occasion…

Meanwhile, Scarlett Jennings was led by Samuel Chalmers from the colorful lights of the park, all the way to a secluded castle.

The castle was a specially built fake building mainly for tourists to take photos, with a hidden staircase from the back leading up to the second floor.

Samuel Chalmers seemed very familiar with the amusement park’s layout, directly taking her up to the second floor.

Scarlett Jennings was a bit puzzled at first, but was quickly drawn in by the scene before her.

The second floor of the castle wasn’t particularly high, but from this angle, much of the amusement park was visible.

The park was brightly lit, with each part glowing with its unique light effects, the quietly rotating Ferris wheel in the night, the romantic carousel turning in bubbles.

Each part together forming a scene out of a fairy tale.

Scarlett Jennings thought that Samuel Chalmers wanted to show her the panoramic view of the amusement park, until suddenly a tiny green flicker flew across her vision.

Scarlett Jennings was startled and refocused to find many fireflies flying around her.

Green light spots softly flickering in the night, a sight she had never seen before.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her apricot eyes showing rare novelty, but she couldn’t help but wonder,

“How are there fireflies here?”

And during a season when summer had already passed?

Samuel Chalmers’s tone was unruffled as he explained,

“This area has a dedicated firefly breeding base.”

Scarlett Jennings was first surprised by how he, someone who had just returned, would know these things, but quickly understood.

It was probably Donovan Jennings who told him.

Her apricot eyes curved slightly, and she looked up at him,

“Is this what you meant by another gift?”

Samuel Chalmers met her gaze, his deep black eyes distant, yet he said,

“It’s not just that.”

His deep, pleasant voice, with just two simple words, was as melodious as a cello.

Just as Scarlett Jennings was about to ask, she heard a sudden whistling sound soaring into the sky beside her. She swiftly turned her head and saw a brilliant firework suddenly exploding in the night sky.

Bang!

As fireworks rose and burst, the sky not far from Scarlett Jennings was filled with dazzling, radiant fireworks.

Those fireworks intertwined, blooming into a variety of flowers in the night sky; the flowers scattered, condensing into clusters of colorful brilliance that fell into Scarlett Jennings’s eyes and etched in her heart.

…

When the first firework exploded, the guests also witnessed the unique fireworks.

The younger generation couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, pulling friends to the lawn to gaze at the brilliance covering the night sky.

Luca Jennings and parents from other families sat steadily in their places, subconsciously searching for Scarlett Jennings’s location when they saw the fireworks soar, and upon realizing she and Samuel Chalmers were not present, internally sighing in resignation.

Well, presumably the two had found a private spot to view the fireworks.

Unable to find his daughter, he simply looked over at Donovan Jennings.

For once, his gaze carried a hint of appreciative affirmation.

Despite some uncontrollable surprises cropping up in between, overall, he had done well.

Especially this firework display.

He figured that Scarlett would appreciate it very much.

Donovan Jennings met Luca Jennings’s approving gaze with a mild smile and then shook his head.

These fireworks were not arranged by him.

To be precise, he had originally prepared a fireworks display.

However, his application for a fireworks launch wasn’t approved due to urban air pollution management and other reasons.

Thus, he had prepared a drone light show for tonight.

But now it seemed that there would be no chance for that to take place.

Ha…

Samuel Chalmers, the always scheming Demon King.

Who knew in the past that he could be so romantically inclined?

One wonders how he obtained permission for the launch.

…

The fireworks display lasted for more than half an hour.

Scarlett Jennings watched in full enjoyment, the slight disappointment she initially felt had long dissipated along with the continuously blooming fireworks.

The only puzzling aspect was, although the fireworks lasted over half an hour, there seemed to be very little smoke drifting in the air?

Samuel Chalmers explained,

“These are new type of fireworks with minimal emissions, causing no pollution to the city air.”

Scarlett Jennings wasn’t very familiar with fireworks but had no reason to doubt Samuel Chalmers’s words.

“Samuel Chalmers, thank you.”

This was the most beautiful set of fireworks she had ever seen in her life.

His gift was wonderful.

Samuel Chalmers watched the smile in her eyes without speaking, only letting the corner of his mouth slowly lift into a gentle smile that matched hers.

…

Unseen by Scarlett Jennings, beyond the layers of clouds over the city,

A dragon-shaped figure was faintly visible within the cloud layers.

The Black Dragon concealed its form, swiftly moving through the night sky while diligently absorbing all the smoke and dust emitted by the fireworks.

After absorbing until almost full, it reluctantly exhaled an impure breath,

“This isn’t something a dragon should do…”
