Chapter 324
BANG!
Multicolored flowers bloomed across the sky, burning bright before fading like falling stars hauntingly beautiful.
She had never seen fireworks like these before. They were breathtaking, so bright they outshone the stars in the
night sky.
She exhaled deeply, as if releasing her burdens. "They're beautiful."
Zachary moved closer to Sarah. "I don't know what Vivian told you, but | need to make this clear - we're just
friends. Nothing more, no other feelings involved."
He paused before adding, "But you should stay away from her."
Sarah frowned. "Why?"
"She's not who you think she is. She's different from Lucy or Charlotte."
Sarah thought for a moment. "Are you saying she might hurt me?"
She suddenly remembered Linda's words about the woman with the blue diamond ring and the mole behind her
ear. It must have been Vivian. She was dangerous.
Zachary lowered his eyes and said softly, "Sarah, I'm worried about you."

Sarah took a deep breath, looking at Zachary in disbelief. "So all this time, you were trying to protectfrom
her?"
Zachary pressed his lips together in silence, but his answer was clear.
"Zachary, you're so arrogant. You were afraid she'd hurt me, so you hurtinstead?" Sarah's voice cracked, her
eyes reddening.
Zachary shook his head, uncertainty flashing in his dark eyes. "It's not like that. | couldn't risk your safety."
Sarah let out a bitter laugh. "So you couldn't risk my safety? Then why clooking fornow that we're apart
and I'm supposedly better protected?"
Zachary was speechless. He'd initially stayed away to protect her, but when she really left, he couldn't help
trying to get close again.
"Zachary, don't you see how selfish you're being?" Sarah stared at him.
"It was my fault."
As the last sparks faded from the sky, everything fell quiet. Only the lingering smoke remained, as if the brilliant
display had never happened.
They stood in silence, listening to the rustling leaves in the woods. Sarah could hear her own heartbeat.
"Mr. Reynolds, go home. Stop doing pointless things," Sarah said hoarsely.
Zachary gave a sad smile. "Did the fireworks make you happy?"
Sarah paused, confused by his sudden question, but nodded. "Yes."
"Then that's enough," Zachary said softly.
Sarah found his response strange and turned to leave.

Sarah tried to push him away, struggling against his grip, but couldn't break free.
"Mmph... let go..." His lips were warm against hers, and gradually she stopped resisting, closing her eyes.

Zachary licked his lips, as if savoring the moment. "Sarah, you still love me."
Sarah's face flushed red. What a gentleman turned rogue! "You jerk!" She shoved him away and fled to the car.
