Chapter 34: New Year's Eve

Finally, the last night of the old year has come. Although Brian did not go to the US and just stayed at home with me, he gave a false notice that he was traveling far away to avoid anyone coming to visit.

All day yesterday until this afternoon, I was the one who went to the gate to receive gifts from his large and small partners and friends, while he hid in the room, playing the role of the absentee.

“Bella, come over here.” He called out when I just walked into the living room.

I obeyed him, rushed over and I realized he was talking to Mrs. Alina. I can see the New Year's atmosphere is also filling the space there, there are yellow chrysanthemums, apricot blossoms, and watermelons.

“Hi, ma'am.” I raised my hand and waved.

“Yeah. I called to say happy new year because the whole family is going to see the fireworks soon. Happy New Year, Bella.” Mrs. Alina said eagerly.

Southern California has spectacular New Year's Eve activities, with flower streets and fireworks too.
