Chapter 233 Nanson frowned slightly. "Bitten? Which kid's been that naughty? Does it hurt?" Anthea smiled, "It stung a bit at first, but it's all good now." Nightfall cswiftly.

The family of three sat down for their festive dinner.

Carole had prepared a feast for tonight, including a bubbling fondue pot, and an assortment of chicken, duck, and fish dishes.

Nanson raised his glass and stood up, "Sis, Annie, this is Annie's first Christmas back with us, and our first celebrating a fresh start. Here's to brighter days ahead! Cheers!" "Cheers!" Carole and Anthea stood, raising their glasses as well.

That's when colorful fireworks began to paint the sky outside their window.

The air was filled with the deafening sound of fireworks and crackers.

Watching the display, Anthea's lips curved into a gentle smile, "Mom, Uncle, shall we go set off sfireworks after dinner?" "Sure thing," Nanson nodded, Carole chuckled, "You two go on, I'll sit this one out." Tomorrow was the Christmas Day, and she had a lot to do. As she spoke, Carole handed Anthea an envelope, "Annie, here's spocket money for you. I hope good luck finds you in the coming year!" "Thanks, Mom." Anthea paused, then accepted the envelope with both hands.

"And here's something from me," Nanson handed her another envelope, "I'll just wish my dear Annie stays forever young and beautiful!" "Thank you, Uncle!" Anthea never knew how happy it could be to receive pocket money. It felt so good to have family! After the dinner, Anthea joined Nanson outside to light fireworks.

The noise from the crowd mingled with the sound of fireworks, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Nanson picked up a rocket firework, "Think you can handle lighting this by yourself, Annie?" "What's there to be afraid of?" Anthea's eyes sparkled with mischief, "I've even lit bigger things than that." "All talk and no action!" Nanson didn't take her seriously.

Anthea didn't bother to explain. She took the rocket and lit it.

Whoosh-Bang! The rocket soared and exploded in the sky, Throughout it all, Anthea didn't even blink, nor did she cover her ears.

Cool as a cucumber.

Not what you'd expect from a young girl.

"Light that big one over there," Nanson pointed to a larger firework.

"OK." Anthea flashed an "OK" sign and crouched to light it.

This firework was specially chosen by Nanson.

It was named 'Celestial Maidens Scattering Flowers,' rumored to be breathtakingly beautiful.

The fuse was lit, and a firework shot up.

But the sky remained empty, and no fireworks appeared.

Nanson frowned slightly, had he been cheated by The owner? Just as Anthea turned back towards him/ A multitude of fireworks burst into life behind her.

Bang! A cascade of brilliant colors framed Anthea's silhouette.

Nanson quickly grabbed his phone to capture this beautiful moment.

Anthea looked absolutely radiant.

He posted the video to his social circle, "Just showing off this is my dearest niece. Chapter 233 At that moment, Anthea's phone chimed.

She pulled it out of her pocket.

It was a message on WhatsApp.

The first to message were Lizzie and Tanya. Then cSarah.

Anthea sent the video of herself with the fireworks to the three of them, followed by an emoji. She wanted to share that joy.

After replying to their messages, Anthea received another greeting.

"Merry Christmas."It was from Sherman.

This was probably the first message between the two since they'd shared contacts
