It was past midnight and a new year had arrived.
Anna gazed at the glamorous fireworks, a garish display of intense colors reflected in her eyes.
With the new year comes a new fight.
Sooner or later, I will completely break off from Jordan’s control and achieve freedom!
Now that her sons had grown up and did not need her protection anymore, she desired to live for herself as there was still plenty of time to enjoy life.
Two of them stood by the window and marveled at the fireworks outside.
Every firework that exploded in the sky would light up Cooper’s facial features, and it seemed like different stories of Cooper were reflected through the glow each time.
Anna was extremely curious about Cooper.
She had come across too many men—the domineering ones, the gentle ones, the wise ones, the foolish ones, even the obscene ones… Nevertheless, she had never met someone as infatuated as Cooper.
She had noticed the photos on his bookshelves the moment she entered the study room. Browsing through them, she realized many were the pictures of him and Annabel.

“I guess your prompt agreement to my request is very much due to my resemblance to your Anna,” she murmured. Anna seemed to be talking to Cooper but at the same time it seemed like she was talking to herself.
Cooper maintained his silence.
