    Chapter 634


    The fireworks began in one direction and eventually filled the entire night sky, disying a dazzling array of colors.


    Although the fireworks wereunched a distance away from the rehabilitation hospital, with fireworksing from every direction, their illuminationpletely lit up Maple Hill. "Wow, this is amazing!" Bianca eximed, almost tripping as she rushed outside excitedly. Wanda, who was also a fan of fireworks, hurried out to see the colorful disy.


    "Silly boy, what are you still waiting for? Go out and watch the fireworks with Wanda."


    Skyler chuckled before asking, "By the way, how many fireworks did you buy?"


    With a stunned expression, Finn replied, "I-I didn''t prepare any fireworks."


    "Who else could it be if it wasn''t you?"


    Skyler''s smile froze.


    With a smile, Shania chimed in, "It was me. This is my birthday gift to Wanda."


    Shein and Josie stared at Shania skeptically, finding her im hard to believe.


    "That''s why I arrived here yesterday. It was to prepare this surprise for Wanda," Shania said, smiling beautifully.


    Josie didn''t buy it.


    However, knowing that it wasn''t the time to question Shania, Josie smiled and said, "I should''ve known. Otherwise, why would a busy person like youe to Yorksle a day earlier? That''s really thoughtful of you, Shania."


    Shania sighed and said, "I''ve been so upied with work for thest few years that I haven''t spent much time with Wanda. Today is her 18th birthday. As her aunt, I felt obligated to do something special for her."


    Somehow, Josie felt that Shania''s tone wasced with irony, as if thetter was implying something about herself.


    With a faint smile, she asked, "Are you trying to make a point about me, Shania?"


    Shania silently took a sip of her red wine in response. Shein slightly frowned, feeling that something didn''t add up. He questioned how Shania knew about Maple Hill in the first ce. "How did you find out about Maple Hill then?" Skyler asked, his eyes narrowing.


    Shania was startled, not knowing how to exin. She had been utterly clueless about Wanda''s whereabouts until she attended this party. The address of the rehabilitation hospital wasn''t written on the birthday invitation either.


    Josie calmly replied, "I told her about it."


    "We had an agreement," Skyler reminded her, his expression icy.


    Josie said apologetically, "I''m sorry. I thought it was alright to tell someone I trust the most.


    Before Skyler could say anything, Finn quickly interjected, "Let it go, Dad. We will be a


    family soon, so we shouldn''t strain our rtionships."


    Skyler gulped his wine, sensing something amiss.


    Meanwhile, Wanda stood in the garden outside the vi, captivated by the fireworks blooming across the night sky. The colorful disy was beautiful and enchanting.


    She thought it was the best birthday gift she had ever received.


    As the sky lit up with more colors from the fireworks, Finn stood a distance away with the bouquet in his arms. He wore a puzzled expression.


    He wondered if Shania was indeed the person who had prepared these fireworks. Judging by the disy, the fireworks seemed to have been set off from at least four viges. The scale was almostparable to a New Year''s celebration in the city, costing about a million dors.


    Christine and the others were also watching the fireworks outside.


    Phoebe marveled, "I''ve never seen so many fireworks in my entire life, not even during New Year''s in my hometown!"


    With a hint of disappointment, Christine remarked, "If only the fireworks were closer to us!" Lily gazed at the fireworks, pondering, "Carlisle, this was from you, wasn''t it?"


    The fireworks showsted for half an hour. As the fireworks gradually diminished, Wanda''s smile faded as well. She was indeed fond of fireworks and would have been over the moon if anyone else had prepared such a show for her-anyone but Finn.


    When the fireworks finally ended, Maple Hill was once again enveloped in darkness.


    Wanda approached Finn and asked, "Did you prepare these fireworks?"


    Wearing aplicated expression, Finn shook his head and gently said, "It was from your Aunt Shania."


    "Aunt Shania?"


    Wanda''s eyes widened in disbelief. She hurried into the living room, her eyes reddening. "Aunt Shania! Thank you so much for the gift. I love it so much!"


    Wanda threw herself into Shania''s arms. Shania gently hugged her niece and whispered something in her ear. Wanda was stunned upon hearing it.
