Chapter 1107:

Catching my gaze, Alden’s lips curved into a knowing smile. “Now that we’ve all assembled here, let’s set aside these troubling matters. The Pierce family’s protection blankets this estate, with guards stationed at every approach. Even the Wizard Clan, brazen as they may be, wouldn’t dare launch another assault here. We might as well surrender to pleasure, indulging in unrestrained merriment while we can. What say you all?”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands with purposeful authority. Within moments, attendants glided forward bearing trays laden with exquisite delicacies and vessels of aromatic wine.

Alden rose to his feet, his face illuminated by a dazzling smile as he beckoned to us. “Come along now, let’s ascend to the rooftop. The view there is absolutely breathtaking!”

“Yes! Let’s not allow such trivial concerns to dampen our spirits,” I interjected eagerly, relief evident in my voice.

Without hesitation, our entire group followed Alden’s lead to the rooftop.

The view that greeted us stole my breath away. Stretching before us lay an endless tapestry of blossoms. Flowers in vibrant hues captured the sunset’s golden light, transforming the landscape into a shimmering masterpiece.

A soft breeze carried the sweet fragrance of blossoms, refreshing my senses and lifting my spirits.

Standing at the railing, I inhaled deeply, feeling the flower-scented air gradually ease the weight in my chest.

Alden strolled over to join me, holding a glass of wine which he presented with obvious pride, like showing off a prized possession. “Makenna, give this a try. It’s our winery’s signature blend, and I’m certain you’ll enjoy it.”

I smiled as I accepted the glass, taking a light sip. The wine flowed smoothly across my palate with subtle sweetness.

“It’s really delicious!”

I couldn’t help but praise it as I continued drinking, each sip more enjoyable than the last.

In this moment, it felt as though we’d left all our troubles behind. We stood there gazing at the vast sea of flowers, completely carefree.

Moonlight poured down like a silver waterfall, bathing the rooftop in a soft, ethereal glow. I was drunk—drenched in a warm, dizzying fog that made everything hazy and dreamlike.

The others had surrendered to the alcohol too, scattered across the lounge chairs in various states of sleepy disarray.

Alden sat with his head tilted back, a slow, satisfied smile playing on his lips.

Jett appeared completely lost to the world, his eyes closed, chest rising and falling in a peaceful rhythm.

Clayton and Dominic leaned lazily against their seats, empty wine glasses dangling from their fingers, their expressions lulled into serene contentment.

A wave of dizziness washed over me as I stood, swaying slightly. I considered fetching someone to help bring them all inside, but just then, a hand reached for mine—gentle, steady.

I glanced down to find Bryan.

His eyes were sharp and clear despite the haze around us, and one brow lifted as he spoke in that familiar, warm tone. “Makenna, are you alright? Would you like to take a walk with me?”

I hesitated, the fog in my mind making everything feel distant—but after a beat, I nodded.
