Artis Hart never expected to see Ethan Brewer again. On Christmas Eve in 2009, they nearly had something. But it ended before it began. Now eight years later, when an accident lands Artis in the hospital and Ethan at her bedside, old feelings resurface quickly and so do the doubts that tore them apart. He remembers the way things ended. She remembers the hurt. Neither of them is sure if the timing is finally right, or if history is about to repeat itself. Told through dual perspectives and timelines, Christmas Lights traces the fragile line between first love and second chances. Artis and Ethan must decide whether the bond they once shared can survive the truth of who they’ve become. +++ Hii, Kai here. So "Christmas Lights" is a pretty atypical book (especially on Webnovel) because each chapter only has a maximum of 100 words. But you are in for a ride because less words = more emotions pumped into them. This is a work I am very proud of and wrote during a difficult period in life. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've been writing professionally for 10 years and now I'm on Webnovel to practice consistency. I'm not that good with writing blurbs but I can assure you that my writing is great. It'll be wonderful if you decide to give me and my books a chance. If you liked the story, consider adding the book to your library and leaving a review. You can also contact me via my socials.

Vivienne once believed that her relationship with Gideon was nothing more than a short-lived adventure. He didn’t like marriage, and she didn’t want to be tied down. They matched each other frighteningly well and with one impulsive night… she ended up pregnant. Lacking the courage to face the famously cold and distant man, Vivienne disappeared without a word.

She hadn’t just disappeared… she had taken his son with her. When Vivienne returned from Paris Fashion Week and opened the door to her home, she found two versions of Gideon, one big, one small waiting in the living room. Gideon’s eyes darkened like a brewing storm. Back then, he was the one who insisted on “no marriage.” This time… he was the one determined to be tied to her first. A runaway heiress pregnant out of wedlock, a cold-hearted CEO who suddenly discovers he’s a father and the unexpected reunion that sparks a battle Gideon vows he won’t lose. No matter how far Vivienne runs, Gideon will come knocking. This time, she’s not escaping him.
