EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 304

Both of them were dressed simply today. Probably for the show, Joan had prepared matching outfits for them. Suny was wearing an orange vest, gray tracksuit pants, and a white-and-grey UV-protection jacket; while Alicia was wearing a light purple vest, gray tracksuit bottoms, and a light pink-and-white UV-protection jacket. They had their hair tied up in a ponytail and both wore a cap. When you looked far and away, you could hardly tell one from the other.

Thinking of the envelope, Alicia opened it and found another clue card inside with only one sentence on it, “He stopped the carriage because he fell in love with the maple trees in late Autumn.”

It was another verse.

Alicia had yielded to these verses and looked towards Suny for help, “Do you know what it means, Suny?”

Suny was silent for a while and said, “No. Not for now.”

There was little clue and it was hard for them to guess.

They hiked for more than one hour. It was about noon and the sunlight was getting stronger.

They took a short break in the pavilion and the staff that had been following them didn’t stop until then.

This little path was rugged to walk along but it was really shady and cool.

Suny didn’t sweat much after a one-hour walk.

Alicia leaned against her shoulder, “Who set this question? It’s odd and only half was done.”

“Why don’t you just admit that you are not smart enough?” Suny smiled.

Once again, Alicia was humiliated. “It’s not my fault that I am not smart enough, isn’t it?”

“Behave yourself since you know that.” Suny lifted her hand to touch Alicia.

Jesus! Alicia thought Suny took her as a fool!

While Alicia was trying to defend her intelligence, Suny suddenly stood up and asked, “Since when there is any maple tree in J City?”

“What maple trees are you talking about?” Alicia was confused.

“Well, stay here.” Suny smiled, without any expectation that Alicia would understand it.

Then Suny walked towards a “maple tree” that was not far away from her. And soon enough, Suny found the artificial maple tree. Such an artificial maple tree popped up in the mountain and it was obvious that the crew arranged it here.

She took a look at the maple tree and put the maple tree with the clue card together.

“Is it an...artificial maple tree?” Alicia couldn’t hold her curiosity and ran over.

Suny turned and glanced at her, “What? You are not smart. You're not blind.”

“Suny, we are in the show. Please show me some respect!”

Alicia pulled Suny’s sleeves. She had to say it out now. Otherwise, she would be totally humiliated and ashamed when the show was aired.

Suny cast a glance at the camera. She raised her eyes and said, “Alright! I just do it for the firm, not you."

Then Suny kicked hard on the artificial maple tree suddenly. Alicia was surprised, “Suny, you...”

A card, looking exactly the same as a maple leaf, fell down on the ground right before Alicia could finish talking.

Alicia picked up the card unbelievably. The clue on the card told them to return to the place of departure and find the point card.

“Are they fooling us around?” Alicia couldn’t cheer up as she felt like having been fooled.

The staffs were too embarrassed. The one who had the camera on his shoulder blushed suddenly when he felt Suny was staring at him.

Suny took her eyes off and said, “OK. Let’s head back.”

They turned around to go downhill and happened to meet Shawn and Sam, who were going up the mountain.

“Have you found any clue, Alicia?”

Alicia was not a fool though she was not as clever as Suny. They were the competitors!

“No. So we’re going back to see whether we have missed something.”
