Olivia felt the cold a lot and wrapped herself in the quilt, only her fair face and thick black hair exposed.
She was woken up, but her just took a short nap that she wasn't clear. Her eyes were all dry.
She squinted at Brayden, her eyes were in a daze.
Brayden was not clear at first, but when he saw Olivia like this, he was awake.
With his hands on his head, he looked at Olivia, his eyes full of tenderness.
Her dazed appearance was very cute.
Although Olivia's eyes were half open, she was still half asleep.
She didn't wake up and was very sleepy.
But she heard Belle, so she was trying to wake up.
After a while, she opened her eyes and the blur in her eyes faded.
"What time is it?"
Brayden saw the clock on the bedside table and said, "Ten past eight."
"Yes, time to get up."
Olivia rubbed her eyes and sat up.
Brayden looked at her sleepy look and said, "We can't sleep in since we are going to sweep the tombs, but after that we can have a lazy morning."
If it was not that important, he would not let her get up that early, but the ceremony was sacred, and he must take her with him.
"Okay."
Olivia understood and had no discontent.
In her hometown, she would go to sweep tombs early in the morning at the first day of the New Year.
The two of them packed up and went downstairs. Eli and Amelia came down one after another.
But they all looked like they weren't awake.
Seeing how these people looked, Emma said, "I told you to go to bed early last night. None of you listened to me. Look at your shadows."
Emma said this with a smile. Obviously, she didn't mean to blame them, just a casual tease.
Amelia immediately sat down beside her and held her hand, putting his head on her shoulder, and muttered, "I just want to show the ancestors my shadows on purpose."
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
So did Olivia.
Only last night did she know that Amelia was older than her, but he looked like a child, both in appearance or personality.
Olivia thought it was good that people should live a simple and relaxing life.
Then it would be easy to be happy.
When they came downstairs, breakfast was already on the table, but the chess players and audience hadn't come yet.
They said their game would be over when everyone was present.
Now everyone was here, but people in the leisure room didn't come out, so they went outside to call Everett.
Belle said, "I'll go get them."
Cristina said, "I'll go with you and see if they've played a good game."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the people in that room came out.
"I could tell the winner for a long time. You can't win."
"Haha, I can tell it too."
These men came out laughing and talking, and the atmosphere immediately became more lively.
Cristina said, "The winner today will be rewarded with an egg."
As she spoke, she picked up a white and tender egg.
Everyone looked at the egg and laughed.
Olivia stood in such a lively atmosphere, with some kind of heartfelt happiness.
She had never been so happy before.
Everett looked at Olivia's smile. His eyes seemed to be glued to her, and it was hard to move them away.
A large family had breakfast and went to the cemetery with the things they had prepared.
Every one of them must go to sweep the tombs.
And when they came back, it was noon, time for lunch.
After lunch, everyone was free to do what they want.
Brayden had no plans at the moment. He only wanted to take Olivia to rest after lunch.
They slept late last night, so Olivia didn't look well.
She was obviously a little haggard.
Belle also saw that. After lunch, she let the two of them go to rest.
They didn't have to worry about anything else.
As for others, some went out to meet friends or classmates. Anyway, they all had their own plans.
Wade did not interfere.
