Sydney buried her head in Henry's arms, grabbed Henry's clothes, and the hatred in her eyes surged.
"Olivia, it is all because of you!" she thought.
Olivia and Brayden went all the way up the mountain. This time, they didn't take a rest halfway. It was only about forty minutes before they reached the mountain top.
On the top of the mountain was flat ground. There were magnificent temples.
The place looked like a huge palace.
It was obvious that the local people paid great attention to this place.
There were many people here, and the air around them smelled of incense.
There were many worshippers.
The tourists were either taking pictures with their mobile phones, strolling around, or offering incense and worshipping. It was very lively.
But Olivia was still in a bad mood.
Brayden knew that Olivia was unhappy. He didn't say anything but took her to the canteen of the temple.
It was time for lunch.
Many people were eating.
The two of them found a place to sit down. Brayden said, "Sit here. I'll go get the food."
Olivia looked at the plates and soup bowls in the hands of the people around them and said, "Let's go together."
There were so many people here, and it would be difficult for him to take several plates and bowls alone.
Brayden smiled. "If you come with me, what about our seats?"
As he spoke, he looked around. "Look, there are so many people. Maybe after we get our food, the seats are taken."
Olivia nodded. "Then I'll wait for you here."
"Okay."
Brayden went to get some food, and Olivia was sitting there, looking out.
The windows of the temple were opened, and people could see the scenery outside. Olivia saw the mountains in the distance, ridge upon ridge.
There was mist on the mountains, and it looked like a fairyland.
The scenery here was excellent, but Olivia was not in the mood to enjoy it.
She looked away, lowered her head, elbows on the table, and covered her eyes with her hands.
Everyone had their own life, and everyone had to be responsible for it themselves.
She couldn't control others but only herself.
Brayden came back with food and the two of them began to eat.
Olivia didn't eat much, but Brayden kept picking up food for her, asking her to eat more, and Olivia had no choice but to eat it.
After the two of them finished eating, Brayden said, "Let's take a walk here, and then go to pray, okay?"
She was in a bad mood. A walk might help. When she was in a better mood, they would go to burn some incense and pray.
As long as they got to the little town before evening.
Or if it was really late, they could stay here for the night.
He had booked a room here in case they went late.
"Okay, I'm all yours."
Brayden smiled and held Olivia's hand. "Let's go."
"OK."
Life had to go on no matter what unless she wanted to abandon herself.
Therefore, she had to cheer herself up.
There were many temples on the top of the mountain, but in order to attract tourists, there were many stalls selling snacks and souvenirs.
Those were all local specialties.
There were many scenic spots to be enjoyed.
