Layla's words insinuated that even if he continued to stay in Cambrode, she would not be with him.
Eric understood what she meant but kept his composure. "I will check to see if there're any other tourist spots after this."
"My assistant made a travel plan. I will get her to send it to you," Layla said.
"Sure. Why didn't your assistant come with you?" Eric asked.
"She is coming here today as well. I told her to come with us, but she said she's going there by herself as she doesn't want to get in our way."
An hour later, the car stopped at the bottom of the mountain.
It was a famous spot for tourists, so it was swarming with people.
"The snow isn't that heavy here," Eric said after getting out. "Wear your hat and scarf properly. The temperature is lower here."
Layal put on her hat and scarf, covering everything but her eyes.
Though she was already twenty-five years old, her eyes still looked as innocent and pure as that of a child's.
"Gloves." He glanced at her eyes and reminded her.
Layla obediently took out her gloves from her purse and put them on.
"Zip your jacket up," he said.
She sighed. "Why are you treating me like a child? I'm not cold." Still, she obeyed and zipped her jacket up.
She was covered from head to toe and only her eyes were left uncovered, so she did not feel cold at all.
"Where are the tickets?" Eric asked.
"I made the reservation online so I just need to show them the receipt later." Layla took out her phone. "I can't even use my phone with these gloves on."
Layla took out her phone and accessed her contacts to delete Eric's number.
"Miss, please walk," said the woman behind Layla, reminding her that she was still standing in line, and it was moving.
Layla immediately put away her phone and noticed that she was about ten meters away from the ticket counter.
She glanced at the stores, looking for Eric. She was worried that he might not get back in time.
Eric had been paying attention to Layla as well and immediately took his wallet out to pay when he saw her moving forward.
Layla watched as he picked up a black plastic bag and hurried back to her. She did not know what he bought.
Layla immediately put her glove back on and asked, "What did you get?"
He opened the bag and said, "Some bread, biscuits, and drinks."
