Chapter 395
Skyler wiped away her tears and looked up at Cornelia, surprised to find Comelia’s eyes red too, “Comelia, what’s up with you?”
I’m alright.” Comelia reached out her hand, gently pinching Skyler’s face, “Why don’t I feel pain? Am I dreaming?”
Skyler was amused by her, reaching out to pinch Cornelia’s face, “Dork, does it hurt now?”
Comelia, “It hurts, so I’m not dreaming today, I really met you.”
Ever since Skyler left, Comelia had met Skyler more than once in her dreams. Especially in these past few days, since she learned that Skyler had been under the watch of Zavier, she had been dreaming about Skyler a lot.
She dreamed of Skyler being taken back to the Capital by Zavier, covered in blood, Zavier breaking Skyler’s leg and asking her if she would still run away.
This morning, Comelia was awakened by this nightmare.
“Of course, it’s really mel” Skyler grabbed Comelia, “It’s getting late, let’s get something to eat first, and tomorrow I’ll take you to see the farm where I work.”
Cornelia nodded, “Alright.”
Skyler led Cornelia towards a two-story wooden cabin ahead, “That little cabin is my home now. It’s not big, but it’s comfy
“As long as you feel comfy.” Cornelia understood what Skyler meant by comfy.
Skyler lived in the luxurious mansion of the Rivera family in the Capital, with its fancy decorations and ser vants attending to her, she was leading a wealthy life that others envied. But only Skyler herself knew that such a life was like a canary trapped in a cage, with no freedom to speak of.
Skyler tried her best to escape, just to pursue the freedom of her heart.
The light in the cabin wasn’t very bright, but it was enough for Cornelia to see Skyler’s face clearly. After more than a month, Skyler looked much better in complexion and spirit.
Skyler introduced, “The cabin is divided into two floors, the ground floor is for living and working, and the upstairs is the bedroom and study. Let me show you around.”
Cornelia followed Skyler around the cabin. Although it wasn’t very big, it was very clean and warm, much more comfortable than her -own home in the Capital.
After touring the cabin, Skyler poured Cornelia a cup of tea, “Cornelia, I’ve prepared a barbecue for you tonight, we can eat and chat.” Comelia said, “Skyler, you don’t have to fuss, 1 just came to see you. It doesn’t matter what we eat.”
Skyler chuckled, “Alright, actually I just wanted some BBQ. There’s no one to cat with me at the farm, now that I have someone to share it with, how could I miss this opportunity?”
“Then let me help you prepare.” Cornelia was about to stand up, but Skyler pushed her back into her seat, “I’ve already prepared everything. You’ve come all this way to see me, how could I ask you to lift a finger?”
Skyler set up the BBQ first, then lit the charcoal, and brought out two plates of steak from the kitchen, “This beef is from our own farm, I’m not bragging, but it’s definitely yummier than supermarket steak.”
Looking at the top-notch steak, Cornelia rubbed her hands in excitement, “Looks like I’m in for a feast tonight. But this delicious beef, I’m afraid two pieces might not be enough for me.”
Skyler, laughing, brought out two more plates of lamb chops from the kitchen, “Besides beef, this lamb is also from our own farm”
