Of course, Florence had not had enough fun. She still could take pictures for an hour, make a snowman for two hours and throw snowballs for three hours.
Although she was reluctant to leave, she also understood that they had to hurry on their way today as they were not travelling.
She nodded obediently and followed Ernest to get in the car.
The heating of the car was turned on so it was very warm. The majority of the coldness around her body instantly dissipated.
And at this time, Ernest held Florence’s small hands and his broad palm gently rubbed against her hands, making her hands that felt a little cold gradually feel warm.
The warmth entered Florence’s body and went straight to her heart.
Then, Timothy and another bodyguard also got in the car. The cold was completely isolated outside the car.
After they were ready, the motorcade set off once again.
Ernest’s sturdy arm encircled Florence’s waist and pulled her to his arms.
He said in a low voice, “Take a nap.”
Florence froze. She was a little depressed because during the journey, Ernest had always been telling her to sleep.
Was he thinking that there was only boredom in the car and they could only sleep.
But before that, Florence had been letting Ernest leaning on her to sleep and she had gone out to play for quite a while. So, she was not that energetic anymore.
Therefore, she obediently lay on Ernest’s body and prepared to sleep.
However, the road condition during the journey was really bad as the car was wobbly as it moved. Also, she was not that sleepy so she did not manage to fall asleep even after quite some time.
She then raised her head again and inadvertently looked at the scene outside the window.
This action made her immediately suck in a breath of cold air.
“Don’t look.”
Ernest promptly covered her eyes.
But, Florence already saw everything. Her face turned pale and her body was stiffening.
Her voice was low and she was quite uneasy, “Outside…”
Ernest’s eyes darkened. His voice was low, gentle and with some comforting tone.
“Relax, it’s just that the road looks a bit dangerous. The drivers are professionally trained so they have no problems driving on these roads.”
“Just don’t look at it.”
But, she had already looked at it.
Although it was only a short glance, Florence was very jittery now like a person afraid of heights who was suddenly thrown to the only iron chain on the cliff.
It was shaky.
And their current situation was actually similar.
Outside the car window, Florence almost could not see the road and on the side, there were a cliff and a bottomless abyss at a very close distance. There were even clouds and fog.
It could be seen that they were now in an extremely high place.
The road conditions were also so dangerous.
They would fall if there was any carelessness.
Ernest tilted Florence’s little face to face him, letting her look him in the eye.
His voice was gentle and his low voice seemed to have soothing magic.
“I’m here, I won’t let you fall. Florence, trust me.”
Trust him.
These two words were injected into Florence’s heart like a warm stream.
Her eyes flickered as she looked at him. The restlessness in her heart was slightly eased.
Her voice was soft, “I just got scared just now.”
It was her first time to see such a dangerous environment so she could not get used to it.
But, she had long been mentally prepared. Before coming, she was already told that this road was immensely dangerous.
The car might accidentally fall or there might even be a landslide or avalanche.
An accident might occur at any time and endangered their lives.
Florence took a deep breath. Her eyes shone as she looked at Ernest.
