No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208
Jane was stunned.
*This ice crystal-colored unicorn. What is it?”
It did not look like a sculpture.
It was alive.
And it was moving closer to Jane and Hugh.
The creature lowered its head respectfully.
Hugh gave Jane an encouraging gaze, and she reached out her hand to touch it.
It felt cold.
As if it was alive, the Ice Crystal Unicorn reacted.
It responded accurately and appropriately to Jane’s touch.
The Unicorn snuggled against Jane’s palm.
“This miracle can only last for this night.”
“As you know, I had put together a scientific research team to develop things suitable for people with Type Omega blood to
use.”
“This Ice Crystal Unicorn was developed by chance.”
It costed millions a night to maintain this Ice Crystal Unicorn.
And it would shatter once the sun came out.
It was a beautiful fairy tale happening on just one Christmas night.
This bit of money was nothing to Hugh.
But if it could bring happiness to Jane, then that money was worth it!
“Go on up. The Unicorn will bring us to the next paradise.”
“Okay.”
Jane was eager to try.
Hugh had given Jane a lot of surprises that night.
Something like a Pandora’s box.
Every time it opened, something unimaginable would happen.
Jane got on the Unicorn first.
Hugh followed closely behind.
He wrapped his hands around Jane’s waist.
He then held the reins of the Ice Crystal Unicorn.

The Ice Crystal Unicorn seemed to have received an order and began to run toward the door.
Jane’s red evening gown fluttered in the air like a ribbon.
The man behind Jane looked as handsome as a god. He had the aura of a Wetanean prince and his deep and aloof eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at Jane.
Everything was as beautiful as a fairy tale.
It was impossible for one to even imagine such a fairy tale could be created if one did not witness it in person.
This would not be possible with money alone.
It required an immense amount of love for a person.
Only then could this dreamy scene come to life.
Jane could feel Hugh’s effort in the details every time they walked past a scene.
Until the Ice Crystal Unicorn reached the hall with Jane and Hugh on its back.
The lights in the hall were off.
There was only pitch darkness
Except for a ray of light that concentrated in the middle of the hall.
And there was a meadow with changing seasons.
On it hung a swing full of redbuds.
There were even rabbits and squirrels, animals that could not possibly be in a building, within the meadow
With a swoosh, the animals darted into the darkness.
Jane raised an eyebrow. “Is this virtual technology? Or was it developed by your research team?”
“Both. Want to try?”
“Of course!”
Since she was already there, she had to enjoy the surprise to the fullest.
Red ripples were created on the floor as Jane walked toward the redbuds swing in her heels.
She stepped on the grass in her heels.
This feeling.
The grass felt real.
But when Jane crouched over and touched it with her fingertips, she realized that it was just a virtual image.
Jane tilted her head slightly and looked at Hugh, who was walking to her side. She asked curiously, “Mr. Croft. I have to ask you this. How can you make a virtual image feel so realistic?”
This was beyond Jane’s knowledge and all of what she had seen and experienced so far.
Virtual images that felt so realistic to the touch.
And also this seemingly alive Ice Crystal Unicorn.
Jane wondered just how brilliant the research team that Hugh had put together could be.
They were actually able to come out with these things.
In terms of research ability, they would not be inferior to those scientific research organizations on the national level.
“I’m afraid it will take three days and three nights just to explain the theory. Do you still want to hear about it?”
“Forget it, I ***studying. I prefer playing and having fun.”
Jane tactfully put her curiosity back in the bag.
Why would she want to study on such a fun day like this?
Jane sat on the redbud swing.
Well. This was a real swing.
The considerate Hugh stood behind her and pushed the swing gently.
Jane grabbed the rope of the swing with both hands. Her red dress flittered through the air.
She closed her eyes slightly. All of a sudden, she smelled the fragrance of wind and snow.
Hugh must have set up some arrangements elsewhere to lure the snow in.
It was not cold, though.
Instead, it was very comfortable.
“Crack, crack, crack.”
There seemed to be a camera snapping away somewhere in the dark.
Jane was too ***to be concerned with it.
She continued until she had enough playing on the swing.
“Okay, Hugh I’m done.”
“Okay, Hugh replied gently.
The swing stopped.
Jane was about to stand up, when suddenly, there was a series of loud bangs.
The lights turned on.
The entire hall was lit up.
There was no one else in the hall.
But there was the melodious sound of a cello.
And it was accompanied by the clear tune of the piano.
They were playing a very famous Christmas song.
Then.
Hugh came up to Jane.
He knelt on one knee and held Jane’s hand in his.
There was a zealous look on his face.
The graceful and noble ruler was kneeling on one of his knees.
Those people hiding in the dark corners were shocked and in disbelief.
Hugh knew that there were people around.
They were his loyal subordinates who respected him and would follow him everywhere.
Even so, Hugh still knelt on one knee in front of Jane.
Evidently, this woman whom Hugh put in so much effort for, even flying in from Meridonia just to spend Christmas with her, was really important to him.
“Can I invite the most beautiful lady of the night to dance with me?”
Hugh’s deep and attractive voice accentuated his gentlemanly demeanor.
And because Jane had said that Hugh looked very handsome when he smiled, therefore, Hugh was smiling gently from the bottom of his heart at that moment.
“Of course.”
At this point, what reason did Jane have to refuse?
She took Hugh’s hand and the two danced to the melodious sound of the cello.
Hugh had one arm around Jane’s waist.
His other hand was intertwined with Jane’s.
When he looked down, he could see Jane’s fair face.
And he could smell Jane’s mesmerizing fragrance.
She smelled so sweet that he wanted to kiss her so badly.
“Gulp.”
Hugh’s adam’s apple moved up and down.
He had to keep swallowing his saliva in secret.
The woman he loved deeply was in his arms.
However, he had to suppress his urges.
No matter what, Hugh was just an ordinary man.
It was too torturous.
“You dance very well, Janie. From whom did you learn it from?”
To divert his attention from his desires, Hugh had to talk about something else.
“I learned it myself. You know, people of Type Omega blood learn everything very quickly.”
“Also, you are aware of how this Christmas tune will end, right?”
Jane’s words almost stopped Hugh’s heart.
There was a reason why Hugh had chosen this song. And it was out of a little longing of his.
There was a good chance that little longing will be overlooked.
Else!
Jane knew, and she even voiced it out!
The next second, the moment the dance song was about to end.
Jane tiptoed.
And planted a kiss on Hugh’s lips.
