His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 530

At noon.

The three of them sat inside the amusement park's premium scenic restaurant.

The temperature inside was perfectly warm, allowing them to finally shed their heavy winter coats.

The table was fully loaded with the restaurant's signature dishes, almost all of which perfectly matched Virginia's tastes.

She had just picked up her silverware, planning to grab a piece of BBQ ribs for Cindy, when the phone on the table suddenly buzzed.

An unsaved international number was flashing wildly across the screen.

Virginia put down her silverware, pressing the answer button.

"Ginny!" An aged, yet incredibly booming and energetic voice echoed from the other end of the line.

Virginia completely froze.

That name, combined with that exact voice, caused her fingers to unconsciously tighten their death grip on the phone.

"...Professor?" she frowned, blurting out the title before she could even stop herself. The moment it left her mouth, she was genuinely startled by her own reaction.

Doctor White paused for a whole two seconds before bursting into a hearty laugh.

"It seems that rascal Kian really wasn't lying to me. The Reversal Serum actually worked on you. How are you feeling right now?"

Virginia squeezed her eyes shut, desperately trying to scour her mind for any complete memories regarding the Professor and Kian Shaw.

In the very next second, an absolute avalanche of complex medical terminology, massive stacks of English research papers, and the distinct faces of Doctor White and Kian came crashing violently into her brain.

The needle-like, piercing agony instantly ripped through her temples once again.

Her brows locked together in pain, and her face turned visibly pale in seconds. Even her breathing fell completely out of rhythm.

Archer immediately sensed that something was terribly wrong.

She stared at his devastatingly handsome face right in front of her. Looking into those eyes that were usually as dead and calm as an ancient well, yet were now entirely overflowing with nothing but her, her heart gave a sudden, violent lurch. She opened her mouth to speak.

Just as she was about to say something, the little girl suddenly pointed outside, screaming with pure excitement. "Daddy, Mommy, look! The snow is getting so heavy! It looks just like goose feathers!"

Virginia followed Cindy's finger, her gaze drifting through the restaurant's massive floor-to-ceiling windows, wandering off to some entirely unknown place...

The winter right after they had gotten married had seen a massive blizzard exactly like this one.

The streetlights had illuminated the wildly swirling snowflakes into an impossibly blinding white. Archer had walked out of the hotel wearing a pure black cashmere coat, carrying the incredibly faint, lingering scent of alcohol.

Virginia had stood at the bottom of the hotel steps beneath a black umbrella, simply waiting for him.

The exact second she saw him step out, she lifted her umbrella and walked straight toward him.

Archer had frozen for a fraction of a second before finally taking the first step down the stairs.
