The Officer's Runaway Wife & Secret Son novel Chapter 80

Clara tried to pull her hand back, but he gripped it tightly.

"If you're afraid of the cold, don't run around."

Rhys finally spoke, his tone revealing little emotion.

The light in Margot's eyes dimmed. She bit her lower lip, forcing a smile. "...Yeah, I know."

Clara let out a breath.

Then she heard Rhys add, "I'll take you another time when I'm free."

Clara's heart, which had just settled back into her chest, was hoisted up again.

What was the difference?

In his future plans, there was always a seat reserved for Margot.

Clara looked at the new ring on his finger.

The other day, he had sworn that this leave was only for her.

How much time had passed, and he was already planning a trip with someone else?

Indeed, it was only this time that was for her.

Margot didn't give up. "Actually, I don't necessarily have to go to Sunbay City. It just feels too lonely being in Brighton City alone. Clara, how many days are you going for? I wish I had your health, so I could accompany Rhys everywhere."

Clara looked at her coldly. "If your health is bad, stay in the hospital."

"It's a five-hour flight to Sunbay City.If you have a medical crisis at thirty thousand feet, you'll end up grounding the entire flight. Miss Johnson, stop causing trouble."

Margot's face turned deathly pale. "Clara, I just envy you guys. I didn't mean to cause trouble..."

The old man tapped the table with a dark expression. "Focus on your meals."

The others at the table exchanged glances and changed the subject.

After dinner, according to the Huntington family tradition, fireworks were set off in the courtyard.

The Huntington Mansion was halfway up the mountain, so fireworks weren't banned.

Every year at this time, the Huntington family fireworks were a sight to behold in Brighton City.

The children couldn't sit still and clamored to go out and play.

Liam took a few kids and carried out several boxes of fireworks, setting them up in the clearing in the center of the yard.

The snow outside had stopped, but the wind was still biting.
