Michelle was wearing a slim, black dress paired with a red hat. The dress was simple yet very fashionable, and it suited her quite well.
She also wore only light makeup.
Even though she still had a youthful face, her appearance was marked by womanly charm.
The grey winter sky hung above their heads. Forecasts suggested that there would be light snowfall in Lexingport City that evening.
As Michelle walked on, she turned her eyes skyward and asked, "Do you think it's really going to snow tonight?"
"I don't know. I guess we'll see by then," Helen said with a smile.
Leon walked beside Michelle. Seeing the sparkle of excitement in her eyes, he asked, "Do you like snow? If you do, I should take you to the Snow Village when we have the time."
"Thank you, Leon." With a sweet smile on her face, Michelle glanced at Leon. Then she turned her eyes to the sky once again. "Well, if it does snow tonight, that would be the first snow of this winter in Lexingport City. They say that lovers who witness the winter's first snow will stay together for a lifetime."
While she spoke, she stole a glance at Leon and looked away quickly. She thought he didn't notice it.
Looking straight ahead, Leon couldn't help smiling gently.
When they arrived at the front door, Emma pulled Michelle aside. She looked at her with eyes full of concern. Asking her to turn around, she observed her closely. She was trying to see if she has totally recovered.
On the other hand, Leon didn't go inside immediately. He just stood by the door and looked at the happiness on Michelle's face. "Helen, I won't go back tonight," he told her.
"Mr. Lu, your room is always ready. We clean it every day so you can stay any time you wish," Helen answered considerately. "And also, Miss He's room isn't far from yours. So if you want to check on her, it'll be very convenient."
Leon was pleasantly surprised at how thoughtful she was. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he pressed his fist to his lips and coughed.
Helen had helped him out many times in the past, and he was really grateful for her service.
She smiled at him and said, "Mrs. Shi originally wanted the two of you to share the same room. However, she was concerned that Miss He would feel shy with this setup. So instead, she asked me to arrange a room for her that was close to yours."
Hearing this, Leon felt embarrassed, and his ears flushed red.
He felt that his sister was teasing him about his relationship with Michelle. Looking away, he hurriedly stepped inside.
In the living room, there were only three people—Michelle, Emma and James. John still had some things to finish, so he was still at his office. On the other hand, Nina had to pick up her kids from school, and she had just arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Soon, the car passed the iron gate of the North Yard and proceeded to the castle.
Inside the car, Nina gave instructions to her children. "Kids, Michelle is going to stay with us for a couple of days, so is Leon. You can play with him, but don't disturb Michelle, okay? She has just been discharged from the hospital, and needs time to rest. Don, don't run to her and hug her, as she may fall. Do you hear me?"
The kids answered in chorus, "I know, Mom."
"Great." Glancing at the two kids, she reached out and ruffled their hair. Finally, the car slowed down to a stop. "Alright, we're home."
A servant approached and opened the car door for the children. Just as Van and Don stepped out of their car, they heard a car roaring not too far away.
Nina got out of the car as well. The three of them turned their heads toward the sound and saw a yellow Lamborghini parked by the roadside. It was very bright and eye-catching.
Just by looking at the plate number, they already knew who it was.
"Look, Mom. That's Uncle Adrian's car!" Don said, stretching out his finger to point at it.
"I guess Uncle Henry is also there," Van added.
As the kids expected, they saw Adrian and Henry step out of the car. Adrian looked dashing and classy. He wore thin clothes despite the winter.
Wearing a pair of eyeglasses, Henry looked like a gentleman. His manly hairstyle added to his appeal as well. He had been working as the CEO of Ye Group for a few years, and he looked a little domineering.
"Vance, Donald," Adrian greeted them with a smile. He had begun to use their full names instead.
He then bent over and picked up one of them in his arms. Since he couldn't tell the kids apart, he just decided to choose one randomly.
