Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 223

Nanny Daisy was right about the snow. A few days later, it snowed in City P. I couldn’t go out because of my twisted ankle.

Resting for a couple of days in the villa, I did nothing else than reading and sleep. So I did put on quite a few pounds.

My ankle was recovering well and finally, I could go out for a walk - But City P became snowy already.

Dennis was busy at the moment and he didn’t have time to care for me. I was standing outside on the balcony, looking at the snowy white world.

The scene in front of my eyes reminded me of what Diana had said when we were younger. She always wanted to settle in a city where she could enjoy every snowy day in winter when she grew older.

Before I knew it, the new year was only a few days away now. I thought about what Alex Thomson had mentioned earlier that he and Diana would be coming back at the end of the year.

I took out my phone and dialed his number. Someone picked up after quite a while.

It was Alex. His voice was a bit hoarse, “It’s snowed in Country M here. Did it snow in City P?”

I nodded, “It did. It has been snowy for two days and the snow piled up so high. The whole world turned purely snow-white. Mhm... Are you guys coming back soon?”

After a brief pause, I couldn’t hold back my suppressed emotions, “I’ve missed you guys.”

On the other side of the phone, Alex sounded like he had caught a cold. He uttered, “Our plan was to go back at the end of the year. But we’ve only been here for less than three months and now it’s in freezing winter. We fear that the long travel would feel terrible and time-consuming. So... We might have to wait until spring comes when it’s warmer.”

“What about Diana? She hasn’t called me or returned any of my calls. I’ve missed her.” Looking at the falling snow outside the window, I felt a bit sad.

“Diana’s with the baby - They are taking a nap after lunch. I will ask her to call you back when she wakes up.”

I frowned and said seriously, “Alex, be honest with me - Is everything alright with Diana?”

If things were alright with her, it wouldn’t make sense that she never replied to any of my messages. It wasn’t one or two messages - It had been almost three months and there were no responses at all.

The other side of the phone went into a short silence. I was getting anxious, held on to the phone, and asked, “Alex, are you guys doing okay? What’s wrong with Diana?”

“She...She’s fine. It’s just that she hasn’t had a full recovery after having the baby. That was why we have come to Country M, for better healing and full recovery.

Every time you called, she told me not to mention anything to you.” What he had said seemed believable.

With the distance between us, for a moment I wasn’t sure if Alex was telling the truth. I added, “Alex, send me your address in the Country M. I will pay you guys a visit in a few days. I want to check on the baby too.”

“It’s freezing out here. Don’t bother coming over - You are not in your best health condition, and you might get sick after the long trip. It’s much colder here in Country M than in City P. We will be on our way back when the baby grows older. Diana should be doing much better by then.”

Alex said all these in a hurry. Hearing there was a baby crying in the background, Alex hurriedly said, “The baby is crying. I am going to go check on them and send you some baby pictures later. I’ve got to go.”

Alex hung up immediately. I spaced out for a while holding the phone.
