Her man dangerously squinted his eyes.
“Dear, the atmosphere is great, why won’t we do something that we love?”
“What? W-What love? What’s the thing?”
“You really have no idea?”
“I-I have no idea…”
“I’ll tell you now.”
“HEY! GIDEON LEITH!”
…
On the second day, Nell woke up with regret.
If she knew this would happen, she would not follow him all the way to the mountain peak!
Fortunately, she got something out of it. Her legs were sore and she could no longer walk down the mountain, so Gideon shouldered the task of carrying her down to the mountain foot.
The day was not as cold as the night. The sea breeze was blowing on their way down, causing the air to taste a little salty.
Nell leaned on her man’s back and due to the lack of sleep, she was not as energetic.
Gideon saw her dispirited look and said with a smile, “Don’t close your eyes so fast. It’s cold up here, you might catch a cold if you sleep now.”
Nell meekly grunted as a reply.
After they came down from the mountain, Gideon put her down on her feet and they walked back along the beach.
Since they had booked the air ticket to return to Jincheng that afternoon, right after Nell returned to the manor, she started packing up so that they could leave in the afternoon.
Gideon saw how busy she was with the packing and he could not bear looking at her running around. He grabbed her hand and dragged her to the couch.
“Calm down, take a break. I’ll bring you out for lunch later.”
Nell frowned.
“I thought you said our flight is at 2:00 p.m.? If I don’t start packing now, what if we can’t make it to the airport?”
“No, we won’t be late. If we are really late, I’ll just call Nancy for help.”
Gideon did not even ask for her opinion, he put a coat on for her and brought her out of the manor while holding her hands.
“Where are we going?”
“You will know when we arrive.”
A little further away from the manor was a high-class restaurant, which was the only fine dining restaurant in town.
A few days ago, the two of them unintentionally avoided this restaurant because they were here to experience being a commoner, a local. If they ate and lived like how they used to in Jincheng, this trip would lose its meaning.
However, Gideon brought her into the restaurant today.
The moment they got in, they heard a cheerful cry, “Mommy!”
Nell was shocked.
At the next second, she saw the pink little dumpling charging at her like a gale.
“Mommy! I missed you!”
Lizzy hugged Nell tightly and nuzzled up against her thighs, looking all cheerful and attached.
Nell widened her eyes in shock.
“Lizzy? Why are you here?”
A little further away, the old madam walked out with a slightly guilty look.
“Ahem. Nelly, we meet again.”
“Old Madam Quinton? You are here too?”
Nell was stunned. The old madam awkwardly smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I brought Lizzy here for a little vacation, I did not expect to meet you guys here. What a coincidence!”
Nell was speechless.
She turned around to Gideon and saw her man averted her gaze. He was looking at almost everything except for her eyes as if he was not part of what happened.
