Take Me Away novel Chapter 90

The base was surrounded by high mountains on one side and dense forests on the other. Due to the high altitude, it was always much colder than the balmy coast of M City. As soon as Fiona stepped out of the building, her pale skin flushed rosy pink.

"You are so stupid!" Spencer scolded when he saw this. He took the coat draped over her arm and put it on her. "What's the point of holding the coat in your arm when you're freezing? Can't you have worn it instead? Stupid!"

Fiona was startled. "But this is your coat."

"It's fine. I don't feel cold." He swiftly buttoned her coat. "You can fasten the buttons on the wrist yourself."

His coat was a little too big for Fiona's petite body. It almost covered her entire upper body, only leaving her fingertips and her head exposed. She blinked her eyes. It made her look a bit funny, but in a cute way.

"Ahem!" He coughed covering his mouth. As he looked at Fiona's eyes, he felt enchanted. He gently tousled her hair. "You're not feeling cold now, right? Let's go!"

"Okay." Fiona nodded.

"Mr. Cheng! Mrs. Cheng!" Johnson saluted them when he saw them.

Spencer gave him a slight nod.

As they walked a little further, they saw a team of people waiting for them. "Hello, Mr. Cheng!"

"Hmm." Spencer nodded absently. "Let's go."

"Yes, sir!"

They walked towards the main entrance of the base.

Fiona and Spencer walked in the front. He marched fast, while she jogged under her large coat to catch up with him.

"Hey, do you mind slowing down a little bit?" she called to him as she couldn't match his speed.

As soon as she finished speaking, she bumped into Spencer's back, feeling dizzy.

"You're good at sketching and talking. Other than that, you're just an idiot," Spencer blurted out tactlessly.

Fiona shook her head in disbelief and continued to follow him.

Spencer slowed down a little, so Fiona finally caught up to him and walked alongside him.

Johnson walked behind them clumsily. Spencer was walking too slowly for his wife's sake. He was much slower than usual.

Spencer turned to Fiona. "When we get there, don't talk unnecessarily. Just follow my lead and greet people when I introduce them to you."

She anxiously bit her lip. "Is it really appropriate for me to come along?"

Spencer shook his head. "Well, it's not entirely appropriate. But it would seem rude if you didn't come. They already know that you're here. Won't they think you're refusing to see them off,

Mrs. Cheng?"

Fiona was surprised when Spencer called her "Mrs. Cheng."

At the main entrance, Eric and Daniel saluted Spencer as soon as they arrived.

"Where are they?" Spencer asked them.

"They're ten kilometers away. They'll be here soon," Eric replied.

"Okay." Spencer nodded. "Let's wait for some time. Fiona, are you feeling cold?"

"No, I'm good." Fiona sighed. In fact, she felt like the coat was a little too warm.
