Take Me Away novel Chapter 91

Fiona was still shocked.

How could it be possible that such a wonderful fate existed in this world? Just a few days ago, she was thinking about the boy whom she used to make snowmen with. And today, she saw him again for the first time in years.

"You were so young when we were separated. I'm surprised you remember me." George sighed. "I was only eight when we moved out. You were only four or five years old then, weren't you? We haven't seen each other in years. I thought if we saw each other again, we wouldn't even recognize each other."

As Fiona gazed at George's face,

all her memories suddenly came flooding back.

She realized that he still looked like the little boy

that she knew him to be.

"Sorry, I forgot your name. I should have recognized you earlier during the military training!" Fiona apologized.

"I don't blame you. I know that a lot of things happened to you over the years." George raised his hand in an attempt to comfort her, but after some hesitation, he decided against it. "It's been so long since I last saw you. I wanted to see you. But when I heard you were married, I was relieved and decided otherwise. How have you been all these years?"

"I'm fine." With a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth, she looked lovely. "Look at me. Do I not look fine?"

"That's good." George nodded. "Does Spencer treat you well?"

"He's good." The smile on her face didn't fade away but her heart was suddenly filled with sadness. "My parents arranged this marriage for me even when I was still young. I know they made the right choice. I'm glad that I can fulfill their wish."

At that moment, Spencer was just about to look for Fiona when he heard her speaking. Rendered speechless, he paused for a moment. 'Yeah. What else can she do?' he thought.

George felt his chest tighten when he noticed the mature gleam Fiona had in her eyes. She was still too young for all of this. He looked up at the sky and decided to change the topic. "It's snowing heavily now. Do you want to make a snowman tonight? Just like we used to do when we were young."

"Okay." Fiona agreed without thinking. "I haven't played in snow in a while, George..."

"Great!" Spencer said with a laugh.

Standing not far away from them,

Spencer rolled his eyes with disdain when he saw how happily they chatted.

He couldn't help but call out George's name to interrupted them. "George!"

Both Fiona and George turned around.

Spencer walked beside Fiona

and took her hand.

"It's cold. Why did you come out?" he asked her.

"I..." Fiona was a little uneasy as she looked at George, the discomfort on her face evident. It was weird to show off their relationship to him like this.

"Let's go back now," Spencer urged as he pulled her hand.
