Charlie laughed but he did not say anything after hearing Claire's words.
He knew why Lord Wilson stopped talking about that matter after he got married to Claire. It was probably because Lord Wilson felt that he had already repaid his debts to the Wade family by allowing him to marry Claire and giving him a family.
However, Charlie naturally could not tell Claire about this matter, s
At this time, Claire suddenly looked at the sky as she said with joy, "Wow! It's really snowing!" 2
Charlie raised his head and a piece of cold snow fell 0 n his forehead. After bringing a small hint of coolness, the snow melted in an instant.
In the beginning, only a few snowflakes fell sporadically but about ten minutes later, snowflakes started falling all over the sky in the night sky. 5
It was indeed rare for such heavy snow to fall in a southern city like Aurous Hill.
Claire was like a child as she danced happily in the snow.
When it started to snow more, Claire brought Charlie out to the courtyard. After that, she collected a thin layer of snow from the roof of the car before she told
Charlie, "If it continues snowing like this, we'll be able to build a snowman and have a snow fight tomorrow!"
Charlie nodded before he sighed and said, "I have not built a snowman in so many years."
The last time he had done such a thing was when he was still living in the orphanage. He was with his good friend, Harvey, and his younger sister, Stephanie, and they were building a snowman on the open grounds at the orphanage at that time. 4
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had already passed by.
The snow got heavier and heavier in Aurous Hill. At this time, all of the social networking sites were all filled with news and contents about the snow. Even Lord Moore posted a picture of the scene of the snow from the upper floor of his villa, accompanied by the caption: 'A timely snow promises a good harvest.'
Jasmine also posted something on her account. She did not post any pictures but she simply wrote one sentence: 'I wrote your name on the snow but I wiped i t away because I was afraid that people would be able t o see it clearly...' 6
Charlie guessed that the person that she was talking about was him. However, he did not like her post or leave any comments on it at all. i
That night, Charlie accompanied Claire as both of them played in the snow for a long time. They only returned to their bedroom to rest after midnight. 6
After turning off the lights, Charlie laid on his side of the bed as he tossed and turned around because he could not sleep.
When he got downstairs, his mother-in-law, Elaine who was wearing an apron rushed out of the kitchen and said affectionately, "Oh! My good son-in-law, why are you up so early today?"
Charlie replied, "I'm going to Eastcliff today and I won't be back for a few days."
Elaine hurriedly replied, "Oh, you're already leaving today? I made you some century egg and lean meat congee. Why don’t you eat a bowl of congee before you leave?”
Charlie waved his hand and said, "No. I have an early flight so I have to get there earlier."
Elaine hurriedly said, "Oh! Then I will see you out!" 1
After that, Elaine hurried out as she followed Charlie all the way to the door. 4
"My good son-in-law, are you driving to the airport?”
Charlie shook his head and said, "No, I will just take a cab there."
Elaine blurted out, "Why don't you ask your dad, that old man, to drive you there instead? Anyway, he's idle and has nothing to do."
